I he 1 lilltoppcrs were behind 7-0 in the Seconal i criod, when Be er leaped high into the air, intercepted a Billikcn pass on his own 20 and behind expert bUxk- ing, threaded his a ' 80 ards down the sideline for a score. Baranowski, who was later to sa e the da for Georgetown, added the extra point to tie up the score. The third period was scoreless, but the final stanza brought much excitement to the chilled fans. After Georgetown drove from their own 48 to the St. Louis 1, a Baranowski fumble ga e St. Louis the ball. A wobbly Billiken kick then went out to their own 14, and the Hoyas were then again in position to score. On a succeeding play, Georgetown fumbkvL but the alert Tony Beyer recovered the l all on the Billikens ' 5. Baranowski then plungCLl () er the line making the score i )-7. The tr for the extra point was blocked. St. Louis was the first to score, taking the aeUantage of a G.U. miscue. Paul Walsh, who pla ed a fine game, fumbled on his own 8-yard line, and Weisner of the Billikens reco ' ered. On the fourth down, Crowder shot around his own left end for a touchdown and Broeg added the extra point. The real hero of the game was, of course, Be er, who by scoring in the second period, and by recover- ing the fumble in the last, enabled the Hoyas to rack up another win. The Hoya line, big and handy, sparked by Elmer Oberto, caused the St. Louisites plenty of trouble by recovering 3 of their fumbles. C,i:OR(,l-: WASHINGTON STOPPED!

illanooa ig (B.ia. 2 o N October 20 the rampaging Wikl- cats of Villano a trampled George- town at Shibe Park, coming out on the long end of a 19-2 count. After the Georgetown kick-off, the Cats ran aground in three plays, and returned a punt as far as their own 48-yard stripe. One running play produced a first down for the home towners on the 20, but here the G.U. line held and Werder and Koncelik broke through forcing the opposition to throw two futile aerials. Georgetown took possession of the ball, but no advance could be made, and Raba punted to the Wildcats ' 30. Capriotti recei ed the ball, and was not hindered until Banonis bounced him on the Hoyas 38, The next play proved too bewildering for the Hilltoppers, so while most of the team was engaged in chasing a decoy, Rogers slipped through tackle on what might be termed as a delayed hand- off thrust. He scored unmolested while Kane flattened Bonforte with one of the most beau- tifully thrown blocks of the day. That was, unfortunately, the tenor of the game, because the ' Cats scored again on that same play, the only difference being that Ca- priotti carried instead of Rogers. Their third score was the climax of a sustained 87-yard drive, Rogers and Capriotti performing most of the labor. The Georgetown thrill came when Johnny Preston scampered 71 yards down the far side line, only to be caught on the 8-yard line, and the Hoyas couldn ' t push the ball over the goal. Another drive, featuring Jack McTamney, stalled on the Wildcats ' 20 by interception, and on the next play resulted in an automatic safety after a Villanova fumble rolled out of the end rone.

(5.m. 18 6.m 6 THE Hoyas provided a surprise finish to the traditional intercity battle this beautiful Fall time afternoon, as they registered two lightning-fast touch- downs in the final minutes of play to win 18-b. Ha ' ing been on the short end of the ground gaining all afternoon, the Ho as en- tered the final period with no signs of an ability to break the b-b deadlock. Then quite un- expectedly, Lou Surman pulled Babe Baran- owskis pass out of the blue, and scampered 51 yards down the middle for a score. Xot forty seconds later, Len Bonforte intercepted a Colonial aerial on their 32-yard line, ran it back for the final touchdown, and the Hill- toppers had the ball game. In the first period. Tackle Jim O ' Keefe opened the scoring for the Hoyas. GW, on its own 3-yard line, attempted a kick which was blocked and O ' Keefe, recovering the ball, ran it into the end zone for a touchdown, the first of his football career. The GW ' s evened the score in the second period, when end Dick Koester looped a pass to Frank Close in the end zone. The b-b score remained unchanged until the blitz work of Surman and Bonforte in the final stanza. Despite the -ictory, Georgetown was out- played in many departments. The GW ' s seemed to roam the field at will, except when in sight of the goal line. One GW attack was halted on the 10 in the third period when Buddy Spiess recovered a fumble for the Blue and Grav. 119
