(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
