w-p- r.A . ■ A A , .- A. 6.ia. 19 B.a.ia. 12 THE Hoyas rang down the gridiron curtain with an exciting 19-12 win over unexpectedly tough New York University at the Yankee Stadium in New York City. The Violets were far from shrink- ing as they drew first blood with a fast touch- down passplay that covered 47 yards, in the second canto. No sooner was the kick-off com- pleted, when on the first play from scrimmage, GU s little Lou Miller carried the ball 71 yards to the goal line and a score on a sensa- tional broken field run. Baranowski drop kicked the extra point, and GU went into the lead, 7-b. Then it was all Baranowski as the durable little quarterback passed the team to the Violet 7. From there he skirted left end for the second score. His successful drop kick was called back for a clipping penalty, but his next try from the 17 went wide. Score — GU 13, NYU b. NYU then came into its own as Millman lugged leather to the GU 7, and on the fourth try cracked over. The extra point misfired, and the Hoyas still led, but by the slim margin of a lone point. Halfway through the final quarter, Bara- nowski grabbed a Violet pass and returned it to the 50. Tom Graham swept left end and tra ' eled the necessary yardage for the final score of the game. Baranowski missed the extra point, and N ' U took to throwing des- perate passes. The closing minutes were in- deed exciting with do or die plays by the Violet team and the brilliant defense work of the Blue and Gray line, but the score remained 19-12. 122
