HURRICANES TIE GEORGETOWN
SEVEN POINTS
ARE SCORED
O’Brien Catches Pass And Carries Ball Past Goal Line
The fighting Hurricanes fought a heavier Georgetown College foot ball team Saturday for sixty full minutes and in the last two minutes of play scored their touchdown by cever passwork and tied the gentlemen from Kentucky.
A large crowd had gathered’ to see the game, expecting the heavier visitors to run rough shod over the locals. But something happened. Instead of quitting after Georgetown scored, the Hurricanes came back and fought the visitors off their feet for the rest of the game. Fes, the suspense was terrible and many of us haven’t fully recovered from the shock of the last “Two Minutes.” It reminded us of the picture Red Grange played in. Taking the ball in midfield, Courtney tossed the pigskin to O’Brien who made a one-handed circus catch of it only to fumble as the Georgetown backs crashed into him. But the break was not long in their favor for Norton dropped down from nowhere to recover for Miami. That is football and not breaks, though. And now for the climax. Cliff dropped back and called the same signal and once again O’Brien ran down the field and picked the ball out of the blue sky which Cliff had tossed some 40 yards with unerring ' accuracy. The stands burst into uproar as the excited O’Brien crossed the goal line.
But the game was not tied yet. Once again the old reliable CourL ney who appeared to be the only unexcited person in 20 miles radius dropped back for his try for the extra ponit. If he missed the try Miami was beaten. If he made good it was a tie game. As usual, Cliff came through in the pinch and sent the ball between the goal posts with the aid of his educated toe.
It was Miami’s first score in five games, but it meant more than any other score ever did. The play seemed to electrify the entire crowd who rose as a single body to cheer the “Fighting Hurricanes.” Never had such a demonstration of enthusiasm been witnessed in Miami.
Miami attempted an onside kickoff but it failed and it was Georgetown’s ball in midfield. In desperation Georgetown resorted to an aerial attack but the whistle stopped the game before it did any harm.
Before I forget it in the excitement here is how Georgetown scored in the second quarter. They intercepted one of Courtney’s passes on their own 37 yard line. On the next play Kemp, their star fullback, crashed through tackle and cut back to weave his way past every man only to be overtaken by the fast Sutton on Miami’s 15 yard line. Anderson pulled the best play he had on the bag of tricks, a triple lateral pass to himself and behind perfect interference made a wide end run to score the touchdown. Cranes kicked the extra point.
Credit first to the coaches, Buck and Brett. They have rebuilt a lighting team from the same material that just wouldn’t fight three weeks ago. • Their tackling has improved a thousand percent. There was not a sick looking tackle made Saturday, and for the first time in many moons they presented a scoring punch.
Stars, yes the team was full of them. Everyone did his bit, even the sub who sat on the bench, for it was he who helped whip the varsity into shape to do the trick.
Garbonneau was surely an outstanding star. The New England lad did everything a back is supposed to do. He accounted for the most yardage gained during the day. After Cliff’s leg was hurt he was assigned to the punt-mS job and his punts averaged over 40 yards. His circus catch °f Cliff’s 40 yard pass was spectacular in itself, let alone the sommersaults he was forced to Continued On Page Four)
