GEORGETOWN FOOTBALL
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT
Dave Fultz VIII Probably
Coach Team This Year.
MANAGER BEARY A HUSTLER
Captain Hart Will Endeavor to Get To-
gether an Eleven Capable of Twist
ing the Tigers Tail on October "a.

Now that the college baseball season
has closed. the Georgetown football en-
thusiasts, and the rumor committee as
well, are busy. Speculation is rife as to
what the 1903 football season holds in
store for the wearers of the Blue and
Gray That Georgetown will have one
of the best managed football teams on
the grfdiron this fall is palpably mani
fest by the election OF J. Van Beary. as
manager. If there is any student at
Georgetown who is capable Of running
the Blue and Gray team as it should be
managed, that person is Beary. He is
popular and well liked by almost every
one Of the boys at the institution, and
Is good business manager as we'll as
good fellow.
Then, too. Georgetown has an able
and capable captain for next year in the
person of Hub Hart, who has won
laureis, both on the gridiron and the
baseball field. He played right half back
last year, and whenever he was given
the ball, and it was possible for any
man 10 make the distance, Hub made
good. He is as fearless as a lion. and
one might just as well try to stop
cable car as Hub" when he gets his
steam up. He has legs like a piano and
shoulders like a derrick. and his good
playing on the team last year won for
MIN the captaincy of this years eleven.
Hart will get everything out of the men
that is in them. and has high hopes of
developing rafting good team before
the Princeton game
Coach Not Yet Selected.
Although it is a tribe early to make
predictions, and the final decision has
not yet been made, it is almost certain
That Dave FultZ. OF the New York Ameri-
can League baseball team, will coach
the Georgetown knights of the gridiron.
The fact OF the matter is. he is the only
man who has been suggested for the
place. and, inasmuch as he has not
been hired by any other college or uni
versity for the 1903 season, it looks
good from here. Fultz knows foot
ball, and he knows it well. He is a good
baseball player, but far better foot
ball coach, During the last ten years
ne has coached a number of crack col
have all been good ones Last year he
had the distinction of coaching the
crack Lafayette College team, which
buried Georgetown so deep in the mud
on the Blue and Gray campus that the
West End collegians have not recovered
yet. There is no disputing the fact that
the Lafayette team was a corking good
one last year, and Georgetown will in all
Likelihood have the same kind of team
II Fultz is retained as Instructor.
Many Candidates Expected.
1t IS true Georgetown will not have
several of the good men of last years
tribe on this seasons eleven, but If
there are any changes in the line up ii is
safe 10 assume they will be made for the
better Back of the line. which will be
almost as impossible as the van of the
American army in actual warfare, the
Blue and Gray team will be stronger
than ever Among those who have made
good at the halves and at fullback. and
who Will in all likelihood turn out in
September, are Joe Reilly, captain of
last years eleven; Hub" Hart. Hardes-
", Carroll, Morris, Preston, Edmon-
ston, Abbattichio. and several other
heet-footed, iron-nerved fearless lads.
On the line will be seen such husky lads
as Mahoney. Bill Thompson, Mcclellan.
Armstrong. Charlie Seitz, Rorke. Nc
CURE and few newcomers All of the
above named men are fierce warriors
and fight until the last second has
elapsed. Rorke was a candidate for the
captaincy Of the tribe. but failed to get
1t. 1t is not believed. however, that this
will influence him toward remaining of
the team this year.
With the material he will have in
hand. the Georgetown coach. whoever
he may be, can develop a formidable
team, which could make it interesting
and score al least once on the Princeton
Tigers on October II when the teams
play in Princeton. Captain Hart pur-
posed To issue the call fer the candi-
dates earlier than ever this season,
PICK out fifteen men. concentrate all of
his efforts on them for the time being,
and Journey over to Princeton TO twist
the Tigers extremities II is possible and
highly probable, and the Georgetown
coach and Hart ought TO be able 10 turn
the trick.
A Possible Lineup.
Even with the men now in sight a
strong team could be selected and lined
up in this wise:
Armstrong, LETT end: Charlie seitz. left
tackle; Rorke or Mahoney, left guard; |
Mcclure, center; Thompson, right
guard; McGettigan, right tackle; Har-
iesty, right end; Abbattichio, quarter
