he played on the baseball and football
teams When ne entered the univer-

and in the spring made second base
Last year he was chosen for quarter
back and played the position through
out the season.
Never Left Game.
He was never taken out Of q game on
account Of injuries and IL was largely
due 70 his clever open-field tackling
after the Indians had repeatedly broken
away from the line that Georgetown
was able 10 keep Carlisle from running
up a larger score. Although suffering
from a severe blow on The head he did
heroic work in the Lehigh contest In
which his sure tackling was much iu
evidence.
Last spring he was shifted from the
iufield 10 the center garden IN the ball
team, where he played during the great
F. or part Of the season, but on the
Northern trip he was again moved tu
second base. AT the Georgetown indoor
meet last winter McGettigan made his
first appearance as a runner and won
