Hopes fo1 a Fast Quarterback.

Hopes fo3 a Fast Quarterback.
Coach Reilly and Capt butcher pin their
hopes of developing fast quarterback on
another law school man. Thompson.
Thompson was considered the best of the
high school quarterbacks three years ago.
when he attend ID Army and Navy Prep
school Even at that tim" he was touted as
a marvel at puntirg. and he was not far be-
hind Noagkns last fall when the two were
out for preliminary practice on Georgetown
Field Thompson was unable to spare the
time to play foot ball in lgO6. but Is out
for the 1907 team in earnest. and is much
heavier then at his last appearance. 1t is
expected that he will ably fill the vacancy
left in the backfield by the graduation of
Capt. Bocock and that he will develop
into classy a punter and place kicker

Martin. from the Geo SetOWn Prep School.
are also out for talfback positions, Both
men are very fast. hut lack the weight
necessary to car y them through such a
strenuous season as the present schedule
for the Elue and Gray eleven seems to give
promise Of Bill Fitzgerald. the husky
freshman from Albany Academy and
brother Of the captain OF the Georgetown
crew. will try for fullback. He plays
hard game and is heavy as butcher.
With the increase of the time of the halves
this season. Coach Reilly plans to de-
velop a second set Of backs. and with the
abundance of good mate ial now at the
BLU and Cray institution there is every
thing to point to the coach's Intentions be-
coming reality. So much for the back
field.
Mclaughlin who has he'd down end for
two seasons is again available. OBoy!e,

out at end. Another high school star of
last season is Mess of Technical. He may
he tried at quarter or at end. Pallen.
brother of the old Georgetown athlete. has
been doing well at quarter. and Will be tflsd
out against Thompson.
Buckley. who played so wei in the big
games the latter part of last season. will
have no difficulty in holding center. as he
returns to school heavier than ever, and
in the finest of condition.
Two Husky Tacklers Wanted.
Morton is expected back to play one of
the guard positions. and there several
good men from whom to lex the other
guard. but from present Indications the
principal difficulty which the Georgetown
aches will have to overcome Will be to
find two husky tackles. 1 he Dig games idSl

tackles were not heavy enough to do ef-
fectfve work. This was notably SO in the
George Washington game. where pair of
big tackles could have played havoc with
the Buff and Blue line and could have pre-
vented that team from scoring. Cudahy

last season a good end and hafback. who
was out of the game most of the year on
account of injuries. and possibly Allen
Cilcnnon, the veteran guard who Is now
barred from the team on account or a con-
dition in studies. Another new man VINO
may develop into an excellent linesman Is
Ruez last season a sub halfback on George
Washington. Grogan made his G in the
Virginia game last season, is out again for
d place and Tom Stuart, brother OF last
years big tackle. is showing up well in
practice at end.
Manager Fitzgerald announces that DR..
Reilly will be assisted by the former
Georgetown stars Perry Owens and Bun

otfiCia $ this year will be thoroughly COM
petent, and il is practically assured tlat Two
former great coaches and foot ball authorl-
ties Doc Woodruff of pennsylvania and
Alcott of Yale, will officiate at the big
