Glennon, a veteran guard of last season
who has also been suffering from in
Jur1es. During the week Vilsack, last
years big tackle and captain of the
Georgetown Props, has been PLAYING at
left tackle. where he shows lots of
speed in carrying the ball. Either Caine,
big freshman from the west, or Null
lens. who was a member of the second
team last year, will play at the other
tackle until Fitzgerald gets out again.
Two New Halfbacks.
Two new halfhacks are showing I'D
well, McNulty, a freshman from HYDE
Park High, and MUlcair, who captained
Boston Tech two years ago. Johnny Mar
tin and Earl Mohh. members of the fast
Prep relay team last year, are trying for
the back field and have the required speed,
but lack weight. Tom Stuart, a brother

Is giving Cohan q close call for quarter
back, as he seems to tackle better and
runs the team as we'll, but is not so fast
on his feet.
Coach Reilly believes in having a good
assortment of line plays, and for tn
reason has directed his efforts to develop
ing mainly short plunges, crosS-tackle and
such plays. The forward pass has been
used quite extensively. Georgetown will
not rely entirely on this tricky and diff
cult play, but will use it only as an occa-
siOnal diversion. Another new pIay which
is new in the south and which GEORGETOWN
Is rapid developing is the divide play"
in which the offense separates its men so
that the opposing team has considera BILE
difficulty in determining the exact posi-
tor of the ball.
Manager Fitzgeralds original schedule

University team was in bad shape and
was obliged to cancel the game so that
the Georgetown had to go two weeks
without game. The Baltimore Needles
for the same reason withdrew from their
game. and Manager Fitzgerald was lucky
enough to get the University of MARYLAND
to fill the date
This team, as was shown yesterday.
proved a hard nut fer Georgetown to
crack. The line averaged $50 pounds and
is made up of several former college play
els who are now taking medicine at the
southern university. The eleven showed
woeful lack of training, but before the
season is over may develop into a strong
aggregation.
