WORKING HARD
At GEORGETOWN
Liqht Work to Be Followed by
Lineups and Scrimmages.
Largest Squad Since
1903.

Coach Bill Newman is rather optmist ic
over the first weeks work OF the squad at
Georgetown, hence is doing very little
talking. indulging in no prophetic gossip,
but IS bucking down. getting the men into
action and watching like a hawk the
movements of each individual player.
The aggregation is a much lighter one
than I anticipated 7 really expected
some big fellows for the line. but some
times the big ones are a hindrance rather
than blessing. and I hope it will turn
out that way for Georgetown" is what
Bit Newman observed to a Star re
porter when questioned about the pros
poets for the year.
II am a stranger here continued the
coach. land all the Blue and Gray talk
about is the defeat of Virginia, as if that
was the one paramount issue, but am
going in to make every game the issue so
] will hammer them into shape Tor the
entire schedule and make as much play
for the minor games as the one with the
doughty Virginians.'
The squad is getting larger each day
and Manager Lynch and Capt. Miller are
becoming more satisfied each day Win
the results, which both claim will be
more than fulfilled by the end of this
week when the departmental schools, law
and medicine. open. AT present the
squad is the largest turned out in five
years and as far numbers are con-
cerned, everything is most satisfactory
Coach Newman found the heat during
the past week rather oppressive, and not
very good for foot ball training. Most of
the work consisted of passing the "medi-
cine ball" punting and falling on the ball.
There was one or two lne-upS, but no
sCrimmaCe to speak of. but from Mon
day regular work in line-ups VIII com,
mence and things will assume a real
