Georgetown's Captain Goes on
the Shelf With a Sprain-
ed Ankle.

The varsity squad at Georgetown were
given quite a jolt Monday when Capt
Miller came out on clutches and reported
that sprained ankle would probably
keep him out of the Gallaudet game. He
hurt lis limb Sunday evening by Slip
ping on the stairs going up to his corridor
1t is not bad sprain, however. and the
doctors say that with carful treatment
he will be able to get back in the har-
ness next week
But the inability of the gritty little end
was not the only thing that dropped into
the Blue and Gray camp yesterday for
the prospects were considerably bright
enei ny the feturn of Thomson, Devine.
Alser and Viisack Thomson was up
watching practice last evening. and Will
be i'll suit this afternoon. lie will BE-
remembered as d fast half ard star punter
of last years eleven. The other three
will not report till tomorrow, as they
have school duties to attend to first. De
vine made the team both last year and
the year before and played in some OF
the big games. but was kept out of
the smaller ones on account of injuries
NlSack, who is a tackle. was strong
man or the line the first part of last
year but did not play during the latter
half o! tnt: season on account of the death
OF his mother. Alger, a guard. who
welgnS'22U pounds, never played until late
last fall His lack of experience handi-
capped him somewhat, but even with this
dISad! antage he made good and proved to
be a stone wall in the George Washington
ga;uJ..
In addition to these, couple of new
ones showed up in the persons of Gilfoye
and Heaiy Both will start work the last
OF he week. Gilfoye is an end and car
ries great reputation. as he played four
years On the fast Waterbury High crew.
Healy is two-hundred-pound who
couldn't get around last year on account
Of his studies. This difficulty has been re-
moved and he says that he will be in for
the snapper-back position from now on.
OF the bunch that has been on the
field since work began MaheE looks the
most promising. He has good boot for
Kicking and is also quick in line PUSHES.
At present lie seems fully capable Of
holding down butchers old job. Bailey
another big lad, who played full on the
Props three years ago, is also making
good, but this time on the line. Nc
Namara, eX-captain of Norwich High,
seems to be a hard worker and 1t would
not be surprising to see him play part
ner to Miller on the ends. Carter and
Wymard. both of about the same size
and able to tip the scales at 165, are
working well at the tackles, as is also
Eager, an eX-Central player Martin,
Pallon. McNulty and Vlymen are fight
ing for places in the backtield. and Stu
art is alternating with Sitterding at quar-
played center and guard for two years
on the Props, have been kept together by
Coach Neuman and are working like a
we'll oiled machine.
Mcdonald and Mess have not been
around yet, but both have sent word
that they will hit up the pigskin as soon
as possible. These should prove to be
valuable men.
Signals were given out Saturday and
scrimmaging will probably be In order
this afternoon. The men are getting tired
no doubt but that a good stiff miXup will
make them feel better.
Speaking of the prospects. Capt. Miller
said today: Il think that We will have
the best team that has been on the Blue
and Gray gridiTOn since the new athletic
regime was put in action. Our best men.
have not reported as yet, but the twenty
five who have been on hand regularly
during the past week are a likely looking
bunch and should be able to make some
of the old stars hustle. When all the
schools get running / have no doubt but
that we will have squad of nearly forty.
a number almost double that of the past
three years. At any rate, our team will
be able to render an account of itself
when called upon
In addition to the contest scheduled for
Friday the Georgetown Props and West
ern High elevens will meet on the Prep
field at 3 pm. today. AS this will be the
first time either team has been in action
this season it is expected that quite
crowd of followers will be present in
teams No definite lineup has been given
cut as yet. and the opinion is that the
coaches will try all their material during
the game
