SCRIMMAGE WORK.
Coach Newman Endeavoring to Find
Out Any Weak Points.

For the past two days the Georgetown
foot ball squad has been put through
some pretty tough scrimmages. On Mon
day the varsity had no trouble putting
1t on the scrubs but yesterday things
were the other way and the regular
eleven had hard work keeping the second
team from scoring. The scrimmaSinR
lasted twenty minutes. and during that
time the scrubs gained a lot Of ground
by line plunges. Some new trick plays,
however. helped the varsity to make up
the lost territory, SO that on the whole
the outcome Was even. with neither side
scoring touchdown.
Some damage was done during the fray
which may cost the Blue and Gray a good
man for Saturdays game. O'Rourke. the
star left tackle. twisted his ankle while
lodging tackle and had to be helped
off the field. 1t was quite painful last
night, but the big fellow says that ne
will be in the game before the week is
out. Every one hopes that such will be
the case. for he is one of the strongest
men on the line and great help to the
runners on bucks through tackle and
guard.
A new man turned up yesterday and by
his work ON the field showed that he has
played the game before. His name is
Delaney and he halls from Alexandria.
Being over the 200 mark, and at the same
thought he should be at home at one Of
the tackles. and had him running through
signals at that position the second
team.
Although not confident as he was be-
fore the A. and NJ battle. yet Capt. Mil
Ter feels pretty sure that his team will be
able to trim North Carolina in Satur-
days game. But no chances are being
taken and both he and the coach have
been working hard 20 develop more speed
in the back field and sIister charging in
the line. SO that Whirlwind onslaught
at the start will he met by the same kind
of a defense, If it happens again this sea-
son.
On Monday Coach Nelson of George
Washington was up talking with New.
man. and the two were together for some
minutes on the field. What the subject
of their conversation was nobody knows,
but the incident has started rumor that
there Is chance of tine two universities
coming together on the gridiron before
the end of the season. But all this is
only hearsay. and. Judging from what the
Georgetown management has given out.
there is not particle of chance for the
contest. This means that the only big
game on the hill will be the one with
Virginia on November H.
