The Washington herald., 1909-10-30
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Washington's one big football game to-
day is the battle between George Wash
ington and Ursinus at National Park.
and II the Hatchetites are able 20 get
away with the winners end OF this battle,
the writer will take back all the unlHiud
things he has said about Coach Dough-
erty.
The Ursinus team reached town late
yesterday afternoon and made no bones
OF the fact that they expect 20 beat the
Buff and Blue by a good-sized margin.
The writer predicts score Of at least
y to 0 in favor OF the Pennsylvania boys.
In the first place, Ursinus has the ad-
vantage Of weight, experience, and better
coaching. and it is hard TO see where
the Hatchetites. with a patched-up back
field. can expect to DO very much on the
offense. and their defense VIII hardly be
able 10 withstand the onsiaughts OF the
visitors vicious attack
George washington held its final prac-
tice yesterday afternoon behind closed
gates. and is ready 70 give Ursinus the
game of its life to-day.
Coach Dougherty has the utmost conf
dence in HIS men. and predicts a hard
fought game. The squad is in good ply
sicai condition, with the exception Of a
few minor bruises. VILE having the
worst. in a sprained ankle White made
his appearance on the field yesterday Tor
the first time since the Western Mary
land game, when he received a nasty cut
over the eye. which has been slow IN
healing.
The men put plenty OF speed and ginger
IN their final practice. and ran through
| signals like q machine. They all know
they are up against stif proposition
/ to-day, and are prepared to work their
hardest.
The game viii start half an hour earlier
to-day. the whistle blowing at 600
( o'clock.
l A big crowd is expected out, as it is
the only big game scheduled IN Wash
! ington.
The officials are Jack Gass. Of Lehigh.
and Baker. Of Chicago.
/ Yesterday afternoon there was no
scrimmage held on the Georgetown Field,
Coach Newman being content with let
! ting the men work on signals and trick
plays. besides some time spent In dummy
/ tackling.
/ Several Of the plays which Fordham IS
/ expected 10 use against the Hnltoppers
In the game in New York next Tuesday
were taught the scrubs and the varsity
shifted their line accordingly 10 break
up the attack. No scrimmage resulted
1 from these plays as Newman only wanted
TO give his men a theoretical knowledge
Of meeting the New Workers when they
Ispring these trick plays on them.
Coming close on the announcement that
Waldron was compelled 10 quit because
OF parental objections, comes the news
that MacNamera was called home sud-
denly yesterday and win probably not
play any more this year. MacNamera
played end on the scrubs and had first
call on that position In the varsity line
Up, should anything happen to the reg
ular men.
It IS hardly possible that Joe NcNulty
Will go TO New York with the team on
Monday. The big fellow still suffers a
great deal from his spreIned ankle, and
he does not want 20 take any chances Of
not being IN f1rst-rate condition when
the annual contest with Virginia rolls
around IN q couple OF weeks. His posi-
ton will be filed by Carlin or Connolly.
men both capable OF putting up a good
game.
The back field will be completed with
Mcfarland taking Waldron's place at
full, and Carrigan will DO seer back in
his old position at right half.
