boys'' Of Georgetown College trimmed the
new boys" was rather rudely interrupt
ed yesterday when Bill Carrigan, an ath-
lete Of great note from the Pacific coast
and erstwhile shortstop OF the plebians
sprained the ligaments of his knee while
trying to make second on a short bunt
to Wynard of the 'old boys" When it
was found that medical assistance was
needed. Carrigan was removed to the
college inf1rmary, where he was attended
by the house physician.
Coming at such an early date, the acct
dent is one that has caused much anxiety
at the school. as Carrigan was looked
upon as a likely candidate for end on
the varsity eleven For two years he has
held down that position on the st. Vim

Los Angeles. Cal. where his phenomenal
work brought forth much favorable COM

at the infirmary late last night were an

that he thought Carrigan would proba bly,
be able to report for practice before the
middle of the week.
Students at the hilltop school were
much elated yesterday when they dis
covered that d. Waldron, for four years
the fullback of the Greensburg High
School team, which won the interschOlas-
tic championship Of western Pennsylva-
MIA last fall, had registered as fresh
man in the college. Waldron also cap
tanned the Quaker state chamTs last sea-
son and while leader displayed so much
ability in punting and lne-bucking that
he was sought by number of the big
schools of the east.
He is built much like ex-Capt. butcher

ers still hoped that he would change his

crescent of the back field entirely empty
of veterans. as the old fullbacks, Maher
and Fitzgerald, have both been gradual
ed. Repeated retirements have now
brought the veterans down to very
small number. and hence it will be I'D to
Coach Newman to again instill his tao
tics into new men. The incoming ma

are for winning aggregation being
turned out ON the heights.
