HUSKY ATHLETES
FOR BLUE AND GRAY
Foot Ball Practice Starts
With Plenty of New and
Good Material.

With school opening with one of the
largest enrollments in the history Of the
institution and with the athletic affairs
in the hands Of an entirely new admin
istration, the students of Georgetown are
more sangune than ever that this year
will be a banner one for the Blue and
Gray in intercollegiate competition. AS
early as last Monday. when the van
guard Of "old boys returned to the
heights, work was begun on moldlng the
plans for the years campaign. with the
result that before Thursday. the date Of
the formal opening of classes, both the
athletic fields, the running track, the ten
mis- courts and the gymnasium were ready
for use.
With these preliminary arrangements
completed, the different managers and
their assistants. under the direction Of
Father Emmett, the new faculty director,
started scouting around for the new ma
terial among the freshmen. in order that
no one would be missed when the call for
practice was issued. The responses to
inquiries in this direction have shown be-
yond a doubt that there will be plenty Of
on the different teams made vacant by
the graduation of old stars, and these. to-
gether with the veterans still available.
will make impossible dearth of material
for the representative teams of the his
toric old school.
President Carlin, Secretary Mccain and
Treasurer Carr Of the general associa-
ton are expected In the city today and
Immediately upon their arrival steps will
be taken toward the annual reorganiza-
ton Of the executive committee. This.
however, will only be a formality, and
will in no wise affect the preliminary
work that has been going on the past
week.
Foot Ball Starts Tomorrow.
The enforced absence of both Manager
Murray and Capt. Lowney OF the foot
ball team has caused a delay in the first
call for practice, but it is generally I'M
derstood among the students that grid
iron work will be inaugurated tomorrow
afternoon. Whether or not Coach Bill
Newman will report before then is mat
ter Of conjecture. which cannot be def
nitely settled until the arrival Of either
himself or Manager Murray.
Not little CONSERVATION was caused
among the old students last week by the
rumor that Capt. Lowney, the doughty
little end Of last fall. would not return
to school. The authenticity of the report
is doubted. however, and it will indeed
be a surprise If the ex-Niagara leader
does not make an early appearance
Should he not return it will be bitter
disappointment for his friends, as much
depends on him for the success Of the
elevens
The old players who have already re-
ported number ten, more than have re-
ported for three years past. Tommy
Stuart, the quarterback of the past two
seasons, will again be out for his old
job, while Pallen and McNulty, both well
able for the halves. 1t will be necessary
to pick fullback from among the new
candidates, but this is not expected to be
a difficult job, as there are a number Of
high school stars trying for that position.
With Lowney and eX-Capt. Miller on
hand for the ends, Wymard for a tackle,
and Cunniff and Daley for the guards,
nucleus for heavy and experienced line
is assured. Besides these CO. men. Nc
Farlane, Vlymen, Carter, Parsons, Nc
Namara and Flavin Of the reserves have
also put in their appearance.
Among the new ones there are three big
huskies who have done great high school
work and whose regulations are A

lions comes. but Notwithstanding this
fact that many friends of the lads in
question express quiet confidence that
they will be able to deliver the goods
when called upon. One of them, Wal
where for four years he has enjoyed the
Of q throne among the stars.
The other two, Langan of Waterville
High and Finan of Goshen High, are
much backed by their admirers.
Many Stars Expected
At this time it is impossible to predict
what the opening Of the law and medical
schools will bring forth. Every year each
Of these departments is well represented
when the final picking is made. and this
year will probably be no exception to the
rule. There seems to be a strong proba-
bility that among the matriculates Of the
law school there will be two or three who
have done service to good advantage at
other colleges. The most prominently
mentioned 6f these are Triggs and Dris-
coll of Holy Cross. Mahoney of Dart
mouth, Harrison Of Niagara and STAN
nard Of Princeton.
Late word received from Billy Sitter
ding, last years diminuttve quarter
back, also intimates that he will be
found on the rolls of the school, al
though 1t is not just known In what
department he may register. AS will
be remembered, the Richmond lad show
ed a great deal Of class as a genera!
last fall, and it is believed that he will
run Stuart a close race for the regular
position.
Grew Will Be Boosted.
OF the managers of the other de-
partments. the busiest just at present
is Billy Burns, who will strive before
June, 1910, to put the boat club on a
solid financial basis. SO that aauatics
will again become one Of the most i'm
oP Coor0efoWn afh1ofio
tivities. It Is the intention Of Manager
Burns to Immediately set about organ
izing the alumni. So that financial aid
from this quarter may be made at
times when needed. A sustaining So
ciety on this order would always in
sure assistance when needed and would
do away with the uncertainty which
has caused the interest in aquatics to
wane at different times In the past five
years.
