BLUE AND GRAY BOYS
IN FAST SCR|MMAGES
Three EIevens Out and Fourth
Expected by End
of Week.

After an hour and half of stiff pre-
liminary work the Georgetown University
foot ball candidates were put through
about ten minutes Of scrimmaging late
yesterday afternoon. Two teams were
picked by Coach Nelson. one composed
mostly Of veto ans and the other of new
men, and these worked in the center of
the field without scoring for some time,
much to the enjoyment of the many stu
dents present.
Taking possession Of the ball in the
middle of the gridiron the new men sue
ceeded in making a couple of substantial
gains over the veterans, being finally
compelled to punt. The veterans were
unable to make any Roadway and also
had to punt, the pigskin being fumbled
by the new men and regained by Stohl-
man of the veterans about ten yards past
the middle Of the field. Here both teams
exchanged the ball a couple of times be-
fore Coach Nelson finally sent the play
ers to the locker room.
The scrimmage brought out more plain
ly than ever the fact that the team is
bound to have a great deal of class. Both
lines were composed of heavy men, while
there were fully three sets of capable
backs In all there were three teams on
the field all during the afternoon and
with the increase in candidates keeping
up as 1t has been there should be fully
four elevens out before the end of the
present week.
Although the scrimmage made some of
the men a little bit sore none was hurt
| very seriously. Lamberton. the Oil City
man who Is trying for fullback, received
| rather stiff blow on the head in one of
the PUSHES. but this did no material dam
age beyond causing him to be little
daZed.
In the line plunging and end circling
Lamberton as we'll as Fury and Kraft
showed up very we'll. Sitterding was used
| at quarter on one eleven, while Kelly had
this position on the other. Both of these
men ran the team we'll and showed lots of
pep keeping those under them hustlins
all the time.
| With Cunnif at center, Capt Daley and
Fitzgerald at guards and Feenan and Stohl.
man at tackles, the veterans had a very
strong line and the fact that the new men
| succeeded in making so many gains speaks
well for the ability of the f1rst-year can
dfdates. The shifting of Feenan from cen
ter to tackle has resulted in the CORE
| spending change Of Hegarty from tackle
| to end, thus leaving Sitterding for quar-.
| ter.
Among the candidates to report for the
hrst time Yesterday were Wymard.. last
season, s star tackle: Joliet, one of the
sub backs, and kerwin ex-captain Of the
props. These are three good men, two of
them being very husky. and there is nc
doubt that their presence considerably
strengthened the squad. Carrigan and
Barriscello. two other veterans, are ex-
pected to arrive any day
The props were also at work on the var
sity held yesterday, the embryos having
two teams in suits. Coach Nelson is TAX
ing great interest in these youngsters
and intends giving them all the time pos
sible from now on. In this way he not
only expects to get from them a good
prep eleven, but is also looking toward
having some Of them for the varsity of
the future. That they can be of great
benefit in this respect is patent from the
TACT that many of the best men on this
! seasons squad got their first trainins
while in the prep ranks.
