OU|RK STARTS WORK
WITH H|L[TOPPERS
Finds Many Players in Bad
Way, and Orders Fury to
Take Needed Rest.

That d capable trainer to attend to the
direct wants of the athletes was greatly
needed at Georgetown was made plain
Yesterday, when Joe Quirk of the Wash
lnSton base ball team took up his duties
in this capacity at the Hilltop field. Not
only was he kept busy the whole after
noon working on the players, many of
whom had bruises of more serious ma
ture than was thought, but he also made
request that Jim Fury. the star half
! back. be excused from practice today
and tomorrow in order to rest up.
! Fury, according TO Quirk. is overtrained,
and hence needs a respite from practice
until he RECEIVERS some of the vitality
lost by his conscientious conditioning tao
tics He is considerably under weight
at present. and at the same time his
color is not the healthy reddish hue
/ which characterized his complexion when
! he played such a wonderful game against
| w aShIngton and Lee week ago Satur
day He will certainly be used at his
regular place against North Carolina the
coming Saturday, although he may again
be given q rest next week.
With the other men the main trouble is
getting them free from dsa greea BILE
bruises which. though not serious. are
very troublesome, and are big handicaps
TO perfect work. Quirk. assisted by
| the two old Georgetown rubbers, work ed
hard over all of these until late last even
ing, ami from the reports rendered by the
poyS I"jpeu tfenl COilSiderd DiN.
| The order of practice Yesterday was
! offensive scrlmmaging by the varsity. The
scrubs only had the ball for the first
three minutes of the practice battle but
during this time they made a touchdown
against the big eleven. Afterward the
varsity retaliated by scoring three times.
| The work was furious on both sides, and
as result many of the scrubs showed
up to advantage. The form some OF
them have displayed this Sea~pn has been
/ very ETdflfEing there x
assurance that there will be plenty OF
material to fill the holes III the regula r
! lineup left vacant another fall by gradu-
ations.
/ Today the varsity will be almost con
tinually the defensive. The second
team will be especially drilled in various
! formations to which the regulars are
unused in order to keep them alert for
new plays The regular defensive line
UP will again be utilized ard should it
prove as strong as it did against PITT
Saturday will be made the means of
stopping the Tarheels
| II is now certain that Walsh will start
the Carolina game at quarterback, with
Nlymen taking his place at full. Sitter
ding will be shifted to one of the ends.
where lie played last season with great
luck and credit to himself. There are
a number of advantages To- be derive
! from such shift. the most prominent
/ OF which Is the making possible of using
| Walsh to carry the ball more. The full
i odck posi'loh tIllS season is rather
! tiresome one in that respect, and, as
Walsh is ore of the best ground-gain-
ers the West End team. it should
| be Of great value 10 the scoring depart
ment of the gridiron machine to have
him in place where he may attempt
! TO circle the ends with the pigSkin under
his arm.
/ That a large crowd may be at the
game Saturday great efforts and prepa-
ralions are being made by the George
O iS tn .
every body possible out for the cheering
/ section. in order to give them plenty OF
opportunity for organizing for the Nir-
ginia game. With this object in view
invitations have been sent to all the local
| alumni and friends of the university
while a monster mass meeting has been
planned for Friday night to get the stu
dents in line Reserved seat tickets are
now on sale at local sporting goods
stores.
