GEORGETOWN KNEW PLAYS,
SAYS TARHEELS' COACH
Brides Declares Cardinals 0ffenSe Was Joke, as Hill
tOpperS Were Well Prepared Other Gossip

Georgetown knew every Ilaf iid-
SATURDAY. and were 80 well coached to
meet them that our oneuse was a joke.
This startling declaration was made by
Arthur Brides. former Yale tackle and
AU-America star. the coach Of North
Carolina Uniyersity's football eleven.
which was beaten by Georgetown satur-
day. l. 20 O.
Il arm not squeaIine for a minute; we
were licked fair and square, and there Is
no kick coming. but ia give a whole lot
20 know how Georgetown got hold of our
plays. several Of which we have not tried
I'm competition this season. Brides added
Tile fact that the Hultoppers were able
20 present a defense for Cardinals plays
reflects no discredlt on Coach Fred Neil
son or anybody connected with football at
the West End institution. IL rather
shows that Georgetown has a coach pos
sesslng brains enough TO teach his men
how % stop the TaTheeIs' tricks.
Every big eleven I'm the country sends
It's scouts out % watch rival teams IN
action. So that when the time comes
they may be iu "a measure prepared. This
is perfectly legitimate and IS res0rted 10
freely. For instance. Virginia had Coach
Crawford and DIT. Lambeth on George
town field Saturday, and You can bet
that every member of the Hilltop eleven
has been sized up by these capable
Judges. one week before the Pirtsburg
game two scouts from the Smoky City
were present AZ the Georgetown Wash
ington and Lee game, and everybody con-
nected with football at the West End
rr- 80 E..u. d..
Just what they were there Tor.
Coach Nelson has not been asleep. Ca
pable judges representing the Hilltop
have been on hand at every game North
Carolina has played this season, and
these scouts have reported To Coach
Nelson all they saw. It's all in the game,
and as fair for one side as il is for the
other
When Georgetown plays Virginia Sat
urday week the Blue and Gray rooters
viii see a whole lot of trick plays and
formations which have been kept under
cover and planned especially for the
SouthernCrs. as up-tO-date Georgetown
has not shown its fun hand in any game.
At last the coaching Of Maggie"
Magofn has shown its effects, for George
Washington won from Richmond College,
q 20 Is. and the Hatchettes can no
longer be dubbed the scoreless wonders.
With Cuppy Farmer back in the game AT
quarter back and the fine showing eX-
pected Of Full Back Moore. there is every
reason to believe that Magoffin viii be
able TO round a tirst-class team into
shape for the big games ahead.
In local Sunday paper yesterday,
under the heading of High School
Notes." appeared an item criticising
Business High School for practlcing at
American League Park during the hours
Technical High utilities the field. The
author claims unspoTtsmanlike conduct,
stating that the Stenographers are IN
collision with Tech for the purpose of
downing Central.
Such statements in the newspapers do
more To create an unhealthy rivalry and
hurt high school sports than anything
else.
The facts Of the case are these; As soon
as the Tech Business game was over the
Stcnographers were invited to use the
ball park with Technical for daily prac-
tice, as "A return for a favor last winter
when Business permitted the Tech base

Business was glad Of the opportunity TO
practice on a frst-class gridiron.
All last week the SteIographeUs were
