workout ON Hilltop Yesterday Fast
and FuriOus-ScrubS Beat Varsity,
Three TouchdOWns TO One.

At no time this year has such a hard
afternoons work of practice taken place
as that which was handed out TO the
Georgetown squad yesterday afternoon
for an hour and three-quarters. and al
though the varsity had an of day and
were beaten by the scrubs. three touch
downs to one, still Head Coach Nielsen
and his assistants were gratided with
the evenings work. One favorable as
pect was the large number Of men out,
this being especially the case with re-
gard to the second squad, under the d.
rectIon of Coach Cox. Ever since the
Pittsburg game there has been a steady
falling off in daily reporting for practice
until things began 10 take on a serious
aspect. Wednesday there being barely
two elevens on the field. What the cause
of this lack of spirit was is not known.
but the coaches got busy, and, as result,
three strong elevens Were on hand yes
terday afternoon. and the hardest foot
ball OF the season took place.
The second eleven was much strength
ened by the presence Of two men Of the
varsity squad, Kerwin, in the line, and
Carrigan in the back field. The former
was a tower OF strength on the defense,
and more than once broke through the
varsity line and upset the runner before
he got started. Carrigan, on tho other
hand. tore things up on the offense, skirt
ing the varsity ends, getting through the
line. and making two OF the tOuchdOWns
for the scrubs The other points came
for the second eleven when Mcnamara
fell on the ball back of his opponents
goal. after Heiskell had blocked one OF
Walsh's kicks by breaking through the
line.
Dunn Scores for Varsity.
The varsity score came when Dunn
by consistent work. put the ball over
after it had been rushed the distance of
the field. At present Dunn is playing
more consistently than any OF the back
field men, his running mate. Furey. not
showing up so we'll Quinlan was given
a berth on the squad yesterday, and
although II was his first day, he showed
up well, and when he masters the signals

Another man who from this on will be
a regular is Kelly, who has won his
position by the hardest kind Of PLAYING
Al full back he has been regularly going
through the varsity line, and no one on
the varsity hits the line harder. Yester-
day he played remarkable game for
the scrubs, and his breaking up Of inter-
ference was the best seen on the hilltop
grldiron this year Although rather light
for this position. he hits the line low
and hard. and it would not be. at all sur

choice for full.
Lamberton. who has been out OF the
game for some time, was used against
the scrubs. making several good gains
