DR.. p. E. Larkin, for several years
physician Of this city, and once halfbacH
on the Georgetown football team, is oul
with an indignant denial of an insinua'
ton published yesterday that he was
acting as scout for the Carlisle Indians
for their game on the Heights next Sat-
urday.
While admitting he followed the
Georgetown eleven closely in the con-
test against William and Mary he de-
ciares it was merely because Of his in
terest in football in general and the
Georgetown squad In particular that
caused him to go to Georgetown field.
He points. out the fact that since gradu-
ating he has assisted in the coaching
of several Georgetown Seams and de-
clares the idea of sending cut any in
formation about plays has never entered
his mind.
He says he has not yet been able to
learn what inspired the article, but
thatsh intends to investigate.

a little sensation, as DIR. Lark1n mas

letics in the university and has many
friends among the faculty and alumni
of the institution.

, GEORGETOWN yesterday was the an
pouncement of Coach Nielsen that
there may be some startling changes
in the lineup before the Indian game.

herring strictly to the training rules,

be true he may drop several OF the most
prominent aspirants.

coach indirectly, and he Will not dl-
vulge the names Of the suspected atm
letes-

town today and another tomorrow, ana
