Two Backhed Stars Interest All Georgetown Sporting
World-Dunn Fast Regaining Health, and Fury
Plays Strenuously With Scrubs.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Dunn and Fury, these are the two men
at Georgetown who are attra0lng most
attention right now. Neither is lining
up with the varsity. but both intend to
bc In the game against Virginia.
Much was expected of Dunn when the
season opened. It was thought that his
peculiar style of running-holding him
self high and throwing Off tacklers by
main strength--would prove Of inesti-
nrable value to the Blue and Gray. When
he reported. however. he was not In
condition to get into the game. He has
followed the work of the eleven. watch
ink how everything was done. and
should be playing before the week is
out. .a
Dunn has not been in the best Of
health since climbing into his togs. A
rick man can't play good football. Coach
Nielsen. knowing his worth as half
back, has been patient and his patience
ts about to be rewarded. Dunn is almost
ready to get into the scrimmage. giving
the varsity a heavy. hard-running. hard
tickling halfback. ..

Little Fury's running in broken fields
earned him q place on the All-South At
lantic eleven of last season. His tack
ling, too, on defense was beautiful 1t
was deemed certain that he would make
this years varsity. However. he has
found the going difficult. The backfeld
material on the Hilltop ranks well with
evsry squad in this section. The Indian
game showed the necessity Of heavier
lbacks. and since then Fury has been
displaced by CamDaZzi.
In Yesterdays scrimmage between the
varsity and the scrubs, Fury played his
oid-time game against the hrst eleven.
His tackling was hard and low, no
matter how fast the opposition was
coming into him. He threw all the
backs with apparent ease, and when tho
practice was over, Coach Nielsen saw

weight. On plays straight through the

though, he is in his glory. His peculiar

Costello did the punting and got away

pSaise of the coaches on numerous occa-
