Especial 10 The Times-Dispatch.l

Washington, D. c., September "a
With thirtytive men out in toys every
afternoon during the past week. and
iullY twice that number expected with
the opening OF the professional schools
on october l, the prospects for the
greatest football team in years is eX-
ceedingly bright at Georgetown. In
!act, there has never been in the his
tory OF the institution such a grea.
amount of good material TO pick an
eleven from, and 1T is safe to say that
there are very few universities in the
country which can boast OF so many
experienced candidates.
no less than fourteen OF last years
letter men are already on hand, while
a couple more are to report next week
The line will average in the neigh
borhood of 1870 pounds. and there viii
be two back fields. one very heavy
and the other light.
Prooabiy the greatest asset of the
team will be it's kicking resources.
Harry Costello, famous in the South
as the greatest drop kicker In that
territory, Is booting them over from
all points of the field with startling
accuracy. while Billy Sitterding. a
richmond lad. is fast getting into
shape to do the placement Kicking
nesiaes these there are three punters
available, each OF whom can average
petter than forty five yards.
First Hnrd scrimmage.
During the past week the practice
mas been increased daily. and on Fri
uay the teams were given good
twensy minutes of hard scrimmage. In
tnls practice skirmish the men show
ca themselves to be in excellent con-
ditlon for so early in the year, and
there is no doubt that by the time
shey line up for their first game next
saturday they will be fit to play full
periods without straining themselves
VI course full periods Will not be at
tempted. as 1t is yet too carly in the
season TO take such chances.
