A much more formidable team repro,
sented Georgetown yesterday against
William and Mary than the one which
faced the Seaman Gunners one week ago
One weeks practice has served to bring
out many good points in the eleven
work, and from now on the Blue and
Gray will be able to put up a better fight
The Hilltoppers' line held good and
the backs went around the ends better
than in the game with the Seaman Gun.
ners. Taken all in all, there is about
only one fault that could he found with
the work of the team, that of starting
so slow. The backs were slow getting
start, but when the did go they usually
gained good distances.
Central High School would just about
weigh even with the William and Mary
eleven, and il was plain to be seen that
after the first half the Hilltoppers were
not trying to run up the score. Three
different teams were used, with the ex-
Ception of center. and only two men were
worked in the pivot position. Magner
who played left half displayed the speed
that made him one of the most promis-
ing of the new men, and unless some
thing unforeseen happens Maener will
play the position against Virginia.
Fury again made some long gains, both
through the line and around the ends.
His broken field running was great, time
and again going down the field for 30
and forty-yards. Billy Sitterding ran
the team fast. and on the whole the
showing of the Hilltoppers yesterday was
81 atifying to the coaches.
Assistant Coach Gargan had charge of
the Georgetown team yesterday. Coach
Nelson being away on business. Dur
ing the second half every man out for
the team was put in the game and still
William and Mary was unable to hold
the Hilltoppers.
Business showed-up mighty good
against Cathedral School yesterday, the
work Of Flax. Boe, Derrick. and Molineu
standing out very prominently. Der
rick tore through the Episcopal line at
Will, while little Flax was a demon
on the defense.
The work of the entire Business team
was good. but as they are so light. they
hardly figure in the scholastic series.
Coach Green's Cathedral School team
was Handicapped by lack of practice, but
at that they outweighed the high school
and they never had a show with the
Stenographers. Had Wood not been pen
allied for holding twice, the score would
have been much larger.
Business will depend upon speed, and
under weather conditions such as prevail
ed yesterday, that was out of the ques-
ton, and still The Orange and Blue eleven
managed to fool their heavier opponents
several times.
The showing Of the Central High
School team against the Maryland Aggies
Friday was not the best, notwithstanding
the many stories circulated that the
Central eleven would make clean
sweep of the scholastic series.
Playing against the Aggies, who bid
fair to win the intercollegiate champion
ship of Maryland this season. the o
streeters did not look as formidable as
was predicted, and II will take more
football than the Blue and White eleven
showed in that game to win them the
scholastic championship of the District.
Reuter-, playing left half. displayed the
speed and ability to carry the ball In q
broken field that made him one Of the
Central mainstays last year.
Capt. Hamilton. at full back, did not
show the form he will later, owing to
the work he has been compelled to do in
with his duties as captain OF
the Blue and White eleven.
The other positions ton the team will
have to be strengthened IL Central hopes
to cope with Tech and Western In the
scholastic series. Dyson, who has been
putting up a great game In right half.
will make a name for himself this sea-
son, and will prove to be tower Of
strength on the defense as well as good
man to carry the ball.
In the line, Coach Thomas VIII have
to develop men for the entire ieft SIDE
with the exception Of Dyson.
Western will fool them all. Coach
Byrd has the rnak!ngs Of great team
and he is just the man to bring them to
light McArdle Is doing wonders In the
back field, as Is Krentzlein. the Red
and White leader. Krentzlein is playing
fun back. a new position TO him. but It
Is safe to say that he win prove TO be
one OF the stars Of the scholastic series.
