Georgetown will leave no stone I'M
turned in order to make the best show
ing possible against the Army. 1t has
been arranged by the management &c
have the men leave here Friday morning,
arriving in New York early in the after
noon. The matter has been taken up
with the authorities at Fordham Uni
versity and the eleven will practice on
Fordham Field.
1t is thought If the men are taken to
Fordham to work out they will be in
better condition than if they were kept
here and practiced in the morning and
went to New York at night While the
work that will be done at Fordham will
be extremely light. it is probable that il
will aid the men in keeping on edge
for what is sure to prove next to the
hardest game of the year.
In Morris and Eckendorf Technical High
has two OF the best scholastic foot ball
players that have ever been developed
in the local high schools. 1t is certain
that for the last four five years there
has been no man who has been much the
superior of either of the two men. Nor
ris. without much training and without
having played in regular game this
year, stepped in yesterday and undoubt-
BY the excellence of his individual work.
On the defense and offense Morris got
in every play and worked as II he We're
in the game to win. 1t was not only
when he was carrying the ball that he
was in the play, but, unlike the major
ity of high school backs. he was willing
to run a good Interference and help his
mates to cover some ground. Eckendorf
is also a good man. both to carry the
ball and run interference. Eckendorf
lacks N "a inst Morris. but
has not Morris ability to dodge would
be tacklers. Coupled with this may be
mentioned the fact that he is also one of
the bulwarks of the Tech defense.
These two men are the mainstayS of
the Tech eleven, and without them the
Manual Trainers would be only medic
ere combination.
To the strongest eleven went yester-
days victory. There is no question that
Tech was the better aggregation. 1t did
not show any greater knowledge of foot
bali than did Western. but in the indi-
vidual performances of two of its backs
il oyershadowed the Red and White by
far.
The work of Morris and Eckendorf
overbaanced any little advantage that
might have been Westerns along otner
lines Had II not been for the fact.

One OF the factors which worked great
