TO HAVE GOOD TEAM
First Weeks Practice at
Georgetown Is Gratifying.
HARD PRACTICE YESTERDAY
Coach Nielsen Will Work Men
Strenuously From Now On.
Hart Doing Well.

Although two or three veterans of last
years championship eleven have not yer
returned the first ten days of practlce
at GEORGETOWN have shown that the pros
poets for a winning foot ball team TO
represent the university are even better
than last fall, when the material was
good enough to take the premiership OF
the south. The squad at present looks
much better now than it did this time
last season, and when all the old men
return and get out for practice
Thought that the best looking aggregation
will be on Georgetown Field Trying ioi
positions on the regular string than mas
been seen on the hilltop in recent years
And Georgetown is going to need all the
material it has and more, II any'hihs
When the Blue and Gray tackles CaIn ...
