, proposition than either Of the other two
schools when it comes to deciding the
games that mean the championship
1t certainly seems that Hegarty of
| Georgetown should have been given job
| on the all-South Atlantic team last sea-
| son. Many critics made the remark that
| Heearty was one of the best ends in
| the country, and could have made the po-
| sition on any team in the country last
season. Why he was not good enough
| for a place on the mentioned eleven is
not clearly seen. Men who have played
| on some of the greatest foot ball teams
ever turned out made the statement that
Hegarty was in class by himself as
far as foot ball in this section was con-
cerned. Even the players on the oppos
ing elevenS conceded him to he the best
man they had ever been up against.
That Hegarty Is better end than any
other man playing the position in this
section is to be more fully realized after
he is seen in action. AS defensive
man he is perfection, as far as the
teams in the south are concerned, while
1t was mighty seldom last season that
a punt was made that he was not the
first man down under it, and it was not
often that he failed to drop his man. 1t
| is doubtful If there is another man in
tile south who can outclaSs him in d
single department of an ends play. Last
year IN the Virginia game Hegarty called
to the Virginia quarterback to run plays
around his end, but the Orange and Blue
director of plays must have been in
structed to keep away from him, as not
once did he try to gain around the
Georgetown man. Out at Pittsburgh, the
powerful eleven representing that school
tried time and again to get around him,
but had to give it up.
Hegarty seems 10 be good enough to de-
serve job on the all-South Atlantic
eleven.
When the Carlisle Indians come here
they are apt to strike line that is al
most the equal of their own. OF course
the Georgetown forwards will not have
the training that the Indians have had
| as they have been at work three weeks
| longer than has Georgetown, but with
/ Hart Bryant Wymard, Barriscello and
| Hearty euardin the outskirts 1t is not
/ likely that the powerful off-tackle play
/ which has always characterized the of
/ fenslve tactics of the Indians will be as
/ effective as 1t has been against the other
| teams they have met in this section.
Then 1t Is likely, as the Indians have
| depended in the main on that style of
/ play for the ma jority of their gains, all
| Of which Is well known to Coach Nielsen
i that defense will be built especially
TO meet that style of attack, and this
would render it all the less dangerous
IT looks as though Georgetown will
make a better showing against the In
dams than has either of the other elev-
ems they have met in this section in the
4 past few years.
There is no denying that Carlisle is
/ going to have the best team in years
! this season, and If the Hill Toppers hold
/, It to close score they will have done
Just as much as could be expected of
| them, and more.
If the Business High coach this year
| succeeds in winning a single game
! he will have done more than any
other man at that school has done. 1t
/ seems incredible. but the statement was
| made a few days ago by a graduate
OF the school that since the Stenograph-
ers have been represented on the srdiron
| they have failed to win d single game
| IN the high school series.
Practice will begin in earnest tomor-
row in those schools which had their
squads out last week. Although the first
work, it is likely that the players will
be sent in to fall on the ball and take
part in about every phase OF elemental
foot ball. with the exception of tackling,
as two or three days Is not enough time
to harden a man for that kind of work.
Those other squads which are late get
ting out will be just as much behind
those that got out last week as 1t will
take them to get hardened up a little
and get their wind. OF course the high
schools will profit little more by the
time allowed for extra practice as they
have to be drilled more in the first prime
lpieS OF the game tnan DO the college
players.
| IT Brick is able to play this year he
will add a great deal of strength to the
lGallaudet team. The Buff and Blue full
back is at the same time good line
plunger and fast enough to do some end
running. He is also, a good defensive
man. With the proper care 1t would
seem that his knee ought to hold during
the season.
Kraentzlin and McArdle are the only
two men who are left at Western who
have played any foot ball at all. Smith
had a little experience on last year S
eleven, but, as 1t only lasted few
weeks. it probably did not amount to
much.
With Hamilton, Van Dyhe and Reuter-
in the back field it would seem that Cen
trail should be able to carry things about
as ii pleases in the high school series.
All three men are good enough to add
strength to many of the smaller college
teams. and two of the trio were offered
scholarships to enter different schools
this year.
