The Georgetown football squad showed
more pep" and ginger yesterday than
at any time this season. The varsity went
through the scrubs at WILL and showed
their true worth. II these conditions
keep up, there will be no more worry
about the Blue and Gray eleven.
Magner, the youngster who made such
a great showing in the early practice,
was placed in left half again and showed
up to good advantage. In going through
the line and end runs he should make
good running mate to Fury. Dave White
again plowed UP the scrub line.
Carrigan was out in uniform yesterday
but did not get into the scrimmage. The
team, as a whole, displayed more knowl-
edge of the game and worked harder
yesterday than ever before. McCaffery.
the former Eastern High star, played
right end on the second team and showed
up well.
"Cuppy'' Farmer, the former star quar-
ter back OF Tech High, will enter the
University Of Pittsburg. Farmer is one
OF the greatest field generals ever turned
out of the local high schools, and should
prove to be a good man for the Pirate
eleven.
1t was rumored last night that Parker,
the crack quarter back Of the Eastern
High team last year, and who has been
running the Maryland Aggies this sea-
son. has quit the Farmers and will enter
Catholic University. Parker played a
great game in Richmond against the
Richmond College team, and IL was due
to his fast work that the Farmers held
the Richmond eleven to a tie score.
The loss of Parker will hurt the Farm
ers more than 1t looks on the surface,
as he has been running the team, and
no other quarter back has been devel-
oped.
When Central meets the Maryland Ag-
gies this afternoon at College Park Coach
Thomas will use every man who is out
for the team. and the regulars will more
than likely be picked on the showing
made in 10 days battle. While the Cen
trail eleven IS conceded to be a little
stronger than Tech, and the Blacksmiths
held the Aggies to six points, there is
every reason to believe that the Farmers
will defeat the High School lads by a
larger score. The Farmers have had a
great deal of practice since then, and
have played the Richmond College eleven
a tie game.
This will give NJ. A. c. the advantage
over the scholastic eleven, and they
should beat them about 12 to O. But Cen
trails back field is a corker and may
prove to be too fast for the Farmers
ends, and in this way upset the dope.
Over at Eastern the team Is rounding
into good shape, and when the first ad-
visory marks aresout a better team than
the one now playing will be on the field

light. but will make up for that in speed.
for, with Capt. Weaver in full, Whitman
and Smith playing the halves, and young
CohiIl running the team, the boys from
Capitol Hill VIII give them all a run for
the money.
Flax, the youngster who is out for one
game in practice yesterday. Flax is light
but game to the core.
The first regular game of the season at
Kendall Green will be played tomorrow,
when the Gallaudet eleven meets the Bal
timore City College team. When you look
at the showing made by the Bufc and
Blue eleven against Tech they should
land the big end of the score.
Capt. Battiste Is working hard with
Coach Byrd to perfect some fast trick
plays. and they will be used for the first
time tomorrow.
While the showing made by Western
against the Georgetown Props was not
Of the best, It proved that there IL mate
rial at the Red and White school for a
good eleven, and Coach Byrd will just
about bring 1t to light.
Unger, playing right guard on the
Eastern eleven, is putting up a good
game. and Coach Shea is greatly pleased
with his work. This youngster is new to
the game. but has all the earmarks OF
a conner. Another lad over at Eastern
who is showing up well is Manning, who
Is holding down right end. Manning Is
fast and a sure tackler.
Yesterday the Eastern team was minus
the services Of Capt. Weaver, owing to
his having to take an examination, but
Coach Shea had the boys run through
