Coach Nelson worked the Georgetown
football squad for more than an hour
yesterday in the hardest kind of scrim-
images. This was the hardest work
out the men have had. and when Coach
Nelson said enough, they welcomed the
call.
Cunniff. the crack center Of last years
team. was out and played center on the
scrubs, Johnny Greer. the local boy, be
ing used on the first team in the pivot
point.
skip" wymard was out, but not in
uniform, and it is almost certain that
he will not play this year. Coach Neil
son was greatly pleased with the work
Of Tad Donnelly, the Worcester High
boy. who has been playing end and back
on the scrubs. and it is more than likely
that he will be given a chance on the
first team before long.
There were sixteen candidates for the
Business High School team out yester-
day at the R. r. Y. NJ. C. A. grounds,
and from the material on hand II does
not seem possible that Business will
have anywhere near a heavy eleven.
Among the new men was Harris, a
brother of the Eastern baseball cap
tain. and, although rather light, he
willingness and gameness. There is still
hope for the Stenographers il they will
only pull together and work hard.
Central. as usual. had a big squad out
yesterday. Coach Thomas put the boys
through some hard scrimmages and the
lads worked great. It is hard to see
anything else but Central in football this
year. Their back field will be hard to
stop.
The Tech squad worked out yesterday
in preparation for the game with the
Maryland Aggies at College Park to-day
This will be nothing more than a practice
game. but the scholastic lads will fight
to win their first game of the season, and
Coach Donnelly, Of the Farmers. will use
all the men he has so as to get true
line on them.
Shipley. who played quarter last year,
will play one of the backs, while Parker,
the former Eastern High Star, will run
the team.
Over at Western they are not saying
much, but they are working hard, and
II Curley Byrd does not have a good
teaHI,< then there is nothing in the school
at all. Reports say that there are several
hCdNy yOuuBSbeIS across Ine creek, ana
Coach Byrd viii teach them as much foot
ball as any team in the District. The
other schools had better watch the Red
and White, as they may do the same
thing they did in baseball, all but win
the penuant and then be beat out of
the title but by rules, and not by play
ing ability. for II Howard had been in
the last game different story would
have been told.
Coach Shea is putting the Eastern squad
through a stiff course OF training, and BY
the time the first game rolls around, the
Light Blue and White eleven win be the
same fast tribe that they were last year,
and that means trouble for some one.
The Technical High School football
squad will play a practice game with the
Maryland Agricultural College to-day. at
$3.50, at College Park. The Tech team win
in all probability lfhe up as follows:
Eckendorf. center; Knight, left guard:
White, left tackle; Mckinney, left end;
Lewis. right guard; Heine, right tackle;
Grow. right end; Steed, quarter back;
Peake, right half back; Davis, left half
back; Frazier, fun back.
