Georgetown Stars

day-Other Football Gossip.
By c. w. SWAN.

The Georgetown football squad has
finished its second week of practice. and
Coach Nelson is confident that, with the
material on hand, he will be able to
have a Blue and Gray team on the field
just as formidable as the great eleven
of last year.
BY Tuesday all the veterans, with the
exception of Bill Fitzgerald, will be back
on the job at the Hilltop, for Cunnif will
be out by then, and Bill Carrigan. sub
stitute half back last year, and Tackle
Wymard will return to college Tuesday,
The veterans are showing up finely,
most of them being in first-class condi-
tion. Hegarty, Fury, Barricello. and
White loom up formidably.
Many new men reported to Coach Mel
son, and he is pleased with the mate
rial. OF the newcomers, Magner. who
left for his home in st. Louis the lat
ter part of the week, owing to the ILL
ness of his father, looks great. 1t is
rather doubtful as to his returning to
college in time to get into any of the
practice games, should his father remain
i'll very long.
CampaZZi the track man, is at present
working in COstello's position at quarter
back. and is making big impression
on Coach Nelson. Fast and heady
Campazzi will make a good running mate
for Nine point" Harry.
OF the other mem Williams, Stohlman,
Rathbone, Greer, and DOnnelIy, look
good, and a fast string of substitutes
are sure to be on hand for the first
team.
Assistant Coach Gargan, the Fordham
star, is doing wonders with the second
team, and promises the regulars plenty
of real practice when the hard work
starts.
Dave White is faster than ever and it
is his speed that will be counted upon
more than anything else to break down
the Virginia line when the rivals clash
on November IS.
The practice at Georgetown yesterday
consisted of signal drill, followed byl
twenty minutes of hard scrimmage work
The varsity crossed the second teams
line three times. Dave White making
two of the touchdowns and Jimmy |
Dunn making the other. The varsity |
showed great Improvement in offensive |
work, time and again hitting the scrubs |
line for big gains.
Coach Nelson is confident of havingl
his team ready for the first game, which |
is scheduled for next Saturday with the
Seamen Gunners on the Hilltop. While |
this will be nothing but a practice game
Coach Nelson will work the team hard
and will more than likely put every man
into the game, for a little while at least
Manager Walsh is trying to arrange

Wednesday, October 4, but up to a late
hour last night no word had been re-
ceived from the Aggies' manager.
School spirit seems to be sadly lacking
at Business High. Only a handful Of
candidates have reported to the coach
to date, and there is plenty of good ma
terial in the school which has not come
out for the team. The Stenographers
will not be able to cope with the other
schools unless the boys come out for
the eleven, as with the material on hand
at present a winning team is an i'm
possibility.
Yesterday morning the squad worked
out on the r. R Y. NJ c. A diamond |
and tomorrow the candidates, it is
hoped, will be increased by the addition
OF several good men who have promised
TO come out.
There is no reason why the Business
team cannot be a good one, for there is
a wealth Of material at the Orange and
BIue school, but they do not come out
for the team. Beef is what is needed.
and unless some of the big fellows come
out the other men might just as well
try to play Georgetown.
1t seems that several high school foot
hall coaches are not aware of the fact
that the high school board of athletic ad-
Visers passed rule last spring which
does not allow a man who enters school
in the fall to play on the football team.
The rule states that a student must be
enrolled four months before he is eIigi-
BILE to play on any athletic team. This4
not only applies to other high schools in
the District, but to outside schools as

1t is understood that there are several
men over at Eastern that attended other
schools last Year, and that Western has
one also. Up at Business there are at
least three who will not he eligible for
the team on account of this rule. {
The Western team promises TO be the
dark horse in football. the same as in {
baseball. Last spring very little was
heard from the Red and White team. T
but in the scholastic series they all but
won the championship. The same thing {
may apply to football. Coach Curley
Byrd is sure TO have a fast team, and
one that knows every trick of the game. +
