Georgetown figures that it will win from
the Carlisle Indians next week Both
coaches and players seem sincere in their
belief that the Blue and Gray aggregation
will emerge from the contest with the
Carlisle team with the long end of the
score in its favor.
The showing made yesterday against the
North Carolina Agricultural and Mechan-
zeal College is in the main responsible
for the confident feeling. The fact that
Georgetown was able to win from the
North Carolina institution By such wide
margin appears to have raised the hopes
of sending the Indians back to Carlisle a
defeated eleven next week
Eddie Green, the former University of
Pennsylvania halfback, said after the
game that the Georgetown backfieid was
one of the best he had ever seen, and that
there was not the least doubt in the world
in his mind that it would stand an even
chance to win from the Indians. Green
said that the only weak spot in the back
field was the fact that it did not do as
we'll i'll the secondary defense as it might,
consequently T. would be an easy matter
TO get away forward passes against it
for long gains. Green said that if that
one fault were corrected, the Blue and
Gray eleven would be at least on even
terms with the Indians and that it would
be much above anything in this section.
He said he did not know of any team
around here which stood a single chance
to win from the Hilltoppers.

utes and the Blue and Gray backs had
not the least trouble in racing up and
down the fielI for long gains almost
without hndrance.
Georgetown outclassed the Raleigh team
from beginning TO end in every depart
ment of play. There was hardly a min
ute when the Blue and Gray did not have
the ascendency. its superiority being evil

The work of the whole Georgetown
backfield yesterday in gaining ground
before in the history of foot ball in the
south Atlantic section has a set of
ground-ganing backs the equal of those
playing for Georgetown been on the
same team. The men are at the same
time abe to run Well in the broken field
and are able to hit the line consistently
for creditable gains. Costello, Fury and
Murray are brilliant runners in the open
field and Dunn and White are able to
get anywhere from to 10 yards
through the lineup almost any time they
are given the ball. Dunn is also a per-
former in the open and White is a hard
man to down once he is clear of the line
of scrimmage for the reason that he is
an exceptionally powerful man.
The playing of Costello in the open
field was nothing short of remarkable.

backs to stop him. so clever was his
work in lodging tackles.
1t is very doubtful if there is a better
broken field runner in the country than
is Costello. Unless he is stopped before
he reaches the line of scrimmage ii is a
difficult matter to get him at all until he
