TO PICK OFF MEN
Georgetown Coaches Insist
ina That Candidates Be Well
Drilled in That Feature.

Yesterday. again. the Georgetown foot
ball candidates were given a good work
out in preparation for the opening game.
scrimmaging about thirty-five minutes, I'M
til each man who participated in the prac-
tice showed through his efforts that he
was getting very tired.
All three coaches We're out in uniform
Yesterday. and the fundamental points
of the game We're reheMsed. Head
Coach Daley arrived in town shortly be-
fore practice, and was on the field giving
the guards, Mullaney and Morarty, a
few points on how to play their positions
Coach Dennis took hold of the two
tackles and ends, and gave them a good
workout on breaking through, and
through his individual work the tackles
and ends derived Il great deal of benefit.
Dennis insists upon having tackle
charge low. and to have the men learn
this art he had the charging machine on
the field all during the afternoon, and
two sets of linemen were used. GarSan
took charge Of all the backfield men
and had them tackling the dummy and
picking off men The fact that Garsan
is strong for this picking-off game seems
to help the team, as the men have ac-
complished great deal in that manner.
In Yesterdays practice this was notice
able. because several times during the
play the second string backs picked on
men in d manner that pleased the
coaches.
After these fundamentals were gone
over two teams were selected ana a
rough scrimmage was in order, the hrst
team failing to score on the scrubs VINO
al all times fought Samely. The scrubs
IN "a -
raw showed to some advantage. All of
these three men will surely give the
first string men a run Tor tnclr money.
These three men picked their holes nicely,
and on the defense they were all over
The field making tackles. Little Murray
plainly showed that he is to be considered
when the time for the picking of the
backfield for the big games arrives
1t has been definitely decided by the
coaches that only Tuesday, Wednes ia

The loss of Jim Dunn at this stage of
as Dunn is by far the best ground
gamer on the team. He has been play
ing we'll since the team began practice
and a: the present time is in splendid
shape. 1t has not been decided yet
whether Dunn will be out for the sea
son or not, as the X-ray picture taken
Of his arm has not been developed yet
The injury is a very painful one and
during the whole night Dunn suffered
greatly.
The best news that has been received
a. the Hilltop since the injury of White
Is the fact that the big fullback will be
back in the game in about two weeks
The X-ray picture of this star which was
taken yesterday morning was developed
last evening. and showed that no bones
were broken. The coaches were well
pleased on hearing of this good news, as
they know that in White they have one
of the best defensive men on the field
He Is big and strong and wonder in
backing up the line.
Young Rawlings has no broken bones
either. This youngster received quite q
severe blow, and as a result his shoulder
was slightly dislocated, but he will be on,
again in few weeks.
Donneuys injury is fast healing bu
he will not be allowed to enter the frs,
game, because the coaches will take nj
chances with this man.
