GEORGETOWN READY.
Take Only Signal Practice for the
Mount St. Mary's Team.

Only long signal drill was INDUCED
in by the Georgetown foot ball men yes
terday in preparation for the game with
Mount ST. Marys. 1t is the intention of
Coach Gargan to use about twenty-four
men in this game, as it will be the last
opportunity offered to get a line on the
new men. The coach has a number of
men on the squad who look likely, and
will surely be used today.
Several men on the squad who have
been used at different positions in the
lineup will be given a trial today. Coach
Gargan has four men in mind namely.
Heiskell. Derby and Barron, whom he be-
lieves are varsity material, but whether
or not they are playing in their right
positions Is thing which is puzzling the
coach. Derby played halfback on Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute last year and
played very clever game at that po-
SitiOn.
Derby is by far the hardest worker on
the team. and Coach Gargan thinks well
Of his spirit. Gargan believes. though
that on account of his speed he will ma &c
down the field under points. and loo'ss
like an ideal end. Gargan believes that
by working him at end today he will be
| able to get good line on his ability.
Barron and Heiskell are two likely-iook-
ing linemen. but whether or not they can
be utilized at tackle is thing that is
| bothering the coaches. Barron played
tackle on Boston College High Sc Dol
last year, and it is claimed that he played
cleverly at this position, and the fact re-
| in this position. but Gargan seems to
think that his position is at guard. Bry-
ant. MOriarty and Mullaney are three re-
liable guards. Bryant played brilliantly
at this position last year. and although
he seems to be trifle overweight he
nfy
, in order to get into proper playing con-
dition. Heiskell will be worked at tackle
today.
The trouble with Hiskell is that wher
ne breaks through into his opponents
territory he doesn't know what to dc
with himself. Heiskell weighs abou,
1sa pounds. and possesses an ideal build
for a tackle.
The most interesting fight for posi-
ton on the team is the fact that both
. Calnan and Foley are playing a supert
game at quarterback. Both these mer
have been doing excellent work, and it il
exceedingly hard to pick the better man
Calnan Is given the preference over Foley
! for the present, but 1t is certain that the
fight will be very interesting one.
The most pleasing thing of yesterday s
happenings on the hilltop was the ap-
| pearance Of Dave White in a workout
| White did not go on the field in suit
but participated in long workout or
| the gymnasium floor. White will be out
Monday. and his appearance on the field
| will IN a great measure please all of the
coaches.
That Coach Ray Brown has likely
| looking bunch of foot ball players on the
Preparatory School squad goes without
saying. Brown has a good eleven, as
was demonstrated yesterday when his
team easily defeated Western High
Schoo', Ii to O. It was a wise move or
| the part Of the athletic authorities al
GEORGETOWN when they secured the serv.
| ices of Brown. The team has been In
| need of a competent coach for some
| time. and in Brown they have com
petant man.
