HAS FINE MATERIAL
Georgetown Foot Ball Pros
poets Look Auspicious.
CANDIDATES FOR PLACES
Many Capable Men Working to Sc
cure Positions Hurts
Shoulder.

A close observation of the work ac-
complished by the foot ball players who
are trying out for the positions on the
Georgetown team leaves an impression
that the hilltop institution will be repre-
scented by one of the fastest elevens in
the history Of the school. Never before
has there been such a wonderful array
Of material on hand, and never before
has there been such likely bunch of
foot ball players. Every man on the
squad seems to possess great knowledge
of foot ball, and this fact alone is bound
to be of great assistance to the coaches
In previous years the coaches would be
required to take lot of green young
sters who never had played any real foot
ball and try to develop them into first
class players, which in some cases is not
an easy matter by any means.
Head Coach Nielsen of last seasons
crack eleven should be given great credit
for developing such men as Eddie Null
laney. CampaZzi Foley, Williams and
Murray. Each of the aforementioned
men was placed under the charge Of
was over he had all playing wonderful
foot ball. OF course. the aforementioned
players did not make regular berths on
the team, but this year they should be in
the running for positions on the varsity.
Sam Foley at quarterback IS showing up
we'll.
During the past week the weather has
been very warm, and although the
coaches have worked the men hard each
day, let-up on such work will be in
order, as the men will not be able to
stand 1t. During the week the men have
been drilled wholly on the fundament ais
of foot ball, such as falling on the ball
tackling and picking men off in the in
to- ha
deal of time the last named, as he
firmly believes that fhis is an essential
factor in the game this year For over
an hour yesterday Gargan drilled the
backs in picking off mon. and every MEM
Der Of the squad who is being taught this
art has shown great Willingness and will
doubtlessly be fully capable Of putting
men out of the play before the end of
this week.
For every position on the team there is
bound to be the strongest competition
No man is by any means sure of his 20
sition, and every one of the old men will
be forced to show the best there is in
him in order to hold down his job.
Battle on For Center's Job.
For the center position the fight for tbe
regular job will be between four good
men. Kelley. who halls from the syria
cuse High School. is a newcomer, who
has been worked regularly because he
looks to be pretty good man. Eddie
Mullaney of the second team last year
is going to make all the candidates work
for the JOB. Mullaney is a wonderful
defensive man and has the goods. He has
only been out for two days, but at that
he looks to be In splendid shape and
claims that he IS Word has been re-
ceived from Pitch, center at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, that he will
be here tomorrow. 1t is claimed by eX-
perts that Pitch is a valuable man and
that he will make good. He is tall and
rangy and possesses the kind Of build
that is needed in the center of the line
Wymard. the captain and center on Mount
st. Mary's last season. is also a center
man, and must be counted upon as in
the running for this position. Young
Wymard is also a good goal kicker. and
as Georgetown has no such man who can
be depended upon in that department, his
services might be required.
Williams for Guard.
For the guard positions there is Will
liams. who was a sub last year, and who
should be heard from this season. Will
liams needs plenty of work. and the
coaches have decided upon driving him
all OF the time Bryant is in fine shape
and claims that he expects to have
great year Of 1t. He weighs little over
300 pounds. but will be given plenty Of
