One man who played on the George
town eleven last season deserves a grea'
deal OF credit and that is Billy Mar
tin, who handled an end position 81
ably in the V. p. 1. contest last Thurs
day. Billy is nothing but youngster
but Coach Frank Gargan predicts
bright future for him on the gridiron.
Billy has played with the Georgetown
Prem eleven for the past Few years, Du

but not the weakest, by any means
Billy played hard football when ever pu

while country Fisher is slated to lea
the Light Blue and White aggregation

games always spoke Of Fisher as tn
star of the series, and he sust abou
earned that title,

back, played by far the best football
of the series, but il was expected o

also playing position which gave hfr
more leeway to shine.
But when all Is said and done. "Coun

the real sensation OF the 1919 scholssti
series -.
