1912 FOOTBALL
PROSPECTS AT
HILLTOP BRIGHT
Candidates Will Report for First
Practice on September 16 at
University Field.
SQUAD WILL NUMBER SIXTY

The first day OF football practice will
be on Monday. September 16. at which
time it is expected that fully forty
candidates will be in uniform. BY the
end of the week the squad will number
sixty. The practice will be in charge
OF Field Coaches Gargan and Dennis.
who will work under the direction OF
Head Coach Daley. With but twelve
days to prepare for the opening game.
the work will have to be pushed at a
rapid rate. As the season progresses
outside alumni coaches will report from
time to time to give aid in special de-
partments. Among these will be Percy
Givens, Charley Cox. Charles McCar-
thy, Moran Barry. Mike Cunniff, Billy
Sitterding. Wayne Hart. and Skip Wy
mard.
Although there will be many holes in
the team caused by the loss Of fve of
last years regulars. all of the places
are well cared for from among the ranks
OF preps and last years second team
There is not much cause for worry
on the part of the coaches In this re-
gard. About the only place that seems
at all dubious is at quarter back. but
even here there will be a good crop of
youngsters to develop a pilot from,
among these being Foley. Campazzei.
Murray, and McGrath of last years
scrubs: Farmer. the ex-Tech player: and
in case of necessity Harry Costello
could be used by shifting him from half
to the quarter back position.
High school Grads on squad.
One of the features of the Georgetown
squad this year will be the appearance
on 1t of a number Of Washington High
School graduates. Van Dyne, Hamilton,
Fritz Reuter-. of Central, intend to enter
the Hilltop ranks. and these with Farmer.
will make a sufficient local contingent TO
cause much more interest among people
OF this city than has been the case here
tofore.
While the absence OF the Army game
from the schedule is much regretted, the
attractiveness of the season at home
makes up fully for this loss. Not only
will their be seven games this year on
the heights, but of these four will be of
great importance. The Washington and
Lee game will count for a great deal in
the South Atlantic ratings, and will no
doubt draw bigger crowd than ever be-
fore. The Indian game. coming two weeks
later than last year. will have added IN
terest on account OF the notoriety of the
great Carlisle half back, Thorpe, who be-
came a world figure by virtue of his per-
formance at the Olympic games. Vir-
ginia will be stronger than last season,
and the rivalry will be correspondingly
greater. while the sectional interest In the
game with V. P. l. promises to make that
Thanksgiving Day clash one of the big
features of the South Atlantic gridiron
year.
Plans are under way for making many
improvements TO the field, and for in
creasing the seating capacity. These will
be taken up in detail by the new facul-
ty director of athletics, Father Kilroy,
and supervisor of athletics, Vincent
Daley. when the latter arrives here next
week.
