Good Tryout Today.

That about every member of the foot
ball squad at Georgetown will be given an
opportunity in this afternoons game is
a certainty, because the manner in
which the coaches handled the men in
yesterdays practice indicated that every
member of the squad will be used in or
der to give the men a good tryout
For over an hour the members of both
the varsity and second teams were used
only in a signal drill, and every play
that will be used today was tried out and
every fault on the offense was remedied.
Such life and ginger before an opening
game has never been seen on the hilltop
for many day. every man working with
all the energy he possessed.
No chances are to be taken by the
coaches, and the best team that can be
secured will be sent in until the game
is placed on ice.
The backtield will be without the serv-
ices Of Dunn. the plunging fullback. who
will be out of the game for some time.
Dunn has water on the elbow. and the
attending physician has ordered him to
remain out of the scrimmages for at
least a week. There are two men who
CampaZzi and Murray. Both of these
men have done good work all week on the
varsity. and are deserving Of a good trial.

gan and Dennis took particular interest
in watching their work.
Derby. who played halfback at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute last season. has
been worked at left end by the coaches
and has shown up fairly Well Young
Martin of the props last season will sure
ly' be used in tOdays game, as his work
during the week has heen of high
standard. Coach Bemis has had him
under his hand and has given him sew
el-al good pointers On how to play the
end position. and Martin has derived a
great deal of benefit from the coaching
already received. He is bound to be in
the running for an end position. Van
Brookiine. at right end. looks better on
each days performance. His ability to
man helps him greatly. He is very
short and weighs about 1G0 pounds.
Ritch will be tried at tackle from row
on. as he ssesses an ideal build for sue
posit.on. belng tail and r1l.sy. aia Or
big man he is very fast. On account of
the arrival of John PetritZ yesterday
morning. it is thought best by the coaches
to use Ritch at tackle. as in Petritz
Georgetown has a valuable center man.
For time 1t was reported that Petritz
was not to return, but the arrival of this
star player has filled the coaches with
much enthusiasm las Coach Gargan had
seen PetritZ work all of last year. and
with the valuable coaching and expert
ence hesderived from last season he will
be Of great help to the team this year.
Another newcomer who is expected to
join the squad Monday is brother Of
Jack Kingsley. manager of Georgetown's
wonderful track team last year. Young
Kingsley halls from Hartford. Conn.,. and
is halfback. weighing about $50 pounds
If he is a tall and rangy man he will be
tried out at tackle, as the Hilltoppers
must have pair of strong tackles de-
veloped before the big game.
