GEORGETOWN ELEVEN
GIVEN ROUGH WORK
HiIItoppers Put Through Forty
Five Minutes of Cruel
ing Practice.

The Georgetown foot ball practice was
by far the stiffest that has been held this
season. every one of the men being work
ed to the utmost in the first real scrim-
mage. which lasted for three-quarters of
an hour. The workout seemed to be too
strenuous for the first scrimmage. but
the coaches decided that the men needed
this kind of work. and on account of the
cool weather it was decided 10 give the
squad all it's members could stand.
One of the sad features of the whole
play was 1.-THE loss of three men who were
sure to make good namely, ToImey, Don
nelly and Rawlings.
Jim Tormey was playing left tackle on
the varsity, and while breaking through
he fell in such a manner as to have some
one fall upon his knee When he was
picked up he could not walk and it was
evident that he needed assistance He
was taken to the Georgetown Hospital in
an automobile and thorough eXanna-
ton of the injured part was made Tor
IncN knee Was dS,ocated and was
placed hack into position. and also sew
cral ilgtmcntS were strained. 1t is very
doubtful if Tormey viii be on the field
again this year. and If 50 il is doubtful
II ne can be worked again, as this same
injury To this weakened part is very liable
Jar. Tie loss of Tormcy will ba severe
blow to the foot ball team as he was
counted upon 10 make good at, tackle. As
GeOISttown is greatly in need OF tackles
and has no likely-lookng men upon the
Held at present. II Is very doubtful il
these two positions can bs looked after
capably.
The injury TO both Donnelly and Raw
1nss Is another severe blow to the foot
ball team. Fer some time DonnelIv has
been a a Nar hon dow,
and yesterday at his own wish he was
allowed to enter the game. While going
in after play aimed directly off tackle
he injured his sore shoulder to such AN
extent that he Was carried from the field
An N-ray picture will be taken TODAY for
the purpose OF determining whether or
not the clavicle bone Is broken.
Young Rawlings should not have been
allowed 10 enter the Scrimmage yester-
day, as il was the youngsters first day
out. and il could he seen that ne was moi
in shape To withstand the grueling WORK
Rawlings looked very good to the
coaches while he was in. lie was used
at halfback, and on account of his speed
and clever lodging he was noticed by
every one on the field Ii is to he re-
GREETED that this little star viii not be
back IN the game again for long time.
The exact extent of his injury could
not be learned but an X-ray picture will
be taken today.
Several of the men were excused from
practice yesterday because of injuries
which Were received the day previous.
one thing noticeable about these injuries
is that in almost every case the shoulder
SEEMS to be the part that is injured.
Moriarty and Williams had their shout
ders injured in Tuesdays workout. Dave
White had his shoulder hurt Saturday.
and then Rawlings and Donnelly put
their shoulders outot commission yes
tcrday. Every man before he u allowed
on the field is provided with "a shoulder
harness, and il is TO be wondered at that
the shoulder is the part to be injured.
The appearance of both Bergen and
George Rhcinchld. tho big blond Tackle.
VIII give great deal more confidence To
the coaches. Bergen arrived here yes
tcrddy morning and looks to be in per
feet shape. Rheinchild will he placed in
at tackle at once and will be given plenty
OF work at this position.
