Y Has lust about been decided who will
-. he game for Georgetown against
Ei;ts ria Saturday There is hardly any
ta 4: rat the men who were mentioned
r8 .e rarnire by the coaches will not be re-
asr nv any of the other members of
a,. s.,aad
ronderful work done by Fury in
b. ia kfield in the scrimmage of yester-
a5 makes il a surety that he will start
in one of the hafback positions. Never
In game nor in a scrimmage has any
more clever work been done on George
town Field than that accomplished
By Fury yesterday. His ability to dodge
the men in the secondary defense and
get away from the forwards. even when
they appeared to have both arms about
his legs, was superior to anything shown
by 2 halfback on local field in long
yille. The other members Of the bac.,-
i;cld will be Murray at half, Dunn at full
and Costello at quarter.
Georgetown will have the greatest ag-
gregation of ground gamers In it's back
field ever gotten together behind the line
OF any team in the south. Besides two
men, who are wonderfully clever broken
field runners, there are two who
can hit the line for substantial gains
Murray is a creditable line plunger. and
is probably the best defensive man on
the quarter, with the possible exception
OF Costello. Fury can pay we'll on the
defensive whenever he wants to. The
main strength of Dunn lies in his ability
TO gain ground. He is heavy enough to
hit the line with a great deal of power,
and he is also clever in lodging the
secondary defense. In fact, 1t is the
driving power. which makes Dunn the
brilliant offensive player ne is.
The only doubtful position In the line
for some time has been at center. There
has been some question as TO whether
Fitch or Mullaney would be started
there 1t has been decided, though, that
Ritch will. be given the preference at the
beginning OF play. The two men shape
up very nearly equal In play. 10 take
everything into consideration, but Ritch
will be given the preference because OF
his ability to pass the ball more accu-
rately. Mullaney is a little better man TO
back up the line than Ritch. but 1t is
realized that abso utely accurate passes
must be made in the contest Saturday,
especially at the beginning.
The other members of the line will be
Barron, at right guard: Moriarty, at left
guard; White. left tackle; Capt. Hegarty.
right tackle; DonneIly. left end, and Bur-
gan. right end.
Western stood little chance against
Eastern yesterday. The Red and White
eleven was composed or green men anC
they were so light 1t was practically i'm
possible for them to accomplish much. /
could hardly be expected that they woult
hold their own against a team which ha.
had as much experience as that which
represents Eastern this season.
This lad Smith who Is playing halfbacl
for Eastern Is one OF the cleverest back
field men playing In the high schools thi
years. He is fair performer on the de
fense and Is the best broken-feld run
ner that has appeared In any of tn
games. He is an unostentatious player
getting in and working his best and al
the while saying nothing.
II he falls to get Job on the all-hig
team when 1t 10 selected then his wor'
