GEORGETOWN TEAM IN
FINAL BATTLE TODAY
Tackle Virginia PoIys and
''Subs" to Be Given Chance
for Their "GS."

The game this afternoon at Georgetown
field will be the last one Of the season
1t is expected by those in authority that
the team will finish with victory against
Virginia Polytechnic. 1t must be remem-
bered that last season Georgetown, on
Thanksgiving day, administered 2S-to-3
defeat to Lehigh. who came here with
such great reputation. 1t is expected
today that the Blue and Gray will make
the best showing Of the year.
After the Virginia game the George
town team was permitted to break training
and number Of people began to worry
a great deal over the Thanksgiving day
game. From the showing Of the nien all
during the past week it must be said that
the meu today are in the very best of
shape.
a number Of the subs will be given a
chance to make their Co today. The
ruling in the constitution reads that a
halves or participate in the Virginia game
in order to win the coveted &c" At
the present time only thirteen men have
received their letter. but 1t is hoped that
today four men who have worked all
season for the success Of the team will
receive the emblem.
The Hilltop eleven has been very for
tunate this year because the men who
started the game generally finished it.
1t is true that the team had not very
many available substitutes, and George
town must be considered fortunate in not
having any real serious injuries.
On the whole. the eleven made a very
good showing. Beginning the year with
only last seasons men at hand with the
possible exception of Ritch and Martin,
the prospects for winning team looked
none too bright OF the men playing in
the game today, every one of them was
MI
and others as substitutes. Martin en-
tered college from the preparatory school,
and has been coming all year Not until
this week did the coaches feel that this
little star would be able to play in big
game. Coach Dennis believes that George
town has in Martin a star performer.
Ritch came to Georgetown from the Uni
versity of North Carolina, where he
played sashing game at center. These
two L.en have helped Georgetown greatly.
Starting the season with such conditions,
Coaches Gargan and Dennis worked Won
ders with the team. and developed it in
such a manner that it was able to win
from its old rival, Virginia, in the an
nual classic.
OF the men that Georgetown will lose
this year it would seem that the eleven
will be crippled to a certain extent. Capt
Hegarty and White at tackles will be
lost. Ritch, center; Mullaney and MOri-
arty, guards; Dunn and Fury in the back
field will be lost to the team
1t will be hard job to fill Whites posi-
ton at tackle. 1t seems that there are
not very many good tackles playing the
game in this section. White has shown
ability in every contest he has entered
and will be missed great deal.
Dunn stated that he will not don the
padded armor again, and he seems sin
cere in his threat. Dunn has played four
years of college foot ball, and is entirely
sick of the game.
Fury. who has been Georgetown's stel-
lar back for the past three years. will
also be greatly missed. Fury possesses
more natural foot ball ability than any
player on the field. He is hard man
lodging ability he has been able to gain
a great deal of ground for Georgetown.
Fury is also a great defensive player.
Ritch at center played we'll all season
He is by far the hardest worker on the
team, and deserves great credit for his
timely playing.
This is Moriarty's third year as a foot
ball player, having played one year on
the Holy Cross eleven, Worcester. Mass,
before entering Georgetown. Moriarty
stated that on account Of his studies at
the law school next year he would not
be able to get time to play foot ball.
Coach Dennis will not be able to return
to Georgetown next fall, either. Dennis
is in business in Philadelphia, and is
going to give up coaching. During his
short stay here Dennis has proven to be a
successful coach. At ennsylvania Dennis
played a halfback position, but while
here he has had charge of the line. With
Gargan Dennis has worked faithfully in
the development of the team.
Coach Gargan, it is hoped, will be back
next year. Gargan should be given a
great deal of praise for the showing
and is able to teach the same to the
