The Washington times., 1913-11-01
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Georgetown goes into today's contest
with six of last years championship
eleven. Harry Costello is finishing his
collegiate career in a blaze of glory and
he should thrill the crowd today with
his brilliant runs through broken fields.
This is his speciality. Then, too, his
famous dropkicking toe is there. ready
to count three points for the Blue and
Gray, whenever the ball gets within
the 30-yard line.
Big Moriarity,. an all-star guard Of
last season, is playing a magnificent
game at tackle now and should be
easily one of the towers of defense for
Georgetown.
john Petritz, the fighting center. is
there at the pivot position, playing bet
ter than ever. He, too, should shine.
Dutch Barron should come into his
own today, always playing his strongest
game against a formidable opponent.
Behind the line the two stars are Cos
tello and Freddie Murray. The latter
plays great game on the offense, TAX
ing forward passes with the sangfroid Of
4 veteran. H.

Carlisle's particularly brilliant per
formers are Captain Welch. at quarter
hack; Guyon. the line-p1ung1ng back:
Calac, another powerful smasher and
heady runner. and the two ends, Pratt
and Vedernack. Carlisle's tackling is
always a feature of its game, and
Georgetown will be fortunate today to
get away for any long runs with those
two sharp-eyed aboriginies, Pratt and
Nedernack guarding the wings.
Carlisle is slightly heavier than the
Blue and Gray as whole. Its line
averages about three pounds more to a
man. Its backfeld averages thirteen
pounds heavier. The system of the In
dians is to speed up all the time rip
ping holes through the opposing line for
its heavy backs TO crowd through by
sheer momentum. The Indians have
done this successfully against every
team il has met this season.
one of the features OF the game should
be the kicking. Harry Costello has no
equal in this section when it comes to
punting He gets his kicks away in the
face of shifting forwards with a daring
nonchalance that captivates the on
lockers. Seldom does ne have a kick
blocked. so quick is he. When it comes
to booting beld goals. no Indian matches
Costello in skill. For three successive
years this little fellows dropkcks have
defeated Virginia. He is dangerous
anywhere within the thirty-yard line.
His accuracy is remarkable. Costello
is certain TO try for a field goal the
@oment he gets within range today.
Punter for Carlisle.
Carlisle, however, has a punter who
can equal Costello in distance and accu-
rncy. Captain Welch hovered last year
in the shadow cast by the peerless Jim
Thorpe This year he is in his glory
doing all the kicking for his team. He
gets height and distance into his punts,
dI Opping the leather where few oppon-
ents are located. With two vicious
ends such as Vedernack and Pratt COW
ering his punts, Welch's kicking is al
ways valuable.
Georgetown today will try 10 establish
its football reputation for the season.
The Navy and North Carolina A. and
VI. have defeated the Hilltoppers and
there has been considerable gloom at
Georgetown on that account. A good
showing against Carlisle means a leap
- the top for the team in the estima-
ton Of its supporters. Virginia, after
all, is the one team that must be de-
feated. If Georgetown today shows real
fO-tball prowess there will be hope for
a glorious victory over the Orange and
Blue two weeks hence.
