GREER HAS BEEN SECURED
TO COACH c.. u. ELEVEN
Announcement Made This Morning That
He Would Have Charge Candidates
to Be Called Out Next Monday.

He was the assistant last season, and
there was great deal of sentiment eX-
pressed last spring in his favor. In fact.
1t was mentioned in these columns at
that time he would probably be the man
for the place.
In speaking OF the matter this morning
Greer had the following to say. Il realize
that | have a hard task on my hands to
develop a really capable eleven this fall
especially after the many injuries and dis
appointments with which we had to con-
tend in 1912. However. the practice will
begin next Monday. and il is reported that
there will be several likely candidates in
the incoming class There We're several
men on the eleven OF last year who should
make good. and | think that on the whole
we will have a creditable season"
JUST what kind of material Catholic
University will have this fall out of
which TO develop n foot ball team re-
mains to be seen. but it is very probable
that the prospects will be very much bet
ter than last season when practice began
Nearly all the squad of 1872 will be back
and there should certainly be some fairly
clever players among the new classmen.
BleWett. captain of the team, is a Very
estimable performer. and he and Moran
should cd the nucleus for a representa-
tive eleven.
Much more judgment has been exercis-
ed this season than last in the arrange
ments of the schedule Instead of start
ing the year by playing several elevens
composed OF men much more experienced
and older and heavier. list of contests
mas been made up which provides that
the Brooklanders will meet teams pretty
nearly in their own class.
Whether or not the Brooklanders
VIII have a good foot ball team is NOT
known. but it certainly seems that a
good showing should be made against
the teams listed to be played. But
even though the eleven is below stand
ard, the men back of the athletics at
the school are evidencing the right
kind OF spirit and are going about
the right way eventually TO have one
which will be able to hold its own
against the other universities Of high
standing. That WAS just the way i'm
which successful base ball team was
turned out.
Georgetown will start its scrimmage
work tomorrow. The Blue and Gray
squad has been putting in some SIREN
uous efforts to get in shape to do some
real work and now. it is reported, the
men are about ready to start. There
has been a sameness about the work
SO far. endeayors having been made
to get the players in shape to begin
real practice. To tentative elevens
are to be lined UP tomorrow afternoon,
ii not today. for the beginning of the
grinding scrimma ges. which last from
then until two or three days before
Tina nix sgiving.
-Four more men arc expected TO join
the Georgetown squad today or tomor
row. Moriarty and Bergen, regular
guard aud end Of last year. are expect
ed to report, as is Cusack. who cap
tanned the props in 1912. and Phillips.
a high school player from Springfield.
The return of these men should en-
nance the appearance of the squad con-
siderably. Moriarty was one of the best
ilnemen in the south last season. So
fast and clever was he that he was
selected for one of the end positions on
the .Al-Scuth Atlantic eleven. Bergen
was recognized as one of the best play
ing an end position. What kind of ma
terial Cusack and Phillips will be Is not
known, and not much can be said OF
them until they have received thorough
trial
The Maryland Aggies will probably
have two new candidates for their foot
ball team today or tomorrow. Derrick.
who played fulIback for the Business
High School last season; and Heine,
former Technical High tachle.fi are the
men referred to- Derrick is already in
school. but has not yet come out for
will enter today.
These two men should prove very vaiu-
able reconsideration have had high
school experience. which means a whole
lot The player with two or three years
of high school experience behind him
has q better chance to make good right
at the start than one who has not that
advantage
Manager SILK Of the Catholic University
foot ball team will not return to school
new manager will be chosen in his
place a. soon as school opens next week.
1t is probable that Assistant Manager
Croni,i will be selected for the place.
Virginia is said TO have i mighty capa-
BILE half1ack in Word 1t is said that he
is much above the average of the backs
found on the college teams in this sec
ton He was Il member of the Richmond
Blues last season. He did such wonder
ful work behind the line for that eleven
that men from Virginia prevailed upon
him to enter that school. He weighs
about 10 pounds. is fast plays we'll de-
fensiveIy- and is as clever in running
in the open field in line smashing.
