There may be some great ends on the
various elevens playing the game now,
but IL there are many superior to the
youngster who held down the left flank

has not been seen around here. Veder-
mack stands out as one Of the best ends
in the east, and that despite his rather
small stature He is short and stocky.
and seems small to be playing the posi-
ton, but there is no doubt that he de-
|livers the goods. He gets around and
through the interference in way that
is astonishing. 1t seems to be almost I'M
possible to eliminate him from the play
It is seldom that he fails to get his man,
and Yesterday he went through four or
five Georgetown men time after time anu
dropped the man with the bail He uses
splendid judgment in going In TO nelp OUT
on plays through the line and oh-tackle.
and seems to know just when not to get
in fast In order to prevent an opposing
back from slipping around him. he
would compare favorably with hucn
larger and heavier men who are playlhs
end positions in the big universities.
Costello gave exhibitions OF broken field
running yesterday on several occasions
which were brilliant. His efforts at times
savored of the spectacular, making MS
