Prospects for winning team at
Georgetown took big bound upward
yesterday when "Opch'' Moriarity,
Charley Bergin, and Tiny Calnan re-
ported to the squad for the first time. 1t
had been rumored that Aoriarity would
not be a candidate for the eleven this
fall. but this was proved to be untrue
when the husky linesman reported to
Coach Gargan on the Hilltop field yes
terday afternoon.
Moriarity looks to be in good condition.
just bit overweight. but with a little
training, the star linesman OF last years
aggregation will be ready to again play
great game in a forward position.
I Bergin Is slightly overweight. He
jumped in yesterday with a vim, and was
soon running down punts in that same
old classy style. Bergin is as fast as
ever, and as soon as he takes on a little
weight, will be right in the thickest
of the scrimmage.
One newcomer this year on the Hilltop,
who is attracting a great deal of atten-
tion Is Charley Bold, the former Evertt
High School full back. Coach Gargan Is
priming this youngster for a tackle pos
ition. and the big fellow bids fair to de-
yelop into a star.
football. He is being carefully worked
by Wayne Hart, Georgetown'S line coach.
and will prove to be the sensation of the
Blue and Gray on the gridiron this sea-
son.
Manager Eddie Barrett announced yes
terday that the Hintoppers would be
without a game Saturday. but that a
good scrimmage would be held. between
the first and second teams, as the squad
will be divided by this date Barrett
worked hard TO arrange a game, but
could not find an eleven willing to stack
up against Gargan's Grabbers.
Billy Martin did the punting for the
ends. and booted the old pigskin to a
fare -you-welL This little fellow punte ed
on an average OF sixty yards at a clip.
and II would not be surprising to see
the chunky lad doing tho kicking for
the Hilltoppers this fall.
Tad DonnelIy again showed up we'll.
The lad from up North has improved
a great deal over last fall. and handles
himself much better. Donnelly is a
good receiver of a forward pass. gets
down the field fast, and tackles hard.
Three squads were working yester-

charge of the ends and a few of the
backs. Head Coach Gargan worked
with the backs while Coach Hart had
the linesmen in tow.
With a heavy set Of forwards work
ing with a charging machine, Capt
Costello sending long passes to the
ends. and Coach Gargan with a gang
of backs tackling everything in sight.
the Hilltop field yesterday looked like
a real football gridirOn.
Zapponi. former Central High star.
who has begen making good in the
line, was injured Saturday. and viewed
yesterdays practice from the side lines.
Zap" strained a ligament in his right
leg, but will not be lost to the squad
for more than a couple of weeks, at
the most
"Botch" Barron is still the hard
worker OF old. The Boston boy is
working harder this year than last, and
seems sure TO be in the best Of condi-
ton by the time the first game is
played.
The Maryland Aggies will open the
local football season Saturday at Col
leEe Park by cIashing with the Balti-
more City College eleven. The Aggies
will be minus the services of their
captain and star, Country Morris; but.
outside Of that. will present fairly
strong team.
The Aggies and Georgetown will hook
up i'm a practice battle next Wednesday.
This game should serve both teams we'll.
as il will give the Aggies plenty of prac-
tice against a strong eleven, and will
send Georgetown against team not
much its inferior.
Manager OIiveri and his Vigilants are
getting a flying start. Several promising
newcomers are out for the team, and
with the last years men the independ
ent champions bid fair to again hold the
local crown.
As usual. Manager Oliveri will point
his team towards the Engineers game,
but he has also booked some of the
strongest independent elevens in the East
for Sunday games at Vigilant Park.
Buck Howard, captain of last years
eleven at Western High, assisted Coach
Morse yesterday at the West End School
With big squad of youngsters out,
Western will present an eleven, but II
will perhaps be the lightest in the his
tory of scholastic football.
The National Athletic Club would like
to play this Sunday at Central League
Park. but, to date, Manager Gauzza has
failed to close with a team. The Ma
tionals will present a strong lineup. ac-
cording to the current gossip, and will
make many of the eleven hustle to win
Practice will be held at $50 today. All
