town backfield will do some brilliant
work. That Is just the kind OF team
against which fleet, clever-dodging set
of backs can do the most. and II any
team ever had such set of backs be-
hind its line that one Is Georgetown. 1t
is said that the NEEDS have a lineup that
is extremely heavy but the players are
ponderous to the extent that their offense
is slow: and their general actions not
agg essive in the least. That being the
case no matter how much latent power
there may be, Georgetown is going to
win, and win rather easily. Such play
ers cannot stop players of the like of
Costello, Weems, Kelly, Murray Foley,
ETC.
One Of the best linenlen the Maryland
Agricultural College has ever had has
not been In game this year. He is Hind
man. 1t is a ather remarkable COIN
cidence that. Notwithstanding the fact
that he has been regular for two
years, the students at NJ A. c. have
never seen Hindman play. Last year
only one home game was played and II
happened that Hindman was out Of that
with a bruised muscle in his Leg and he
has not yet appeared in a game this
season for the reason that he hurt his
shoulder during the first few days Of
practice. Morris Is captain Of the team
and he also has yet to play this season.
The absence Of Thorpe does not seem
to have affected the Indians to any great
extent. They are going along the same

teams with which they come In contact
