GEORGETOWN AND. AGGlES
HAVE MARGIN ON OTHERS
These Two Put in Good Time Last Week
With Foot Ball Squads, While Ga1audet
and Catholic University Have
Not Yet Started.

Willis and Huntington. The backfeld
will be nearly the same as last year,
though Capt. Morris Will not get in the
lineup for two or three weeks. In we"
of the fact that the halfbacks carry the
ball great deal more than does the run,
back. ii Is likely that Ruff. who played
full last year. will be shifted to left hair
until Morris is able to get out for work
Rufus chief asset then was MS aDlity
to gain ground, and he viii De utiilzeo
for that purpose as much as possible.
Hoffecker will be out for his old poSltlon
at right half Monday.
He has been kept out of the practice
during the last three days because OF the
game of base ball he had to pitch IN
Richmond yesterday. Shipley has not yet
practiced because he also was a member
of the Bankers nine Loomis. Robinson
and Knode are the other men who were
in school last year. and all. and particu-
larly Loomis and Knode. look much bet
ter now. coleman, who played an end
position for the Technical High School
team. will be given good trial Tor
backfield position. There are two men
who should be good material for the
backfield who, have not yet come out.
They are Derrick. who played fuliback
at Business High School. and Lodge, a
former member of the Dickinson Semi
nary eleven. These will probably report
for practice the first of this week.
The Farmers have better line material
than last year, but. with Morris not In
strong. There seems every indication
that a team at least the equal Of that
which represented the school last year
will be turned out The line will be
stronger and whether or not the Farm
ers will have a generally more capable
team depends on how the backfield turns
out.
A communicate from Manager Patter-
son of Gallaudet gives the Information
that the Kendall Greeners will start
practice Wednesday. Patterson said that
that time. and the men would be got out
Immediately. 4 lot Of good material will
be present. although one good man,
Decker. at center. will be lost. Gallaudet
has never started a season when the
prospects were as good as they are now.
With nearly the whole of successful
eleven back there is reason to look Tor
mighty good year.
That Fritz Crafts will again coach is
another thing which adds effectiveness
TO the general outlook. Crafts had the
team last season. and really accomplish
ed a great deal more than anybody ex-
pected. lie worked hard with his men,
and made the best of the chances Of
fered. 1t was only by the narroWest
kind of margin that he lost his big
| game with NJ. 4. G. With his work OF
| I91. as basis on which to start, Crafts
| should have an excellent eleven
Nothing has AS yet been. definitely de-
cided as to when work will be started

season have failed repeatedly.
Their, is no doubt that the Brookland-
ers intend TO have a team. While there
was some report last spring to the ef-
| feet that they might not be represented
| on the gridiron this season, accurate ad-
vice afterward made IL evident that an
eleven would be put out even though II
might not be of high caliber.
No coach has been engaged, though II
seems that Greer is favored to do the
work.
