'OOCH' MORIARITY STARS

Georgetown has uncovered another
crack prep school athlete in Art Weems
of Tome School. of Port Deposit, Md.
who starred in the practice on the Hill
top yesterday Playing half back on the
varsity eleven, the former Tome boy
shone brilliantly in his initial try-out
here, and incidentally his first scrim-
mage of the season. Weems carried the
ball equally well whether in short
plunging rushes through the line, or in
wide swooping circles around the ends.
Time and time again when the scrubs
held the varsity until they had but one
down with five and six yards to go,
Weems was called upon, and invariably
his soTrel-topped head protruded through
the mass of players for the necessary
distance before he was downed.
,Weems played in Tome for several
years and is very steady for a new man.
He is also a star at baseball, and last
year was considered one of the best
a magnificent whip, and is reputed a
good hitter.
Hart Plays Guard.
Capt Harry Costello was not out YES
rerday, but will PejOin the squad Mon
day Coach Wayne Hart played guard
with the scrubs, as did Moriarity, in
order to thoroughly test the offensive
strength of the varsity They were both
to a great extent responsible for the
'Varsity's failure to score in the whole
half hour of scrimmage. On one occa-
sion. the first eleven rushed the ball TO
within three yards of the final chalk
mark, only to lose IL on a tumble. The
scrubs could do little in advancing the
ball, so the play remained pretty well in
their territory
Aside from Weems, "Ooch" Moriarity
the veteran guard, was the individual
star of the practice. Moriarity formed
the whole backbone of the scrub line,
and il was directly due 10 him that the
varsity failed to score. With the ball
on the 3-yard line. Murray was called to
take it over but was hit so hard by
Moriarity as to cause him to tumble.
Moriarity Makes Error.
This was the Dorchester boys only
mispIay Of the day. as, together with
Weems, he repeatedly gained good dis
tances. In the absence Of Costello, Cal
nan worked at quarter back, while
Doherty, who has been out OF the scrim-
mage for more than a week, was again
playing full back Doherty played very
well considering his knee Is still weak,
and gives promise of showing much bet
ter.
Tom Curry. who has been showing well
at center for the scrubs, was put out
yesterday. when his bad knee was
again, as PetritZ hit him hard
in blocking. Curry has certainly expert
en6ed hard luck to the limit, as it was
his first scrimmaEe since the first few
days out. when his knee was originally
hurt. Petritz, the first string center. did
much better, his passing being much i'm
proved over his early work His work
in picking of men on the offense and
in hard tackling on the defense begins
to show something of his real stride. but
as yet he is far from topnOtch form.
Bresl who looked well at center sew
era days ago, was shifted to tackle on
the scrubs.
Billy Martin was not out, Landreau
I King his place. Bergen also was miss
ing, while Bill Cusack's knee kept him
out of the scrimmage. so that the wing
position were rather shakey. Sam Foley
ran the scrubs at quarter back and made
them work hard.
