Stiff Workouts to Be
The Rule at Hilltop

Georgetown will have much
strengthened team for the game with
the Richnond Medico's on Saturday IL
the work OF the coaches in the next
day or SO is to bear fruit.
Coaches Gragan, Hart, and Cox will
put the team through a hard scrim-
mage today, following yesterdays s
grueling workout, in the hopes of build
ing up a better defense to meet the
heavy team that it will encounter on
Saturday.
Realizing that the Carolina A. and NJ.
team was played to a 13 to : score by
the visitors last Saturday, the Blue
and Gray knows that ii will be extend
ed to the limit to win. 1t Is not unlikely
that Seems. Corkins. and Murray with
Costello, will start in the back field in
the coming contest.
The line is a serious problem at the
Hilltop. and the material is lighter
than any reporting for several seasons.
Moriarty will be back later in the week,
while Barron. Petretz, Heiskell, Zap
gone, O'Gorman. and Smith will be
pointed up for the berths to be filled
in the line Saturday.

Pontius at FuIIback
On Michigan Eleven

ANN ARBOR. Mich, Oct. 15.-The
sending of Pontius, veteran lineman, in
at fullback in an attempt to bolster up
the pitiably weak Michigan offense and
the announcement that Craig. star half
back. might yet come out for the team.
caused q small sensation here today.
Pontius was slow. but had a world of
power and crashed over for a touch
down in five minutes. Craig. the great
est halfback Yost has had in recent
years, did not come out owing to the
fact that he had heavy scholastic work
in order TO finish. Tonight however
il was stated that the Detroiter could
not finish in June. and a rumor quickly
spread that he would come out for the
team. The return of Craig would save
the day for Michigan.

COACHES CAN KEEP
NAVY FROM WORK
Team Displays Midseason Form
Two Weeks After Starting
Play This Year.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Oct. 15.-What is
to be thought of football coaches who
are doing the best they can to keep
their charges from working too hard
less than two weeks after their season
has opened and who are sending them
from the field during the hours allotted
for practice? This is exactly the situa-
ton at the Naval Academy, where the
eleven, composed almost entirely OF
veterans of two and three seasons,
have hit off so rapid a clip from the
start that the coaches are afraid that
they will rass their zenith and fail to
be at their best on the day of the final
game against West Point.
There has been no line up against the
scrub this week, and though the
coaches contemplate some playing
very short for those composing the reg
ular team. There has been no scrim-
mage this week participated in by the
regulars: in fact the team has lined up
against an opponent but six times this
season, four times against the scrub
and in TWO matches against the Uni
versity Of Pittsburgh and Georgetown.
The team seems to have started just
where it left off last year, and this ap-
pears to be the reason for its remark!
able early season form.
The coaches are devoting considerable
attention 10 the settling of the quarter
back position and the development of
more substitute backs. Vessels made
a fine showing In practice yesterday, the
lineup being between elevens formed
from the minor substitutes and other
squad men. He handled the forward
pass particularly well. Vail, Mitchell.
| Austin, Vessels. and Vinson are the
candidates for the pivotal position.
Miles, who was also trying for quar-
| terback, is now out for halfback. Fail
| ing, Alexander and Bates are the only
available substitutes for half and full,
and the coaches are anxious to develop
some additional second string men.
