eleven yesterday in it's practice asains
the Maryland Agricultural College squat
showed lot of improvement over tina
which was done last Saturday agains
Rock Hill. The Brooklanders got int
the play with great deal more spirit
they gained quite a little ground agains
the Farmers and held well on the defen
sive much of the time
/ The Farmers came into Brooklahd al
4 O'Clock and after a short signal prac.
i-tice the two elevens lined up for a scrim
mage which lasted an hour. No count
was kept of the downs, but Catholic Uni
iversity had the ball the greater part of
the time. It's longest gain was run
made by Lynch, who got away with a
forward pass and crossed the goal line.
c. u. has an e.even that is apt to be
heard from before the end of the year
1t did not do as we'll as 1t should have
against Rock Hill. The line from tackl.
to tackle will average 10 or 115 pounds
while the ends are also fairly heavy

any secondary team in this section. Dot

strong, heavy and aggressive. He would
be benefit to almost any team ali uno
here. Letters, another Mount St. Mary's
man. Is also good enough to distinguish
himself considerably before the year is
ended. Donneliy, who play cd on the bast
ball team last spring, is out for end. and
he will make good. He came out oniy

| Catholic University has a better looking
team than was shown when 1t lost to
Rock Hill, and 1t should get away with
some well played games before the end

The Virginia Medical College. which
will play Georgetown here Saturday, lost
to the University of Mississippi yesterday
at Richmond. The southern eleven did
not do a great deal more ground-galning
than did the Richmond aggregation, but
| it managed to kick goal from its lone
touchdown, the margin by which 1t won.
| The result of that contest may mean
| that the .Ieds are very strong. according
to whether or not the mississippi team is
up to the standard Of some OF those which
have represented that school. II the
eleven is standard Mississippi aggrega-
tion then Georgetown will have harder

At a late hour this morning 1t was an
nounced at Gallaudet that nothing had
versy now gong on between the students
+, and the faculty relative to the suspension
! of foot ball players because of alleged in
diligence in tagging A meeting is 70
be held some time today, though. at

ment Of the difficulty will be found.
| Georgetown has again secured Jimmy
Mulligan to coach the track team 1t
| has been understood all the time that he
would be the man N charge this year,
but no definite announcement was made
relative to the matter until yesterday.
Mulligan had one of the best squads
Blue and Gray. 1t fairly swept things
in this section. while the relay four ac-
complished victories over some OF the
big universities of the north.
Just about the same KIND OF team
is likely to wear the Blue and Gray this
year, too, because the material is there
and Mulligan knows how to work 1t to
get the best results.
With all the men in, good condition.
Georgetown has q backield OF which it
may we'll feel proud. Thee Is q man a..
quarterback who has three years expert
enoe behind him and not man OF the
backfield who cannot carry the bail well
and play cleyerly on the defensive. Co.'S
tello can run the team with a snap tina,
few quarterbacks have, and he is the
best ground-ga. ner In The sOu,h. Tnere Is
no other man who car carry the ball a.
well In broken field as he. and none
who can drop-kick as accurately Co.'S
tello stands out as the mainstay of the
backfield, just as he has since he joined
the squad In the fall of 1910. but there
are other very capable men who may be
i no1t o6 an hnir hna al
Murray, Foley and Kelly from last sea-
sons squad are all good.
There are not many better men to be
found in this section. There are two or
three new men who are dong creditable
work. and who are generally recognized
| as capable OF developing into except, On-
ally clever performers. The best show
i Ing by recruits 80 far has been made by
fast attracting the attention Of the men
In charge.
| Georgetown line, while lighter than
In recent years, Is aggressive, and WILL
make better showing against some Of
the heavier forwards in the south At
lantic section than anybody is looking for
Let the Blue and Gray forwards be de-
veloped to greater roint of efficiency
any Of the other teams in this section the
battle Of its life to win.
There is no doubt that Georgetown is
going to race about the best lot of foot
ball players 1t has run up against in an
leleven representing an institution in this
section when 1t goes against A. & M
next week. The Blue and tray is not
igoing to have as easy time getting
Iaway with the long end Of the score In
that game as 1t did last season, notwith-
lstanding the good ground gamers playing
behind the line. Something OF the caiiber
LOT the men who represent A. & NJ this
year may be Judged when it Is said that
Sullivan, formerly OF Holy Cross, and
Tenney, the best p.ung.ng back behind
1.-THE Brown University line last fall, are
Irregular membera of the A. & y back
field. Van Brockin, the enc era Started
Ito play so brilliantly for ssr..e atov,n las
season, Is holding down t..s uiace at
lquarterback.
i One of the A. & NJ. Players ~ ~as
there g few days ago, was asked ~, van
lBrockiin was being played at aIa.ter-
hack when he was such an exceptionally
} good end. This was the reply: because
We have so many good ends'' Knowins

help Tut wonder how good the others
. must be.
