| Capt. Harry Costello. of Georgetown 8
football team. arrived in the Capital yes
terday, and was out in togs on the
Hilltop gridiron looking over the candi-
dates for the varsity eleven.
Costello is plainly discouraged The
outlook according TO the little quarter
back. is anything but promising, for the
reason that there seems to be nobody
in sight to fill two Of the most important
positions in the lines, both the tackles,
as Hegarty and White, last years men,
are lost TO the college.
| Unless some OF the new men surprise

up against II. OF half backs and ends we
have plenty OF first-class material. and
also good men for the guards and center.
but we have no candidates for the tackle
positions of the caliber of White and
Hegarty."
Costello. after spending the summer at
camp in the wiIds of Minnesota, is as
hard as nails. He has gained ten pounds
| in weight, and is anxious for the season
to start in earnest.
Football practice on the Hilltop yester-
day started in earnest. Harry Kelly,
the Buffalo high school boy who made
good in football, basketball, and base
ball, as a freshman last year, reported
for the first time. Kelly was not ex-
pected back at the Hilltop institution
and his return to school gives the

Falling on the ball, tackling. blocking,

kicks were run through under the

squad in charge
Following this. the squad was taught

well for future Improvement Petritz
started at center. Barron and CURRY at
guards, McNulty and Carlo at tackles,
and Martin and Landreau at ends. Foley
and Murray were at halves. with Kelly at
full and Costello at quarter back.

favorably Monday, also showed up well

Walsh, is a great disadvantage since II
is nearly impossible TO get the men back,

that there will be fifteen new men from
New England prep schools, Of whom
great things are expected.
One of the men who will enter the law
school shortly is Bold, from Everett
High School, in Boston. He is a tackle
weighing $50 pounds, and Is reported a
wonder. That Costello has lost none of
his famed drop kicking ability was DEM
onstrated by his performance yesterday
when he gave a remarkable exhibition
of kicking for his first day out. Cassidy
punted well, getting OF long spirals for
fifty and sixty yards consistently. Fred
Murray and Kelly ran back the punts,
but little hard tackling was permitted.
