Georgetown and the Maryland Aggies
have the start on the other local foot ball
SQUADS. The former has had a fairly
good squad working out since last Mon
day and the latter have put in three days
of rather hard practice, while the other
colleges have not yet had their teams
otu Neither of these two schools have
had their men working long enough 10
get definite idea as to their exact
strength. but both have undoubtedly Sc
cured a fair line on the probable make
up of their teams.
With a single change or probably two.
the Georgetown eleven will go on the
field this year just as il did last. There
is little need for pessimistic feelings among
the followers OF the Blue and Gray.
Every factor seems to Indicate that ii

strong as In 1912. which means that the
team win face every South Atlantic col
lege on it's schedule the favorite.
The problem the Hilltoppers must solve
is to find two tackles capable OF filling
the places left vacant by White, Rhein-
child and Hegarty. OF course, that Is
going TO be a difficult matter, because
each of those three was an exceptionally
good man. 1t would take a prep school

who were lost. But while the team may
be little weaker at the tackles than last
year. there is no doubt that il will In
crease It's strength in other positions SUI
ficently to make UP for IL.
There are several men certain TO show
improved form this season, and their
work ought more than to overbaiance
any losses of strength I'm the tackles

in his second season than in his first.
Not only will these men do much better
work. all things being favorable, hut all
the other men should show at Least a
little better form because of the greater
experience they have had. Even for Cos

The coaches have as Yet not determined
what line.up they will use in the first
game but from the way the men have
been used in the work so far II would
