Catholic University eleven, should do
some mighty good work for the Brook
landers this season He PLAYED well
Gormley, the most dependable man in
the line. He is aggressive, is faster
| than the usual lineman. and works
with judgment.
player who probably will figure to
a large extent in the work of the
Catholic University quint this year is
nical High. He has been doing some
good work at halfback in practice,
having proved the most successful
ground gamer. He seems to be hitting
backs, and is playing SO well that he
bids fair to be somewhat of star
for the Red and Black.
Bumps Turner. who played tackle
for the rigilants last season, and cap
tanned the eleven. has entered the North
Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical
College. Turner is pretty sure to make
good at A. and NJ. according to reports
of his capabilities, being heavy and
fast enough to hold position on al
plays intelligently, if the opinion of
those who followed his performances
with the vigilants last season counts
for anything.
The Vigilants. the semi-pro eleven
that has been playing Sunday games
here for the last three years, are to
open their season Sunday with a game
against the battleship Michigan eleven.
The Michigan is now stationed at
Philadelphia, and the team will come
! from that city.
Dave White, the former Georgetown
| fullback, is in charge Of the VigilantS
again.
| The Technical High and Maryland
Agricultural College teams engaged in
| a Yesterday
more than an hour. The teams took
| turns carrying the ball, no attempt
being made TO play a regular contest
! There was lot OF ragged work done
| by both elevens, though the play of
| the Farmers was somewhat improved
over that of last Saturday: Tech made
a lot of gains and carried the ball
across the Farmers goal three times.
Tech has some good material for
certain positions. thought it is rather r
weak In places. Wayne Hart. himself
played football in the south. is devel-
oping a strong defense and offense.
though a lack Of scrimmage has been
his greatest handicap so far He has
to insure two full elevens each day,
and consequently the practice has
been rather desultory. There is no
doubt, though. that Tech is going to
series. provided ther. can be gotten up
a little more spirit among the fellows.
Central. Techs greatest rival. is the
eleven that the Manual Trainers had
better watch pretty closely this sea-
son They barely did defeat the Blue
and White year ago. when they had
an exceptionally heavy aggregation.
Central. in contrast to Techs small
squad, has almost three teams out
daily. a sufficient number to guaran-
tee them all the practice they desire.
Central has back nearly all the regu
lars of 1913, and those boys put up
brilliant contest against Techs pom
derous eleven. Tech is going to be
much lighter this season, and it will
have comparatively much harder
task to hand the Blue and White
defeat.
Joyce. Golden and Wieser compose
mighty fast backtield for the Hilltop
pers Joyce has not been seen in
action in a regular contest but it is
well known that Golden and Wieser
are exceptionally speedy. Wieser ran
on the relay team, while Golden has
had success as a hurdler If Joyce is
as fast as he has been credited, that
will be a combination of exceptional
worth. if speed is the main factor to
| be considered.
