Coach Exendine Teaches Hill
toppers Special Defense for
the Forward Pass.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Georgetown is going over to Annapolis
Saturday intent on giving the Navy
eleven one of the strongest arguments
of the 1914 season. The Hilltoppors,
benefiting by their clash with the
the service players a strong game and,
If luck comes their way, to win.
II the Navy ina gineS that n forward
pass will defeat the Elue and Gray, d
surprise may be in store for the Middies.
Coach Exendine is teaching his athletes
defense for the type of forward pass
used by the Navy and he expects it to
succeed. Yesterday half an hour was
used simply in drilling the HilltOppcrS
to meet the Navy's forward pass.
When Georgetown lines UP against
the Middies Saturday. one of the strong
est teams ever representing the Hilltop
pers will be in the lineup. The same
forwards and ends that played Ford
ham will be in the game. but there may
be a change or two in the Dackheid.
Foley will be "a quarter. with Captain
Freddie Murray at right half. but Bill
Joyce, the former Bates College star
halfback. may replace Landreau. Joyce
has shown in practice that he Is
valua BILE. shifty halfback and Coach
EXendine is thinking of running him
i'm against the Middies. Charlie F'ltz-
gerald may be replaced. too. by Wies-
ser, GeorgetoWn's crack quarter miller.
However, this last change is yet to be
determined.
The probable lineup against the Mid
dies follows Left end. Gesslcr: left
tackle. Ward; left guard. COnwen or
O'Gorman: center, Mckenna; right
guard Barron; right tackle. Gormley;
right end Pauxtis; quarterback. Foley;
left halfback. Joyce or Landr"au: right
halfback, Murray; fullback. Fitzgerald
or Wiesser.
Several likely players at the Hilltop
may find themselves in the Navy game.

of the year comes a week from Satur-

is some kick.
Lafayette has n likely youngster in

year. In the Delaware game Saturday
Toll intercepted a forward pass and
ran sixty-one yards for a touchdown.
Harvard is using its ends to carry the
ball from regular formations. thus Civ
ing the Crimson five backs. Coach
Haughton is again using the so-calIed
"pin-wheer' play. shooting an end
around the opposite wing. In this move
ment Hardwick is now carrying the
ball. but both ends are to be trained
in the play.
