DANNY COOGAN AND
! F|ENLE ARE ELAUDED
Since Getting Into Shape Hill
toppers Have Played Up to
Former Standards.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Between invasion of a foreign coun.
try for the ordinary readers and six
teen clubs iockeying for positions al
the outset of a season that holds un.
limited possibilities for real sport
Washlngtonians have apparently over
looked the fact that across Rock
Creek there is a baseball team thai
has done surprisingly well in the in
tercollegiate ranks.
When the call tor talent was sounded
during the early spring it appeared as
though Georgetown would have only a
mediocre team. Several OF the men
who had done valiant service in the
past had graduated and the newcomers
were not sufficiently impressive to jus
tify the feeling that the Blue and
Gray was in for anything more than
an ordinary season.
Rain and a late spring further added
10 the worries of those in charge. I'm
til after the Holy Cross game on April
Z, the squad got in practically no real
outdoor practice. The men were kept
working in the gymnasium, still, at
best this was poor substitute to
conditioning on Georgetown field. Some
of the northern teams on their south
ern trips had gone so far into Dixie
that they were able to show here IN
comparatively good shape, giving them
a distinct advantage over the west
enders.
Taking all these matters into consid-
Grafton, Georgetown has Just reason for
being satisfied and proud OF this rec

While il is often invidious to single
out for special praise any individuals
of an athletic combination that is so
dependent upon team work for its SUE
cess, those most closely concerned with
Georgetowns successes are strong in
giving credit to Coach Danny CUcGal
and Capt. Chris F'ienle.
Each man in the squad comes in for
his need of appreciation and congratu-
lation. but ii was the captain and the
coach who worked hardest when things
appeared darkest Coogan won honors
in coaching the teams of Cornell for
yEaiE but he considers the present
Georgetown team as one Of the best
rounded with which he has ever been
connected.
Several of the wins of the season have
teen scored with Fienle performing 'iI
the box while otherwise he has made an
excellent leader for an undeTgradua te.
A northern writer. who saw the team
IN action, sad Georgetown has one Of
the very strongest aggregations ia the
country The record and general aD-
pearance of the team would seem to
make this favorable criticism none to
strong
