NOTRE DAME TUESDAY

Hailed by northern college baseball
coaches as the strongest aggregation OF
ball tossers which Georgetown has sent
North in recent years. Coach Danny
coogan's nine are in fine fettle for the
game with Notre Dame on Tuesday.
Returning with 81 victory over Holy
Cross, a 1o-1 win from Yale. fourteen
inning ~ tie with Vermont. and with
the only defeat of the trip by the Army,
81. Coach Googan considers that his men
did remarkably well considering the long
Jumps and heavy travelling.
Capt Feinle twiried splendid game
against the University of Vermont, but
was opposed by Malcolm, a man of his
own calibre who is rated among the best
In college circles, with the result that
It was nip and tuck all the way. Tyson

Tor the bad beating Yale administered

back against Holy Cross, holding the
hard hitting Worcester bunch who took

The game with Notre Dame promises

and has only been beaten once in his
Tour years of collegiate ball. the single
lefeat being administered by Michigan
this year. Incidentally. this is the only
game which Notre Dame has dropped

Googan will send Feinle to the slab to
oppose Kelly. SO alright ball should re-

In fact, Coogan is greatly enthused
over the showing of his club and in a
lays ago he told the students that the
present Georgetown nine was the best
college ball team, as a whole and in
iividually, which he has been associated
n his long experience as a college base
ball solon-
He is especially pleased with the per-
.orrnance of the three youngsters on his
.eam, Shugrue and Mccarthy in the out
ield, and Billy Martin at shortstop. All
lave been playing stellar ball. McCar-
ny and Shugrue were both developed
asst year and are fulfilling the promise
hey then gave and are not only fielding
veil but are hitting consistently and
hard. At short. Martin is playing an ex-
.eptionally fast game, covering lot of
ground, and is pegging very well. getting
The ball of fast from any position.

Esne- Beside him at third, Jack Con-
holly acts as a sort of balance, being
ready and reliable. and by his cool
presence is the infield's biggest asset in
tight situation. Far from fashy, tiny
lack lets mighty few fast slashes slip
through his territory, while at the bat
he can generally be depended upon to
sone through in a pinch. In the terrific

holly started of thu fCsillade of six sue
'essive hits, which brought the six runs
,vcr the pan which meant victory.
The team is hitting well. and IL the
pitchers keep up the pace they have
let the last few games. Georgetown will

With pretty near a clean slate.
