Georgetown Facing
Bitter Test in Clash
With Hegarty's Stars
Rber Contest Should Be Most Thrilling of Season at Hilltop to
Date Both Sides Being Confiden-Vsitors Star Backs
Opposed to Powerful Line.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Georgetown faces bitter test to-
day at the Hilltop. No team, not
even Pittsburgh or Washington and
Lee, has brought such heavy guns to
oppose the Blue and Gray as have
the North Carolina Aggies, who bat
tie the West Enders at 8 o'clock to-
day on Georgetown Field. Yet Cap
tain Murray says that Georgetown
will win. He doesn't say just how,
but he knows that victory will perch
upon the Blue and Gray banners
when nightfall comes.
On the other hand, Jack Hegarty,
coach of the Aggies, has much the
same idea about winning. He thinks
that Tenney, Van Brocklin, Riddick,
and Townsend will pound their way
through the gigantic forwards they
have at the Hilltop.
However it works out, Washington
football lovers are convinced that TO-
davis gridiron clash is the best Of
fered this season so far.
Georgetown has found itself. Even
with a couple of regular men on the
sidelines or crippled with injuries, the
Blae and Gray is today stronger thah
st auy time this season. The eleven
thu. went down to defeat before Navy,
Washington and Lee. and Pittsburgh
has suddenly discovered how to win'
and IL is this knowledge that Coach
Erendine counts upon today to carry
his team to victory.
