Expected Fifty Candidates Will
Be Trying for Varsity Within
Another Week.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

GcCrgetown's varsity squad has been
augmented considerably since last week.
and now almost three elevens are On
the field. 1t is expected that fifty men
will be in uniform by next week, thus
providing plenty of substitutes for the
first team. All men in the graduate
schools who have had football training
will be brought out as candidates tor
the varsity and every man on the field
will have an opportunity of showing his
ability in actual scrimmage practice.
The squad of backs and ends is be-
coming larger every day. Yesterday 1t
was sweled by the appearance of Bill
Mccarthy. the 193-pound Boston latin
school athlete; Hugh Golden, the track
man; Carbo, King. Warner. and Bresna-
han. In addition. Corcoran. captain Of
last years Princeton Prep eleven. was
in togs, his injured ankle having re-
covered sooner than expected. He was
not given much rk. but will be tried
out thoroughly during the week.
Young Burland. the New Haven High
School center, whose defensive work
against the bulky McKenna Saturday
showed him worthy candidate for the
eleven at the Hilltop, is being tried out
now behind the line. and he has an ex-
cellent chance of landing berth.
Campbell. the tall BOY frcm winston
Academy, northampton. Mass. IS
another candidate TOR end who Will
bear watching as will Cronin, from
Manchester. y. II.
These ends and hacks look good 20
me-" chirrups Coach Exendine. May
be we'll find some stars among them.
Today S!l Pauxtis and 'TOddy' Cess
Ter are playing first string eD!s, but
they Lave by no means cinched their
places. Close behind them come Red
Cusack. Corcoran. Campbell. Cronin. and
Pass. the latter just now suffering from
a slight attack Of fever.
The first string baCkfield just now
is composed of Sam Foley at quarter.
Charlie Fitzgerald at fullback. and
Captain Murray and Landreau as
halfbaCks, but so many good lads are
in the squad that changes may be
noted any day. Bill Mccarthy. from
Boston Latin School though tackle
last year, is out to play fullbaCk,
holding down that place in yester-
DAYS signal drill He weighs 1919
pounds, but gets off his feet fast
for big man. Fitzgerald has shown
ability. though. and Mccarthy has n
tough task ahead to defeat the Bath.
Me, star fullback Graves is another
candidate for fullback who will bear
close scrutiny.
For halfba Cks RohinsChrein. Golden.
Carbo, Bresnahan. Warner. and Bur
land are to be given trials in the
daily scrimmage at the Hilltop. They
have been informed that no man on
the varsity is sure of his Job until
the day before the big games and so
they are working with might and
main.
Catholic University's squad has re
ported to Coach Madden and the out
look is far from depressing. Seven
veterans from last year are in uni
form, FIVE of them forwards. or last
years squad there are Captain Boyle.
Hincliffe. DAILY. O'Day. Kyle. Oster-
gren, and Kelly. Fifteen men are
now working. but this number Will
be more than doubled within week.
Lefty" Flynn, Yale's star fullhack
in 1912 instead of entering fordham.
is believed to have entered Rutgers.
One hundred candidates are out Tor
the freshman eleven at Dartmouth.
