GeorgetOwn Prepares
For Wesleyan Eleven

Georgetown football forces will
tackle the West Virginia Wesleyan
gridiron cohorts Saturday as the sec
ond attraction Of this season on the
home field. and as yet the Blue and
Gray squad has to earn a victory. They
are putting in extra preparations for
this game as they expect to cop the
bacon for the first time this year.
While the Hilltoppers had their col
ors dragged in the dirt when they
went up against the Pittsburgh Uni
versity aggregation last Saturday, it
was by no means a hard pill to swallow.
The Georgetown team lost only
through their players not being able
to handle the ball cleanly and deserved
a far better fate than they received.
The first team was excused from
practice yesterday by Coach ENen-
dine, but the second and third squads
were sent through a stih practice
From today on the first string players
will have hard work and when the
whistle blows for the game Saturday
Coach Exendine expects to show the
public an entirely different team, that
is. in the way Of handling the ball.
1t will be Indian tactics against In
dian tactics Saturday, as the Buckhan-
non tribe are being coached by former
players of the great Indian school
Carlisle, Frank Mount Pleasant and
Carlow. These two men were of the
finest that Glen Warner ever turned
out. and Exendine holds a similar dis
tinctiOn.
The West virginia boys came here
last year and snatched a victory away
from the HilltOppers, and this season
they are more confident of carrying OF
top honors. Georgetown will go into
the game prepared to stop any sort OF
freak formation that may be used by
the dry State" boys, and will not hold
their rivals cheap. as they did before
last years contest.
A large SQUAD from Buckhannon will
accompany the team here and head
quarters will be made at the Ebbltt
House, the same place they stopped
last season. The team is expected to
arrive in town Friday night.
Catholic University.
Coach Madden's Catholic University
football team will be put to the real test
of the season when they meet the fast
GalIaudet College eleven at Brookland
Saturday. The wearers Of the Red and
Black have improved a great deal since
the opening of the season, and in the
ViIIanova game they showed a powerful
defense.
The aggressivehess of the backfield has
been greatly improved, and the fast quar-
tet are now ploughing holes through the
scrubs line for long gains. Rogers.
Dougherty, Hinchlef and Dobbins have
been playing the positions behind the line
for the varsity, and Coach Madden Is well
satisfied with the work Of this sterling
four.
Comboy, from the freshmen class, re-
ported late last week and is showing up
better than any of the players in the fast
charging line. The quad has been cut to
thirty-fiye and the entire work this week
will be put toward rounding the team
into shape for the battle with the Buff
and Blue eleven.
Track Coach Charlie Moran. Of the
Catholic University. has a squad of
twenty-five men working out yesterday.
Frank Hyde, formerly of the Irish-Ameri-
can Athletic Club. is captain of the
Brookland cinder-path artists. and was
working hard with ten other dash men.
George Horn, Of the Baltimore Cross
Country Club, is among the best-looking
candidates fer the team. A five-mile
cross-country run will be held on the
morning Of Saturday, November I.
The Georgetown Props will play the
Eastern High School eleven on the var
sity field tomorrow. The Capitol Hill out
fit has been going at good clip since
the beating handed them by Technical
High, and is working hard for the Friday
contest with the Western eleven.
