Game in Weeks.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Georgetown today faces the strong
West Virginia Wesleyan eleven minus
he services of the sterling Blue and,
1Iray captain. Freddie Murray, the best
halfback on the squad. The little fell
'ow has not yet recovered from the ex-
hsustion caused by his heroic work
against the bulky Pittsburgh eleven
week ago. Landreau. who has played
good football several times this season,
has won the right of replacing his cap
ain and he expects to show good rea-
on for his choice.
That Georgetown cnects to avail itself
of its latest forward pass formations is
zhown by the choice of Noark. the for
.ner Ursinus star, to enter the game 3t
ullback in place of Mckenna. Noark's
orWard passes compare with the best
10 the country and. If the receivers can
rnly manage to hold on to the bali
vhen he shoots 1t, the Blue and Gray
iii tramp down the field today to their
trst touchdown of the season. How
yer, If there comes a need for fierce
defensive play behind the line or some
errifc line-plunging, McKenna will be
hot into the clash In place of Noark,
{ least for one period.
Today's game at the Hilltop will start
Ircmptly at o'clock and there is every
pronise of large crowd out to see
ne battle. The Hilltoppers have not
,layed here since the season got under
ay with Fordham as an attraction.
rince then the Blue and Gray gladi-
stors have met Navy. Washington and
ee and Pittsburgh. Today Washing
on football fans will have their first
pPortunity of seeing the eleven in ac-
non against the real opponent.
Il have every confidence that today
GEORGETOWN win make a cred:table
showing against West Virginia Wes-
leyan,' said Coach Exendine this morn
ng. The boys are disgusted with
heir failure to score SO far this season.
'erhaps they'll begin today"
We're out 10 win today, with no Ifs
or but" was, the remark of Captain
Murray. whose injuries will keep him
On the sidelines. The fellows are
leyan pay for the bad luck we've had
so far"
Wesleyan came down here last sea
on and won from Georgetown sad
aptain Shumaker. Of the Buckhannon
rlEade. and this year our team is
zen stronger than it was then. don't
% what Georgetown can have to stor
9. In these days a big. heavy line isn't
he whole thing in football. We have
few formations made especially for
uch an opponent. ! think we'll win"
My team is in good shape said
rank Mount Pleasant. head coach at
Vest Virginia Wesleyan. I'm not
aking any predictions, except to say
rat Exendine will have to show the
p, DDS, IL his team wins"
The work of the opposing lines should
great today. The hilltoppers have
ne best set of forwards in years. From
ackle TO tackle the Blue and Gray col
gians average more than 200 pounds.
Yard and Gormley are the best pair
tackles shown here in more than
We years. With John Petritz back at
inter-. fianked by Nahum and Bar
N. the center trio is composed OF
2rd. shifty. fast players all ranging
round the 200-pound mark.
On the other hand. Wesleyan has
peedy line The tacklesare prepared
heir lives. Kellison, the visiting
ackle, who does much of his teams
unting. is one Of the best men in the
ountry. Last year he proved himself
star at Georgetown, and this year is
aying even better football. However.
ard and their combat today should
= well worth seeing.
Georgetown outweighs Wesleyan, par
.rularly in the backfield. The for
ards at the Hilltop have some pounds
ct heir opponents. Only at the ends
he visitors carry more poundage
an Georgetown. Furthermore. on the
inCs Of Wesleyan may outlay George
.u'n. the Hilltop ends not being quite
CLASSY as they should be.
Behind the line Wesleyan has a brill
ant field general in Stansbury His
rte is hurting forward passes. many
them going forty yards before alight-
20 IN the arms OF an end or halfback.
aptain Shumaker is a fine running
.Elfback while Jacobs, though light,
olds his own.
Tcorgetown's backfield has been the
ause of all Exendines worry this sea-
on. though today it is expected TO
now decided Improvement. During the
rast week the coaches have insisted on
Eiping out the disastrous tendency 10
umble. and they expect the backs to
Gake q much better showing in this
espect than they did against Pitts
.Grgh. Harry Kelly is now in perfect
.ysical condition. and he should prove
. tower of strength on the attack.
