HUGH GOLDEN LOOMS
UP At. GEORGETOWN
Track Star Looks Almost Ger
tain to Play Left HaIfback on
Varsity Eleven.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Hugh Golden. a dark horse among
the candidates for the backfield at the
Hilltop. has come into his own, and
from now on will be considered first
string halfback. sharing this honor
with Capt. Freddie Murray Golden is
a track man. one Of the speediest lads
spring. and on this account is going to
give all other candidates a tough battle
for the position at left halfback.
In Saturdays clash at the Hilltop
Golden was the individual star. He was
the best runner on the field. picked bis
holes we'll. and, once out from the
bunch. showed his heels by sheer speed
to every other player in the game. IT
was Golden who generally took the pall
Tor the touchdowns. and he showed
unmistakable intelligence in diving into
the right place for these scores
Yes. guess we've found a halfback,
all right" murmured Coach Exendtne
on the sidelines, as he watched the
track star fighting and plowing his way
down the field for the varsity.
Georgetown's weakness thus far this
season has been its slowness. particu-
larly in the backf1eld. The backs could
not seem to get off their feet. slowing
up the offense considerably. Saturday
marvellous change has taken place IN
this respect, for the backs were quick
to charge and hard to stop, once they
hit the scrimmage line. Putttns
Noark. the former Ursinus star. al
seems to have given the Blue and Gray
just what 1t needed-speed.
Two more lads made excellent i'm
pressions Saturday. Campbell at end
for the varsity and McKenna. sent to
center for the scrubs. Campbell has
been playing tackle and end all sea-
son, sometimes on the scrub and some
times on the varsity. He has made his
strongest showing against Tom CORN
ley. the big varsity tackle. thus earn
ing a chance on the first eleven. Sat
urday Campbell was placed at right
end on the varsity and he proceeded
to prove his worth. The way he smash
ed into plays. upsetting interference
like so much cardboard, was pretty
to watch. He looks now like the first
choice for the position in the game
at Richmond Saturday against Wash
ington and Lee.

urday. He admitted he was there to
see something. but also admitted tha
he failed to see what he wanted. Ell

Blue and Gray tough struggle next
Saturday.
