The Washington herald., 1914-10-22

Georgetown's football team was put
through its last gruelinG scrimmage yes
terday in preparation for the game in
Pittsburgh against the university by
that name next Saturday.
The addition of Petritz and Kelley to
the varsity ranks has made vast I'M
provement in the team. MCkenna, the
former center. who is now playing full
back. also looks good and Coach EXen-
dine believes that he has finally hit upon
the right backfield combination.
Tom Curry, the stocky little linesman
Of last years team, has decided not to
come out, acting upon the advice OF
physician. Curry is still bothered with
a weak knee.
1t has been definitely decided to start
Petritz and Kelley next Saturday. Just
how long these men will stand the gan
remains to be seen, as they have not
had the advantage in training accorded
the others.
DESPITE the fact that Georgetown's ends
were weak against Washington and Lee
last week. Bill Cusack and Pautis will
more than likely be on the job against
Pittsburgh.

Catholic University.
Catholic University will not be seen in
action Saturday but will enjoy short
layof in an effort to recover wholly
from the slight injuries to some of its
players received in the Villanova game
Of last Saturday.
VIllanova presented a powerful eleven
here last week, outweighing the Brook
landers by a wide margin and while none
Of the local men were seriously hurt,
several bruises were the rsult of the
game against their heavy opponents
Although a game with Albright could
have been arranged by Manager Walsh
for the coming Saturday. Coach Madden
thought it wise to remain idle in order
to have his men in the best Of shape
for the game with Gettysburg which has
been scheduled for Saturday, October
81. on the strength of Mount St Mary's
cancellation which game was to have
been played on that day.
The Getty eleven is one Of the best
ever represented by that institution,
having held the University of Pennsyl-
vania to two touchdowns a few weeks
ago and with Catholic University i'm
proving with each days workout, it is
expected that a good game will result.
