Georgetown Practices Forward Passes Use Against W. & Sad

shape than in any previous contest
this season.
The play of Fitzgerald at guard for
Georgetown in the scrimmage yester-
day was very noteworthy. He did some
brilliant work on the defensive, charg-
ing through time after time and get
ting the runner.
Coach Exendine of Georgetown was
more than impressed with the strength of
the Washington and Jefferson eleven in
the contest in which he saw that team
defeat West Virginia Wesleyan by 50 to 6
last week. Said Exendine
Ihey nave real team out there, and
there's nothing f1uky about the way it
mas been winning. That team is strong
in every way: it's one of the best I've
ever SEEM.
And Graduate Manager Charley Cox
was OF about the same opinion. He said :
washington and Jefferson not only has
one OF the strongest elevens I have ever
seen In my whole foot ball experience,
but it has bunch of second string men
VINO are little. if any, inferior to the reg
uiars. Ihat team is good at everything
IS well drilled and has some of the great
est players ever developed"
The game scheduled for Thank sgiving
between Washir gtcn and Lee and
North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanlcal College is mighty likely to
he one of the hardest battles of the
season. A. and NJ. and W. and L. are
both strong. and they. probably are the
heaviest combinations representing any
south Atlantic institution. Also they
nave in their backfields two of the most
carable players in the south-Young
and Tenney. Young is the star half
back to Washington and Lee. and Ten
neE is rated as the greatest plungiug
pack the section has known in many
years and possible in its entire history.
The defeat of the North Carolina lAg-
rlcultural and Mechanical College last
Saturday undoubtedly came as u great
surprise to its supporters, but it is eV1-
dence of a fact that has not been gem
orally recognized here previous to this
tlme-that the Virginia Polytechnic IN
stltute has the strongest eleven that
has represented it in years. and is
again in position to battle on even
south Atlantic section. When v p. J..
played Washington and Lee a to z
game it was generally felt that it was
more or less of a luck-out, but since
it Won from North Carolina A. and NJ.
and prevented its goal line being cross
cellent performance on both occasions
must be given it.
Every student at Technical High will
be out today to aid the team rep
resenting that school on the last lap
of it's fight for the high school cham
pionship. The Manual Trainers have
only to win from Business, with which
they are to play their last contest in
the series. and that they are likely
to do. Business probably will prove too
light in the line for effective offensive
work, while it will be very difficult for
it is prevent Technical scoring one or
two touchdowns and probably more.
OF course. there is the chance that the
Stenographers will prove a surprise, as
did Western against Central, but that
is not expected.
George Green's st. Adams team must
have gone wild Saturday in defeating
the Dunham team, from Baltimore, by
more than ninety points. 1t is seldom
that a prep school eleven wins by such
a big margin, and the chances are it is
pretty nearly a record for such games.
Coach Green deserves a lot of credit
for having developed as capable an
eleven as he has turned out this sea-
SON The ST. Adams aggregation prob
ably would give the best of scholastic
teams in this section a hard run for
victory, and it is about the best COM
bina ton that has ever represented the
school.
