GETOWN LOSES
ITS BRILLIANT END
Two Weeks Are Left to Prepare
for Coming Contest With w.
and ]. Eleven.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.


In achieving that tie game with
the North Carolina Aggies, the
Hilltoppers deprived themselves Of
the services of "Sil" Pauxtis for the
remainder of the campaign. The
crack right end tore loose a bunch
Of ligaments in his knee and will
hardly get off crutches before
Christmas. He is now at the George
town University Hospital, but ex-
poets to be out in few days.
Just who will succeed Pauxtis will
be determined within the next two
weeks. If "Red" Cusack fecovers
from his injuries, he will probably
go back to the left end of the varsity
line. This will leave the opposite
berth open to a stiff contest among
Campbell, Cronin, and Corcoran.
After his fine work against A. and NJ.
81 is probable that Cronin will be first
choice for a while This youngster halls
from Manchester, n. H, where he had
an excellent reputation last season on
the gridiron. His taking of a forward
pass from Calnan made ii possible for
Georgetown TO escape a defeat at the
hands of Jack Hegarty's boys and this
is sure to count for much in his favor
when the battle opens for Pauxtis' Job
at right end.
Campbell seems handicapped by his
weakness in taking forward passes. A
fine baseball player, Campbell seems
utterly unable to catch a football when
tossed to him. Coach Exendine is
working hard to have him overcome
this fault In every other way he is
the ideal end. being tall. rangy, and
most aggressive.
Corcoran is handicapped somewhat by
his lack Of weight. He is fast and
alert, but his small size may keep him
out Of the running.
Two full weeks are now ahead of the
Hilltoppers before they meet the strong
est foe on their schedule, Washington
and jefferson. Coach Exendine is not
likely to work his players very hard
for a few days, as many require a rest
after the struggle of last Saturday. In
order TO make any headway against
w. and J., Georgetown will have to
have every man on the squad strong
and ft. Second-string players may be
found very useful against the con-
ouerors of Yale and Pittsburgh.

THE SCRUB GUARDS DREAM
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

One night member of the Scrub Eleven
Dreamed that he died and spiraled up to heaven.
Upon the slab he saw his body Dead
While from its bond his battered spirit sped
On u out out through space in dizzy whrlng flight fight
Beyond the realms of Nothingness and Night,
Until at last the Gate blocked off his soul
Where good ST. Peter tends the heavenly goal.
"Who comes!" St. Peter cried "What hast thou done
That thou shouldst dwell beyond the final sun?
What is thy record prithee; pray relate
Why should not dismiss thee from the Gate?"
"On EARTH" the Soul replied, 81 was dub;
For four long years played upon the Scrub.
"And what means that" st. Peter said please tell;
That makes your soul look than those in hell"
"It MEANS" the Scrub replied in dreary tone,
"That have been the Ultimate in Bone
Day after day battled with guard
Who smeared my features all around the yard
Day after day threw my helpless form
Beneath cross tackle bucks, and when the storm
Broke over me--a wreck upon the job
The coach would howl, Get in the game, you slob!
81 answered not, but tried on all the
Cursed, jeered and hooted battered, bunged and
Kicked, roughed and beaten treated like Turk
In order that the first team might have work.
From spot to spot they slammed me in the fray
And left my gore along crimson way;
They hammered me until the skin peeled
And left in strips along the trampled field.
"And all for what? For glory for fame?
For great for honored name?
To have my picture taken-all the rage
And thrown across frenzied sporting page?
Nay, nay, good saint but rather that might
Receive the sefsame curses day and night
The sefsame snarl, the selfsame gbe and frown
To help the First Eleven snag renown.
"And so to you for make this plea
ST. Peter answer do l get the key?"
ST. Peter pondered and then shook his head.
"What difference makes it where you go?" he said
DRAFTED at last from out the earthly range,
All that you need old duffer is change;
Go seek relief around old Plutos throne
He'll will be heaven after what you've known"
