Following light work today,
Georgetown's varsity squad will pre-
pare for the tough contest Saturday
against Jack Hegarty's North Caro-
lima A. and NJ. team by holding a
long scrimmage every day at the
Hilltop until Friday.
"My team did we'll Saturday
against Wesleyan" smiled Coach
Exendine today, "but it will take
even harder work than they have
had to make the same success
against the Aggies. When a team
can battle the Navy, as Hegarty's
boys did Saturday-well, that team
will take a lot of beating. There
fore, it's going to be hard work each
and every day until Georgetown is
in perfect condition"
Football sense was shown at the Hill
top in no unmistakable manner in the
Wesleyan clash. At no time this sea-
son have the Blue and Gray forwards
been so alert as they were then. Pet
ritz, Ward, Mccarthy, Barron. and
Gormley were quicker on the charge
than their opponents, and, once through
the enemy's line. apparently knew just
what to do. This alertnesS proved of
great assistance to the backfield, which
was none too good along these lines.
The ends, not reckoned on for much
Outdid themselves particularly PauXtis
OfpnSn This former Dickinson OF
was the fastest end on the field and is
certain to be first choice for the right
wing in next Saturdays game.
Now that the Hilltoppers have felt the
eXhiliaration of a touchdown. they may
be counted upon for more. The prac-
tice today, though light, should be spir-
tied. for the players one and all are
delighted with the victory over Wes-
leyan by such large figures.
Il knew somebody was going to get
beating" said Freddie Murray, the
Georgetown captain, today, and 1t went
to Wesleyan. Now the boys are going
out TO win every game from now till
the end of the season. They showed
Saturday that they had the stuff

stif muscles and joints. punting and
some walking through formations is The
card for the Georgetown squad today.
Tomorrow, however, il will be hustle
all over again.
The battle this week will be for left
guard and fullback. Mahlum's injured
wrist may keep him out of the line Sat
urday. and Mccarthy, the Big fellow
from Boston Latin, and Pat Conwell,
who started the season at the position,
will put up arguments why each should
be chosen. Mccarthy right row is first
choice. owing to Conwell's weak ankle.

make the struggle for the honors of
starting the North Carolina contest.
Both played we'll last Saturday. and the
coaches VIII hardly make any selection
