The Washington times., 1914-11-24

"Alibi Mike" is what Bob Folwell,
coach of the Washington and JEFF
ferson eleven, is being called at the
Hilltop since he complained that
Georgetown played the toughest
game he ever saw" last Saturday. In
deed, the Blue and Gray authorities
claim that their varsity players were
assaulted from the very first scrim-
mage and that. if they returned any
of this medicine, it was only in
self-defense. Furthermore, rumor
is running around that -Folwell be-
lieved he could take out his regulars
after the first period and save them
for the Bucknell and Rutgers
games coming later. When George
town put up such defensive argu-
ment that he was forced to keep his
regulars in the lineup, he began
complaining.
"Folwell is fine one to emit such
howls after the game his team put
up Saturday." said one leader at the
Hilltop today. "If memory is cor
rect, Folwell played on one of the
toughest teams Pennsylvania ever
had. He has taught his w. and j..
eleven how to play the same game.
They showed that Saturday"
AS a result Of the big clash at the
Hilltop. Georgetowns forwards are Il
hard-iooling bunch. Ward has one
black eye. Barron mouth is cut. SO
is that OF Petritz, the varsity center.
Mahlum's eye is closed. Tom Gormley
looks as if he had come through a rail
road accident.
Georgetown's players claim that W.
and J. started TO pull rough stuff"
IN the first sCrimnage Cruikshank

ing Off men behind the plays, even
when Georgetown had the ball. BoVill

take a couple of long forward passes,
swung on couple of Hilltoppers with
malice aforethought.
'Folwell is injuring US in spreading
this story of TOughness around the
country said one Hilltop authority.
He knows his reason Just because
he found Georgetown a tough prUpo-
sition, he says we We're rough and un-
sportmanlike. Two Pittsburgh writers
came down with the W. and J. eleven,
and they were maHifestly unfair in
their stories Sunday. According to
them, ". and J. was perfectly innO-
cent. A. matter Of fact. a majority
Of the penalties were against w. and
J.. and most Of them for rough play"

GalIauOct varsity eleven IS WORKING
hard in preparation for the game Thurs
day at the Hilltop. and the Kendall
Greeners think they have a line chance
10 fool Georgetown. They are banking
on the Blue and Gray team being sadly
Ftinened by the W. and j. conflict.
Coach Crafts has a number OF special
formations for use against Georgetown,
and. Judging from the manner in which
they work in practice, they may cause
ENcnGinc's athletes no little trouble.
"GalIaudet has q good football team
and has played good football all sea-
sou" says Coach Crafts. just be
cause Georgetown held ". and J. so
well does not mean that we are TO be
demolished. Saturdays game took
lot out of the Iiilltoppers, remember,
and they may find GallaUdet the hard
Ost kind OF opposition"
Georgetown, too. is not claiming much
