brought up in the hard school conducted
ty Glenn Warner, believes in plenty of
work and he is driving his players for
all they can stand. The result is cx-
pected to show Georgetown's honors
defended by the best eleven in its his,
tory.
Is to be given signals and plays OF its
own. Charli Cox. graduate manager at
the Hilltop. has been asked by Coach
Exendine to handle the second eleven.
and Cox means to make something of
his players. For one thing. he is going
to make them fight, every man of them.
He expects to lose many of his best
men, for. as he says. they'll go in
there and show up the varsity so much
that Exendine will have to take them
over to his own squad"
Competition for end berths bids fair
to become more and more strenuous as
the season advances. Today 'Toddy'
Gessler and Sill Pauxtis are holding
down the wings on the varsity. but their
tenure will last only so long as they
are able to fight off other competitors;

the big games last year, has reported,

worth Then. too, Corcoran, last year s

seen on Georgetown Field. AS soon as
his injured ankle stops bothering him
he will return to the squad and get
down to business. Cronin, the Man.
chester, N H.. boy. is another promls-
ing candidate for end.
Sill Pauxus has lead over all other
end candidates on account OF his kick
ing ability He has had Ilenty of eX-
rerieEce, too, having played at Dickin-
son. and this stands out in his work
He seems fast down the field. deadly
tackler and hard to box on swinging

and rather lanky, but we'll PUT together
at that He is punting around fifty
yards every afternoon. and. while. 1t -
not good right now. his direction is
sure to improve under coaching:
Gessler. who resembles greatly his
brother Harry. the old Washington
baseball player, is stockily built and
fast on his feet. In meeting attacks
he plows right in relying on the speed
of his rush and his weight. Gessler
tips the beam at 10 pounds and is all
there in the daily practice.
The final makeup of the line is a
problem not easily settled. and Coach
Exendine will have to see the men In
action more than once before making
his final selection. Several more play
ers are expected to report during the
week for line positions. and they may
change the entire face of the situation.
ON. thing is asSured-the Georgetown
forwards will be beefy and fairly fast.
The best man in the bunch so far Is
Pat Gormley, last years star at Catho-
lie University. Gormley combines as
tonishing speed with his % pounds. fire.
