"Hold that BALI" is the slogan at
the Hilltop these days. Those var
sity candidates who can't cling to
the smooth hide Of the probate
spheroid are to get short shrift at
the hands Of Coach Exendine. The
weakness of the. 1914 backield was
it's inability to hold the ball. This
weakness lost at least two big
games, and the tall tutor at the
Hilltop is determined that some
other reason will have to be given
for defeats this fall.
While the backfield candidates at
Georgetown have made excellent impress
sions thus far. their weakness in hold
ing the ball Is worrying the coaches.
Such weakness will be fatal In the
clash with Princeton Saturday. and
when Coach Exendine picks his team to
start that game. he will leave on the
sidelines all those young men afflicted
with butter fingers"
