CATHOLIC u. VS.. AGGIES

Following the remarkable showing of
the Georgetown University football
eleven to date with a to victory over
the Navy and holding the Princeton tt
gers to thirteen points, one of the
largest early season crowds in the his
tory Of the institution Is expected to be
on hand this afternoon to see the Blue
ana Gray open Its home schedule with
the Reina Mercedes.
Contrary to advance reports Coach
Exendine will start the same line-up
that opened the contest with the Navy
last Saturday with the exception of
Gormley. who will be placed at right
tackle In OConnor's stead. However,
many second-string men are likely to be
called upon as the combat progresses.
That the Reina Mercedes will offer
strong resistance is evident through the
fact that In several scrimmages with the
Navy they have shown to advantage in
many departments of the game, and
while Georgetown Is expected to win
rather handily the training ship men are
very apt to prove worthy opponents.
An unusual courtesy will be extended
on the part Of the officials today at the
Hilltop. With the aid of a direct wire
attached to the bleachers the score of
the Boston-Philadelphia game will be
gwen out at the end of each inning
The admission is so cents. which entities
the bearer to any seat on the<feld.
John A. Dugan will referee with Bryan
Morse as umpire and Tom Curry head
linesman.
The crucial local intercollegiate game
Of the season Is scheduled to be played
today at the Brookland Field, when Cath
olic University and the Maryland Aggies
take the field at p. m. The Brookland-
ers. under the coaching of Fred Nelson,
the former Georgetown crack, promise
to put up the greatest fight yet given by
an eleven representing that school, and
the local followers Of the sport at the
Brookland institution have quite a treat
In store for them. Coach Nelson in Sc
lectfnG the men to start the game today
against the Aggies hasselected Frank
Greer. the former Eastern High School
center Of this city, and who last year
was the wall of defense for the Catholic
High School in Philadelphia for the full
back position. 1t is hard to say what
kind Of a showing Greer will make in
his new position, but II Is a safe bet that
he must have shown much promise to be
named as member Of the backfeld.
The Gallaudet squad ended a severe
weeks training with a signal drill and
punting practice yesterday afternoon,
and Coach Hart considered the men to
be In at least fair shape for a hard game
with V. M. /. at Lexington, Va, today.
Marshall. the man who carried the ball
over Georgetown's goal line last year,
was back In his old position at end, and
Scott Cuscaden announced that he would
trysto play the game. despite the doc
tors orders. That gave Gallaudet's pros
poets big boost and they should face the
cadets on just about even terms
Gallaudet will line up as follows:
Treuke. left end: Martin, left tackle:
Davis, left guard; Thompson, left center;
Ferguson. right guard: Cuscaden. right
tackle: Marshall. right end; Kendall, left
halfback; Kelley, right halfback; Clas-
sen. full back. Substitutes: Rasmussen,
A. Wenger. Peard. Pilliod. and Capps.
