as to Weight and Height,
According to Figures.
TARHEELS CONFIDENT
Coach Hesarty Expects to Win. While

Same Way.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Georgetown's big football game Of the
season will be played here this afternoon
against Carolina A. and NJ. coached by
Jack Hegarty. q former Hilltop star.
Much will depend on the outcome of
this battle. A decisive victory for George
town will have a distinct bearing upon
the Southern championship, while de-
feat for the Hilltoppers will practically
eliminate Georgetown from all claims to
the title.
Coach Hegarty and his bunch OF Tar
Heels arrived late last night. and from
the statistics obtained. which are printed
In another column. Georgetown outweighs
the Carolinlans slightly in the line. but
the visitors have the heavier back field.
As a matter of fact. there Is little ad-
vantage TO be gained by either team. ac-
cording to the statistics. so the game
must resolve itself into the question Of
Which team has the best attack. best
defense, and knows the most football"
Indications point to rain and a heavy
field. and this may handicap Georgetown.
for the Hilltoppers thus far have been
favored with a dry surf and their ability
to play in the mud Is not known.
According to Coach Hegarty. the Caro-
lima Aggies are great mud horses and
would welcome a sloppy Eridiron. Mr..
Hegarty may be accommodated In this
respect.
That the game itself should be a close
one, all previous dope so points. Both
teams have beaten the Navy, both ag-
gregations are heavy. fast, and know
the game from A to z.
The writer believes that Georgetown
will win by at least one touchdown. for
the reason that GeorEetown's record so
far is better than Carolina's. On the
other hand. Jack Hegarty's bunch may
spring a big surprise, uncorking lot
of plays which cannot be fathomed.
1t is doubtful If the Tar Heels will be
able to stop Pete Wall and Johnny Gill
roN both Of whom have been consistent
ground gamers all season. while, on the
other hand the Hilltoppers' veteran line
and stone wall secondary defense should
be able to cope with CarOlina's attack.
For Carolina there is one young man
in the backfield who is bound to gain
considerable ground. Sullivan, at right
half hack. is the athlete In question.
Sullivan can hit the line or skirt the
ends and possesses the faculty of keep
ing his feet at all times. Georgetown
knows this. and Sullivan will be watch
ed whenever Carolina has the ball. The
other Carolina backs are not feared.
In discussing today's game Coach Heg-
arty said last night: 81 am confident that
my team will win. The boys are right
give a good account Of themselves"
Coach Exendine. OF the IIilltoppers. is
equally confident. EXendine declares
that Carolina A. & ". will have to- show
more football than was recently uncork-
ed against the Navy in order to win.
1t is expected that A monster crowd
will turn out for tOday's game. The law
school students and several hundred
from the medical and dental schools are
planning to march behind a brass band
to the field and have a nice little football
song all ready to spring set TO the words,
Back to the Carolina You Tove-but
without the much-desired football used
in today's big game"
Coach Hegarty and Manager Cox got
together last night and settled all dif-
ferences regarding officials. II was
mutually agreed that Morse should ref
cree, Clark Tobin. of Dartmouth. UNI
pire: Dugan act as field judge. and Ma
guire as head linesman.
The game starts promptly at 90
o'clock
