Georgetown Looks For
Stiff Game With Navy
Coach Exendine Far From Confident of Victory Sat-
urday and Players Are Like Hinton McNa-.
mara, Former Hilltopper, at Fordham
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Though Georgetown Is generally ex-
pected to win from the Middies Satur-
day. the Hilltoppers. from Coach Ex-
endine down to the latest freshman on
the scrubs team. are far from as conf
dent as one would expect.
Georgetown will have a veteran back
field quartet with which to open the
contest at Annapolis, but there vii, be
many men in the line who have yet to
start their first varsity game under the
colors OF the Blue and Gray. 4 is
this weakness that worries Coach Ex-
endine
NO one can say before a game that
his team will win It," says Coach Exen-
dine. Football admits OF too MANY
upsts for that. All 1 can say is that
Georgetown hopes to win. but expects
to fight for 1t, IL It comes"
In the first place. all Navy teams are
In perfect physical condition. In tho
second place. they all play hard foot
ball. not rough or unfair football but
always hard football. No player aver
tackled by Navy end was In doubt
about 1t. He knew he had been thrown.
and thrown hard.
The 1916 Navy team is big and strong.
The line is composed Of giants fully as
Dig as those from the Hilton. With
Westphal and Roberts to carry the bali.
the Middies will be formidable on at
tack. while their very bulk will make
them hard to defeat on defense,
FOR almost three hours the Hilltop-
pers shaved on the gridiron yesterday,
Coach Exendine driving his squad re.
i tn ,Ss scr Particular attention was paid
whatever weakness Georgetown has is
In the line.
Harry Sullivan. who played quarter
back with last years freshman eleven,
Gust Jackie Maloney from his berth AZ
varsity quarter. Sullivan. after his sea-
dillon.
Tom Mcnamara, last year with
Georgetown Is now with the Fordham
squad. He Is still a second string can
dtdate for the backfield, but Sas hopes
OF being a regular later on.
From all accounts Dartmouth Ia very
strong this season and Georgetown may
be smothered by the Hanoverians In
Haverhill, Mass, on October H. Boston
College never had a chance last Satur-
day. scoring its touchdown only on a
blocked kick close to the Green's goal
line.
Eddie briggs has started Off we'll for
Princeton. His punting and running
against Holy Cross sayored OF mid
season stun.
The Georgetown squad will leave for
Annapolis at 10 o'clock Saturday, lunch
ing at the Naval Academy and taking a
short walk before climbing into uni
forms for the contest with the Mid
dies. Graduate Manager Charles r. Fox
and Manager Tom Egan will be in
Charge of the invasion.
George Washington's first home game
should bring out many enthusiasts. They
have all been preparing for the Hachet-
ties opening contest. seeking to get a
line on Coach suilivan's team.
When Howard Berry returns from the
Mexican border TO play halfback for
Bob Folwelfs eleven, Pennsylvania
should have a good team. Last Satur-
day slowness on the attack proved cost
ly. but when Berry starts tearing things
loose on Franklin Field. the Red and
Blue viii become twice as formidable as
It Ia now.
Penn State Is watching for the return
OF the Pennsylvania regiments from the
Mexican border. for Fred Yeager. the
veteran halfback. 10 with a cavalry
troop In Texas. Yeager is expected to
report to Coach Harlow on October s
and should be ready to play against
Pennsylvania on October q.
Last year Virginia defeated Yale. 10

the tables and make up a little on the
