eighth wonder as foot ball player
can hope for Nahum, captain OF tho
eleven, undoubte lly will be PACK az
his regular line position. guard. Wnile
enough to hold their places at left end
and right tackle against all corners.
1t Is for the other places on the line
that the real battles will develop. a.,
Catholic University loses both its
tackles. Kerr and Killion; Fullback BIZ
Butler. Left End McCue and possibly
both guards, Lee, who was at le1t
guard. has finished his work, and 1t Is
understood that Costakis, right guard,
is not intending to return to college.
From last years eleven the Brookland-
ers have back Right End Mckinney,
Center Murphy. Quarterback Shortley,
halfback Rogers and Halfback JACK
Butler. There was question about Kerr
cies in scholastic work. kfllion will be
back. but has played his four years
There were splendid substitutes for
some of the positions last season, and
1t is said that new material Of excep-
tional capa bilities Is to enter.
G. W. q. to Have New Team
George Washington will have to build
its team entirely from new material,
consequently Its prospects for sue
cessful season are simply prospects. It
has not one thing from a previous year
on which to build. and even IL the men
out for the squad are exceedingly good
players the task of rebuilding at the
downtown institution is not easy, to
say the least. Among those of most
experience who are I'd be out for the
team are Miller, former Yale player;
Mudd. star lineman at the MARYLAND
State College four years ago, and sew
eral scholastic athletes of much prom
Use.
Ga1laudet loses Martin. one Of it's best
linemen: Cuscaden, another star for
ward: Rockwell, halfback and quarter
back: Classen, fullback; Kelley and
Kendall. halfbacks. 1t is not so diff
cult to develop linemen in foot ball,
but to replace practically whole back
If it maintains the standard Of the last
three seasons, will surprise those in
close touch with the situation.
The Maryland State College has back
every member of its line. but probably
will lose three of it's backfeld players.
OF the quartet that held down the places
behind the line 1t is possible, and very
probable. that only Speer will return.
knode graduated, and Hart and Shank
are not likely to return. Rich. Derrick
and Coggins who held down the ends
year ago. will be back. as will Murrell,
kishpaugh and Tarbutton. guards. and
Oberlin and Posey, tackles. OF the
numerous substitutes for last seasons
eleven. not one win be missing. Roger
and Arthur. substituting at quarter and
half. were the most promising.
The first practice at GEORGETOWN is to
be held Wednesday. Catholic University
will get out it's squad the latter part of
the week The Maryland State College
men are to meet for the first workout
Tuesday afternoon. George Washington
plans to get it's squad under way Mon
day. September is. and Gallaudet lit

The coaching system at three Of the

Catholic University eleven. Albert Ex-
endine again is in charge of the George
