He is said TO be an excellent runner IN
tackle, with a world of natural ability
defense of the Manchester eleven an
regular tackles job on the Hilltop.
Scarcely less prominent are the Car
lin brothers, Ray and Paul Both held
down backfeld positions on the Brook
lyn Prep eleven and received places on
the all-scholastic combination picked
for that city. Ray is short, stocky and
dark and Paul is tall, slender and has
light hair. One OF the critics writing of
interscholastic foot ball in Brooklyn said
that Paul was one of the three best
backs in the prep and high schools of
the city.
Heaphy, center at Somerville High,
also Is wearing a Blue and Gray uni
form Everybody familiar with his
play against scholastic clevens IS pre-
dieting that he will come mighty near
making regular berth at center at
Georgetown. His most brilliant play
was against the De Paul Academy of
Chicago in an intersectlonal struggle.
Pat Finnegan is another lad who did
some fine work at tackle on one Of the
New York scholastic combinations
These are the most prominent of the
new men from whom Coach Exendine
will build part of his varsity. Yester-
ing we'll satisfied with what the young
sterS had shown, so far as he could tell
by what had already been done. 1t
was his opinion that the prospects for
another strong combination are good.
While the Hilltop team probably will
j not be SO heavy as that of last year. plen-
| ty of material for a formidable aggrega-
ton now is in sight. Gilroy and Nc
| Quade about as good running half
| backs as any college would want. They
| played left and right. respectively. in
| 1916 and the big scores made attest their
worth in advancing the ball. Gilroy got
more touchdowns than any other player
| In the country. Maloney is back again to
| take care OF his quarterback position.
| That leaves only one vacant backfield
| job. and if Leighty and Wall do not re-
| turn Exendine ought not to have a great
| deal of trouble filling the gap when he
has such players as the Carlin brothers
! and Hampton TO pick from. Whelan Will
| play his old position at right end and
| Zuger is back for his berth at guard.
Ahern, one of the new men, is sure to
| make good at tackle.
! Right now. provided Wall and Leighty
do not return, there are open positions
! at fullback. two guards. one tackle and
! one end. Among the new material, some
good players for these places are in sight
| and every year the law school furnishes
| two or three men way above the average.
| All now out for the eleven, except Ma
| loney, are undergraduates in the college.
| but the squad will be made much larger
when 1t is able to draw candidates from
| the law school, which does not open until
| October.
| Maryland State expects to get fair
sized squad out tomorrow Only eight
men have reported for practice yet
but others will be dropping In almost
every day from now on. So far Fletcher
left halfback, is the only letter man OF
the 1916 squad who is out Jamie Smith
quarterback, was at the college yesterda y
| and said that he hoped soon to get out of
| the Naval Reserve on furlough to return
| to college. Coster. knode, Axt. Rich
| Aicheeon Ternett and two or three other
| members of the squad of 1916 are due
back tomorrow or Tuesday and several
| others will follow them shortly. Rich
| will do very little practicing for awhile, as
| he is busily engaged in getting Off a
couple Of conditions.
