Washington. Nov. 14-GeoTge-
town University is gradually printing
herself for bigger things in foot
bali way. The record OF the team
this season has inspired the Hilltop
authorities with the belief that murs
formidable elevens should be selected
for next year
The last four games the university
had scheduled this season are as
hard as any college would want to
face, but II is predicted at the Blue
and Gray institution that next sea e
son will usher In an even harder
grind. Imagine any team meeting
Navy Georgia Tech. Boston ColleE4
and Washington and Lee in rpN
and you have some idea of the work
that the Hilltoppers had cut olt
for them during the latter part Of
the present season.
Tom Gargan, a freshman and
younger brother OF Frank Gargan.
former coach at Georgetown and
Fordham. has ousted Jimmy BucN-
lev from his position as left half
back. This decision was reached
by Coach Exendine shortly before
the departure of the team for Atlanta
for the game with Tech. Gargan' g
rise at tseorgataNn MAS rapid. lie
reported late but was in good phys,
ical condition and soon convinced
the coaches that he is a born foot
hail player In the game against
Delaware College Gargan got his
first real chance to demonstrate his
ability ana he got away for several
long runs, ......,.. ....,..... -.
The defeat Of the university at the
hands of the University Of Detroit
was possibly the best thing trat could
have happened to the Blue and GRAY,
The team had enjoyed easy sailing
for the FIRST part Of the season AMI
there was not the logged, grim re-
solve in the workouts of the team
that coaches like TO see, Georgetown
went to Detroit confident of runntn ,
up n whale OF a score against the
western Jesuits That they failed ut
terly and in addition suffered the
modification OF defeat proves con-
clusively that no football opponent
should be held lightly.

served the war hero. who had come
to Washington from his home in De-
troit to be decorated by the Prince
of wales. Costello was as strong and
husky looking as when ne starred
for Georgetown. as youthful In ap-
pearance as when he booted that last
field goal that beat Virginia in the
last engagement between the two
elevens.
Captain Costello was decorated
three times in Europe for bravery
He was in command Of company OF
Michigan iufantrymen at Archangle
During the fercest period Of the long
Americans confined in that region OF

letters home, begging corrrcss and
influential public men TO work for the
quick return of the American lads
from Russia.
Costello Will be remembered by
thousands Of Virainians as the crea+-
est football machine ever developed
at GEORGETOWN, although his equal
was almost reached in the mighty
Gilrov who, in 1916 scored more in.
