The Blue and Gray Hilltoppers ma!
win Saturday. II they do, their vie
tory may work more evil than good
Winning the final game may make
them believe that their lo2o season
was but a bad dream to be forgotten
A defeat may drive home the Uuui
that the squad has fallen in caiiber
back to those days when Georgetown
teams were but footballs for teams
equipped with better systems.
The fatuous theory that football
players grow OH trees brings about
unfortunate campaigns. fennsyi-
yania's troubled season has caileu at
tention to the fact that Johnny heis-
man cannot be blamed because All ms

Pennsylvania, which is a far larger
institution than Georgetown ever
will be, have begun already to see 90
it that the 1921 backfield squad VIII

cally with those who Will play
against them.

asked him about them.
On the opening day of practice
while standing on Georgetown Field,
we did ask him what he thought OF
the squad, which was then goinS
through its preliminary muscle

of the trainer, John ID. ORcilIy.
"All right" he said
Don't see many big ones we

equally gloomy Exendine.
That is the extent Of EXendine's
remarks - us concerning his squad
and it's chances.
PLAY THEMSELVES OFT.
However, from watching the gang
all season in those games played in
this section, one may easily see that
sthe original lineup has been COM
PEELED to play itself out every week.
SO small has been the number or
available Vine candidates that the
, same players have been forced 10
keep going to the last breath. Seri-
Gus injuries 10 any three forwards
would have torn the Georgetown
eleven wide open. Good luck. more
than anything else, has permitted inc
Hlltoppers to travel as far as their
big games before going to pieces
Once the really hard games came
along, after those rather strenuous
affairs with North Carolina State,
West Virginia Wesleyan and Fo d.
ham, the team has gradually fallen
away until it appeared positively
impotent in the Washington and Lee
game. The vicious attack, coupled
with speed that has always marked
Exendine's clevens at the Hilltop. was
not in evidence against the Generals.
A tired horse has no strength.
Ii is well known that frequently
a sc"ond-class football player can
outplay a first-class man, provided the
former is trcsher than his rival. But
Georgetown has had so few forwards
OF any csliber that substitutions have
come only when knees or Shoulders
were bent. Keeping the sam" men in
TO the last moment has brought .hc
