town Squad to Give Bos-

Hope for Victory.
BY JACK NYE.

In the face of three consecutive
defeats, the Georgetown spirit is
coming to the fore.
Judging FROM the pep and fight
shown by the Blue and Gray men
In a gruelling scrimOage yesterday
afternoon, Boston College is not
going To have such an easy time of
II next Saturday. Never before this
season have Exendine's warriors
shown SO much life and dash. In
stead of conceding defeat to the
Bostonians. they are actually be-
ginning TO believe that they can
make amends for their recent slump
by defeating the conquerors Of
Yale.
One of the, chief reasons for the
enthusiasm is that Bob Legendre.
one of the country's greatest all
round athletes, has donned the
noleskin 20 help Georgetown in her
distress
Weighing 1876 pounds. Legendre
is one of the fleetest men in the
country. In addition he is WON
derful drop kicker and his educated
toe Is expected to make a lot of
trouble for the Boston collegians-
In yesterdays scrimmage, Legen-
n in football, because OF a broken
eg sustained last spring. has not
amaged the accuracy of his hoof.
With the reserves rushing through
IN him, he repeatedly booted the
ball through the posts from vary
Ing angles at distances as far as
Y45 yards. He also showed REMARK
able power in carrying the ball
and should add badly needed
strength to the defense.
Legendre was the winner of the
pentathlon at Philadelphia three
years ago. With only two weeks
practice after his broken leg had
healed last spring. he qualified for
the Olympic team by finishing third
in the same event. In the Olympic
games he also took third honors.
With the assurance that Legendre
will get into the game, and with
Gus Malley back In shape after the
injury to his knee at Annapolis, the
Hilltop men arc showing q worlo
of spirit and fight. Their showing
yesterday filled the coaches with
enthusiasm. They are working
harder in the face of defeat than
they ever did In victory. The team
appears to have found itself.
Jimmy Sullivan, who has been
Loyalty holding down the bench job
most of the season, has at last been
rewarded and will start at quarter
against Boston. His work in the
Washington and Lee game won him
~. berth. Flavin will be at right

VI Cronin will start at fullback.
he line will probably remain the

Richmond. according to reports,
as wired an offer 20 Georgia Tech
or a post-season game with V. NJ.
on December 4 or II, guarantee
ing the Atlanta team $1,000. Such
game would be one of the great
sst battles of the year. and would
in reality settle the Southern cham
pionship provided Tech defeats
Auburn tomorrow.
". Nj Is one of the country's
few unbeaten teams. 1t is the sec
ord largest scoring machine in the
country, with a total of 4o7 to IL
for their opponents, and few strong
er machines have ever been turned
out by a Virginia college.
Georgia Techs solo defeat came

pace. =, ,bo

will have lost a game, and each VIII

In the final analysis, Princeton
