Hilltop, somewhat bruised and bat
tered after their gruelllng battle.
Will take the field again this after
noon to prepare for the meeting
with the famous Golden Tornado"
of Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Satur-
day.
When the present season started
the HiItoppers had a three-fold
ambition One was to repeat their
victory over the Middies. That hope
has failed. The second was to re-
venge the crushing defeat at the
hands Of Georgia Tech last season
and the third. to prance on the
frame of Boston College.
That Navy affair is now ancient
history as far as EXendine's men
are concerned. They are looking
ahead, not behind. and expect to
give the Georgians their hardest
battle of the season. As at Annapo-
lis. the decision will probably hinge
on line play, but IL is inconceiVable
to GEORGETOWN men that the Tor
nado" forwards can have the speed
and power of that bunch OF Tor
wards on the Navy team.
Anderson and Kenyon Mnuied.
Despite the fierceness of the bat
tie at Annapolis and the mauling
some of the Hilltoppers received
they came through in surprisingly
good shape, according to Physical
Director John d. O'Reilly. Alec An
derson and Bill Kenyon suffered the
most. The Hilltop captain put up a
wonderful battle against Larson MS
giant opponent, until the third pc
riod when he was led limping from
the field. A few minutes later his
opponent, badly used up, was alsc
helped to the sidelines, wonderins
how a 143-pound lineman could &c
so much damage. Trying to handle
with a wildcat.
KENYON refused to leave the game,
though he was knocked cold at one
time when four Navy tacklers hit
him simultaneously and knocked
him for a goal. Capt. Even and
three others sent him flying about
fifteen yards TO his own goal line
and he took the count for a minute
or two. When he revived he stuck
it out.
First hand dope on the Georgia
Tech team was received yesterday
from Morgan Blake, sporting editor
Of the Atlanta Journal, who stopped
over in Washington after seeing
the Virginia-Georgia game. Mr
Blake was accompanied by Charley
Outlaw, also of Atlanta, whose chic
duty is to sing the praises of hi
home team. As a press agent, Mr
Outlaw is one of the best in th'
business.

doubts.
Atlanta Scribe Boosts Tech.
Both of the Atlanta visitors
showed more than passing interest,"
in Jack Flavin and were finally
convinced that he is whale OF
quarterback.
Then they launched upon a eulogy
of the Tech team.
IF Bill Fincher and Red Barron
aren't given places on the all-Amerl-
can team this year." said Blake
'thereu be something rotten In

game with Vanderbilt when some
body stepped on his face. He'll ap-

that injury and is going to be hard
man to stop. Tech has a wonderful
backfield, but so has Georgetown

IF Tech could stop Mcmillan, and
they stopped him cold. they ought tc
be able to halt Flavin, though

tured Blake.

Mcmillan ran with the bal
eighteen times against Tech" con-
tinued Blake, "and gained 25 yards
an average of one yard and a frac'
tion for each attempt. On the other
hand, Red Barron carried the bal
eleven times and averaged over
thirteen yards. 1t wasn't a very
good day for the Centre star"
You tell 'em." said Mr.. Outlaw
again.
G. U. Has Kicking Edge.
One department in which the
Golden Tornado" is willing to con-
cede superiority to the Hilltoppers
is IN kicking. Buck Flowers. who

Kicking does not appear to be ar
important part of the Navy game
