IL you ever owned a flivver which
insisted upon going dead" any time
you got too far from home to walk
back, you can imagine the troubles
Al Exendine. the Georgetown coach,
is having this season.
That gridiron machine OF his has
been acting mighty queer Of late. 1t
started at Annapolis, where 1t
missed" all afternoon. Bringing it
back to the garage. Exendine gave
it a thorough overhauling. replacing
a number of bolts and renovating
the engine to the best of his ability.
He took 1t down to Atlanta for
trial test with that 1920 Georgia
Tech model Still IL refused To get
started until the last period, when 1t
suddenly picked up" and scored
belated touchdown. And all the
while the Tech entry was acting
like a Rolls Royce with its tank full
of moonshine hooch.
Exendine is still tinkering with
the works and hopes to have his ma
chine in shape for the remaining
contests with Washington and Lee
and Boston College.
,Leary Tried mt Quarter.
The Hilltop student body was
more cheerful over the outlook yes
terday when IL was announced that
AL Leary, one OF the fastest back
field men on the squad, will be In
shape to face Washington and Lee.
He should add a lot of punch to the
attack. Leary starred in the games
with North Carolina State and Wes-
leyan, but was injured In the latter
game and has been out ever since.
Back in shape once more, his speed
has forced the coaches to make a
place for him on the team. Hester-
day he went in at quarter, while
Flavin was shifted to left half.
In an effort to strengthen the
right side of. the line. Exendine re-
placed O'Connell at right guard with
Quinn, and will probably use the
substitute in that position Saturday.
Dutch Leighty also is making
strong bid to wiz back his job az
halfback.
MaIIey May Not Start.
Gus MaIley's twisted knee Is
showing improvement. but it is
doubtful whether he will start
against the Generals He will be
more badly needed against Boston
College and the coaches will prob
ably run no risk of having him In
jured again before that big game.
The Hilltoppers will flash a bunch
of neSs 5ptss-s, on the Generals II
necessary, and hope to return to
their f8rsn 81 winning form. Despite
the suseripr. weight of the Virginia
eleven there is confidence on the
Hultop- that the game will result
in a GEORGETOWN victory.

Princeton's great football team
appears to have in its ranks one
certain All-American player in the
person Of Stan Keck, the giant
tackle. who is rated as the strongest
man at his position in the country
Two other Tigers are going to make
a strong bid for mythical honors
Hank Garrity is said by those who
have seen him play to be the most
eficeint line plunger of the year
while Don Lourie is probably the
only quarterback in the country who
will give ''Bo" Mcmillan strong op-
position on Walter Camps team
Yale failed to place a man on the
All-American team in 1919 and there
is every indication that the same
thing will happen to the Ellis thi:
season. Kelly. from Rutgers, has
been Yale's outstanding star. bu,

has it's share OF luminaries, amons
them being Sedgewick, at tackle
Tolbert. at guard, and Havemeyer
at center. The last-named party
made the famous Red" weaver, o.
Centre College, look like an ex
tremely ordinary player and Is one
of the greatest centers in the coun'
try, with Heapy, of Boston College
who rendered Mike Callahan. Of

they met, rating on the same plane

All IL would lack is a man with
quarterback experience. but prac'
tically the only strategy required
would be a center capable of shoot
ing the ball to one of this quartet
Brains would come in handy ir

are all self-starters.
Bills Gils. a Washington football
fan. comes to the front with sug'
Eestion that Georgetown and Mary
land University tie up in a post
season game
why don't you" he writes, "sug-
gest that Georgetown play Mary
land on December 4. I would thinl
that IL these two teams came to-
gether they would draw a larger
crowd than IL Georgetown met som'
other team. People of Washington
would rather see Maryland play be
cause il is more of a home team.
