start today with Mount, a Kentucky

last year at Tech here. on the ends;
Whyte, at Tech two years ago. but
not a player, and Hawley with the
Idaho scrubs three years ago at the
tackles; Walters, from Hannonheld
high, N. j.. and sandys. from BARN
ger high, N. j., at guards, and j, Loeh-
Ter. two years ago at Tech playing
center.
Behind the line Coach Morse will
start with either McAllister, from ST.
Adams, or Mcpherson, a Tenne ssec
sch oolboy, at quarter. Vidmer, or ST.
Luke's school, will be at fullback, and
the halves will be Hughes and Rich
mond, followed by Skinker and Ches-
ney.
HAS VETERAN BACKFIELD.
Georgetown's chief strength today
will be in it's veteran backheld
Dutch Leighty, Jack Flavin, GLOOMY
Gus" Malley and Jimmy Sullivan form
veteran quartet. though Flavin and
Malley have had but one season or
VARSITY football. Leighty is a tenn
peramental chap. II he happens to
feel like it, he'll play whale OF a,
game. If he doesn't, he won't. That's
. ALI. But when he is in the right
mood, Leighty is an extremely Yalua-
BILE back.
Malley, while not especially fast in
starting, can hammer along like
blowing machine, once he is under
way. His work against Boston COL
|lege last year stamped him as a com
ing star.
Jack Flavin is of the long. active.
nervous running back, extremely fast
and extremely hard to stop. Many
believe he will be the star OF the
.Gcorgetown backfield this season, II
he can escape injury.
SULLIVAN CAN KICK.
Jimmy Sullivan. the pudgy quarter.
hack, has been with the squad for
three years and knows Al Exendine's
system inside out. He Is expected TO
bin Jackie Maloneys place in good
style. In addition. Sullivan is quite
field goal kicker. though he doesn't
boast about it.
qeorgetown's backs, while good at
the running game, seem to lack
HARRY Costello's days has the Blue
and Gray possessed a really greater
kicker. Exendine has been compelled
to pattern his system of play to suit
team without a really good punter.
On the ends Georgetown VIII have
two rather inexperienced players in
zazalli and Jack Sullivan. However.
IZazalli did not get into several games
asst fall, and may fool the wise ones
today. Owing to the experience II,
baske tball, he is exceptionally adept
in taking forward passes.
"Zoob" Sullivan and Joe OConnel
played last year, and should hold their
own at the tackle positions. If O.Eon-
nell packed more beef on his bones,
he'd be a whale of tackle, for he
has the aggressiveness necessary to
stellar performances. But thus far he
has never been able to stand UP under
beating.
THEY'LL MISS DUDACK.
The Hilltoppers are sure to miss
Bill Dudack this year Not hashy,
A1udack was a steady, consistent
Iyuard who was always in the game,
EtronE on defense and fairly active
On offense. He was chosen to captain
his wears eleven but an attack or
kyphoid fever during the summer pre-
rents his playing.
Against St Johns Coach EXendine
will probably start Smeach and Tony
Comstock. Smeach started as tao
Sxlc, was then shifted to end and now
finds himself playing guard. lie Is
an earnest player, striving all the
inc. and may develop into a good
guard, though rather rangy for the
olace. Comstock won his spurs last
year when, as freshman. he battled
is way to a varsity job. He is strong
sd who gives all he has in every
yainc.
At center Alec Anderson. acting
captain, should be a tower of strength
or the Hilltoppers. Though a small
