Johnny Mcouade will get into
the game against Georgia Tech II
needed" say authorities on the
Hilltop.
That In Itself Is encouraging to
followers Of the Blue and Gray as
the South's biggest gridiron game
draws near:
But Johnny Mcouade. nursing an
injured arm. KNOWS he will take
part In battle with the Golden
Tornado. A dlslocated arm is a
small matter TO stand between the
brilliant. backfeld star and his
chance for revenge.
Mhen McQuade was led OF the
field last Saturday and heard the
medicos pronounce his injury a
fracture. II was the hardest blow
Of his athletic career. His face
frightened. however. and the old
smile flashed forth again when
later examination showed the trou-
Bile to be a dIslocation.
For with his gridiron career fast
drawing to a close. Saturdays game
Is the biggest thing In Johnny's
young life, He has some unnn-
lshed business with the Golden
Tornado. a little affair begun In
1913 and never settled. 49,
Johnny Out for ReveaEe.
Two years agoN when the Hill
toppers journeyed to Atlanta for
their first game with Hsisman's
shIfty team, McQuade was the cap
tain upon whom hopes pinned TO
lead the team to victory.
For three quarters. with McOuade
doing most of the work, the HIu-
toppers played the SouthernerS 70
virtual tie. In the first period
there was no scoring and the edge
lay with the Blue and Gray. Nc
Quade was tearing the Tech line
TO splinters.
A mlsplay near the goal line
robbed Georgetown Of an early
touchdown. In the second period
the Tornado managed to drive a
touchdown across and missed the
goal.
Again in the third period Ncousde
crashed through the Tech line, car
rying the ball TO the I-yard line
where forward pass failed. Later
IN the same period he led another
march down the field. After com
pleting a dash of 40 yards around
the Tech end he was forced ont m
bounds. Standing there to get his
Oreath, a headstrong Tech player
cut him down from behind and tore
ligament loose in his Ieg.
For a few plays the Iimpinr
leader remained in the game. Then
was necessary to lead him to the
sideIines
Minus Leader, G. u. willis.
With their captain gone, the
Georget|wI men houndered some
what. and the Tornado scored three
touchdowns in the final period. The
scOro was % to Q.
Last year, minus McQulC.. the
Hilltoppers went South with a weak

Of 35 to G. Bill Kenyon crossed the

the defeat was decisive and over

The third trip Of Georgetown to
Atlanta ends McQuade again a mem
ber Of the team after a years alb
Sen"e from school. His chance for
revenge has come at last. though n
Is somewhat dimmed by the painful
injury 20 his arm. the second mishap
the rugged player has ever met
upon the gridiron.
Georgetown is intent upon wipine
out the stain of two past dsfeats
aud the work would not be complete
with McQuade acting as a mere

was Watch Flavin."
