Georaetown's football reputation
has covered a wide bit Of territory
since the crushing defeat of Holy
Cross two weeks ago. but 1t doesn't
ssem to have made such a, deep i'm
preston in and about old New
York
At least II cuts little or no ice
with these youthful moleskin war
Fiors from Fordham who arrived
in Washington last night primed for
a hard battle this afternoon.
When teh party of thirty-one. In
eluding Coach Joe DuMoe and Man
ager ]. c. Kelley, IT.. reached the
Hotel Ebbitt they couldn't have
been more cheerful II a certain VIC
tory stared them in the face.
You can bet your boots it's go
ing to be a mighty close game"
said Manager Kelley, in the alb
sence of DuMoe. who beat 1t for q
movie with most of the players.
Not . BIT Overawed.
yep, we know Georgetown is
strong, but we are rather fast our
selves. Georgetown's defeat OF
Holy Cross doesn't mean a thing to
us. After that Lafayette game we
have no fears of any of them. You
might have noticed that Lafayette
got the jump on us and scored 20
points in the first half. But did
you notice what happened in the
second? Lafayette got about three
hrst downs and we scored a, touch
down. Fordham was playing ball
then"
Fordham's single defeat this sea
10 son Is that registered by the East
ontans, and their last stunt is that
or playing Boston College to a
scoreless tie.
v Coach DuMoe will present a we'll
balanced and experienced team
against the Hilltoppers today The
visitors recognize the fact that they
will be outweighed by a hefty mar
gin. but are banking on their speed
and a dazzling air attack to turn
the tide.
Meyers q Fast One.
Tommy Meyers. fuIlback. is the
bright and shining light of the
FOrdham offense. This youth is an
adept at hurting passes. can punt
with the best of them and is also an
accurate drop-kicker. Last year he
was the leading point scorer in the
Metropolitan district. In addition
to Meyers, Quarterback Canniff.
who weighs but 145 pounds, is an
Offensive star of first water.
Capt. Fitzpatrick. who holds down
an end. will probably not start this
afternoon on account of an injured
hand. but Healey and Woodward
the New Workers have a fine pair
of fiankmen. Woodward Is usually
on the long end of the passes that
Nave made Fordham famous this
season
The visiting team that takes the
field this afternoon will average but
little over 40 pounds. but the
weight is evenly distributed
Hilltop stars Missing.
Several Iast-minute changes in
the Hilltop lineup were announced
last night. Happy Jack" Flavip
and wild BiIr' Kenyon, two of the
brightest backfield stars, will not
start against Fordham. Exendine
hopes to be able to save them for
Georgia Tech. In their absence
Bull" Lowe will play at left half,
and "Pauly" Byrne. Gonzasa prod
uct. will do the fulIbacking.
Georgetown's line weight was
sent skyrocketing further toward
use the 2O4-pound Thompson at left
tackle: the 195-pound Sheehap~ az
right guard. and the 196-pound Cog
gin at center in the place of the
incapaCitated Mr. Wertz Butler
weighing but $50, will sub for
'Zube" Sullivan at right tackle.
ThatIl be about the heaviest line
ever seen in these parts
The game will start promptly at
2:3O o'clock at the American League
Park. Officials have been chosen as
follows: Andrews yale. referee;
Hoban (Dartmouth). umpire; Couz-
ens( PENN, headlinesman.
OF the four local eIevens in action
today. Maryland is the only one
ready to accept defeat without re-
grets. The Byrdmen departed last
night for New Haven where they
will provide enough opposition to
keep the Ellis in trim for their COM
Ing Tits with Harvard and Yale.
.- Looking ahead to the conflict with
Catholic University next week, the
Maryland mentor is planning to
keep some of his stars on the side
lines in the Yale game. This is
due both to the fact that many of
his men are in poor condition and
that he doesn't want to run the
risk of losing those who appear to
be right.
Brooke Brewer, punter par excel
lence, will probably watch the strife
today from the side lines, with Pa
Eanucci performing in his stead.
&. HcQuad, fiashy fullback and a very
" strong defensive man, is out with a
bum shoulder. Bailey, Clarke and
Luckey, in the line, are not fit to
start and the exact lineup that will
face Yale was predetermined last
might.
Resigned to a defeat at New
Haven, the College Parkers are
