which will land them in Atlanta
by noon tomorrow.
Departing 10 the a:comran ment
Of the cheers Gf the student body
which will gather \: the statioE,
the Hilltoppe-s are Confident of re-
turning next week with the blot Of
past defeats erased from their
record.
With the exception OF Johnny
McQuade, still nursing an injured
arm, and Carl Wertz, who has a
in fine shape and ra'rin' to go when
the whistle sounds.
MeQuade Expected to Start.
Coach Exendine last night had
practically decided to start McQuade
in Saturdays battle. The big half
back is no longer carrying his arm
in a sling, and feels that he Will be
able to play without danger of fur
ther injury. He is consumed with
a desire to, participate in the defeat
of Georgia Tech, which all George
town men believe is already writ
ten by the fates.
Kenyon, Flavin and DuFour will
make up the remainder of the back
field combination. Florence and
O'Connell will hold down the ends
in their usual capable style. Thomp-
son and Butler will be the tackles,
with Rudy Comstock and Sheehan
at the guards. Because of the in
jury to Wertz. Bill Goggin will take
care Of the role at center.
Exendine put his men through a
long session of indoor work yes
terday. the chilling rain preventing
a session on the field. In the after
noon signal drill and practice
against George Tech formations
took up most Of the time. At night
the men were again assembled in
the gym for a blackboard lecture.
George Tech plays have been fully
covered by the coaches, and it will
take some foxy stuff to catch the
Hilltoppers mapping.
Result May Hinge on Line.
Georgetown will face Tech Satur-
day with brighter prospects than
Of the Yellow Jacket backs, they
Blue and Gray.
The play of the opposing lines
will probably ten the story. When
JhG AHA tans aim their drives
against the Blue and Gray mid
SCI ylioH or seek to fit around the
stations guarded by the brilliant
Florence and ~O'Connell, it Is pos
siL1- hat right there their hopes
70 tory will be dashed on the
rocks. No team this year has been

Tech is known to have a foxy air
attack, but for that matter the Hill
toppers can fling a wicked pass
themselves.
