BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.


!. Today comes the last real work for
the Georgetown and George Washing
ton varsity elevens before they tackle
; each other at American League Park
Saturday afternoon. Tomorrow the
! highest signal drill will be the pro-
gram. Then IL will be all over but the
shouting.
Georgetown. owing to its steady
2 progress down to the overwhelming
Victory at Worcester last Saturday, is
a favorite to win from the Buff and
Blue. The Hnltoppers have a veteran
Aggregation well coached In all posi-
tions George Washington, too, has
several experienced players. but they
I have not played together as long as
= the Hilltoppers. The downtown con-
!tingent, going into the contest on the
short end, believes 1t will make a sur
. prisingly good showing and fool
Georgetown. 1t does not look for vic
tory, but 1t doesn't intend being a
door mat for the West Enders, either.
Georgetown will outweigh its op-
ponent In the line and the Hilltop
'backfield will include veterans who
should outclass the Buff and Blue
quartet. Nevertheless, many things
are possible and Coach Exendine's
u fads will have to play a lot of foot
ball to obtain much of a margin over
7 tne tfatCnetiteS.
Harry Hawley, whose recent mar
l!riage took him from the gridiron.
Z surprised Coach Bill Quigley yester-
day by reporting and climbing into
his uniform. Hawley played fine
football at tackle last season and Is
fsure to get into Saturdays game.
- Cliff Whyte Reports.
RI Another experienced tackle. Cliff
y whyte. has also reported to the George
!, Washington coach. He played with
,Hawley asst season. and. inasmuch as
!. tackles are greatly needed by the
downtown eleven. was welcomed with
open arms.
Coach Quigley is expected to send
Shaw and Peake to the ends, Hawley
and Connolly to the tackles, Mulligan
and lavish to the guards and Hughes
to center for the Georgetown game.
Hughes played with Bethany last
/, season against the Blue and Gray. and
welcomes another opportunity
. /, Baiilie Springston. one OF the
!, .speediest players in this section of the
country, will direct the Buff and Blue
eleven Saturday. Manson and Crouch
Z will be the halfbacks. while Josh Lica-
y frfone. well known to Washingtonians
for his great line-plunging on various
sandlot elevens, will be the fullback
I It is thought that Licarione will prove
extremely valuable, II his team can
bring the ball anywhere near the
Georgetown goal line.
~ Hilltoppers Are Fast.
"A Coach Exendine's team to start
against George Washington is one Of
q the fastest in the history Of the Hill
top. From end to end the line is COM
posed Of powerful players we'll taught
in all the duties of their positions. The
: backfield is a veteran quartet OF heavy,
fast players. Jack F1avin is easily one
. of the best punters In Eastern football
Exendine will have Paul Florence
and Joe O'Connell on the wings. Five
or six first-class tackles are available,
!. with Comstock certain of appearing
: at guard Carl Werts will start at
center.
~ Du -Four, the husky quarterback,
viii have Jack Favin, Johnny Nc
Quade and Bill Kenyon behind him

do everything demanded OF good backs
kick, pass and run with the ball.
Officials for the game have not been
announced yet. However, Courtney. OF
Cornell, will be umpire and Eddie
Bennis. of Pennsylvania, will be the
field judge.
