ucCcSSdIy, He may play.
The return of Joe O'Connell to the
Georgetown lineup means that the
home team will be at its best for the
forward passing game. Both Florence
and O'Connell are excellent receivers
OF the long pass. O'Connell took one
behind the Holy Cross goal line while
at full length. In addition, O'Connell
is brilliant defensive end, being
fighter from first to last.
tGeorgetown's veteran backs are ex-
pected to shine today. Flavin, Nc
Quade and Kenyon are expert carriers
In all directions. DuFour, the new
quarterback, is following in Jackie
Maloney's footsteps on the road to
stardom. All four should be at their
best today.
Fordham Is Strong.
Fordham's record is not quite as
Impressive as Georgetown's, but the
Maroon has a strong team. Elimin-
adng that topheavy score against
washington College. which is little
more than a high school in football
ability, Fordham has not run up many
peints.
The Bronx eleven started off in
pfetty good shape against Maine, win
nmg, 25-to-14, and slaughtered Wash
ington College, 101-to-0. Catholic
University. though, proved a tough
foe, losing by a score of 10-to-0. That
seemed to take lot out of Fordham,
for the Villanova game ended in
luke tie in the dark, the Pennsyl-
vanians really being the winners.
Then came two big games. Lafay-
cite, conquerer of Pittsburgh, was
held to four touchdowns, Fordham
getting one. The Maroon clearly out
played Boston College last Saturday,
falling to score largely because of
ftimbles and penalties. Once Meyers
dropped the ball as he dashed across
the line, a Bostonian recovering it
for a touchback.
Coach DuMoe has been bothered
pretty much all season with a long
list of injured players, but most OF
his cripples have recovered sufficient
ly to get into today's lineup.
Expect Hard Game.
"Georgetown knows Fordham OF
oid," said Coach AL Exendine today.
mo Fordham team was ever beaten
before the whistle sounded the close
OF the game and Georgetown expects
a hard game today. Georgetown hopes
for victory, but Georgetown doesn't
belieye Il will come until II has been
earned. Fordham teams don't quit"
Fordham has not played In Wash
ington for seven or eight years, lts
iast appearance being at the Hilltop
when bud" Wymard electrified the
Hilltop crowd with his magnificent
defensive work as a rowing center.
Geor getown, by the way, won that
game.
Today's game will be featured by
the Georgetown singing. The cheer
ing section has been working hard to
make a good impression with songs
and the Blue and Gray athletes will
not lack for heartening support.
