Two years ago the football world
read a whole lot about Carl Beck,
former Harrisburg High star and
West Virginia University halfback
Last Saturday Beck and ten other
husky Vermonters played Holy Cross
Vermont had one victory over Dart,
mouth which startled the iootDaiI
world.
Against Cleo ODonnells Worcester
eleven the Nermonters failed TO make
q single first down. Beck, with all
his speed and twisting ability, III

These things the Hilltoppers Kno"
full well.
Washington is considerably inter
ested in the appearance OF Shorty
Mcmahon, who is playing for HOLY
Cross. The Washington lad entered
West Point from Staunton Military
Academy. He was being groomed
for the quarterback berth this sea
son and was highly touted by Charley
DAILY. McMahon left the Point ana
entered Holy Cross.
The Hilltop coaching staff Is
making no predictions today on the
score. Georgetown is known to
pOssess a world Of stuff. The elev.
en- has failed to show all its power
with any consistency. Flashes OF
speed have been demonstrated hut,
as whole, the Hilitoppers have
failed to convince the men on the
HILTON who are driving them along.
George Washington will go to
Il TODAY with every idea of defeat
ing Gallaudet. The Hatchetitcs
have not been success on the
gridiron. The players for the most
part are youngsters drawn froil
the day classes entirely.
While they have improved cor
siderably since the start of the
season injuries have handicapped
them and they have been up against
n schedule which would tax the
strength OF a first class eleven
Meeting Virginia, St. Johns, HOP
kins and Bethany in row was
no mean feat.
Gallaudet is possessed OF veg
eran combination. Without

ties as they did last season.

Tn one week Washington has
held more football teams than
ever before I'm its history. Some
of the greatest football players in
the country have either played or
practised on the home lots.
Non Scott and his Alabama Uni.

way to Penn. Florida University. on
its way to play Harvard, took a
workout at Georgetown University.
Penn State and the Navy PLAYED
in an historic contest here yester,

as Georgia Tech this season en- route
TO other fields.
Today Holy Cross Is a visitor
And Washington, to it's everlasting
credit. has responded IN first class

The old burg needs education tc
football and its possibilities. u
isn't football town by any means
as was shown by the fact that the
fans failed to grab up all the Penn

rammed the gates at game time. It's
