Saturdays lntersectlOndl IOotDdii
game at American League Park
between Georgetown University
and the University of Cincinnati is
taking on all the aspects of big
league struggle as the time for the
opening whistle draws near.
Cincinnati, coached by George
McIaren former Pittsburgh back
field star, has been handicapped
all season by the ineligibility of
six of its regular men. but diner
ences with the college ONCE have
been adjusted in all six cases and
the Ohioans are confident that
they can stop anything the locals
may have to offer Saturday.
Coach McLaren visited Washing
ton last week and secuted the
Hilltoppers in their contest with
Lebanon Valley, and the former
Panther is of the opinion that his
charges will not prove easy pick
ing for Exendine's crew In Capt
Palmer and Linneman. Cincinnati
boasts of two Of the best ball car
riers In Ohio collegiate circles
Linneman also is punter and
drop-kicker of the first water.
Polish Rough Spots.
Coach Exendine, of the Hilltop
crew, assisted by Jackie Maloney.
yearling gridirOn mentor. and Line
Coach Dan O'Connor. has been
polishing of the numerous rough
spots of the Hilltop machine and
Saturday will see a different eleven
answer the KICKOFF than the team
that barely defeated Lebanon VAL
ley last week.
FIavin and Wertz will return to
the lineup. Kenyon has recovered
the form that made him one of the
most feared men on the Georgetown
team. several shifts have been made
in the line. and the quarterback
problem probably will not loom up
SO large as heretofore this fall. as
Flavin has been selected to call
signals
The Blue and Gray had plenty of
weight and experienced players in
its forward line Saturday. but the
old drive, for which Exendines
teams are famous. was lacking.
.Exendine gave the squad its first
cut Of the year yesterday, retaining
twenty-sev men on the first
squad and shifting the remaining
Twenty-Five candidates to John d.
O'Reilly. who will handle the
scrubs.
The freshmen and scrubs Will
scrimmage the varsity alternately
or Wednesdays and Thursdays from
now until the end of the season.
FIavin at Quarter.
The most important change Of
the season is the shifting of Jack
Flavin to quarterback and the
bringing up of HALEY to halfback
on the first team. The field gem
era"s position has been Exendines
principal problem for the past two
seasons. and Flavin. who has had
experience calling signals. should
just about MI the bill and eliminate
the only weak spot in the Blue and
Gray machine.
