Albert A. Exendine win. Of course.
return to Georgetown next year.
His system of football is sound and
has been proved so year after year.
Given the players, he can turn out
o capable eleven, a team able 10
tackle the best to be found any
where.
Exendine was sadly handicapped
this year. He had plenty OF vet
Grams when the campaign opened,
but they soon proved the weakness
of most veterans. They were brit
tie and easily hurt.
Kenyon, Flavin, Malley, all back
field veterans, were out Of the game
for long periods. They lost much
practice. Some Of them didn't even
get into some Of the games. Wiggy
King, first-class end. suffered
from a weak knee and was not
available when needed most.
The installation of the first.year
rule at Georgetown hurt Exendine
. terribly. His reserve strength was
small. He did not have the men
necessary to keep up the furious
attack required. He had to get
along with what he had. He did
wonders with some Of them, espe-
cially Smell. Byrne and Lowe.
But the Hilltoppers' courage
never foorsook them. They lost
three games i'm succession, yet
were able to come back strong
against Bucl<nell. Boston College
and. browning glory Of all. against
the famous Lafayette eleven.
Two records, perhaps unknown
to the majority of the big crowd
at the game. were made Saturday.

editor of The washington Times.

For several seasons now we have
wondered Just what Father McDon'

team was playing. He has always

with but q minute to spare for
Major O'Dea. After that we never
heard anything Of him. We have
sometimes wondered whether he
aver saw a game or not. But Sat
urday-ah, that was different.
Father McDonough. with an eagle
eye, was perched upon the back
row of the press boz. He made
himself the official. announcer Of
all substitutions for the hard-work-
ing slaves in the, press box. He
was right on the hickey with the
names Of both teams substitutes
as fast as they trailed in upon the
field. He waA entitled to a COM
bined vote of thanks for his earnest
and valuable endeavors during the
afternoon.
Now we know what Father Nc.

For some. years now we have
