'SUTHERLAND'S
LADS ARE NOT
EATING TURKEY
"Here to Beat Georgetown, !"
Says Lafayette's Mentor,
Outlining Plans for Team.
By BRYAN MORSE.

(STHERE will be no turkey for
Lafayette football, players.
Ny boys will begin work
today in preparation for Georgt-
town. Conditions here are different,
the environment strange and the
climate such that we will have to
work hard to defeat Georgetown
Saturday. Work will start today
and there will be no let up until
we meet Georgetown on Saturday.
Rest and quiet when not working
is the general program" This is
what DIR. John Sutherland, coach
of the Lafayette College eleven,
has laid out fop the Eastonians.
Housed at the spacious Columbia
Country Club, the Lafayette men
have nothing to do but rest, work
and then play Georgetown.
After that they will go to their
homes before returning to Easton
\ on Monday. While a majority Of
the players were pretty well used
up in the Lehigh engagement on
Saturday, Lafayette's squad is
prime.
No football practice has beer held
since Saturday and the team gets
out this morning for a hike AID
then has regulation practice this
afternoon.
I'VE intend to use new plays
tor Georgetown, said DR.. Suther-
land last night. '"The conditions
here are somewhat different than
we are used to at Easton and we
will have to get acclimated quickly.
WILL STAY PUT.
1T is doubtful il any of the
players will leave the country club
until they go in for the game on
saturday. l shall probably take
| a look at Georgetown tomorrow
when the team plays George WASH
Ington.
In the meantime we intend to
| work our hardest to defeat George
| town, which has an exceptionally
fine team and one which is capable
or playing great football
The Lafayette squad and party
numbering thirty-one, arrived in
town at S:45 p. m. and went i'm
mediately to the Columbia Country
Club. The players were sent to
bed at $3.50 p. m. and will be ready
early in the morning for work.
One moments conversation with
the famous Lafayette coach and
| former Pitt star is sufficient to
convince one that the Maroon and
White players are down here for
one purpose. That is to beat
Georgetown.
WAS HERE BEFORE.
This is not Sutherland's first
visit to Washington as a coach. In
1918 as coach and left guard of
the Camp Greenleaf eleven, Suth-
erland played against the Camp
DIX team for the army title at
American League Park.
The Greenleaf eleven, which was
a sweet one with all sorts of re.
verse plays, criss-cross stunts and
a great set of running backs, de-
feated B. Russell Murphy's Camp
Dix eleven by a 34-to-O score.
Shortly thereafter Sutherland
went to Pitt where he was assist
ant to Glen Warner. As coach of
the Lafayette eleven during the
past two seasons his teams have
had unprecedented success. Lafay-
cite. has been beaten but once in
two' seasons and by Washington
and Jefferson recently.
Four recognized all-America
| players are listed with the team.
Bots" Brunner is the leading point
| scorer in the country.
HAS HIGH TOTAL.
He has totalled twelve touch
downs and one field goal for Sc
points. leading Wilson of Penn
State, Pfann of Cornell, and Rob-
| ertson of Carnegie Tech
Dutch" Schwab, captain and
| guard, is an all-America selection
and is playing his last season.
Mike GaZella and Mat Brennan,
quarterback, are the other great
| players listed with the team.
