"The least promising squad
I've ever seen at Georgetown
and the toughest schedule we've
been known to attempt" Such
was the pessimistic comment of
Lou Little, head coach of
Georgetown's football squad
which returned to its home.
field to practice yesterday, after
two weeks at Wildwood, N. Il
That was the attitude Little
took when he had first inspected
his 1927 charges, but we We're
hopeful ten days or two weeks
among them would brighten
Louis outlook.
Frankly, we must say that
after one week away from the
daily practices, we thought we
could see many improvements,
individually and a much smarter
team, but Little, who has been
by their sides day in and day
out, mornings and afternoons,
refuses to wax enthusiastic over
developments.
Furthermore, the Georgetown
athletic director declares this
foreboding of his is not assumed
but actual. Lou has always
been of the type who would con-
gratulate and compliment when
ever there was reason there
for-never becoming optimistic
for the mere purpose of cover
ing up the real prospect.
"If we didn't have the tough
dates we have this fall," says
Little, II should not be so
down in the mouth but we've
got six bang-up games to get
out of our systems and it'll take
all, and I'm afraid, more, than
we have to hold our own against
some of our opponents.
"For instance, there's Davis
Elkins on Saturday, Oct. 8, the
third team we play. After I
signed to play them, was half
sorry I'd taken on such a for
midable team at such an early
period in the schedule, and now
that my material isn't shaping
up any better than it is, I'm
really alarmed about Davis
Elkins."
In one respect, however, Little
is consoled by the fact that his
boys will face Davis-Elkins the
week after that eleven plays
Navy, and the Georgetown
mentor feels that at least he'll
get a crack at the invaders only
seven days after Ingram's bunch
has taken some of the steam out
of them. This may augur in
Georgetown's favor, and if
Davis-Elkins can be mastered,
Little will at least feel that a
good start has been made. The
Lafayette game at Griffith
Stadium Nov. 5 is another con-
test Little is appIeHensive IF
and strangely enough West Vir-
ginia and Syracuse do not hold
such fears for the hssd coach.
