GEORGETOWN begins SprinS
4 foot ball practice today. Hoac
Y Coach Lon Little plans to SCI
tcse;her ali the members OF
the 1927 freshmen squad anc
all others not members OF other varsity
teams for a preliminary discussion O.
p.ans The practice for INC trSl week
nr IN osys will be varied indoors and
e,,.6o,-s as the weather lUStiaes. Little
cIsns 10 continue practice until the
Easter holidays.
we rot a lot out Of Spring practice
last wear" said Little this morning
'arc L We run practice this Sprlng as
Il we mean what We are doing. ne shall
&c. a lot out ot i again. do not know
exactly how many men We shall have
out for Spring workouts. but probably
tire SQUAD Will ;TiT UP 70 50 or so. You
know that last year We played real
foot bal !r or Spring workouts and
went INTO blocking and charging oTae-
tice Ius. as Il games we're going 70 be
risved al the cnd Of each week. This
Spring we expect 30 Go the same thing
and in addition 10 that get good dea.
of lecture work across on the fanda-
mental theory Of foot ball.
The WY We run Spring foot bail we
do not interferG Ssth any other varsity
sport. II an athlete IS gooS enough 10
play on The base ball team or make the
track SQUAD we let him do thai and
our Spr!rg gri6!ron SQUAD is made up
of the whole freshman outfit and the
members Of the varsity squad who are
not on ore Of the Spring teams. This
is an excellent arrangement, as 1t IN
lures no other sport and Stil! gives the
foot ball men who would be idle an OPP
portunity 20 get some development. II
is not our IDEA particularly. as I be-
leve this is about the arrangement now
In effect at al institutions
Little plans 10 begin his practice to-
6sv not only with a talk about plans
for Spring foot ball, but by actually
giving the squad plays 50 that no time
will be wasted on the field. Little plans
to divide his men in Two squads ano
have them 90 through some 1901 oail
Under ss near real game conditions as
car be spproxinated.
Georgetown's and Maryland's relay
teams are in New YORK tonight 10 race
New York Athletic Club games. The
Blue and Gray has not had an oppo-
rert picked to- 4. but the manage
r,ert OF the meet Is enceayor!1g TO line
uu Holy Gross. Georgetown lost to Holy
Cross two weeks ago n race that was
lust about as close as could have Deen
for one side. 10 win and the other lose,
but K seems that IL is not anxious for
a return match. At least. it is said
st GEORGETOWN that the Massachusetts
four so far has not consented 10 run
again. Georgetown is hoping that Holy
Cross Will be its opponent. because II
believes il can win.

Maryland is 10 run against Yale and
Pennsylvania. Something Of what the
Old Liners are likely 10 accomplish will
depend in large measure On the oordi-
ton Of Thomas, WHO runs third. In a

leg sti9ened Up good deal. II seemed
70 be better this morning, however. and
