So with four hard games to be
played during November, Little is
overlooking no likely candidate
for the interferer'S task these
days. He hopes to find in the
squad this week a few big fellows,
give them some intensive train
ing and shoot them into the
Saturday engagement with Leb-
anon Valley at Griffith Stadium
for a test under fire. And if one
Of those to be tried proves fairly
good, Little will consider himself
fortunate.
THAT am looking for a good inter-
ferer is no reflection upon those who
have been playing in the Georgetown
backf1eld," Little remarks. For their
size they are good backs. They are
earnest and game fellows. But a big,
fast man is needed to take out the
opposing tackle or end and clear path
for the ball carrier. Believe me, no
matter how Sure-footed and agile ball
carrier may be, he will not get very
far unless he has good interference.
Heft Is Necessary.
everything in the way of offense, so
far as the backfield is concerned, de-
ponds upon the strength and skill of
the interfering backs. They must know
their business thoroughly and have the
build and power to carry on with 1t.
Until players so equipped are developed
at Georgetown the backf1eld will not be
as powerful as major teams backfleld
should.
There are several in the squad we
hope to improve to such. an extent they
will be helpful to this years backfield.
a husky youngSter from Northern New
York, who played with the Malone High
School. Bordeau. a sophomore, is 5
feet IL inches tall and weighs in the
neighborhood of 100 pounds. He has
improved greatly during the last few
weeks, but he has long way to go yet
before he may be regarded as high
class interferer and defensive back. But
Bordeau looks the best available, and
we are working hard with him.
"Gillis, too, may be made into good
back for interference play. He is an
aggressive type, and knows what he is
supposed to do. But ellis, too, still
needs much drilling along this line. 1
hope we get these good interfering backs
soon. Why, behind capable interference
that would give them chance to get
away, Johnny Bozek and Leary would
be among the toughest ball-carriers in
the country to stop"
Little believes that with the addition
of one or two good interfering backs
Georgetown can get much more use
from Johnny Bozek. This feet back,
who still needs more conditioning work,
as he Joined the squad rather late,
Little considers one of the most versa
tile backs in the game.
II hope to employ BoZek as a triple
threat" says the Georgetown coach.
Johnny is good kicker, a fine passer,
and everyone knows how well he can
carry the ball. With him kicking and
passing, as we'll as running. the George
town backfield would be improved at
least so per cent. But we must have
the good interferers and defensive backs
to permit Johnny to work in such
manner"
May Call Signals.
Little also has an idea of using Bozek
es a signal caller.
Hes a smart foot ball player, is
Johnny" Little contends, land would
not hesitate to employ him as the
Georgetown teams field general. Those
who have been calling signals have
done we'll. They have succeeded admir-
ably. in fact, with a light backfleld But
I think Johnny might prove somewhat
better. I hope to try him as a signal
caller soon"
Little isn't worrying particularly about
his line, which is composed in the main
of veterans. He opines 1t will with
stand the gaf Of the hard November
schedule.
"I would like to see it perform bit
more aggressively," he states, but it
knows its foot ball pretty well, and
should improve with every game. IN
fortunately, there are not many line
requirements at hand, and We are now
forced to employ rather inexperienced
ends. But the Georgetown line isn't
bothering me or any others having to
do with the team.
Give us a husky back or two. That's
what we need more than anything else
With a stalwart or two mixed with a
pair OF feet ball-carriers we have,
Georgetown might startle the foot ball
world in November"
