again. Let's forget that West
ern Maryland game. But if
we don't snap out of it we II
take another licking Satur-
day."
Thus did Coach Lou Little address
his Georgetown football squad when
he assembled them yesterday to be-
gin practice for the st. Louis U.
game Saturday in Griff Stadium.
OF course, Coach Little had more
to say to his athletes than the
above, but it was all in similar
vein. He sounded much like
father appealing to a hayward son
to turn over a new leaf.
Coach Little also pointed out the
many mistakes made by his players
in the game against the Green
Terrors. 1t goes without saying
that these errors are quite unlikely
to be repeated. The squad, to a
man, appeared depressed when It
first took the field, but after a
vigorous signal drill in which new
plays were rehearsed and old ones
gone over, the morale was on the
upward grade.
In an effort to strengthen his
backfield Coach Little put Joe
Gardner I'm the signal calling
role in place OF Scalzi, replace
Schmid with Leary and kept
Emile BOzek and Hudak In
there. This quartet likely will
start against st. Louis l..
Johnny Bozel may get into satur-
days game. Whether he does or not
depends on what condition he rounds
into by the end of the week. Coach
Little has him running at left half
back in the second-striI. backfield
where he Is quickly abs rbing the
plays and familiarizing himself with
the new style Of play now used.
Ken Provincial may or may not be
able to play Saturday. He suffered
a wrenched shoulder. II he is un-
able to get into the game, Don Don
aldson likely wilf' get his chance to
perform. Don looks like the fastest
end on the squad and Is an adept on
sharing passes. Don Brennan. the
other regular end, Is suffering from
neuritis in his shoulder which may
also keep him on the sldellnes'
Gehringer will fill in for him IL neces-
sary. Beyond the ordinary bruises
and bumps of battle there were no
other casualties and all the other
members of the squad are in tp'top
shape. =.
Injuries have robbed Coach Nc
Auliffe, of Catholic u, OF the use
Of three players temporarily, While
Maryland also Suffered in its game
with North Carolina. Bill Heintz,
regular Old Line guard, suffered
broken bone in his hand and will
not be ready to resume play for
month. To offset his loss, Roberts,
halfback; Ribnitzki, tackle, and
Heagy, end, all Of the first squad,
and Berger. end, and Miller, half
back, of the reserves, will be in
perfect shape to go against South
Carolina Saturday. All reported yes.
terday in good condition and are
feeling fit.
Capt. Jack Malevich. is the
most seriously hurt of the Cath"-
lie U. trio. The big fullback suf-
fered the recurrence of an old
knee injury early in the Mt. st.
Mary's game and probably will
be out of action two or three
weeks.
Quarterback Oliver and Bob
O'Connor, big. aggressive tackle.
also were bunged up enough SO that
1t isn't likely they will rlay this
saturday unless absolutely neces.
ssry. Larry Martin will be used
as quarterback in divers place.
and Neal McGrath more than likely
will get the call to fill O'Connor's
shoes. Fred Guarenri and Ted
Bonetti, both sophs, are fighting an
even battle to fill Malevich's place.
Jack McGrath is another posi-.
bility for this berth. DeMolle ap-
parently has cinched the left half
back position temporarily, at least
until Gene Murphy Is in shape to
resume active duty.
j The George Washington and
American U. squads are putting in
hard ticks of practice every after
noon this week for their Saturday
encounter. Defeated by the Colonials
10 to last year. the American u
Eagles are determined to gain re,
venge. Coach Walter Young has
given his charges several new plays
Tor use in this game.
II Coaches Connaughton and Walsh
are saying little but working hard
with their squad Of G. w. players.
they will have a few plays Of their
nwn to spring on the Eagles, too.
