Dohnny Scalzi may be the
Georgetown quarterback in
hhe four big games that loom
ahead for the Hoyas immedi-
ately following Saturday s
game with Lebanon Valley.
This feeling is not very out
spoken, nor is it by any means
certain. In fact, it's more bunch
then anything else. The most Inn
portant factor that leads to this
belief Is that while Scalzi and Gard
ner were both in the game at the
came time late in the West Virginia
Wesleyan encounter that Scalzi and
not Gardner called the signals, rot
withstanding the fact that Gardner
started the game and played the
entire first half as the quarterback.
Whether Scalzi creates more
smoothness and gets better results
from mis- backs than Gardner or
not also enters into considera ton,
for it seems that the team clicks
better with Scalzi doing the direct
ing.
1t was while Johnny was calling
the plays that Georgetown did it's
scoring. Whether this came about
from ScalZi's superior leadership or
that Wesleyan players were firing
1S debatable. But the fact remains
that Scalzi was successful in sus-
tanning the Georgetown attack and
this may make no little difference

Coach Lou Little.
The most important factor in
behalf of Scalzi gaining the
call over Gardner is that he Is
by far the best passer on the
whole Georgetown squad.
Added to this is the fact that
Scalzi also is perhaps the most eff
f1ctent back in the squad on the
cut-back play off tackle. He gets
to the line of attack in a hurry and
IL wizard at keeping on his feet
and shaking off tacklers. Because
OF short, powerful build he is a
mighty hard man to tackle a<d
down and has turned in some of
the longest runs by any Hlltopper
pack this season just on account
Of this.
In the Wesleyan game Scalzi en-.
Slneered the smartest and most out
standing play of the day when he
made a quick, surprise punt that
caught his opponents unawares and
directly paved the way for George
town first touchdown. Just after
the Hoyas had suffered a 25.vard
penalty to put them back on their
own 40-yard line Johnny fell back
and punted. The ball was downed
on Wesleyan's 2.yard mark. Forced
