The Washington times., 1929-09-13

Coach Lou Little, not ordinarily
given to going into raptures about
any football candidate at such an
early stage of the season, is loudly
singing the praise of Leary today,
and, in fact, Leary is one of the very
few rays of sunlight that Little
seems to see in his team since the
second phase of the training, scrim'
maging, got under way in earnest
this week.
Heady. shifty, a clear signal caller
and with an ability to shake off
tacklers that is almost uncanny, the
Naugatuck Comm lad asserted his
ability during an afternoon of inter-
team scrimmage between the second,
third and fourth groups which
Georgetown has under way here,
while the first team was taking it
easy in anticipation of it's second
contact with Temple University, very
probably this afternoon.

work here, had been somewhat

SO brightly.
But when Coach Little ordered
these three to take it easy for an
afternoon while some of the more
remote prospects for the varsity
team be given drill, Leary was in
there like a panther and kept up
steady display Of brilliance through
out an entire session.
Little hardly had words enough
to express his praise of Leary and
even at breakfast this morning was
still bubbling over with enthusiasm
in his behalf.
The training camp for 1929 will
wind I'D here tomorrow with the
afternoon practice. Until telephone
communication with Temple UnlVer-
sity could be established this NOM
ing, Coach Little was not sure
whether another scrimmage with
the Owls could be sandwiched IN
between rehearsals or not. He was
anxious to hold it, but some OF his
veterans are hardly in shape to
withstand the gruelling session and
the same is reported to be the case
over at Atlantic where the Owls
are quartered.
Georgetown will again sCrim-
mage with George Washington
at the Hilltop within the next
two weeks, If such a plan rs

Jimmy Pixlee.
The G Street boys scrimmaged
with the Hilltoppers last season
and the season before, both teams

Washington have been so friendly
in the past, that it is not stretching
the truth to say that If George

as formidable a team as George

It has been Georgetown's custom
to offer George Washington the
