CHANGES PERK UP
INTEREST IN TEAM
Maryland Hopes to Get Even
for Freak Victory Won by
Gamecocks in '28.
BY r. ID. THOMAS.

@HERE'S feeling among George
town foot ball folk that Emile
Bozek and Joe Gardner will put
Il a kick in the Blue and Gray
backfield. Interest in the team
has been perked up by their promotion
to first-strtng places.
Bozek and Gardner will start against
St.. Louis University Saturday at Crit
fifth Stadium, and they will be the
center of attention when the first
whistle tootS. Following the defeat by
Western Maryland it was obvious that
something had to be done about that
backf1eld or Georgetown was to take q
beating in almost every game.
The contest barely was over when one
heard from many lips the names of
Emile Bozek and Joe Gardner. They
had flashed a bit in the opening contest
with Mount st. Mary'S: in fact, had out
shone the regulars, but it was an unim-
portant game and their excellent show
ing was attributed more to greater zeal
than mechanical superiority over the
flrSt-stringers.
But quite the same prevailed in the
Western Maryland clash. Certainly
Bozek and Gardner were not the least
effective members of the Blue and Gray
backfleld that day. Some say they were
the best. Anyway, Coach Little thought
he saw in them ray of sunshine pierre
ing the cloud Of Georgetown disappoint-
ment
Little has been unable so far to dig
UP q lad with all the qualifications Of q
quarterbacker. In this role he will try
Gardner, the smallest man on his squad.
Joe weighs lat pounds.
Maryland on Saturday will attempt to
get even with team that scored q
rather freak victory over the Terrapins
last year-South Carolina. The Came
cocks failed to make a first down in
Maryland territory, and were outgained
six first downs to three, yet won by a
decisive score-21 to 7. Six punts were
fumbled by Maryland, and five Of them
were recovered by Gamecocks.
South Carolina was beaten 60 by
Virginia last Saturday in a brilliantly
contested game in which the Gamecocks
gained asa yards against 257 for the
Cavaliers. X
Jim Pixlee, at George Washington, is
reported blessed with excellent material
for next years varsity and hopeful Colo
NAL adherentS viii be on hand next FRI
day to size up the yearlings when they
face the Georgetown freshmen on the
Hilltop.
Those daily watchers of practice at
American University haven't been
pleased lately with the varsity's scrim-
maging. The scrub team has had little
difficulty blocking punts. Coach Walter
Young is striving to rid the team Of
staleneSs that set in after its over
whelming defeat of Shenandoah.
However, the Eagles have been heart
ened by the announcement that Alfred
johnson, Central High star last year,
would be eligible for Saturday morn
ing's battle with George Washington in
Eastern Stadium The Eagles expect
to make their best showing ever against
the downtown institution. The game
conflict with other attractions here.
Young has threatened to make sew
eral important shifts in his regular
lineup unless the first-Stringers put
more snap into workouts.
Ken Provincial. and Bob Brennan,
ends, and Gene Driscoll, guard, are lost
to Georgetown for the st. Louis game.
Driscol may be out for several weeks
with q wrenched knee, Provincial has
a Clipped collarbone and Brennan has
neuritis.
Charley Walsh was sent to Driscoll's
place in yesterdays practice, Shing
Wyncoop was switched from center to
end and Bill Morris played center. Bob
Gehringer remained on one flank.
Joe Champa Is the. only Catholic Uni
verstty backheld regular in shape for
the clash with Baltimore University
Capt. Malevich, Johnny Oliver and
Gene Murphy are injured.
Coaches McAuliffe and Gagnon are
working on Larry Martin, Ted Bonetu
Jack McGrath and Fred Guarnieri ia
an effort to form a new backfield with
a punch: Martin played quarterback
on the indicated freshman team last
year.
Gallaudet and st. Johns will play
their game at Annapolis Saturday at
10 am, the early hour having been ar
ranged to permit the st. Johns team
and many of its adherents to see the
Navy-Notre Dame clash at Baltimore
