This is the question that
followers of local football are
arguing today. While there
seems some division Of opinion,
for the most part the answer
might be said to be affirma-
tive, but this is qualified to
indicate the team may i'm
prove still more.
Certainly against St. Louis u.
there was a noticeable general I'M
provement in all departments of
play. But there is still a lack Of the
final scoring punch which when
developed, should take the Hilltop
pers right out Of the category of
speculation and definitely establish
them as having fully arrived.
Defensively Georgetown is all that
could be desired. Not only is this
true of the line. but the backs also
come in for a large share of praise
in this department. too. Their work
against the st. Louis club was
revelation. Leary, in particular,
Shone, but to single him out from
the other backs would be an injus-
tice to them. Each and every one
carried on in brilliant fashion
whether in rushing to the forward
wall to halt plunges Or in falling
back to ward off passes.
A rugged yOungster named
DubOfsky got into the game Sat
urday and gave q sterling exhi.
bition of line play that Coach
Little probably will be torn be-
tween using him or DriscOl in
future games.
Dubofsky replaced Driscon half
way through the second quarter and
was in there until the finish. And
what tower of strength he was.
Plays coming his way were piled
up like they had run into stone
wall. In fact, he was so tough that
the st. Louis quarterback wearied of
sending plays through his side of the
line and abandoned the idea alto
gether.
The return to form OF Captain
Jim Mooney in punting was another
pleasing feature. The big fellow
means many yards saved in a game
when he is kicking right for he gets
them off plenty far and accurately.
His average Saturday was slightly
more than so yards and it was this
factor largely that kept the st. Louis
team constantly on the defense or
in possession of the ball only deep
in it's own territory.
The tackling was highly improved
When an opponent was tackled he
was tackled. There was no wrigg-
ling awav or no falling forward for
an extra yard, or even an extra inch.
Joie Gardner handled the team
nicely in the quarterback role and
but for overanxiety might have
given Georgetown another touch.
down. The stage was all set for
sleeper" play with one Of his ends
well hidden on the sidelines and
starting up tho field alone on one
occasion, but Joe in hurrying the
pass to him tried to throw it before
he, had a good purchase on it. the
ball consequently grounding short.
The return of Johnny EOzek
to the team seems to add life
to it, too. Johnny got just a
touch of action Saturday, and,
while he did nothing startling,
indicated that he soon would be
ready.
Saturday. the Hilltoppers take on
West Virginia Wesleyan and, if
they continue playing in the form
they exhibited Saturday, the word
will be lookout" When George.
town reveals the form it is capable
Of. it will be a match for any team.
There is some distance yet to go
before this stage Is reached, but
Saturdays exhibition was healthy
indication that it is on the way.
