tvs foot ball squad, are more than
welcome to Tom Mills, who hasn't
had enough men sound of body
to carry on what the coach would
desire in the way of scrimmage.
Dillon, a 190-pound end. was a CEN
ter and forward on the basket ball team
last Winter. Bill Thompson is a TO-
pound halfback; Bill Geret, 155 pounds,
plays a half, and Wilder, 165, is an end.
They will be drilled in fundamentals
for some time before taking part in
scrimmage.
Today Mills was hopeful of getting
a better line on his players, who were
to oppose the freshman team in hard
scrimmage at the Griffith Stadium.
1t is likely that most of the varsity
squad will see action in the game S\.\
urday with Mount st. Mary's that will
open the Hoyas' campaign.
Mills won't know until after this game
If not still another clash whom he will
depend upon for regulars. Seldom in
so evenly matched. This fits in we'll
with the coachs scheme inasmuch as
he expects to 60 in for the shock-troop
system.
Hoya supporters who have seen the
young fallah in practice are heartily
pleased to learn that Joe Alenty, whose
back was injured, will be able to re-
join the squad probably by the end of
next week. A torn ligament and no
vertebrae fracture is Alenty's trouble,
it has been revealed by X-ray.
joe looked conner at halfback in
drills at Point Lookout.
DUKE WHITE, a reserve last year,
-. Is impressing Coach Pixie of
George Washington with his punt
ing ability. Yesterdays drill was the
first of the season for White, but most
of his kicks travelled so yards or more
There's barely a man in the Colonial
squad who isn't nursing q minor all
nlent or two, but there is no grouching.
Billy Wells and Bill Vogt, freshman
end and quarterback last year, have
returned to the grind after recuperat-
ing from hurts.
Blackie Hoffman, varsity back last
year, is improving his drop-kicking
Bob Galloway, left end; Zachary De-
mas, right guard, and Joe Carter. half
back, are Colonial freshmen of 30 who
figure to be varsity regulars.
DARKNESS had fallen before Curley
- Byrd finished with his Maryland
Terrapins yesterday. Curley turned
on the flood lights and it was getting
on toward z o'clock when he excused
the gang.
Maryland will probably hold a light
scrimmage and then devote the rest Of
the week to polishing up plays for the
opener with Washington College Sat-
urday in Byrd Stadium.
The squad is in excellent physical
shape; No Terrapin. is hurt seriously
enough to forego scrimmage.
. BOARDING the coming campaign
II all else is excluded from the minds
of Catholic University's warriors
except the Boston College clash next
Saturday in Beantown. The Cardinals
are toiling like beavers over Eagle for
nations, with concentration of both
offensive and defensive aerial play.
The Cardinals still are assailed by the
injury jinx. Latest to join the cripples
Is Bert Nimphtus, reserve guard, who
busted his beak yesterday. He isn't
likely to be available Saturday.
NO11NRL pANGLE, WHO returned I'M
expectedly to Gallaudet, was al
most nlobbed by enthusiastic stud
ents. They had given UP the brilliant
back who last year was the eighth lead
ing point scorer in the country.
Ringle'S return boosted Gallaudet'S
hope sky high. The Blues now have
intact the backf1eld which played
sparkling foot bali last year.
Johnny took things easy In his first
workout yesterday, but will turn on the
steam soon as properly limbered.
