EMMTTsBURG, Nd, Sept. IS.
The Mountain Boys" as Mt. St.
Mary's team is known up here,
are coming down to washington,
D. c., Saturday afternoon de-
termined to ditch Georgetown'S
football cart, though Coach Ar
thur Reds" Malloy, his assistant,
Eddie Ryscavage, and j. Earl
Bender, graduate manager Of ath-
letics, will be satisfied with a
creditable showing.
The players, knowing what VIC
tory over Georgetown spells, have
plunged into their daily drills
with spirit and enthusiasm. Deep
in their bosoms they have one de-
sire-beat Georgetown. Anyway,
they will provide the Blue and
Gray with more Of a battle than
last year.
There are several striking rea-
sons for this belief. First, the
candidates reported on September
4, whereas last year they gath
cred about the middle of Septem-
ber and had less than two weeks
of training before tackling a
veteran Georgetown eleven. How
ever. Coach Malloy admits his
team is not as far advanced as
he desires.
Besides, Mt. st. Mary's is
sending q veteran cOmbina-
tiOn against Georgetown. Only
Eddie Ryscavage, last years
captain, and Mike Mccall are
missing from the ends and
Jim Topper from guard. The
loss Of RyscaVage, one OF the
greatest ends in college foot
han last season, is keenly
felt. Tom Brew, from Con-
zaga High in Washington,
D. c., who played in . ma
3ority of the games last fall,
il expected to fill TOpper's
vacant guard spot.
Another encouraging factor is
that the Mountain Boys" VIII be
facink almost q new Georgetown
outfit as yet untried in regular
cor1netition. They know the
powerful 1929 Georgetown team
has been riddled by graduationss
and that the reserves and last
years freshmen may not nave

Tou Little system to the Notre
Dame style that Georgetown VIII
use under it's new coach, Tommy
Mills. -.
weakness on the ends, the
need of a Shifty and fleet hall:
back who can keep his feet and
lack of capable substitutes lessen lesser
Mt. st. Mary's chances. Inc

Coach MallOy. IF Saturday
Is q hot afternoon, as was the
case last year, I'm afraid both
teams will have to call upon
our reserves as the regulars
wont survive the heat.
"And there's where George
town will have the rub on us.
They'll have supply OF re-
serves almost the equal Of the
starting players. But perhaps
some of my subs may come
through with . smashing

Mike Tracy, another Gonzaga
High product who has been at
the Mount" for three years and
has been used at quarterback and
halfback, has been shifted to an
end. Malloy believes he will be
O success there.
Before the season starts, Mt
st. Mary's received staggering
blow. Joe Lynch. who also came
from Gonzaga, was taken i'll soon
after reporting and has been
sent to his Washington home tc
recover. He played a slashine
game in the backfield last year
but, prior to his illness, Coach
Malloy had been using Lynch at
end in an effort to erase the de-
ficiency in this department.
Mt. st. Mary's will lineup with
Tracy and Hopkins, ends: Zubris
and Holland, tackles: Boggs and
Brew, guards: Capt. Jerry Rys.
cavage, center: Connell, quarter
back: Dooley and Binkert, half.
backs, and Wolfe, fullback.
Holland, the former Eastern
High, Washington, ID. c., star,
reported In great shape and
Malloy highly prizes him as
he does Tom Brew, who
learned his early football
training at GonEaga High.
Hopkins and Binkert are new
comers, the former hailing from
Crosby High, Waterbury, Conn,
and the latter from Central Cath
olic High, Toledo, Ohio.
Substitutes who may see SER
vice are Valibus, Ferne and Hur-
ley, ends; Kennedy, Soens and
Gallant, tackles: Popoli and Dia-
mond, guards; Jake Farrell. cen
ter; McLane, Matte, Dewey and
Edelen, backfieId men.
