eff it were left to me-" said Tom
Mills, the Hoya coach, today,
"about all our games would be
played at night. At Chicago
things were perfect. Nobody ever
once lost sight of the ball and we
played with a brown ball. So far
as the players were concerned 1t
was no different from a daytime
game"
Loss of Charlie Brickman, guard who
broke leg in the clash at Chicago with
Loyola University, is greater blow TO
Georgetown than generally realized.
Il was rejoicing over having found a
real guard" said Mills, when Brick
man was hurt. He played whale OF
@ game all the time he was there"
And some of the keen-eyed boys who
watch the line play as well as follow
the backs say that Brickman was the
most effective performer in the game.
WEST VIRGINIA wEsLEYAlJ's
w showing against New York Uni
versity would indicate not much
more than a stiff workout for the
Hoyas Friday night, but the Bobcats
were taken lightly last year and George
town in the end was forced to apply
pressure to win decisively.
It may be a battle after ell. There
were times when Wesleyan showed
strength against New York Saturday,
once holding the Violets for downs on
the 2-yard line.
The Bobcats promise something in
the way of color. For instance, there's
Clip Battles, halfback.
Wesleyan rushed the ball 26 times and
Clip was the luggey 10 times. OF the
100 yards the Bobcats gained in this
manner, the ZION halfback got 80, II we
are 70 believe the statisticianS.
Also, he scored the Bobcats lone
touchdown with 66-yard gallop.
DOOR old C. VI
I And non-hearted Dutch Berg
man!
When Bergman took over the coach
ing Job at Brookland this year he in
herited about half dozen players OF
unOlSDuLdDle VI COA4oAACA oDtS
promise He was misQuoted to the ef-
feet that he had nine topnotchers.
But now he has-well, it's hardly q
foot ball team.
Johnny Oliver, quarterback, has a
busted elbow and weak ankle. Hugh
Flynn, tackle, has broken f1stula in
his left leg.
Capt. George Menke. guard. has leg
trouble.
Carl De Mello, back, is crippled with
charleyhorse and Ed O'Brien, tackle, Is
nursing bunged shoulder.
Without these men G. U. has no team
worthy Of the name. Most OF the re-
serves are lads who have little more
than hope of becoming foot bah players.
But Bergman. with a long, hard pull
ahead, one that may last two or three
years before worthwhile success can be
achieved, is sticking in there like
Roman.
THE wounded Cardinals have taken
i two terrific poundings so far this
season and what's left Of them viii
make the old college try next Saturday
against Holy Cross.
I'm PIxLEE at George Washington
is not dissatisfied with his Colonials.
They were beaten, 81 to 8, by Rut.
gers, but 1t was their first game ana
they were not outclassed, as the score
might suggest. After the first IL min
utes, we hear from competent witnesses,
George Washington either held its own
or outplayed its foe, and Rutgers they
say, had more powerful team than
was expected.
OF Jack Grossman, Rutgers all
America fulIback candidate, Len Walsh
of the G. w. coaching staff, himself
former all-America, has this to say:
THE people who are talking all
America for Grossman aren't spouting
hot air. This boy is 200-pounder, SIX
feet tall, and, believe me, he can really
CO."
George Washington will play Del
aware College at Newark, N. j., next
Saturday and looks for a hard-earned
victory. Delaware last week defeated
st. Joseph's Of Philadelphia, ID to 8.
NHARYLAND'S potential power was
lNl shown against Yale, and the Ter
rapins' game with North Carolina
at Chapel Hill next Saturday promises
excitement.
The Old Liners spirit will be high
when they go into battle with MEM
DRY of last years 43-0 humiliation, adj
ministered In the main by one OF the
greatest collections of backs ever as
sembled on Dixie eleven.
Carolina still has eight Of the strong
est backheld veterans in the South.
NOU foot ball fans who crave bat
l. tie and care little Of the oppo-
nents' place in the gridiron world
have a choice attraction for Saturday.
American University and Gallaudet
will tangle.
The Eagles have won both their
games and Gallaudet its lone contest,
and how they are primed for that an
nual scrap Saturday!
