POINT LOOKOUT, Md, September
17.-Georgetown Universitys principal
hope for an outstanding foot ball star
, this Fall is the least spirited lad in
hcamp. Johnny Bozek's phlegmatic de-
meanor is noticeable among probably
the peppiest lot of gridironers that ever
A'rallied to the Blue and Gray.
In contrast is the attitude OF his kid
brother, Emile, also a backfield candt-
date Emile, who showed lots Of prom
Use last year, is all dash and go. There
is no question in the mind Of Head
n Coach Tom Mills that he will be a
greatly improved ball toter when
Georgetown opens its 1880 campaign,
Observers here are not so sure Of
Johnny. Some go so far as to con-
lecture on whether the youth who
well for spell with Georgetown hasn't
lost much OF hts interest in the game.
Counted Upon as Ace.
Ever since it became known that
Georgetown would switch this year 10
Notre Dame foot ball there has been
much talk among Hoya followers OF
Johnny Bozek's chance of coming
through in q grand way.
The open game OF South Bend with
more resort TO timing than force has
been reckoned ideal for the slender,
slippery Johnny, whose spectacular
broken field running in prep school days
made him one of the most sought coll
legiate prospects In the East.
In justice to the New Hampshire
youth it must be noted that he hasn't
been blessed with fair share of luck
since coming to Georgetown. Last year
he was unable to report for practice
until the rest OF the gang were we'll
on the way to playing shape. For a
time 1t was thought he wouldn't report
at all.
by injury He hobbled on crutches for
a time and now is favoring an ankle.
TT may be that Johnny is like Johnny
i Groves, who was a backfield bearcat
at Maryland several years ago.
Groves had no zest for practice and
might not have made the team If Coach
Curley Byrd hadn't known his latent
ability.
Through the week he was a slug
gard, but on Saturday, with the spur
of battle. he was almost the life of the
team Terrapin supporters still talk of
the great forward-p passing combination
of Grove and McQuade.
a ND speaking of forward passing,
"A watch the Georgetowners heave
that oval this Fall!
Mills has three complete backfelds,
and no matter which combination is
used, there will be at least one player
with better than average ability TO pass
and the squad is replete with skilled
receivers
Outstanding as a HEAVIER is Johnny
Scalzi quarterback. Scalzi can shoot
the short ones like a bullet, and when
distance Is the order, one well just as
well hand him q base hall
incidentally, Scalzi has ever been a
hard worker in practice, but this year
he's surprising all previous efforts.
John (cLIPPER) SMITH, new mem
Der of Tom Mills coaching stan, is
well liked here. For several rea-
sons, but one in particular, it's a Joy
to Mills to have him around. Clipper
is the shortest member of Toms staff
and, to put it Mills way, Hes the
only one I don't have to look up tot"
At that Tom does bit of sly tip
toeing when he and Clipper measure
OF.
TT isn't difficult to see why Smith was
i great performer at Notre Dame,
captaining the team in 1923. Ex-
cept in scrimmage the workouts have
been in shorts, and Clippers physique
stands out. -
His arms particularly are impress
sive. Tarzan would envy them. He
has foot ball legs, foot ball brains and
foot ball temperament
Johnny Colrick is tall and inclined
to slenderness. The giant of the group
Is Tom Murphy. He's one big guy.
AGnLS hasn't scrimmaged his gang
III as much as he'd like, due to in
juries. Many of the boys are
limping with slight hurts and material
is too scarce for Tom to take chances
Today's scrimmage will be only the
second since the squad came to camp
here more than two weeks ago.
