! Tommy Mills plunges into his
Job today toward moulding his
Georgetown football team with
one serious handicap that will
make its presence felt more and
more each succeeding day.
Having been an assistant coach
at Notre Dame for three years
.laSrior to coming here. Tommy nat
!Rirally is inclined to teach that
psyst e m to his Blue and Gray
|tCllargeS.
| Last spring he put on a long
zaining session in which most
- the fundamentals Of the Irish
ygtem were grounded into the
ndidates. Tomorrow he and his
sistants take up the threads
aGre they left off then, for he
"a his squad of some 40 hope
3 depart for Point Lookout, the
timing site, today.
but when Tommy sounds the
EiOn call for the first drill to-
row morning there is going
y one face missing that means
coat deal to the future vel
Of the Hilltoppers,
The missing face will be
$ Of Tim MOynihan. who
9 signed by Mills last win
to be one of his three
n assistants, Johnny Col
b and Tommy Murphy be-
q the other pair.
Eoynihan, who was the star
ter on the Notre Dame team
three years, likely will never
back to Georgetown. Just a
SAX ago his father was at South
md to approach Rockne about
Keeping Tim at Notre Dame.
fter q long discussion the IA
nous irish coach told him it was
%. K. if Tim wanted to return
there to finish up his two re-
snaining years Of law school work
and at the same time coach the
Notre Dame freshman team.
Tins father then left for
Rawlings, Wyo., to talk the mat
ter over with his husky son. SO
Tim viii go to Notre Dame. Ev-
cry one there is aware that Tim
viii be back, and with Rockne's
word that he would install Tim
as the freshman coach as official
it seems more than likely-in
fact, it seems to be a fact-that
Georgetown has lost a whale CT
O young coach.
OF Moynihan Rockne said:
''Tim is one of the finest lads
I've ever had play under me.
He knows my system from A.
! TO z and can teach it. Tim
has one weakness that worried
! his father greatly and the lat
| Ter felt that the influence here
aE NOtre Dame would be just
! the thing to make a man out
| Of him.
J "Tim has . tendency to be q
Biz wild and indiscreet at times
% his father was worried lest
he not settle down as he should
lf he went elsewhere, SO the
matter of his returning here is
| Observation-Disclosures, moral and
professional. Naturally I'm glad
! 20 have him back because Tim
! has the makings of a fine man
/ and besides he'll develop into
. great coach"
When Mills was asked If he
Thought Moynihan would be back.
his reply was:
"DOn't know. Haven't heard
! o thing from Tim. Both Col
rick and Murphy will be on
the job though, and I'm getting
this boy Davidson, who played
| center for Hunk Anderson's st.
Louis University team last fall,
