Flayed twice in a row by West
ern Maryland and West Virginia
elevens respectively, Georgetown
University win tomorrow night
sendeavor to wipe out the sting Of
these successive reversals. AS
much can be accomplished by up
setting powerful Michigan State
under the floodlights at Griffith
Stadium.
When these teams line UP for
the kickoff at 8:15 o'clock the
Hoyas will be confronted by .
circumstance strikingly similar to
one Of several years ago. Back in
1922 one Of the greatest George.
town elevens in history struck a
Snag.
Consecutive jOlts were ad-
ministered the Blue and Gray
by the An Marines, Holy
Cross and Georgia Tech.
WhereupOn the H0yas, then
directed by Al Exendine,
pulled themselves together to
turn back BuclneIl and pow
,erful Lafayette.
The Michigan State contingent,
which arrived here early this
morning, Is undoubtedly one Of
the most formidable elevens en-
tertained by Georgetown since
1922 when Lafayette was beaten
in that memorable poSt-SeaSon
game.
Incidentally the Hoyas scored
q ten-strike In counting the State
men among their 1880 opponents.
When that team was first Sched-
uled it boaSted no particular rec
ord. Now 1t holds q top-notch
mid-weStern ranking and stacks
up favorably with the country's
Standout machines.
With everything to gain and
nothing to lose their objective,
the HoyaS will be primed TO turn
loose their best against Michigan
State. Coach Tom Mills is salts
fled that his combination is Wis
IDLY improved and goes so far as
t. admit that the visitors may
experience o jolt.
The rugged Nfichiganders,
upon their arrival here today,
admitted o healthy respect
for the HilItOppers. But, bar
ring the totally unexpected,
they expect to register.
The broad Shouldered athletes
who beat out supposedly invincible
Colgate and fought mighty Michi.
gan to q SCorelesS tie, have had
their goal crossed but once while
maintaining an undefeated slate.
They hope to follow up this show.
ing with an equally spectacular
performance against the HoyaS.
The visitors, who win be playing
their initial night game, will re-
ceiVe preliminary baptism in a
secret practice at Griffith Sta
dium tonight. There they will &C.
custom themselves to the glare Of
the floodlightS while tapering off
for Georgetown'S biggest home
game Of the year.
Coach Tommy Mills was
here, there and everywhere
yesterday while sending his
gridirOners through . Cruel
ling drill In the mud. Driving
his men at top speed, he ap-
peared well pleased with the ,
fire and determination ex-
hibited by the mud-stained
youngsters.
The forward wall, while still in
consistent, is evidencing consider
able Improvement - particularly
from q defensive standpoint. Mush
Dubofsky continues to stand out,
as does Capt. Johnny Morris, a
worthy successor Of the great
Claude Grigsby.
Johnny Bozek, too, is breaking
away and twisting off dazzling
gains and promises to shine as a.
pinch bali runner when next called
upon.
A virtual toSS-up is predicted
for. the Catholic University-New
River football game which is to
be presented in the Catholic Uni
verSity Bowl Saturday. Play starts
at $3.50 o'clock.
Against q fair field Of oppo-
nentS New River has clicked con-
sistently and promises to put UP
O stout fight against the locals.
The Cardinals, looking ahead
to their first 1880 victory, are
working out tireleSsly and hope
to; be at their best for this game.
