.HOYA POWER ISN'T
SHOWN IN RECORD
Mills Team Is Compared to
Strong Motor With One
Cylinder Missing.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

NK ICHIGAN States crack
mn foot ball team, fashioned
1 1 by Jim Crowley, one Of
the Four Horsemen, will
find Georgetown anything but a
pushover Friday night in Griffith
stadium and deep in the heart of
your Hoya loyalist is q feeling
Georgetown may win.
In losing to western Maryland
and West Virginia Georgetown
gave the impression of potential
power, like a strong motor with q
commutator slightly on or one
cylinder missing. Occasionally 1t
clicked and when 1t did results
were startling.
Once against the Terrors and once
against the Mountaineers the Hoyas
Travelled almost the length OF the neid
From scrimmage they gained much
more ground than either Western
Maryland or West Virginia.
They scored more firSt downs, but
as Jim Crowley once observed TO q
hacker of Notre Danes victim after
the Irish had been outScored In nrst
downs but won the game, you don't
count the score OF ball game py the
number of men left on base.
What we meant to say In the first
place, however, was that Georgetown's
team Is stronger than its record In
dicates.
tom MILLS is remindful Of sea
i captain we've read about who was
seasick on every voyage. Before,
during or after every important game
the Hoya chief Is bundle OF nerves.
Foot bah to him is delight and an
agony In defeat Mills Is downright
miserable for q day or two. After that,
nothing but the next game counts.
There's a lot of FIRE In the soul Of
Tom Mills. There's q lot Of fight in his
heart, tempered with things that make
people warm up to him. 30 here's hop
ing, Tom, old scout, that victory brings
JOY in proportion to tbs suffering OF
defeat.
A TRAIN with II cars win bring
"A Michigan States gridders and
rooters and its band. The band
Is said to be one of the finest collegiate
musical organizations in the Middle
West. The Hoyas' footing outfit has
improved nightly In the last year.
President Hoover will lend an ear
Friday to the Michigan Statefs.
TIM PIxLEE, the George washington
coach, has returned from scouting
Tulsa University, whose stadium the
Colonials will help chTisten Friday.
TULSA looks tough" said Pixlee to-
day.
But George washington looked better
In its last game, against Dickinson,
which 1t swamped, than In any other
at least to make Tulsa turn on the
heat. The Colonials have improved
steadily. f
Pixlee was well known and well liked
out Tulsa way before he came to George
Washington, and likely viii have some
well wishers at the game.
GEORGE WASHINGTON has q most
" promising halfback in John Fen
lon. He played the last quarter
against Dickinson and impressed with
his versatility. He ran, kicked and
passed the ball well.
Lyle Sturtevant and Bob Galloway,
ends, are q couple Of gamesters. Gal
loway broke his nose in the South
Dakota game but, rather than remain
out of the contest with Dickinson had
not only went through the battle but
with distinction.
Sturtevant has boil under his arm
but is bent upon playing against Tulsa.
THE defeat of washington and Lee
i by st. Johns of Annapolis. team
previously beaten by Maryland,
isn't likely to effect seriously the at
tendance at the Maryland Washington
and Lee game week from next Sat-
urday.
Washington and Lee and Maryland
have met i've times on the gridiron
and the Generals have won four times.
The games have been close, Maryland
winning the last one, 6 to 0, at Griflth
Stadium here.
Previously Washington and Lee had
won, 10 to z; z to 3, 3 to O, and IS TO 6.
Their clashes always have been COLI
orful and the one on November 8
doubtless will be no exception.
