must be short today.
There are many reasons
therefor.
In the first place it's
Saturday half-holiday, except
in newspaper offices where they
do their stuff winter and sum-
mer, rain or shine, drought or
flood.
In the second place it's too
hot to read and therefore too
hot to write. Howsomever, there
are one or twI things we
thought you ought to know be-
fore you go uWay for your
weekend.
Tommy Mills will be back at
the Hilltop on August 20 to
start the football rolling at
Georgetown for 1880.
Gabe Murphy, graduate man.
ager for the Blue and Gray,
has been holding the athletic
reinS all summer and will
have Mr.. Mills desk pretty
we'll cleared for action when the
mentor returns from Beloit,
pronounced Belloi.
But as we were saying, it's
too hot to work, and why work,
when ones public volunteers to
do it for you, as witness the
following from Alfred BrySon,
of the Chevy Chase Brysons.
Heaven bless ,, q on this hot,
miserable day:
Although one could never
believe it from the weather of
the past month and present
date, the good old football sea-
son is rushing closer every day,
and suppose it won't be long
before Tom Mills. the dynamic
athletic director and head foot
ball coach of Georgetown,
Wash1ngton's big league entry
in the national football sweep
stakes, will be back in D. G.
getting the loose ends together
for another gridiron season.
Though confronted with
hard task because of the loss
of the entire line Of Lou
Little's sterling team of last
fall. Tom will be blessed with
some mighty sweet backfield
men with which to mould his
1880 club. In fact. having the
two Bozeks GilliS, Bordeaux,
Scalzi. Leary, King. Maczees,
Danieu and others from last
years team plus several likely
looking freshmen, will make
Mills backfield material the
envy of other coaches in and
around Washington.
THE task of building a line
to compare with last years
mighty Rock of Gibraltar
front wall of Cordovono,
Mooney, Liston, Walsh, Provin-
cial, ct al. would be the hardest
kind of tasl: to hand to any
coach, but with the Notre Dame
system working in some degree
of smoothneSs, it Is a good bet
that Georgetown will have fine
offensive and highly Spectacu-
lar club, with the array Of backs
on hand to work with, even II
they do not win all of their
games.
Noting that several columns
ago you mentioned the fact that
a majority of the local football
contests were to be played at
night under the floodlights, we
would like to say that it is a
great break for the hundreds
of us who are employed Satur-
day afternoons and in the past
have had to be satisfied with
an occasional Sunday afternoon
sandlot gridiron game.
II know of seven or ei-ht
chaps who are employed in the
same office and shop with me,
who in the past have been
forced to forego seeing local
football engagements on Satur-
oay afternoons, because they
had to work for a living and
their jobs or occupations were
such that they could not get
away afternoons,
"Also, many of our friends in
the Government departments
have exhausted their annual
leave by the time October and
November come around and for
that reason cannot get out to
Griffith Stadium to see George
town play or over to Annapolis
to see the Navy in action.
Therefore Georgetown and
George Washington did those
of us mentioned above, a great
big favor by announcing the
playing of their respective foot
ball contests at night.
Closing with the added hope
of reading your interesting
yarns from the training camp
at Point Lookout, Nd, next
