Frank Kerjes, Georgetown Uni
versity scout, witnessed New York
US game against West Virginia
Wesleyan last Saturday and re-
ports that power, is the keynote
of the Violets' attack.
Kerjes says that sheer strength
makes the Violet plays click, and
that deception is, by comparison
a minor weapon.
Deceptiveness is the feature OF
Georgetown's style Of play, as
Coach Tommy Mills system
brings out.
But if it's power that will win
against New York University,
then power it will be, according
TO the idea Of things at this.
time.
Coach Mills is still undecided
on his starting lineup for the
game. Fred Callaghan, 6 foot 4
soph center, and Charley Brick
man, veteran right guard, who
was injured to the extent he could
not play last year, are making
strong bids to start.
Leroy Bordeau and Wilmer
Bradley are waging a torrid fight
for the starting fullback's berth.
Mills will not announce his lineup
until Friday.

Whether football players are
little or big, whether coach has
few men reporting for his team
or many, there is no reason why
he should not be able to make
them block and tackle. OF course,
a clumsy man cannot be taught
to do anything well, but the aver.
age college boy who reports for
football can be taught to tackle
and block we'll.
Most important of all, a team
that can tackle and block will
never be beaten badly and will
win a lot of games. For this
reason high scores in early season
games are not due so much to
the difference in size between the
colleges as to the difference in
thoroughnesS in the coaching of
the two teams.
Tackling is not the art today
that it was in the years before
the war, and oldtimers say that
modern youth will not smash
them down as they did Of old
The real reason for this decline
is probably that the game of foot
ball is much more complicated
today than formerly.
Anyone who watches a team
go through its season of train
ing today will admit that a
coach must budget every min.
ute of his time and plan care
fully by running practice on an
exact schedule IL he hopes to
teach all the things that he
wants to give the boys.
There Is no such thing as a
coach wasting time, or stalling for
things to do on the practice field
today. The offense is more COM
plicated and this complicates the
defense. At the same time prac-
tice has been shortened as the col
lege studies are increasing in diff
Guilty.
Another reason for poorer tack.
ling may lie in the fact that
coaches do not have as much
scrimmage as they used to go
through. They usually go 'on the
theory that boy should play his
best football on Saturday against
the outsider, and that he cannot
do this If he is worked too hard
during the week, or If he is in
jured in Scrimmage.
Whatever the answer, there is
little or no doubt that tackling is
poorer today than before the war,
If the tackling we're better you
would see lower scores, because on
almost any play at least one man
will lay hands on a runner. Right
here may be another reason for
poor tackling.

Lacks Kicker
It is probable, and seems al
most obvious, that C. u, opposed
to first flight teams, would not
obtain the full effectiveness OF
its general policy because it does
not have a first grade kicker.
There is a great difference be-
