The first scrimmsge of the
Y / year was held here today for
the George Washington Co.
l3nials and it showed that the PiX.ee
men are fest reaching playing form.
There was a certain raggedness which
was bound to be evident in the first
combat Of this nature, but on the whole
indications were that the Co!onials per-
haps will have slightly stronger team
than last year.
No attempt was made to pick a first
or second team and the strength was
pretty well split up as the two elevens
took the field
Several OF the veterans of last years
team look like they'll have their work
cut out for them in holding their posi-
tions.
Chief among the youngsters who
looked good today were Conn and bikes
centers; Hickman at guard. Nielsen al
tackle and Fouts and Edmonds at end
Gilliland. Parrish and Asher were the
outstanding backs.
Johnny Fenlon, who showed plenty of
ball-packing ability last Fall. ripped off
several nice gains with Art Wrimel-
meyer and ice Carter, two 80 backs,
blocking for him. Walter Slaird showed
up well at tackle. Last year he was out
Of the lineup with a bad leg and got
into only the Catholic U. and Navy
games. Chambers and Mulvey went
well at end
Coach Pixlee expressed himself as
well satisfied with the progress the
players have made in their five days

deems it wise to get the foot ballers
started before then. 1t is not expected,
however, that the squad will be COM
plete until the latter part Of the week
Young is looking to better things this
wear. He will have at hand several
members Of the 1880 squad and q group
of newcomers from whom he hopes to
secure some capable talent.
Because it was not certain when the
schedule was arranged last Fall that
the new field would be ready, Young
arranged only one home game. How
ever. he hopes to be able to shift several
other contests to the new field. A re-
yised schedule soon will be announced.
A. US FIST game will be with Lynch

FORK on the new athletic field. which
was leveled from steep hill, has been
in progress several years. The field
now has a good stand Of grass ready
for the foot ball season. 1t is large
enough for all athletics and later will
be provided with quarter-mile track.

quarterback positions.
While Hurley continues to remain

striving for his position. They are Da-

Is Stressing Attack.
The whole pl,n of Miller this year
is to build a team almost entirely on
the offensive, stressing the perfect play
as means of obtaining touchdowns.
Defensive work will not be neglected,
but the work of the backheld will be
watched and developed more than any

J. r. Reedy, who is considered one
OF the leading candidates for the run

man on the squad tipping the scales
at exactly 200, while A. S. Major. back;
r. L. Kibbe, quarterback, and w M

Score by WheIan.

TINE hne-plunging power Of Bus
Sheary, varsity fullback, yester-
day eliminated a stubborn up
hill fight when Catholic Univer--
sity's Reds came from behind to put
over last-quarter touchdown and
deadlock the Blacks in spirited intra-
school foot ball duel at the Brookland
Stadium, to 6.
The intense heat failed to dim the
enthusiasm of the players.
The starting lineup Of the Reds.
comprised mostly of varsity men, was
forged ahead in the first semester and
remained in the van until Sheary un-
loaded his last-ditch fireworks.
The Blacks surprised with Sensa-
tional touchdown in the opening in
stallment when Tom Whelan, halfback
twisted 65 yards off left tackle for 6
points. Charley McVean's placement
try for the point was short.
A fumbled punt recovered by FraatZ
placed the Reds in scoring position dur
ing the second semester. but penaliZa-
ton and the bracing Of the opposition's
forward wall fought off the threat.
Late in the third chapter the Reds
gained the ball. A succession of rushes
had carried it deep into enemy terri
tory at the termination of the third
period. Sheary personally bucked his
way to the Blacks 2-yard line early in
the final period and climaxed his at
tack by making the touchdown. The
placement try for extra score failed
