on to win. 1t was a brilliant grid
game.
Interesting Games
Somehow or other these George
toWn'WeSt Virginia Wesleyan
games manage to be interesting,
more or less sensational and hard
fought. Saturdays is expected to
live up to the reputation estab-
lished by the games of 1923, 1929
and 1890. The two teams did
not meet last year.
"G. U. Jack" Hagerty may be
able to bring out the latent power
in the Hoya squad. Tommy Mills
was momentarily expecting his
outfit to click when he was di-
vorced from grid activities at
Georgetown. Mills has always
said that when the Georgetown
team properly functioned some
team would take a bad pasting.
Hagerty's attacking formation
is a simple one to master. There
are few intricate details, as COM
pared to many in the Notre Dame
style Of play. Proper execution
Of fundamentals, ever difficult to
attain, will win the remaining
games on the Hoya schedule.
Hagerty can bring the
Georgetown squad to proper exc
cution of fundamentals remains
to be seen.
Powerful Runners
Kelly and Parcelles are two big,
fast men. They are powerful
runners. Hagerty should be able
to find some way to take advan-
tage Of their weight, strength and
speed.
The Hilltoppers have a number
Of big linemen, who are fast,
aggressive, and, withal, agile. To
date they have shown only me-
diocre performances on attack.
They have not done badly de-
except in the N. Y. U.
game.
Wesleyan has a brilliant end in
White, three outstanding backs
in Hall, Hull and Beveridge, and
a truly great guard in Blondin.
The Hoyas will have to tackle
surely and with great drive if
they propose to halt Wesleyan's
trio of backfield stars.
SiZeable Crowd Expected
Many persons who follow the
Hilltoppers agree that there will
Georgetown game"
urday afternoon. Many will go
to the ball park to see for them
selves just what has happened to
the team since &c. U. Jack" took
over the coaching reins.
Cebe Ross. who coaches West
Virginia Wesleyan. figures that
his team has better chance this
year to win over Georgetown than
any of the last three Bobcat
elevens to play the Hoyas. Ross
explains last Saturdays 2l-to-2l
tie with the little known Glen
vile Teachers in this manner:
Every now and then a team
springs up which surprises the
football world. Ask Dick Rar-
low, of Western Maryland. He
ran into Marshall College. His
team was tied. Then he took
Western Maryland to Washing
ton and won over Georgetown,
a team considered far and away
better than Marshall College.
GIenvilIe surprised us. The
teachers tied us. We hope the
history of the GeOrgetOwn-Wes-
Ieyan game runs true to that Of
the 1882 Western Maryland
Georgetown game"
