-OOT BALLS zoomed over the
r newly built athletic field on
Reservoir road, but only a
few of them, yesterday as
Georgetown University gridmen
began preparations for their 1882
campaign.
Only % candidates reported to
Tom Mills, head coach, and his
assistant, Frank Kerejes, but in a
day or two all of the 40 expected
to turn out for the squad will be
at hand, those in charge declared.
They're only out this time to get up
q sweat" said the genial Mills. But
they'll get down to really hard work
as soon as the others report. BY the
end of this week the grind will be on"
ssVITE'RE banking upon a squad of
w 40 this Fall" Mills stated. "A
dozen letter men are to return,
there will be l3 from the reserve lot
VI ldcb SCdoOll dlku tAAC 1oo1 liNo4Ai4dA1
team is to send Is to the squad.
That's enough to work with, feel.
Each boy in a squad of that size gets
4 lot of individual attention. And when
the entire coaching staff is assembled,
Is it will be by tomorrow or next day,
he'll get that attention, too"
It may be written that those in
charge of the Hoyas contemplate no
innovations in the tutoring of the
squad nor in the style of play to be
pursued. Many of the candidates have
had thorough grounding in the Notre
Dame system introduced at Georgetown
by Head Coach Mills and every one
out has been instructed to some extent
according to that system.
All hands will get much more knowl-
edge of it before the Hoyas swing into
their opening tilt with Mount st.
Mary's on October l.
CEoRGErowN's team will have
" plenty of heft and a lot of speed
also If the % who went through
their PAGES yesterday were fair samples
of what the entire squad will be like.
There was beef and apparently Drawn
among the more than score OF young
men clad in a manner suitable to the
day
Only their shoes smacked of the
eridiron. They were regular foot ball
boots. The remainder of the attire
consisted of the hghtest kind of sleeve
less shirts and snappy gray shorts.
That Is, for all except one swarthy IN
dividual who had spent his Summer as
q volunteer life guard at New Jersey
coast resort. He got along without
the shirt.
Although clad SO lightly, the candi-
dates were dripping wet after their
Grill of more than an hour. The
punting. catching of punts and passes
and the runs around the field ordered
by Mills and directed by Kerejes made
the BOYS "get up a sweat" as the head
coach desired.
ok of last years letter men went
y through yesterdays drill. Russ
Danieu, halfback, and Bernie
O,Donoghue, quarterback, of the 81
team, were at hand. So were John
Shimmens, Mack Stanley and Nick
Visckovich, backfield players, and Fred
Callahan, center, all &c" winners.
Reserves of the 81 team reporting
for the starting practice were John
O'Rourke, Dick Murphy and George Nc
Cafferty, ends: George Becker and Joe
Knopka, tackles; Larry Sullivan, center,
and Dick Bradley. Louis Dee, Carl
Trump and Bill Carpenter, backfield
players.
Bradley, it is recalled, was the back
of whom much was expected last season
before he was injured on the eve OF
the New York University game. He
looked a sturdy and intelligent foot ball
player and was fast enough to be a
track man also Bradley had leg Sc
verely hurt last Fall. but told Coach
Mills yesterday he believed the limb to
be sound once more. 1t looked it, the
way Bradley raced about the field.
ONLY one backfield candidate was
~ among the lot coming up from the
1881 freshman team to report at
yesterdays drill. Walter Heron, half
back, turned out. There were two ex-
freshman ends, tackle and three
guards.
Pearson, the tackle Joe Downer, and
the guards Carl Sauer, Allan Cohen and
Joe Mlynarski.
Sauer Is younger brother Of Dud
Sauer, who was a brilliant line player
for Georgetown not so long ago. And
this Downer, a red-thatched youngster,
was about the heftieSt on the field.
Which pleased Mills, for tackles are
something he must find this Fall.
A NICE, soft time the Hoya candi-
"A dates had. But practice will be
speeded and there'll be much
rougher work for all hands even before
this week ends.
Although most of the veterans are
likely to get their jobs back, the George
town squad will settle to hard work with
all understanding positions are open.
That will mean a lot of dash and fire
in the practice between now and the
