EORGETOWN'S foot ball
squad leaves tonight at 8
Y J. o'clock for Boston, where
Boston College is to be
played Saturday. Coach Jack
Hagerty would venture no opinion
as to the contest, contenting him.
self to say simply that We're
going up to Boston to do what
we've done in every game so far,
play the best foot ball we can"
Boston College has good team, but
not so good that it is beyond the limit
of probability that Georgetown will win.
The chances favor Boston. undoubtedly,
but the Blue and Gray should not be
considered entirely out of the running.
Georgetown. while it has been losing
games, has not been playing bad foot
ball. In every game played, except
as strong as its opponent. The so-called
breaks have been against the local
school, especially in games like that at
Manhattan
Georgetown announced that it would
start the following players:
Mutt and Murphy, ends; Katalinas
and Becker, tackles; Walacavage and
Downer. guards; Callahan center: Cos
tello or Kennedy, quarterback; Meglin
and PARCELS, halves; Bradley, fullback
GRADUATE MANAGER OF ATH-
ILETICS GABE MURPHY says
that the turn will have to come
soon or late and that turn may be
against Boston. Murphy is not so
rcticent as Coach Hagerty in speaking
of possibilities of the contest, and he
expresses his opinion thus:
We're bound to get the breaks some
time. In only one game that We nave
lost, have We seemed the weaker eleven.
the chances of fortune apparently turn
ing the tide against Us. That cannot
continue forever. and. while I know
that Boston has strong team, 1t may
be that our tide will turn up there. In
my opinion We can beat Boston College
If We can get break or two
Boston College has so far lost only
one game, that to an exceptionally
strong opponent-F'ordham. Against
a considerable margin, although most
Of the points we're scored in the fourth
quarter. The court at the end of the
first half was 6 to 6.
The Blue and Gray squad will arrive
in Boston tomorrow morning. and take

plans to leave Immediately after the
game to arrive home early Sunday
morning.
EORGE WASHINGTON seems to

week in preparation for its game
with Tennessee than for any other con-
test it has played this year. No doubt
the Colonials feel they are to face the
strongest eleven they have met and
that their best efforts in preparation as
well as on the field Saturday afternoon
are required.
Tennessee undoubtedly will be good
enough to put up real battle on any
field, which means that it is a top-notch
opponent. It's star back is Feathers,
but is said to be the most brilliant
punte. in the South, and perhaps in the
en- ire country.
