Win be Well Prepared.


Coaches Hagerty and Pixiee are not
only driving their teams along, but
also are nursing the players along.
They want to get the most out of
their squads by working them hard.
but also realize that they must keep
up morale by making the men feel
that there is an excellent chance for
victory.
George Washington believes that it
can go along in good style the re-
mainder of the season If it can show
strength enough to beat Tulsa.
Up at Georgetown both players and
coaches are elated over the fine game
against Manhattan in New York, but
understand that they have just in the
ohing two or three hard teams. And
William and Mary. coming as it does
right after brilliant victory, when a
let-down is more than possible, offers
something Of key to the remainder
Of the year. If William and Mary
can be defeated, the Blue and Gray
has an idea it would unlock doors to
even greater success.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, which
plays University of Baltimore
Saturday at Brookland, Is plan
ming to invite all high school stu
dents in Washington and the sur
rounding territory in Maryland and
Virginia to attend as guests of the
university.
Coach Bergman says, I'VE are going
to begin to popularize our own sta
dium, and We want people to learn
Just what facilities we have here.
While we are in Washington, it is
surprising the number of people I
meet every day who do not know that
we actually have the biggest foot ball
stadium in this part of the country.
except the stadium in Baltimore. Our
invitations to all local and nearby
Maryland and Virginia high school
students is part of our plan to get
people acquainted with us.
In addition to the game with Balti-
more University, the Cardinals have
scheduled game between their fresh
men and the Maryland yearlings at
! o'clock. ./
Yesterday afternoon Catholic Uni
versity and Maryland scrimmaged for
an hour, the most of the practice tax
ing place between the men who did
not play against Holy Cross and Navy.
Some of the regulars on both sides
did not scrimmage at all and the others
were in for only about 10 minutes.
;NfoTIoN pictures are entering
NI into the coaching question
rather heavily in most big
schools. 1t is surprising the extent to
which this aid in the development of
teams is being employed. Practically all
the big schools take movies of every
game they play and not only, after the
game. show the picture to their own
squad to point cut mistakes. but also
study the maneuvers of the opposing
team.
There is not the least doubt about
the value of such pictures. because the
film can be slowed down to a point
where every movement of every player
as individuals and as team, can be
studied.
With the exception of few bruises
and stiff muscles from sustained strain,
Georgetown, Catholic University and
Maryland players came out of their
tough games last week In remarkably
good shape. Nome of the elevens will
have single man out this week be-
cause of injuries received Saturday.
vYIHILE its game with William
w and Mary is offering about
all that Georgetown players
want to consider right now the Blue
and Gray coaches have their eyes open
for their next two contests; also those
with New York University and with
Richmond University. Another VIC
tory in New York would set awfully
well with Blue and Gray alumni in
that section and elsewhere, while the
Richmond team. the coaches know full
well, Is going to be. the hardest kind of
a nut to crack. Richmond has per-
haps the best eleven ever to repre-
sent it.
Maryland win begin today real
preparation for its game with Virginia
Polytechnic Institute at Norfolk Sat-
urday. The Old Liners have lost the
last two years to the 1lacksburg school
and are not unmindful now of the fact
that they have chance to put one
on the right side of the ledger, de-
spite the strength Of the virginians.
Maryland probably will start against
v. P. /. about the same team it sent
in against Navy. with the possible
exception that 1t may vary its start
ing backfield. The Old Liners have
two sets Of backs that 1t does not make
. whole lot Of difference as to which
quartet goes in at the beginning of
the game
