Will Need Some Luck.

COACH HAGERTY said after the
~ scrtmmage that, while the play
naturally was ragged, his men
did about as well as they should
Hagerty says that Georgetown is going
to have one good team, and If it has
luck In regard to injuries, so that it
will not have to depend too much on
substitutions, will make a good record
In the Georgetown line it is ex-
pected that Williamson will be a real
star. Last year and the year before
that he played brilliantly, both at
tackle and center, and in either posi-
ton he should do good deal of dam
age to opposing lines. The other
lfnemen hardly will measure up to
Williamson's standard but all of them
did good work last season and Hegarty
expects them to knit together into a
formidable combination.
In the backfield are four veterans,
all with weight and speed, and, Incl
dentally in the backfield lies Hegarty's
greatest reserve strength, because
from all accounts two or three of the
young men who came up from last
years freshman outfit are comers.
They are, besides Ferrara and Gibeau,
Bodine and Connolly.
Georgetown expects to use about the
same type of foot ball it played last
year, and so far as spectators are con-
cerned there will be very little differ
ence In its offense. Like other teams,
1t plans a more extensive use of
under fhn Iox,4 I. ~,
anything more than that will be much
changed from the offense of 1884.
"TTP AT the meeting for discus
" sion OF the rules, held at New
York Saturday and Sunday,
little took place of any real import" F"
says Coach Dutch Bergman of Cath
olic University. II went up largely
TO get the general slant of other
coaches and to hear what new inter-
pretations the officials expected to
put on the rules. However, so far as
] could gather there is to be nothing
done other than what already has
been mentioned by officials or in the
press. Most of the talk centered
around this technicality or that tech

around this rule or that, but I think
that was all taken care of by a state
ment by Chairman Okeson of the
Rules Committee, when he said that
''of course there are ways smart
coaches can beat the rules, but the
officials are going to be instructed to
hurdle that by interpreting the rules
from a standpoint Of common sense
and fair play"
DENN STATE is expected to get
out of the foot ball doldrums
during the coming year, it is said.
A prominent alumnus of the college
said, I'VE have been terrible the last
few years, but if nothing happens I
believe we shall find ourselves this Fall.
Penn State in the next few years
should be far different in foot ball
from the last few, as I think opposing
teams will find us something more
than doormat."
OOACHES up North are of the
u opinion that Princeton will
have the greatest foot ball team
in the East. and that Holy Cross and
Columbia should not be far behind.
One coach went SO far as to say that
Princeton last year never won by as
big score as it could, and that it
could have whipped Columbia, for in
stance, by a much greater margin
than it did had it so desired.
Yale is not at all happy, according
to those who talked with Ducky Pond
over the outlook for its annual battle
with the Tigers.
