IT'S going to be Just too bad II
Coach Joe Gardner requires more
than TWO substitutes for his
i Georgetown Prep team in its game
with st. Adams tomorrow. and worse
than that If he Is forced to replace
any OF his four backfield men. Cause
after the -Four Lonemen" Of George
town Prep, there "ain't no more"
The interpret struggle, which now
looms as little less than rout OF the
Little Hoyas by the Saints, takes place
at 3:15 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon at
Garrett Park.
His originally small squad still
further depleted by the permanent
loss of its captain, the temporary in
capacity Of two halfbacks and the con-
fining injury of regular tackle, Gard
ner faces the st. Adams contest with
Just IS boys linemen and 4 backs.
Dogged by Hard Luck.
A ND the st. Adams team, which
- ran roughshod over the Church
Farm School of Philadelphia by a
$50 count last Saturday, appears to
be the villain of the drama which
will slam the door. shutting out the
last ray of light for the Garrett
parkers.
Capt. Elkins Franklin. with a bro
ken collarbone, Is. Of course, through
for the season. Bobby O'ShaugneSsy,
promising young halfback. is out with
q broken thumb. Tom Nurre, another
back, Is on the sidelines with a
twisted ankle. And Bill Thompson,
tackle, is idle with twisted knee.
So serious has Gardners plight
become that the scrappy Irishman
was forced to pluck four young kids
from his 130-pound Junior team the
first of the week in order to have
enough players to scrimmage. Scrim-
maging was the first assignment OF
the week, moreover, as last week S
tackling against Loyola was poor.
Brutus Clay, Bryson Norris, Bill
Brayer and Bling" Crosby were the
four graduated" to the varsity squad,
these featherweights in actual COM
bat. Hence. they'll be on the bench
as space filters.
The four backs counted upon to
start and, barring injury, to finish are
Billy Byrd, 14-year-old Jack Det-
weller, Manning O'Connor and Jack
Powell. Averaging less than $50
pounds. Gardner is looking for a
score tomorrow as much as he Is
looking for third team.
Saints In Good Trim.
CT. ALBANS. on the other hand,
winner Of two of its four games,
is in a most optimistic frame Of mind.
Victories over the Church Farm
School and Boys Latin School of
Baltimore have discounted and
point defeats at the hands Of Gilman
and st. Christophers, respectively. and
Bob Middleton's charges anticipate
their second triumph in six days to-
morrow.
With "Zan" Carver, the motivating
force of a capable backf1eld, which
also includes Milligan, Grayson and
Schoenfeld, the Saints look forward

confidence. In four games their line
has yielded but four touchdoWns, two
OF them to st. Christophers.
In addition to Capt. Jake Foulois
at tackle there will be available for
the game tomorrow as veterans only
q guard and an end, but even with a
second substitute manning the impor-
tant center position the forward wall
Is rated as competent.
Friends Has Game.
ERIENDS SCHOOL also sees action
tomorrow. heading for Ballston,
where the junior varsity Of the Wash
tngton-Lee High School will be en-
countered. Shaping up as a strong
team defensively, the Eye Streeters
will be seeking their first victory, al
though no opponent has scored more
than points on Bob Lyle's proteges.
An interception of a pass deep in
itE own territory WAS the factor that
