Given initial
Test Today

This afternoon on the hilltop
practice field, Georgetown's husky
group of footballers were sched-
uled to have their first Scrimmage
of the fall training season. The
initial tusSle is expected to answer
a few questions that have been
puzzling Coach Jack Hagerty.
First and foremost, the Srim-
mage is expected to determine
whether the shift that Hagerty
has just recently inserted into his
attack, will continue to be used.
Secondly, the Hoya mentor will
get his first chance to see how
Tony BarabaS and Joe Frank fare
in the backfield. Barabas and
Frank, former linemen, have been
shifted to the backfield.
Yesterdays drills were short
ened, owing to the excessive heal.
Only the linemen were gwen con-
tact work. The backfield con-
tinued to work on the new shift,
getting it in shape for t0day's
Scrimmage.
AL Vaccaro, varsity tackle,
joined the squad yesterday. Only
Ed Bodine, substitute end, is miss
ing, and he is expected today.
