All Gotham Fears Him.

<ITTlNG out at Griffith Stadium
Saturday you marveled a little at
what well-coached, quick-striking
outfit was Georgetown. When he wore
Hilltop Spangles, Jack Hagerty had q
knack of shaking himself loose and
knitting down the field for long gains
That he has been successful In impart-
ing this knack to the kids he coaches
is undoubted.
Furthermore, right under our noses
Hagerty may have taken national lead
ership in advancing the art of Tipping
lateral passes-modified basket ball
throws off end runs, off forward passes
off punts, of anything as long as
Georgetown has the ball.

haitian and New York University
whenever coaches get together and
chew the fat, they almost always bring
up Hagerty. Do you know there isn't
more feared coach in the East up
here than Hagerty?
They're all scared of his laterals
his wide-open play. Colgate? Andy
Kerr hasn't anything of Jack. We're
still talking about the lateral George
town pulled against New York U. last
year. Seven men-four backs, an end

South, North Carolina State and
Western Maryland not to be brushed
aside. Also Dutch Bergman today was
looking into the matter Of arranging
a Thanksgiving day game here with
Duquesne, which surprised the grid
iron world Saturday by beating Pitts
burgh. Duquesne's victory brought back
into focus one Clipper Smith, who some
will remember, assisted Tom Mills
when he coached at Georgetown.
Smith and Bergman are fellow alumni,
both having starred at Notre Dame.
Bergman had ample reason to be
pleased with the performance of his
team Saturday In hurdling De Paul,
1877, and some Of the stalwartS in the
line who missed the big print gratified
him nightly. De Paul rather would
face no more centers like Joe Yam
chulis, who cut off many Demon
yard with smashing tackles Vic
Sochon's play at guard, on offense and
defense, may have won him regular
berth. Capt. Hermie Schmarr played
approximately all-America foot ball at
end and the lads he leads are grateful
for Hermie's recovery of fumbled
lateral that may have saved the game.
Dixie Walkers generalship was
above criticism and his punting and
pass catching rounded out an excellent
job. Irish CAROLS improvement over
his performance against La Sale was
such as to think of it almost in the
nature of a comeback. Bill Adamaitis'
pitching when accuracy meant touch
downs was artistry. The De Paul line
