Hill said the windfall tax was designed
to apply only to professors who had
not paid the A. A. A. taxes, but had

School Looks
ToBusyCourt
Campaign
BY GARRETT WATERS

Orrel Mitchell was speaking OF
football.
Naturally his words turned to
the Gonzaga High eleven, its show
ing during the season recently
ended, its prospects for next year.
its problems.
The team missed Jim Boyle,
heady quarterback. Jim was hurt
in the Central game early in the
year and it took the boys two full
games to get over his absence.
They finally got to clicking and
won enough contests to justify a
successful campaign. But next
year, it promises to be something
else.
Two Star Ends
OF course Boyle will be gone
from the start, due to graduation.
Added to this will be the absence
of John Ronayne and Johnny Cos
tello, two of the finest pair Of
ends the school has had in years.
Then Jim Walsh, lanky back:
Harry Hieberger, another back;
John Windham and Georgebeck,
tackle and guard, respectively, will
be absent because of graduation.
"Our most important prob
lem will be developing ends"
says Mitchell. "ROnayne and
Costello were two excellent play
ers this year and they're going
to be hard to duplicate"
Gonzaga will have several good
men to depend upon next fall.
The backfield will be full of vet
erans at any rate, what with Jim
Ellis, Jim Shaw and Milton
Sonny" Hartman due to return.
On the line Joe Mcdonald,
center, Louis DiFilipo and Frank
Fenwick will be back. This trio
has developed into toprank foot
ballers since matriculating at Con
zaga and they will form a great
nucleus for the new candidate list
expected to report for 1887 posi-
tionS.
Heavy Schedule
Gonzaga will play a most heavy
schedule next year. Central, Tech
ana Eastern will be met of the
high school group, and st. Johns
Georgetown Prep, and Loyola
High, the latter a Baltimore team
in the prep school class.
Actual schedule dates haven't
been closed yet, but the mentor
already has thought of how he
might meet these foes.
In the meanwhile Mitchell
opened up basketball for the
The Washington times., 1936-12-08

winter season yesterday. A squad
of about 80 reported, led by the
veterans Jim Boyle, guard, who is
available for the court game, Tom
Hanley, forward, Jim O'Brien, for
ward, Jim Walsh, center, and
Harry Hieberger guard.
The Purple expects to play an
extensive schedule. The "big"
games will be against the tradi-
tional rivals, Georgetown Prep and
ST.. Johns, dates of which will be
known as soon as the schedule is
completed and ready for release.
