Freshman Backs May Help.


MEGLEN was one Of the best full-
N backs that Georgetown has had
for number Of years. A great kicker.
a fine defensive man and a hard run
ner, the former Hoya co-captain
proved valuable asset to the Hilltop
team last year. Heron was used
almost exclusively as a blocking back.
Four men from last years freshman
eleven may be the solution to Hagerty's
backfield troubles. Frank Meglen,
Joe's brother. looks to be a good bet
for the fullback post. Bill valiquette
and two former local high school
stars, Hank Gibbins and Joe Keegin,
seem to have the inside track on
Herron's berth. With Meglen gone,
Hagerty must develop another good
kicker. Gibbins has been working
out daily and if his kicking continues
to show improvement, Hagerty's
search for a punter may be solved.
