HOYAS, ". & M.
TO SCRIMMAGE
At PIT. COMFORT

After a lengthy meeting OF
Catholic University's Homecoming
Committee, 1t was decided to post
pone the traditional return of the
old grads from october 16, when
Detroit University meets the Car
dinals, to Thanksgiving Day, when
University of South Carolina will
furnish tine opposition.
The Homecoming Committee
had no trouble convincing Berg.
man that this should be done. In
fact, the coach himself had long
favored a later date, and could
not convince the committee.
Bergman is beset with a sue
cession of injuries that is whit
Ting down his squad with each
days practice. Now it is Capt.
Vic Sochon who is hors du COM
bat with a damned shoulder.
Frank Selgrade, q capable end,
is down with a throat ailment
that will keep him out of action
for week or more. With Walker
called home because of serious
sickness in his family, Guyon,
Pirro, Carroll and Fiorellino all
on the injured list, Bergman is
having a time to rally a working
squad together.
MEADE HURT
Injuries and tales of injuries
beset all coaches in these days.
Frank Dobson has the usual num-
Der of boys bearing scars Of re-
cent scrimmageS so that he has
had to curtail work. Nothing Sc
rious, to be sure, but just enough
to annoy the lads. Jim Meade,
for instance, banged an ankle in
scrimmage, and now he can't cut
sharply in his runs off tackle.
William and Mary will send its
football squad into practice Scrin-
mage with the Georgetown Hoyas
today at Old Point Comfort. Will
liam and Mary will open its sea-
son with Navy at Annapolis on
September Is, and since Williams
burg is close to the Georgetown
camp, it was deemed mutually
advantageous to have the teams
scrimmage.
William and Mary shares the
common Ill Of teams in the Dis
trict Of Columbia and environs.
The first team is strong enough,
but there is little reserve power,
and injuries to such players as
Yeager, MacDouglas, Kennedy
and Goellnicht have Handicapped
the Generals no little.
A scrimmage with University Of
Virginia brought to light two I'M
portant facts for Jack Hagerty,
coach Of Georgetown's HoyaS.
The first Is that the boys are pro-
crossing in the work mastering
assignments on particular plays.
The second is that there is work;
a lot Of work to be done on polish
ing off the early offensive Of the
Hilltoppers.
HOYA'S SCRIMMAGE
With Virginia and Georgetown
each holding the ball for ap-
proximately 80 minutes during
the drill, the Hoyas showed little
spark along the ground. Din
widdie and Sargent of Virginia
formed a clever combination on
passes. Stralka played slashing
game at tackle for Georgetown.
Season tickets for George Wash
ington'S football games will be
placed on sale today at the uni
versity athletic office, 21O1 G. st.
N w. The sale will continue
through Friday.
HEAHEY REPORTS
While the bushes office pre-
pared for action, the team quar-.
tered at Camp Let's drove through
spirited drill. Duce Keahey will
don heavy equipment and plunge
into the task of showing the boys
how the tackle position is played
in Texas. The Lone Star State boy
was doubtful about returning to
school this year, but finally came
along to find a welcome awaiting
him.
Half a dozen tackles are now
trying for place at the rendezvous
of the Colonials. Hal Soldering,
who has played all over the line,
probably will start at guard. He
has been working there for the
past couple Of days.
Bob Nowasky is looking better
with each start in the back field. |
He has power and speed galore.
