SIX SOPHS Will.
START IN HOYA'
OPENING LINEUP
BY CHICK KENNY

Coach Jack Hagerty, the foot
ball mentor at Georgetown, finally
has made his decision as to his
starting lineup for the opening
game with Hampton-Sydney in
Griffith Stadium Saturday after
noon.
The Hilltopper coach plans to
usher in the campaign with no
less than six Sophomores, three
seniors and a pair of juniors.
No less than five of the half-dozan
starting first-year men will be
along the forward wall, with the
sixth, Jules Koslap. holding down
the left halfback position. The
entire left side of the line, includ-
ing center, are sophs. These are
Bob Kercher, end; Earl Fullilove,
tackle; Augie Lilo, guard, and AL
Matuza, center. Johnny Lascari
is booked to start at right end.
Jimmy Hill, right guard; Joe
Frank, right tackle, and Charley
Wychunas, quarterback, round out
the senior gridders groomed for
starting berths. Joe Mellendick,
speedy right halfback, and Myron
Darmohray, fullback, complete the
first-string eleven.
A NEW TEAM
Don't expect too much Of
Georgetown in this opening game
of the season, for the team is a
new one. And new clubs are ex-
perimental at the most. They gen.
orally prove to be surprises one
way or the other, and the Hoya
team of 1888 is no different than
any other similar outfit. The Hill
topperS may bowl over most OF
their opponents in sensational
fashion, and then again the club
is likely to fold up like an accor-
dion. It may win its tough games
and fall apart against the breath
e~s." So all you can say about the
Georgetown team this year is:
Wait, and See."
Hampton-Sydney may prove q
severe test for the Hoyas Satur-
day. The Virginians opened their
season last Friday afternoon at
Lexington, giving washington and
Lee a big scare. The Generals, &C
cording to George Mlrtagh. who
secuted the squad, pointed out
that they lost by the medium Of a
fourth down pass that had all the
luck in the world attached to it.
AS a result the Tigers were not dis
graced as they lost, z to 6.
The Tigers present sterling
end in AL Buchinsky, whom Muir
tagh believes should be one Of
the finest at that position who will
show here this season.
"I wish we had him." said
George, who, incidentally,
coaches the Hoya ends. "He
could make our club in minute.
I've been stressing the fact to
our fellows that this lad will be
a tough one to keep out of our
backfield this week. He GER
tainly played a fine game
against Westinghouse. In
fact, it was one of the finest
demonstrations of end play I
have seen in college ranks in re-
cent years" According to the
Hamrden-Sydney roster, Buch-
insky is the captain of the team.
