by Mississippi and Clemson after
compiling an undefeated, united and
unscored-upon record against four
lesser foes, are eager to bounce back.
Facing similar situations tomorrow
Will be Maryland, which clashes with
Florida at Gainesville, and American
University, which bumps into Haver-
ford in the Eagles home coming
game at the A. U. field.
Georgetown, entrenched at Fair
mont, w. Va, awaiting its battle
tomorrow with West Virginia at
Morgantown, and Catholic Univer-
sity, meeting Miami today at Griffith
Stadium, had roster outlooks. The
Hoyas are favored to preserve their
unblemished record, while the Cards,
buoyed by sensational last-quarter
victory last week over De Paul, were
poised for the Hurricane with min
gled respect and rancor.
Record is Misleading.
Swapping back to G.. W.. the
Colonials are in an unenviable posi-
ton, parched for victory and none
too certain of obtaining it against
a team which is better than its
record would indicate.
1rritated by his teams demonstra-
tions against Ole Miss and Clemson,
Coach Bill Reinhart exploded this
week with the net result that two
regulars have been benched and
others shifted Ken Batson, ITS
pounds of solid sophomore. has re-
placed the highly publicized Vic
Sampson in the backfield and Tim
SWEET has yielded the center job to
Sunny Jones, transformed tackle.
Bob Nowaskey, generally rated the
smoothest end in this neck of the
woods, has been moved to fullback
to give the Colonials Hne-backing;
Bob Faris has snatched his flank
berth and Duce Keahy has wedged
into the tackle position vacated by
Jones.
Coach Names Starters.
Reinhart's revised lineup, an
nounced today, placed Faris and
Babich at ends; Keahy and johnny
Rebholz, tackles; Guy Renzaglia and
Izzy Weinberg, guards; Jones, CEN
ter; Batson, quarterback; Frank
Merka and Murphy Booth. half
backs, and Nowaskey, fullback.
Kansas, slated to play G. w. next
year and again in 1910, suffered a
severe blow in the loss of Max
Replogle, senior halfback who re-
ceived broken jaw in the Nebraska
game.
GeorgetoWn's chief scraps are
against the twin evils of over
confidence and the consuming de-
sire of West Virginia to spring
an upset. The Mountaineers have
won only three games against minor
foes, but are conceded to have a
better outfit than they have shown.
The Hoyas, however, are keyed
physically and plan to take the
game in stride. Coach Jack Hagerty
was to send the team through
light drill at Fairmont today and
make the short journey to Morgan
town tomorrow by bus.
Maryland meets an equally Grip
pied club in Florida. the usually
potent Gators having trimmed only
Sewanee and Tampa in seven games.
The Terps also have had miserable
season, winning only one of six tilts.
American University has been
bolstered by the return of Hall.
Shoop and Bartlett to its lineup.
but particular attention will be
focused on George Brown in the
Haverford game. Brown has played
every position in the line and Coach
Gus WEIGH will install him at full
back tomorrow. If he clicks WEIGH
later will use him at quarterback
and halfback and Browns ambition
to play every post on the team will
be fulfilled.
