team, now in the midst Of drills
on the lower Hilltop field.

are billed to grace the regular

deck, the triple-threat surprise OF
the Hoyas last season. The quar-.
tet Of seniors. billed for starting
herths, include the guards Bill
Burke and Jim Hill; Joe Frank,
tackle; and Charley Wychunas,
the number 2 back.
80 CANDIDATES
There are 80 candidates for the
team and with the possible excep-
ton of two positions. there's
hardly any chance for other per
formers to surpasS the probable
starting lineup mentioned above.
Joe Daniels, a sophomore who has
been bothered by injuries, may
capture Lascari's post at left end,
while Myron Darmohray, regular
last season, may oust Castlglla
from the starting position at full'
back. Castiglia. tipping the scales
around 220 pounds, has been slow
rounding into form.
Coach Jack Hagerty and his
assistants are moaning the caI1ner
Of his reserve tackles. But by the
time the campaign rolls around,
he may come up with likely look
ing pair in Tom Robertson and
Bill Nealon. Other tackle replace
ments include Mike Zinkovitch,
August Lilo, who showed well IN
the spring: Ed Kowa1sA, Bob
Starnes, Tom O'Conneu anc
Bobby Halpin.
Understudies for Lascari, DAILY
and Daniels at the terminal berths
include Bill Wixted, Bob Kercher,
Dick Harris, Frank Donohue and
Frank Gildea. Incidentally, Gildea
is president of the Yard, the high
est office to be held by a student
at Georgetown.
BACKFIELD PROBLEMS
The backfield presents its prob
lens, but there is sufficient experl.
ence and class to warrant the fact
that it will be in pretty fair shape
Quarterback Wychunas will have
for reserves, Joe McFadden and
John Spencer, a pair Of fine Soph
omore prospects. Jules KoShlor
looms as the top man at right
half. with plenty OF opposltlon
coming from Lou Ghecas. Both
are sophomores.
Joe Mellendeck, the bright spot
in the Hoyas' offensive gc7,N-e'
last season, is groomed for a bril-
liant season. When Joe needs q
rest from the wars. Hagerty car
slip in Elmer Moulin without en-
dangering his offense. :,
In addition to this limited back
field material, other players or
hand who may prove surprise
are Johnny Boyle, Andy Brutko
Charley McArdle and Ken NC
Nichol. You never can tell aoou
these silent reserves-they POI
up with the goods when you leas
expect it.
