DAILY TO START
FOR HOYAS IN
.TERRAPIN FRAY.
BY CHICK KENNY

ping about the Georgetown prac-
tice field like a frosh gridder the
opening day of fall practice Is
Francis Reds" DAILY. former Tech
High ace. He looks plenty frisky
and full of pep-so much so that
Coach Jack Hagerty should start
him at his favorite position at
right end against Maryland. Well,
that's exactly what the Hoya men
tor intends to do-give him
starting assignment.
So when Daily gallopS on the
field at the start of the game Sat
urday at College Park, he Will be
there in a regular position be-
cause he earned it, not by being
frisky in practice but purely by
his sensational play against west
Virginia at Morgantown last Sat
urday afternoon.
SING PRAISES
They have been singing praises
of Joe Mellendeck, stellar halt
back of the team; of Jules Kosh-
lap, the passing wizard Of the out
fit: of Joe McFadden, the brainy
little quarterback who scored all
IA points against the Mountaineers
last week: but it seems as though
the great play of the former Tech
High School lad was a bit over
looked.
He snagged three passes at Nor
gantown from the educated arm
of Koshlap that collectively regis
tered something like IS yards.
Two of these successfully com.
pleted aerials came in row and
were good for 81 yards, to place
Georgetown within paydirt strik-
ing distance.
Twice he recovered fumbles,
costly mistakes by West Virginia
ball handlers, that might have
spelled curtains" for the Hoyas
if the Mountaineers had retained
possession of the ball. And then
he retrieved the ball that soon
started Georgetown on its sus-
tanned march for its first tally by
breaking up a dangerous lateral
pass in the dying stages OF the
third quarter.
The big redhead played a great
game against West Virginia here
in Griffith Stadium last year.
He started that battle and the
manner in which he rushed the
Mountaineers' great passer, Kelly
Moan, had much to do with bot
Ting up the highly Wanted aerial
attack of the team, as the HoyaS
surprised by holding the visitors
to a 6-6 score.
DAILY, now 81, is not a new
sports figure in Washington, He
was a star in high school, playing
tackle under Hap Hardell at Tech,
and took a turn with the basket
ball team. He was unanimously
named on all-high teams in both
sports.
When he was graduated from
Tech he entered Bulls School ano
PLAYED a year at tackle. After
his freshman campaign at George
town, he was converted into an
end.
With DAILY definitely set to STAR
at right end Saturday, Coach JACK
Hagerty has completed the task Of
determining the starting lineup
pairing with Daily at end will be
Bob Kercher. At the tackles vii
be Earl Fullilove and Joe Frank
guards. Jim Hill and Bill Burke
and, center, AL Matuza.
