from the way he was bounding

might be suspected of no IA

HOYAS TO PLAY
4-GAME SPRING
GRID SCHEDULE
BY CHICK KENNY

A four.game spring football
schedule has been arranged for
the Georgetown University foot
ball team this year, according to
Jack Hagerty, head coach of the
Hoya eleven.
Starting Saturday, March 10,
and each Saturday morning fol.
lowing until the Easter vacation
sets in, the Hilltoppers will play
regular scheduled games of ten
minute quarters each.
Taking a page from the Pitt
spring practice formula, Hagerty
plans to divide his team of 1898
varsity candidates into two di.
visions, the Gray" and the

the ball a-rolling for football prac.
tice.
Outdoor workouts are listed for
tomorrow, and from then on,
bumps and bruises will be the
menu of the grid team of 1888 for
six long weeks of toll to come.
One slight change will be made
in the general fundamental policy
of the team this year, and this con-
Germs stance of the linemen. Here
tofcre, the forward wall was
taught the four-point style, but
this will be diminished to three,

Hagerty has complete strip Of
linesmen and a single backfield
combination to serve as a nucleus
from which to mold his team.
Aside from this, he will be con-
fronted with nothing more than
freshmen to round out his plans
for fall. Eighteen squadman were
lost this year, and only three reg
