Pinned for TILT
With Bisons
6. w., c. U. Driven
In Practice for
Battles Abroad
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

With George Washington and
Catholic University football teams
scurrying far from the village and
Maryland absorbing an appreciated
rest, Georgetown will reap the re-
ward of its undefeated status
Friday night at Griffith Stadium
against Bucknell in Washington's
most anemic gridiron week end
The husky Hoyas, eager to snatch
their sixth victory of the season
and nudge one notch closer to the
unblemished season which has been
GLIDING them since 1875, will enter
the Bucknell game as favoriteS. but,
by the same token, the Bisons are
rated as dangerous and geared for
an upset.
Bucknell swept its first three
games, spanking Furman, Gettys-
burg and Penn State before Temple
buried it, $50. Last week the Bisons
bounced back to trip Albright, 60,
and are cherishing fond hopes of
tobogganing Georgetown from the
ranks of the elite.
Bison Line Is Husky.
An off-form Georgetown may be
embarrassed by the beefy Bisons,
importing a forward wall which
averages 202 pounds and a back
field averaging 176 pounds, but
Coach Jack Hagerty has equipped
the Hoyas with a set of battling
spread plays to polish their highly
regarded attack.
Hagerty, tenderly nursing a bud
ding crop of injuries among his
youngsters, will confine George
towns drills chiefly TO signals, pass
defense and kicking. avoiding heavy
workouts this week in an effort to
soothe frazzled frames. The team
soaked up mild physical beating
in smothering Temple, but while in
juries are numerous none is serious.
Jules Koshlap, sensational sopho-
more passer, has a charley horse
which has failed to yield properly
to treatment, while End Johnny
Lascari and Halfback Lou Ghecas
are complaining of slight leg in
| juries. Fullback Myron Darhom-
ray is favoring badly bruised side,
but all are expected to be ready
for service against the Bisons.
c. L. Needs Quarterback.
Coach Dutch Bergman is sputter-
ing ominously at Catholic Univer-
sity, and an explosion of volcanic
proportions doubtless will result in
! the installation of another quarter
back, a sore spot with the Cardinals
this season.
1t is something of crime Berg
man wasn't dealt a brainy signal
barker in the gridiron shuttle, for

Catholics chances against st. Louis,
and Bergman hopes to guard against
repetition. but hardly knows where
to turn. Virtually every member of
| the squad has been tested in the
| quarterback role and found wanting.
! The Cardinals, who will entraln
Thursday for their game with De-
Paul at Chicago Saturday, will be
drilled extensively in pass defense,
with little heavy work slated.
G.. w. PolisheS Air Defense.
George Washington, preparing to
meet Clemson's surprisingly strong
outfit Saturday at Greenville, S. c..
also is being instructed on aerial
defense, for Coach Bill Reinhart
hardly relished the Colonials labor
in that department against Mis-
sissippi.
Guy Renzaglia, highly regarded
guard, will remain here with dam
aged leg, but otherwise the Colonials
came through their $50 shellacking
in fine physical shape and entertain
notions of swapping back in the win
column at the Tigers expense.
Marylands bumper crop of in
juries is expected to mend before
the Terps journey to Gainesville to
clash with Florida November II and
American University's eleven also is
capitalizing on an open date in its
schedule to regain physical fitness.
The Eagles next game will be No
vember II against Haverford at A.
