ed.
The proponents of this plan in
form us that warrants would be
exchangeable for cash 80 days after
issuance But we have searched
the act thoroughly and fail to find
any provision for thisl
"One of the leading spirits of
the plan, Roy owens, has admitted
that the plan will fail unless the
warrants circulate. We don't believe
they will circulated"
Later, Graves challenged the next
speaker, Lester o. Wisler, head of
the $50 Thursday Research depart
ment. to explain what part of the
act provides exchanging cash for
warrants but Wisler virtually ig-
nored the challenge.
Wisler touched only lightly upon
the economic background OF the
plan and closed with a prediction
that $50 Thursday would win at
the polls. He said:
I'VE are going to stay with this
proposition! If defeated, we'll have
1t by March. How do you like that?'
The final speaker, Luther Eg-
gertson, began:
I'm afraid this audience is pre-
dominantly Ham and Egg, but ]
am going to have to tell you the
lowdown truth. 1t won't work!
You Ham and Eggers have beer

IT'S in the act, but I'm not goins
to show it to the opposition!
That's only one of the rabbits

Scholastic Reasons

BY remote control, Coach Frank
Dobson already has gained the Jump
on University of Maryland football
rivals while vacationing in Indiana
He's pruned the Maryland squad
from SO to Al before the first calls
thenic drill has been staged.
Dobson neatly drew his blue pencil
across the names of several candi-
dates who didn't satisfy him their
urge to play the game is sufficient.
Scholastic requirements stripped
several more from the club. Other
losses may pull the Terp forces
down to around 35.
Returning lettermen okayed by
Dobson are Francis Beamer, Frank
Dwyer, Leo Mueller and Dick Shaf-
fer, ends; Ralph Albarano, Bob

Schedule Tough, Undefeoted
Record to Protect, Hoyo
Grid Coach on Spot

Charley Wychunis, quarterback
and Elmer Moulin, halfback, are the
only backs missing, excepting Mel
lendeck. Jack heaves a sigh of re-
lief at the thought of Joe McFad-
den returning to direct the team.
The Copper is the best field general
Hagerty has had during his tenure
at the school, and should have a
good year. Jules Koshlap will hold
down one halfback post, with Big
Jim Castiglia and Bull Darmohray
sc,labbling over the regular fullback
JOB.
While no man is assured of q
berth, Lou Ghecas and Jack Spencer
apparently have the best chances of
breaking into the regular lineup
because Of their punting ability
Both have a long foot range and
Mellendeck's departure leaves the
team without a seasoned kicker
Lou Falcone will alternate with
McFadden at quarter and Frank
Meglen is back to lend hand with
the fullbacking, thus, barring whole
sale injuries. Georgetown expects to
have powerful offense with en-
phasis on the running game.
In the line Johnny Lascari, Bob
Kercher and Red Daily are left for
the f1anks-three good men who
should ease their coachs mind. Earl
Fullilove, bulwark on defense last
year, Is available at his old tackle
berth and then Hagerty has to
scratch for material.
The most promising holdovers are
Bill Nealon, Joe Daniels, tackles;
Augie Leo and Mark Ostinato
guards; Jim Reichey and AL Matuza
centers. Daniels boots long, lazy
ball and a plan may be engineered
whereby he'll drop back out of the
line and do the kicking.
Freshman Squad Productive.
Hagerty is getting some good men
from the freshman team, and hop
ing for few more pleasant sur
prises. Mike Kopcik, another bud
ding punting star; Art Lemke,
Whitley Fenwick, former Gonzaga
star; AL Blozis, 23O-pound inter-
scholastic shotput champion, and
Don Montanero look to be the most
promising tackles. Pat Paternoster
and Johnny Mcmahon have a
chance at the vacant guard posi-
tions, while PIE" Pryal is the lone
center of note, and he failed to re-
port for spring practice.
Benny Bolvin, AL Lujack and John
Chemento appeared to be the best
backs in spring drills, and Chemento
may be converted into a center If
possible.
We'll, we start tomorrow" Hag-
erty grinned Come back in about
a month and I'll be able to tell you
more about our prospects. Let me
see what this magazine says about
U.S."
He picked up the book, turned to
the paragraphs devoted to George
town and read where Coach Red
Haggerty" expected a banner year.
