Shades of another day-the
George Washingtons are writing
letters to the Georgetowns again
anent their annual football game
The latest appears, in this weeks
issue of the Hatchet, G.. w. student
publication, and is addressed to the
student body of Georgetown Uni
versity. 1t reads as follows:
1T has been rumored that we are
playing you on the week end of the
28th as sort of warm-up for our
homecoming game of the next week.
So confident are we of victory that
we are holding victory ball the
night before the G. w. U.-Whoosit
game.
so that the game may be more
even, we will gladly lend you the
use of our coaching staff so that YOU
might better be able to understand
the plays as they go around you.
I'VE will also lend you some of our
student body so that you will have
some support at the game. as it is
we'll known that it is very hard for
the Hoyas to get excited over such a
poor team.
las an extreme act of friendship
we invite the members of the
Georgetown team to the victory ball
on the night of the 9th of October,
and also for a consideration a GER
tain number of the more distin-
gulshed Georgetown playboys.
Wishing you luck,
HONEST JOHN DAUGHERTY,
president, Student Council"
Just Sample of Spirit.
This blatant bleating of the down.
town schools tin horn by Jealous
supporters is criterion of the
spirit with which the students are
entering into the game, but is
cramping the style of Messrs. John
Busick, minister of propaganda, and
Bill Reinhart, chief of staff.
Il wish they would show more
enthusiasm over The Citadel game
Friday night quoth Busick. The
Georgetown game will take care of
itself, but I'm trying to drum up a
little interest in this weeks attrac-
ton.
After all, The Citadel figures to
give us a pretty good game-always
has in the past, and I see no reason
why it shouldn't this time, but it
appears that the student body S
whole interest is centered in the
Georgetown game. l wish I could
get 'em interested in this week S
game"
Needs Real Information.
"M'gosh," shouted Bill Reinhart
upon seeing the epistle What's the
use of me going over there to
show Georgetown our plays when
it knows them as we'll as we do.
What I want is more information
on the Hoyas. 1t seems to me the
Hatchet could organize an espionage
campaign for us and get some Sc
crat plans. 1t would be a big help"
And while the Colonials prime for
Friday nights engagement and the
Hoyas primp for their visit to Buck
nell, preparations for next week S
big game 60 on apace at both
schools. Nothing can be done about
it, which is quite all right with the
athletic departments, which note
continued brisk sales of tickets.
Mr.. Busick, noted mathematician
in his undergraduate days and nc
slouch with his long division ano
multiplication tables, has figured out
that Eddie Wilamoski is the Co.
Ionials' leading ground gamer. In
18 trips with the ball Eddie has
picked UP 96 wards for a 512-yard-
per-try average. Not bad at all. Luc
Urick is next with 534 yards aver
age on nine trips with the pigskin
while Billy Richardson and Sam
Babick follow in that order. The
average should go up in The Citadel
game.
Tradition Worries Hoyas.
Georgetown fears tradition more
than Bucknell as it prepares to in
wade the Bisons' bailiwick, for this is
the Lewisburg aggregation home
coming, and not since 1929 has ii
lost on such an occasion. The most
recent examples of the evil spells
cast over visiting teams are Buck
nells 1870 victory over George
Washington last year and scoreless
stalemate with a highly favored
Temple team two years ago.
Georgetown has been strengthened
by the return of Red DAILY and Bob
Kercher, regular ends who have been
ailing, but they figure to have a hard
time getting back their jobs from
Kopcik and Lascari, both of whom
were brilliant against Syracuse.
Catholic University, girding itself
for West Virginia Wesleyans in
vasion, saw movies of their game
with Detroit last night, and went
over their mistakes with Head Coach
Dutch" Bergman and his assistants
Fod Cotton and Wayne Millner. In
the afternoon the Redbirds went
through a light drill, confining their
efforts to passing and kicking, but
scrimmage is on tap today.
Terps Bank on Passing.
Maryland spent yesterday shining
and polishing it's air game for Satur-
days approaching encounter with
Rutgers at New Brunswick, with
Pershing Mondorff, Mearle Du Val
and Joe Murphy doing the pitch
ing. Running attacks have made nc
headway against the Scarlet this
year, perusal of the record re-
veals. WesleyanS running plays
netted loss of 13 yards in the Rut-
gers game, and Wooster's reversals
added up to "a. Richmond last week
lost 3 yards, but became the first
time to score on the Terps' prospec-
tive opponent. The counter came
through the air.
Ace Of Rutgers defense is Ray
Foster, Penobscot Indian, who
drops back from his end position to
punt. Last week he averaged Sc
