BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.
A couple of ends, local boys who
have made good in a football way
at their respective alma matters, will
captain Georgetown and Maryland
when the arch rivals clash Saturday
at Griffith Stadium. Leading the
Terps into action will be Francis
(BeaW Beamer, graduate of
Roosevelt High, while Francis Red)
Daily, Tech alumnus, will be the
other party in the coin -flipping act.
Captaining the eleven will be old
stuff to Daily. who is accepting the
honor for the second time this sea-
son, but new experience to Beamer.
More popular leaders couldn't have
been chosen. for the pair are ace
high with their teammates. Both.
oddly enough, come from the same
mold-easy-going off the field, but
tough men to handle in grid strife.
Beamer is one of those dual-duty
gentlemen, holding down the left
flank on defense and shifting to the
other end of the line when the
Terps have the ball. This is be-
cause Coach Frank Dobson was
quick to see that Beau's pass-catch-
| ing average could be bolstered by
the shift and he could be kept at
his old position to get the advan-
age of his smart defensive play.
He'll be crossing over Saturday,
much to Georgetown's annoyance.
DAILY "Hard-Luck" Kid
DAILY is the 'hard-luck kid" of
the Hoyas and one of the gamest.
A wave of injuries threatened to
end his football career last season,
but the freckled redhead refused to
quit. He returned to the lineup in
time to star in the Maryland game.
This year he missed the Syracuse
trip because of another injury, but
he was back on the job last week
and will be in the Terps' hair-lit-
orally and figuratively-come Sat-
urday.
Both teams were scheduled to
complete their heaviest preparation
for the game today, devoting the
major portion of their time to
offensive drills. Georgetown trudged
back to its dressing room in the
| gloom yesterday, calling halt
only when it became impossible to
see the ball. Maryland worked we'll
after dusk, turning on the food
lights to continue with intricate
formations it hopes will catch the
Hoyas off guard.
Good news was waited about the
College Park campus when it be-
came known that Mearle DuVall
will see lot of action although he
may not appear in the starting line
up. DuVall is the firing pin in the
Old Liners aerial attack, and his
presence in the backfield will be a
distinct threat to Georgetown VIC
tory hopes.
Coach Hagerty Is Reserved.
On the Hilltop the boys were con-
f1dent of keeping their unblemished
record intact, but Coach Jack Hag-
erty didn't share the undergradu-
ates' enthusiasm.
We'll be ready for the game, "
he said. But so will Maryland, and
give Dobson II healthy boys and
he'll make trouble for any football
team on any given afternoon. I
know he wants to win this one as
badly as I do, and will shoot a lot
Of stuff at us he's been saving
We're not afraid of what Maryland
has shown, but what it has kept
under cover-and I understand
that's plenty"
A huge pep rally is scheduled to-
night at Georgetown, to be followed
by the lighting of the traditional
home coming bonfire at $50. Joe
Mellendeck, star of last years eleven,
who was injured early in the Mary
land game, will be interviewed over
Station WMAL by Bill Coyle, giving
his prediction on the games out
come. Tonight both teams will be
guests OF the Capitol Theater at the
show starting at o'clock.
TomorroW's homecoming events
open with the Georgetown Mary
land freshman game at 2 pm,
at Griffith Stadium. The annual
smoker for returning alumni will
be held at o'clock at the Mayf1ower
Hotel and the homecoming dance is
scheduled for 10 o'clock at the
Washington Hotel.
Card Task No Sinecure.
Catholic University's squad mean
while is to leave for Boston today
at pm. The Redbirds will have
their full squad ready for the ST.
Anslem's game, which promises to be
harder than most c. U. supporters
think.
Mike Cherello, sophomore guard;
Pete Osinski, center, and Hank SAINT
Ambrogio, halfback, all of whom
missed the Miami trip because OF
injuries, are going to Boston. They
should be useful for the Saints are
laying for the Cardinals and, after
having an off day last Saturday
repeatedly are in excellent condition
Star of the Boston eleven is Ed
Boule, left halfback, who does most
of the passing and can carry the
ball, and Coach Dutch Bergman
painstakingly has schooled the
Cards to break up Boule's bonn.
