G. H., Edge Regoined, Is Ready
For Scrimmoge;; Team Is Hard
Hit by Loss of Kopcik

Scrimmage sessions will be added
to the routine at Georgetown tomor-
row as the Hoya footballers get down
to serious preparation for the Orange
Bowl game. Miami's New Year Day
classic, against Mississippi State.
Since receiving the invitation
week ago, the Hilltop players have
devoted their daily practice sessions
to calisthenticS and other light work
such as kicking and running. They
are sufficiently loosened up by now,
however, for bodily contact work.
Yesterday for the first time the
team was divided into squads and
run through signal practice. They
showed no signs of rustiness in spite
of their 15-day layof since the clos
ing of the regular season against
George Washington and the players
had little difficulty recalling their
assignments. 1t was revealed, how
ever, that End Mike Kopcik prob
ably would not be able to make the
trip.
Kopcik's knee was injured midway
of the season and the Christmas
holidays for him will be used for an
operation. His absence from the
Orange Bowl will be a serious loss.
The l95-pound junior has been the

teams most dependable punter and
he also has been outstanding on de-
Tense. In his stead, Coach Eagerly
indicated he probably would use
Joe Daniels Tor the main kicking
work with Lou Falcone and Frank
Dornfeld to back him up. The end
position will be played by Bill Wix-
ted, Art Lempke or Chris Pavich.
Yesterdays practice session was
pretty much like one in the early
fall days before the season opened.
The weather was mild and the
players went through their routines
with snap and spirit. Most of them
are in excellent shape physically
and mentally and they are looking
forward eagerly to the trip to
Miami
Hagerty plans to give the Hoyas
few new plays but will have them
work against Mississippi State with
the ones they used with such sue
cess all season. So far little is
known about Mississippi States
offense or defense except that it is
a version of the so-called "Tennes-
see system" but if and when Hag-
erty does hear from one of George
towns Southern scouts he may de-
wise special play or two to use
against the Maroon defense.
Systems Are Similar.
The Tennessee system, according
to Assistant Coach George Murtagh,
is very much like that in vogue at
Georgetown, depending mainly on
power and using a balanced line
Occasionally it has man in motion.
The canvas fence erected earlier
in the season around the George
town practice field to give the team
measure of privacy will not be
used this time, Hagerty said. In
stead, when the time comes for pri-
vate workouts away from the eyes
of Mississippi scouts the team will
shift indoors. probably to the riding
rink at Fort Myer or at some school.

Hoppe won the title in tourna-

farmer to buy expensive livestock,
and then buy expensive feed to raise
the animals.
Farmers who have NOT handled
livestock previously may best invest
their money in good pure-bred sires
for use on native or grade females.
They should get their experience
with limited numbers of animals

LAMB PRODUCERS
IMPROVE GRADING
Method Establishes Good Rep.
u~tations For Farmers On
Northern Marts
BY LOUIS H. WILSON, Editor
C. Department of Agriculture

N. C. Department of Agriculture
RALEIGH, March 10.-LR-Adop
ton of approved grading methods
has established enviable reputation.
for North Carolina farmers who
have marketed their lambs a.
northern terminals during the pas
IL months. Paul L. Fletcher, live
stock marketing specialist of the
state department of agriculture
said today.
A total of 4,373 lambs, all graded
having an aggregate weight of Sal,
378 pounds was sold to New York
buyers yielding farmers a net re
turn of $~26,660.44 during the past
year, the marketing authority re
ported.
Lambs shipments were assembled
through the cooperation of the coun
ty farm agents and other extension
service workers and graded by the
department.
"The grading of North Caroline
lambs has made it possible for pro
ducers to sell on a sight-unseer
basis to northern buyers who have
come to have respect for the graded
shipments that have been moved tt
their terminals" Fletcher added
Then, too, the farmers have taken
a keener interest in marketing, have
familiarized themselves with the de-
mands of buyers and are raising
lambs in keeping with the custom.
ers' requirements.
I'm fact, the cooperative exten.
sion service and department lamb
program has made it possible for
farmers to receive an additional in.
come that they probably would not
have under the old method of hap.
hazard shipping"
Fletcher said that lone of the
most important features of the CO.
operative program is that it permits
farmers to ship their lambs coop
eratively and collectively on the ba.
sis of grade, rather than ship single
assortments with uncertainty as to
prices that will be received.
The marketing authority empha.
sized that production specialists
have agreed that North Carolina
has a bright future in the field
Of lamb production"
THE sheep population, at times,
has been ten times greater in the
state than at present." he added.
1.-The annual income from this in
dustry has been reduced as much
as 100000 in a single western
North Carolina county since 1892.
Eastern North Carolina is adapted
to the production of lambs for the
New York market at a time whel,
the demand is at it's peak and sup
plies are having to be shipped from
California across the continent"
