Big Jersey Boy Best
Punter Georgetown
Has Had in Years
Takes Over Bootins Job
From Kopeik; Erickson
Gets Trial at Center
BY LEWIS F. ATCH1SON.

A couple of obscure working parts
that have made Georeetown's grid
machine click will receive due rec
ognition tonight when the Hoyas
kickoff to Virginia Tech at GrifIith
Stadium in the lone pigskin party
booked here this week end.
Joe Daniels, one of the longest
punters in Hilltop history, has been
selected to do the kicking and Bill
(Whitey) Erickson, broad-beamed
sophomore center, is stepping up
two notches ahead of AL Matuza
and Jim Reichey into the starting
position. On them may rest George
towns hopes. but Coach Jack
Hagerty Is confident they'll handle
the assignments without hitch.
Erickson's Start Surprises.
Daniels selection is no surprise,
but Hagerty's decision to start Erick-
son hit the squad like a bombshell.
A 200-pounder from Pompton Lakes,
N. j., Whitley has done everything
asked of him and is tagged Ger
tainly to be first string in Al, but
ousting Matuza and Reichey from
the pivot was considered next to
impossible. It's a man-sized task
ahead of him and Erickson will have
to move in high gear to Justify
Hagerty's faith in him. but the lad
seemed ready yesterday when the
Hoyas romped through q final
warmup session.
Labeled too slow to be a reliable
booter last year, Daniels has speeded
up the tempo sufficiently to warrant
a chance at Mike Kopcik's job and
if hitting the ball right he'll give
Tech something to remember him
by. Daniels is tall and loose. which
accounts for the time required to
get the ball away, but he also gets
lot OF leverage into his effort and
that gives him both distance and
height.
Big Chance for Daniels.
This is Joe's big chance Either
he goes back into the line as an
other tackle or he puts himself up
as serious challenger for the kick
ing berth in big games coming up.
Moving Kopcik out Of there Is a
formidable task. particularly since
Mike has a comforting habit of
doing his best under pressure. but
Daniels can outdo him if in form
and he'll certainly be trying.
Tech. defeated by one-touchdown
margins in its last three games, has
pointed for the Huyas and will be
ready for rousing battle. The
Gobblers are hot and cold" eleven
and reports from Blacksburg indicate
this may be one of their hot
evenings. The return of Co-Capt.
Jim Coleman, 190-pound tackle, and
the presence of five triple-threat
backs-Mason Blandford. Rankin
Judson, George Warriner, Gene
Wheeler and Johnny Smiths not
calculated to impair their chances.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (N.A.NA).-
As we hunted grouse together on

In our racket as the "assonance"-
the thing that sounds like a rhyme,

AS soon as got back to the tele-

assonance in popular songs, of which
