Best Football Record
In Years Expected
By Little Hoyas
Teams in Three Glasses
Have Been Organized
By Coach Keotine

Georgetown Prep, after complet-
ing one of the schools most success
full football campaigns since 1888
three tie games last year, looks to
improvement of thar record this
year with a squad built around seven
returning letter men.
Speaking of 1888, Tommy Keating
former G. U. star beginning his
second year as head football coach
at the Prep, along with Joe Heekin
and Maury Nee. then formed COM
bination for the Garrett Parkers
that was capable OF stacking up
against Washington's best.
Tommy believes the age ruling in
Washington high schools will en-
able Georgetown Prep again to meet
them on something approaching an
even basis.
Three Teams Formed.
With student body of approx
mately 104, the majority of which
participates in light varied sports
Keating has drawn enough to COM
pose three teams-the school team
135-pound Junior outfit and 95-
pound midget squad.
Ben Decker, 150-pound quarter
back; Bud Eckrich, 185-pounder at
fullback, and George Ghecas, 17C
pounds at halfback, make up what
Coach Keating terms the fastest
Prep backfield in years.
Ghecas, brother Of Lou, shifty
G. U. back, is an au-around athlete
and, like his brother. Is a low 70
shooter on the golf course. Eckrich
also Is a star in other sports, having
set a school mark for the 100-yard
dash, as well as earning his letter
in basket ball and baseball. Expert

on are Lou Salb. center; Bud Gre

The clock was not started until

Here is an idea if your stove
gets overcrowded with pans. Turn
over the lid of pans and use the

A tablespoon or two of tomato

Prevent accidents when you are

To remove cream stains from

A current newspaper carries the
philosophical statement that only
800 aviators have been lost to Brit

Not even thousand yet! Avia-
tors are young men, above the aver

Legion, composed of ex-convicts,
loafers, failures, adventures. No,
they come from fine homes, they
are students, they are entrusted to
carry out the most delicate and
dangerous business of war. And 800
of them have already come down
to violent death in smoking fuselage
and tangled wreckage, and even if
not every one of them had not a
mother or wife to mourn him, hun
dreds of them had. Hundreds of
mothers have lain awake restless
and dry-eyed through the endless
nights ever since, and will not know
sleep or rest for many and many

young fine body, the loving, eager
heart, the gayety and sweetness OF

and candy and kilograms to arrive.
No, there's something we can do for
them; something they can't or won't
do for themselves.
That something is to stir up con-
