MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Dec. 28.-
For the second consecutive day Head
Coach Jack Hagerty drove his "a
man Georgetown University football
squad at full speed today in prepa-
ration for the New Year Day battle
with Mississippi State.
During a workout which originally
was semi-private and which wound
up as a practice conducted in utmost
secrecy, Hagerty punished the Hoyas
yesterday, and today was to send
them through a double drill, the
first at 10 o'clock in the morning
and the second at o'clock. Hagerty
originally had planned to put his
team through q double workout yes
terday, but hard rain washed out
the first session and all but pre-
vented an afternoon practice.
Il figure the team will become
acclimated by next Monday or
Tuesday," Hagerty said. "The kids
were all tired out after yesterdays
drill. The weather is so warm that,
after 10 or Is minutes of hard work,
they are all through"
Hagerty still has not decided upon
his starting lineup. For press pur-
poses he put his tentative lineup"
on view today.
In the backfield he had Jim
Castiglia, Jules Koshlap, Lou Ghecas
and Joe McFadden. On the line were
Bill Wixted and John Lascari, ends;
Earl Fullilove and AL Blozis, tackles;
Mark Estimate and Augie Lilo,
guards, and AL Matuza, center
They make nice team" Hagerty
conceded. But we still haven't got
a punter. If we are to have punter
I'll have to put Joe Daniels in Blozis'
place or else start Frank Dornfield
or Jack Spencer in place of Ghecas."
1t is reported the Mississippians
remain a favorite, in some spots,
9-to-5. If State is this good, George
town will need punter. But
Georgetown people gathering for
the game disagreed. All they think
is necessary, in a kicking way, is
somebody to kick off and somebody
to add the extra points.
