That narrow squeak Georgetown
experienced last week in trimming
Temple hasn't served to irritate the
Hoyas to the proper pitch of indig-
nation and Coach Jack Hagerty is
fretting With his team slated to
tackle Mississippi tomorrow night at
Grifnth Stadium Hagerty has occa-
sion to worry.
Ole Miss will invade with a squad
whose quality remains a mystery
despite its 1916 victory over Western
Kentucky State Teachers last week.
Western Kentucky State Teachers
Isn't exactly one of the Nations
football powers and reports from
the South have Coach Harry Mehre
complaining Mississippi didn't per-
form acceptably.
Georgetown. likewise, didn't estab-
lish itself with TO triumph over
Temple. The Hoyas displayed
staunch defense but with the excep-
ton Of their lone touchdown drive
they revealed little punch The bows
weren't clicking with their T forma-
ton and Hagerty had hoped they'd
be eager to smooth the kinks this
week.
Hoyas Lack Enthusiasm.
The Hoyas haven't bounced back
with the zest Hagerty was wishing
for, however, and yesterday they
staged one Of their dullest workouts
OF the season. They were lackadai-
slcal In a dummy scrimmage and
Hagerty predicted an unpleasant
evening for Georgetown tomorrow
unless the Hoyas snap out of it.
Mississippi has an incentive to
wallop Georgetown. Last year Ole
Miss absorbed 1876 defeat from
the Hoyas here, then went unde-
feated until the final game of the
season, when Mississippi State beat
the Rebels, 60, for the Southeast
ern title.
Georgetown doesn't quite know
what to expect from the Rebels, but
1t is fearing the worst from Charley
Conerly a sophomore flash. Last
week he completed five passes in
five attempts for a gain of SO yards,
returned two punts for 81 yards
and gained "a yards rushing in
three efforts.
Coach Mehre expressed dissatis-
faction with the showing of the
Rebels against the Teachers, though,
and says his team must meet some
real opposition before he will give
it a rating He lost a battalion
/, OF players to armed forces and
through graduation, but the Rebels
are playing freshmen on the varsity
and HageTty suspects they've come
up with some good rockies.
Conerly and Yandell Team.
Conerly teams with Bobby Yandell
at the halfback posts and while they
may not develop to be fashy enough
to make Ole Miss followers forget
the Hapes and Hovious of last sea-
son, Hagerty feels they're talented
enough to Great considerable trouble
Hagerty may be forced to alter
the lineup that romped on the field
to face Temple. Guard Tom Pom
sale is nursing badly bruised leg,
and If he isn't able to play, will be
replaced by Elmer Oberto, 205-
pound sophomore who earned praise
for his toll against Temple.
Otherwise the Hoyas are likely to
start with Ed Agnew, Frank Dorm
field, Johnny Barrett and Bill Nc
Laughlin in the backfield, Lou Ro-
bustelli and Bob Duffey at ends,
George Perpich and Ross Sorce at
tackles, Dick Werder and Ponsalle
or Oberto at guards and Bill Erick-
son at center.
Mississippi is slated to arrive here
early this evening. with light
workout listed at Griffith Stadium.
