Freshmen Little Help
To Hoyas Pointing
For Grid Season
End koneiIik Appears
Lone Find Among Lot
Used First Time

Freshmen are being used on the
varsity football team at GEORGETOWN
University for the first time this
season, but a week of practice has
shown Coach Jack Hagerty that
very few of them probably will make
the grade.
Hagerty, OF course, had little hope
OF uncovering long list of regulars
from among the first-year men, but
he did have an idea they would give
the Hoyas some much-needed re-
serve strength, Even this idea
gradually is leaving him. He rates
the present crop of youngsters as
one of the poorest, as far as foot
ball talent goes, ever to work under
him at the Hilltop and so far only
one really bright prospect has been
uncovered.
This is Larry Koncilik, fast end
who is good at snaring passes. He
Is inexperienced, Hagerty admits,
but he can grab the ball, and If he
does that IN crucial moment his
speed likely will carry him to a
score. So far the squad of 40 play
ers has devoted its time to condi-
tioning and signal drills, and more
might be learned OF freshman
prospects when they get down to
scrimmage and contact work late
this week.
Line Coach Mush Dubofsky espe-
cially Is IN need Of guards and tao
kles and gave the freshmen q good
going over In hope OF finding
something there but is doubtful
he'll uncover anything. He has
several who may get in a game If
Georgetown gets a big early edge.
Best he has found as an aid to the
few returning regulars Is a pair of
sophomore guards, Elmer Gefty)
Oberto and Buz Wender.
Among the other promising soph-
omore prospects are Ends Tom Cos
tello and Red Dwyer. II they con-
tinue to improve as they have dur
ing the last week 1t will be some
help, because Georgetown is fairly
well fixed for backs and needs most

Trout Among the -
The stripers weren't rising, but
they were striking with fair regu-
larity, and among them were many
reasonably large trout. Boats fish,
ing the shore from Holland Point
to North Beach had equally good
luck. but the best catches came from
across the bay around Knapps Mar
rows, in the mouth Of tho Choptank
and up around Bloody Point.
