Dy DOn1ON QA" hlNS.
Georgetown's football roster again
is loaded with such tongue-twis
and headline e-hampering names as
Jaworowski, Kasperowicz, Kowalski,
Kulikowski and Gyorgydeak, but
those who have followed the Hoyas
over a span of years aren't surprised
to find little Irishman, Eddie Ag-
new, running the show. Irish quar-
terbacks have become a Hilltop
tradition.
Up front. where the pounding is
more emphatic and the punishment
generally is greater, Line Coach
Mush Dubofsky employs the Poles,
Hungarians, Italians, Swedes and
Greeks, but in prefering a trigger
thinking Irishman for his quarter
back Coach Jack Hagerty is follow
ing Georgetown blueprint.
In the last 20 years 15Hoya field
generals have come from Irish stock
and many have held their positions
on the first team for more than one
season.
1t was Copper" Joe McFadden,
for instance, who directed George
towns crack club of two years ago.
He held the job for three straight
years and when Boston Colleges
Sugar Bowl team of 1910 selected its
all-opponent team McFadden was
its quarterback.
Keating 4 Star Safety Man.
His Irish predecessor, Tommy
Keating, also was the varsity signal
caller for three successive seasons.
One of the Hilltop's greatest safety
men, Keating was outstanding on
mediocre teams and figured prom
inently in Georgetown's 7-6 victory
over Bill Guckeyson and his Mary
land mates in his senior year.
Perhaps the most famous George
town quarterback was tomato-faced
Harry Costello, hero of four consecu-
tive triumphs over Virginia when
the Hoya-Cavalier feud was at its
skull-cracking peak.
Old grads report Costello was the
cum laude character among the
Hilltop's Irish. He booted three field
goals against Virginia in 1911, twice
played against the Carlisle Indians
and Jim Thorpe and as a sopho-
more and again as Junior only
Costello could halt the great Indian.
Thorpe repeatedly crashed through
Georgetown's line only to be ground
ed by Costello and Thorpe finally
picked himself up, looked long and
respectfully at little Harry and
patted his head as if to say, MY
boy, you're quite man.
A decade later another George
town Irishman romped to glory
from the quarterback spot. This
triple-threat performer. Jack Fla
vim, teamed with Bill Kenyon, now
coach at Maine, to conquer mighty
Holy Cross and Boston College in
1921. Against the Crusaders Fla
win booted the ball over 100 yards
for the longest punt ever recorded
at Fitton Field.
Agnew Making Good.
A long list of lesser lights COM
plete the ranks of Georgetown quar-
terbacks and all are Irish, among
them Bernie Donoghue, Paul Ken
nedy, Ralph Duplin, George Nc
Cabe, Bob Gormley and Joe Gard
ner, the present Georgetown gradu-
ate manager.
Agnew is doing all right with the
current crop Of Hoyas. He has di-
rected them to victories over Temple,
Mississippi and Manhattan, further
than Hagerty had hoped to advance
with an undefeated, united team.
Auburn will test his maneuvering OF
the Hilltoppers on Saturday night
at Griffith Stadium but about that
department Hagerty isn't worrying.
He has an 1rishman for the job.
George Washington, preparing for
a Southern Conference clash with
Furman Friday night at Griffith
Stadium, will be bolstered by the re-
turn of Back Frank Seno who has
wired Coach Johnny Baker he will
be available for the battle. Seno
had been summoned to his Mendoza.
Ill. home by his draft board but was
deferred.
Seno isn't expected to return here
until tomorrow and consequently
won't view much action against Fur
man, but he'll help some and Baker
can stand help in tina. struggle.
G. w. General Damaged.
Jimmy Graham. the Colonials
signal-caller, is banged up but is ex-
pected to see action. G. w. was
forced inside for its workout yester-
day and the light drill didn't aggra-
vate the squads assortment OF
bruises and cuts.
Meanwhile, Coach Clark Shaugh-
messy of Maryland is indicating he
regards the Old Liners game with
v. M. I. on Saturday at Lexington
as his clubs first big test and pos
sibly as tough contest as Mary
land will have all season.
Shaughnessy drilled the Old Lin
