G. III. s. Football Schedule
With but four regulars left from
last years football squad, Coach
George Keen is busy trying to whip
a new eleven into shape for the
opening game with the County
Seats old rival, Laurel, to be play
ed at Laurel on the night of OctO-
Der 6. This will be the only night
game of the season on the Golden
Nights schedule, as the locals
sometimes are called, and will
start with the whistle at O'Clock.
William Dolby, one of last years
squad, has been chosen captain
with Virgil Pase and Bobby Elliott
as managers. Man for man this
years eleven is the smallest for
several seasons, but Coach Keen
hopes to make up for the lack of
weight in developing speed among
the players. The schedule calls for
eight games, five. of which will be
played at home. For the past three
seasons Georgetown High has been
playing a majority of the games
away. Local fans will see more
high school football this season
than they have for the past three
years. The schedule: Friday, OctO-
Der 6, 8 p. m. Laurel at Laurel,
Friday, October 10, 2.3O p. m. Sea-
ford at Georgetown, Wednesday,
October IS, 2.30 p. m. Caesar Rod

Der 81, Georgetown at Delmar, Fri

p. m. Laurel at Georgetown, Fri
day, November II, 2.30 p. m. Mil
ford at Georgetown, Thursday,

that he has a tough schedule be-
cause most of the squads of other
schools have a number of last
years players this season. M
