Returning Baranowski
To Get Big Welcome
From 6. u. Staff
By GEORGE Huber

The Babe s coming back to
Georgetown. Henry Baranowski,
the little pigskin toter and quarter
back who helped the Hoyas tre-
mendously last year when Elmer
Raba was injured, is en- route from
his Chicago home and Is expected
back at the Hilltop late this week.
Babe didn't turn out with other
Georgetown gridders three weeks
ago because Of a conditional mark
or two on his scholastic record. But
these have been removed, he's ELI
gible again and he'll be more than
welcome on squad that lacks depth
at quarterback as well as almost
everywhere else.
Baronowski is little, reaching only
about 5-foot-6, but chunky. He's a
fair runner and good passer and
blocker, and last year did most of
the teams drop-kicking. Babe would
be welcome to the Hoyas this year
If only because OF that kicking
talent, because so far Coach Jack
Hagerty has tried every one on the
squad in an effort to find some one
who can do consistent converting.
When Guard Bus Werder converted
three touchdowns in last Saturdays
practice game against Maryland it
was the best effort by any one on
the team so far, and better than
Werder ever had done in practice.
Hagerty needs him in the line,
however.
Baranowski will be welcome as a
relief for Raba as quarterback also.
Right now Bob Barry figures as the
No. l replacement, but he's still
plenty green although showing
promise of developing considerably
as the season progresses. The Babe
is g. colorful chap who's well liked
and who puts a lot of spark into
the team. His selection of plays is
good, and as soon as he whips into
shape it will strengthen the Hoya
brain department.
The Districts college football
teams were increased by one yes
terday as go Catholic U. candidates
reported for the first Cardinal team
since 1910. The morning workout
under Coach Gene Augusterfer last
ed only Is minutes because of the
downpour, but they made up for 1t
in the afternoon with an extra hour
of work. With most of the boys
having had spring practice, they
went to work right away in running
through some of the plays they'll
uss this fall, and even without pads
they did little light contact drill.
Augusterfer seemed pleased at the
size of the turnout and particularly
in the weight some of the boys
showed. He figures he may have a
team that averages as much as 100
pounds. Gussie figures the opener
against Western Maryland as the
toughest: after that he's got as good
a chance as the next man.
Among some of the good boys on
hand are AL Fulner and Dave Jen-
kins, two big tackles; Jack Samper-
ton, tall flashy end from Central
High School; Gene Sklarz and
George Rhodes, pair of speedy
halfbacks, and Harry Leverone, a
225-pound fullbsck.
Coach Jim Tatum at Maryland
made his first cut In the Terp squad
Of 100 yesterday. leaving IS on the
A squad. His probable starting
lineup is an all-veteran outfit with
the exception of Freshman Chet
Gierula at right tackle Others are
George Simler and Frannie Evans at
ends, Ray Krause, tackle; Ed
Phillips and Ed Schwarz, guards;
Gene Kinney, center; Joe Tucker,
quarterback; Hubie Werner and Lou
Garnbino. halfbacks, and Harry
Bonk, fullback,
