.'47 Football Card
Announced by 6. u.

Georgetown University's 1947 foot
ball schedule, released yesterday, is
pretty much the same as that with
which the Hoyas returned to the
gridiron last year. There's one new
school on the program, Tulsa U. to
be met at Tulsa, while Scranton was
dropped.
Reason for the similarity between
the two schedules Is that most of the
contracts were for two years. The
Hilltoppers won five games and
dropped three last fall.
On paper, football prospects at
Georgetown look pretty good this
year. OF 26 lettermen, Is are return

Coach Judge Fashions
His Hoya Nine Around
Two Veteran Stars

A couple of youngsters who were
good enough to make q popular
magazines all-star Eastern team
last season head up what may be
one of Georgetown's best mines since
the days of Joe McFadden, Jim Cas-
tiglia and other prewar stars. They
are Pitcher Tom Flynn, a right
handler, and Catcher Mohn Moskal,
both from Buffalo.
Coach Joe Judge isn't ready to
make any predictions about the pair,
but it is reported that the New York
Yankees are after them.
Flynn is said to be a fireballer
with hop a foot high, although
Judge hasn't yet let him open up.
Moskal is a bit small for a catcher,
but so was Muddy Ruel, and on the
Hilltop they think the kid may be
another Ruel. On paper they make
good battery, but more will be
learned about them after April q,
when the Hoyas open against Yale.
Judges biggest problem has been
whiting down the squad to work.
able size, and beginning tomorrow
he'll have in uniform only Is or 30
survivors out of more than three
score candidates. George More
house, a right-hander, and South
paw George Freisen seem to have
an edge on most of the 10 pitchers
who reported, although Judge isn't
discounting Bob Cora, big right
hand holdover from last year.
The outfield should be strong, with
Elmer Raba, who slugged the ball at
a 1897 clip for Notre Dame last
spring. and Pete Baker, a transfer
from first base, heading the list Of
job-seekers.
Rod Miller, a tall left-hander from
Georgetown Prep, has the inside
track at first base, while Joe Con-
nors, erstwhile basket ball star, and
Lou Surman of football fame are
brawling over second. Shortstop
probably will be in the capable
hands of Johnny Burke, although
Judge wishes he had more batting
power, while Art Schultz, a lad
with terrific throwing arms, is ex-
pected to land the third-base role.

to Coolidge,s Bob Kleinknecht, who

more than 80 gridders took part in a
prolonged scrimmage that was wit
messed by number of scholastic

dents.
While there has been no definite
selection of first and second or any
teams, two elevens that took the
field had good deal of significance
They were:
Team No. Fired Davis, left end :;
Fred Jackson, left tackle; Larry
Cooper, left guard; George Simler,
center; Ed Schwarz, right guard; !;
! Jim Goodman, right tackle; Aubrey

back.
Team No. 2-Leroy Morter, Joe
Drach, Oscar Dubois, Gene Kinney,
Hank Nary, Clarence Whipp, Francis
Evans, Joe Tucker, Hubie Werner,
Tony Gambino. and Earl Roth.
jun Kurz, a leading guard candi-
date, was sidelined with injuries.
All the players mentioned were
around last year and all won letters
except Cooper, Whip, Mccall,
Baroni, Behr, Dubois, Nary, Roth,
Tucker and Werner. Cooper and
Whip were ineligible. Werner, who
has appeared to be about the best
all-around back, received letter in
1912, but broke an ankle before the
start of the 1946 campaign, and Behr,
letterman in 1914 and 1945, broke
three toes in the third game last
fall.
The roster now stands at 81 play
ers, but several others besides Kurz
are on the injured list, including
Varnon Seibert, a clever running
back.

in a sad condition, being very dirty
but it still ran.
After bringing the clock home his
wife didn't think it was much of a
bargain, so he gave it to his daugh-

if she would clean it. This she
gladly did and she now has a clock
to be proud of. 1t stands about three
feet high, on the mantle, and has a

it is hand carved and has claw feet
