Cardinals don't play their first game
until October II. while the others
open on September 27, which isn't
too far away.
There1l be some physical improve
ments around grid practice fields.
George Washington is going to
Camp Let's and will stay there
until just before the first game. Aft
er that, the Colonials probably will
drill behind the Armory, where
there is room for half dozen fields,
instead of across the Potomac River
as they did last year. Dressing IA
cilities also will be available at the
Armory.
A wooden fence is being erected at
Maryland to give the Terps more
privacy. Georgetown also plans a
fence around its football field. The
athletic field at the Hilltop has had
a complete going over this summer
1t has been widened and that hill
behind first base on the baseball
diamond has been removed. That
makes room for another gridiron
where the freshmen will cavort un-
der Coaches Bill Wixted and Joe
McFadden. Hap Hardell, frosh di-
rector last year, now is concentrat-
ing all his time on track. He'll try
cross country this fall and the word
is out that Georgetown again will
be power on the cinder paths
before long.
