context_section_description: Reilly played for the Georgetown Blue and Gray at Georgetown University. As a player, he was an All-Southern halfback and captain of the 1902 team. An account of a 12–5 victory over Navy reads "No occupants of the half back positions who have been seen here this season have approached the showing made by Joe Reilly to-day." Hub Hart, who had also attended Boston College, was in the same backfield. Reilly also lettered in other sports, including baseball and rowing. He ran track as well, captaining the squad and called its fastest man. He once held the record for the 220 yards.
