OCTOBER 2, 1923. - HILLTOP GRID SQUAD'’ POINTS FOR MARINES Active preparations for Saturday's game at American League Park with the Marines were started yesterday by the Georgetown foot ball squad. with changes in the varsity line-up preceding the drill. Head Coach Jackie Maloney shunted Fullback Tony Plansky to team B, shifting Polly Byrne from halfback to full- back and promoting Halfback Ray Haas from team B to the varsity. In the line Tommy Thompson was moved from right tackle to right guard, replacing Heinie Jawish, sent to team B, while Mike Murtagh and Jerry Minihan of the second-string- ers were promoted to tackle and cen- ter respectively on the varsity. Mini- han supplanted ‘Gene Golsen, turned back to team B. Capt. Paul Florence and Eddie Snell resumed their flank . positions and probably will start on the ends Satur. day, These players are apt at receiv- ing forward passes and are expected to improve Georgetown's aerlal at- tack. The varsity was sent into a brisk scrimmage with the scrubs, in which particular attention was paid o the forwards. Coach Maloney ‘will { continue to shift his linemen until he gets a fast-charging set. George Washington, Catholic Uni- versity and Maryvland squads were given strenuous workouts, although only the Hatchetites and the Mar landsrs have games this week. Fol {lowing their outdoor drill, the Mary- |landers went to a skull class, for much rudim, y training is needed before Pen nia is encountered. George Washington probably has lost Pryor, its fullback, for the re- mainder of the season. It dis- covered yesterday that Pr: col- larbone ~was broken du: the Georgetown game last week.

(Copyright, 1923.) line He | How Foot Ball Is Played By SOL METZGE] NY foot ball coach will tell you that the answer is quite simple. Seven-elevenths of the team play on the line of scrimmage, four-elevenths of the team play in the backfield. The lite is threc-clevenths stronger than the backfield. One other way of looking at this matter is to con- sider the proposition from another angle. Ask yourself which back will gain the most ground, the mediocre one, who has holes opened for him, or the strong back who. runs to the line of scrimmage and is met by tacklers? P . The main strength of a team depends upom the power and skill of its line of forwards. Unless they can open holes and take the burden of de- fense off the backs, any team will fail before opponents of its class.

LONDON, ‘October 2.—It took Georges Carpentier, the French fight; er, just about twenty seconds, last night to put the quietus on the cham- pionship aspiraions of Joe Beckett; who holds the heavyweight title in Great Britain. Carpentfer used Doth lefts and rights in/a brief series of exchanges, and Beckett remained on the floor for the final count. The two men received a great ova- tion when they entered the ring for their twenty-round bout, and for a fleeting moment Beckett was wreath- ed_in smiles. Beckett lgd with a light left to his opponent’s jaw, but there was no power in the blow, and Carpentier shot over a left, followed by & right to Beckett's jaw with terrible force, and Beckett ‘went down for a count of five. The Englishman got to his feet rather groggily, and the Frenchman dashed in and with rights and lefts beat Beckett down again near the ropes, falling on top of him. On rising, Carpentler stood back. Beck ett gripped the bottow rope in an ef fort to pull himself to his feet, but he was so badly spent that apparently he had lost all sense of what was golng on, and before the count had been completed his seconds threw in the towel, and thus ended one of the quickest 'and most sensational of heavywelght contests.
