SP ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D...C, Fhser:. X S 29, 1931 Lo ond SPORT Mills of Georgetown Sees Tremendous Task in Western Maryland Tilt BELIEVES TERRORS LOOK FOR VICTORY Feels Hilltop Tearrf May Win if It Performs to Its Ut- most Ability. BY H. C. BYRD. OACH TOM MILLS Georgetown’s foot .team has his mind set on just one thing right now— his game Saturday with Western of Maryland. And all of the Blue' and Gray’s gridiron interests for the present are wrapped up in the same objective, and will continue to be until that objective is passed. Western Maryland coming here with a team that has whipped the local school the last two years, and has more than a faint idea it may turn the trick| again. Whatever may b2 the optimistic slants of newspaper writers and Georgetown supporters, as far as success for the Blue and Gray is concerned, Mills certainly does not share that in its eatirety. Mills knows that he has a much better fcot ball team than he sent against Western Maryland last season, but instead of fig- uring that Western Maryland is weaker, as others seem to think, he is of the opinion that Western Maryland should be stronger. “Harlow and three of his players were down at our game last week,” sald Mills this morning, “and they did nct seem | to be worried one bit by what they saw. | In fact, I feel that they were just a lit- tle more confident after they watched us play than they were before. What- ever others may think, in my opinion Harlow and his men have it back in their heads that they are going to take our measure again. Sees Plenty of Trouble. “What I think about the game is another matter, but certainly I don't share the unbounded optimism that seems to pervade our people generally. ‘We have a much better eleven than last year, although it has not yet satisfied me that it is doing as well as it can do. If we defeat Western Maryland it will be because we get out there and play a It better foot ball than we played last season. I believe that we have it in us to win, but whether or not we shall is another question. It all depends on whether we come through this week and deliver everything we have. The right frame of mind, every man giving to the utmost both as individuals and as & team, may bring victory to Georgetown, but this combination is all that will.” Geergetown is bending its time this ‘week to the perfection of its offense, remembering that last year it was able to get very little ground against the ‘Western Maryland defense. The Blue and Gray backs were against a stone | wall most of the time last season, and Mills means to get his men through this year if painstaking effort in per- fecting plays is any_criterion. The game should be one of the best of ' the year. It will mark the coming_together of two big and well coached elevens, both imbued with the do-or-die spirit. Indications are that as an exhibition of hard, good foot ball the game should have a distinct edge on the one I which Virginia comes here to play Maryland. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY is getting id of the bruises it received in the Boston College game. landers went through a workout yes- terday which consisted largely of mas- sage and exercises to get the stiffness from sore muscles. It was a tough, grueling struggle through which the team went at Boston Saturday, and its fine showing came as balm to sup- porters of the university, who have gone through some lean years as far as foot ball victories are concerned. Catholic U. meets City College of New York this week and should win, Certainly if it plays the kind cf foot ball it showed for three-quarters of the game at Boston College. it may look toward the contest wilh the Goth- amites with a good deal of cntimism. EORGE WASHINGTON probably will have worse than a wnlknwn‘ this week. It meets Elon College of North Carolina, a school which last week went down before F.oanoke Col- lege by about four touchdowns. The Colonials ought to win about as they please and run up a big score However, with the prospect of an easy game this week, George Washing- ton still has cause for glcom. becau: it has discovered thet its s.ar halfback, Penlon, has a broken bone in his ‘oot instead of a sprain, as had been thought. The injury was sustained in training camp, and the slowness with which it seemed to heal caused en X-ray examination. Carlin got a twist- ed leg last week that may also keep him on the sidelines for 10 days, ARYLAND'S practice brought out the fact that no serious injuries were sustained in the game with Washington Col- lege, Krajcovic got a bruised back. Berger sustained z rather severe kick on the shin and Chalmers has a bruised shoulder, but outside these injuries the team is in good shape Chalmers probably will be the slow- est to get ready again, but it is ex- pected that he will be able to start against Virginia Saturday. Despite its poor showing last weck 1t 1s likely that Maryland will start the same eleven against Virginia it placed on the field 2gainst Washington Col- le‘e. And most of the time this week will be given over to perfe last_week, were hardly recognizable for what they really are.
