  MuSh DubOtSky’S scout report OH villanova, to be met by Georgetown Friday night in Philadelphia, made Hoya Coach Jack Hagerty wonder why the Wildcats accepted the Great Lakes Bowl bid against Kentucky II the Cats are as good as Mush claims, they belong at least IN the Rose Bowl. Are they as good as Boston Col lege?” Hagerty asked, and Mush almost jumped down his boss throat “As good” whispered Mush, In a tone that was picked up on the Fordham seismograph, there’s moo o-o-o-o comparison. (Actuany there is a comparison as B. c. defeated Villanova. 6–⁠0O LAS good as Wake Forest?” Hagerty meekly asked. Much better than Wake Forest” Mush replied “bigger, faster, smarter, stronger better runners, better passers, more reserves” In view of the fact that George town lost to both Boston College and Wake Forest, coach VINO didn’t know Mush would have been on the verge of cancel;ng the game, but Dubofsky and Hagerty are bud dies of long standing.

The Hoys runners frequently have run into their own blockers or have beer brought down because of a lack o. advance men.

In the few minutes HI played against the Eagles, the Bab’ stood out as the Hoyas outstanding ball player of the day. Werder Back at Work. Bus Werder, Dubofsky’s candidate as the greatest lineman of the season returned to practice yesterday anc will start at left guard against The Wildcats. Tommy Graham, tht Hoyas’ spot runner, recovered from the slight conclusion suffered II the B. c. game and also will be available for full duty.
