MARYLAND ACC|ES
IN FINE CONDITION
Will Line Up Against Central
High School Eleven
Tomorrow. >.

Local foot ball enthusiasts will have
their first opportunity to witness the new

MARYLAND Agricultural College team will

Central High School The game will be
very little different from those seen last
year. While the high school lads NAV

Many adherents of Tech, Western and

Central squad, as the Blue and White
team Will have to show its hand complete

against its heavy opponent.
The Farmers have been working hard

The coaches have been putting a pre-
mum on 1ast end running and straight

ing the ball direct from center The Ag-
gies have always been very proficient in
the open style Of play.
me Centralites are hardly considered
dangerous, but it is possible that one of
their fast halfbacks may get away on a
long run that will mean a touchdown.
Coach Aston says that he expects 1o-to-
U score.
The Suburbanites will line up as fol-
lows: Andrews. left end; Kemp, left
tackle; Myers, left guard; Koehler, center;
Mudd, right guard; Posey, right tackle;
Warthen, right end; Binder, left halfback:
Duckett. right halfback; Trox, fullback:
Myers and Binder are the only new men
on the team. Duckett has been shifted
from end to halfback. and Warthen one
OF last years second string men, is filling
his former position. Shipley is directing
the plays.
The team is well balanced and fast. The
line is heavy: the backfield light but
strong. The college lads will undoubtedly
give good account of themselves in the
big games to come.

|FOOT BALL SEASON
STARTS WITH SHOCK
New Rules, However, Not Re-
sponsib|e for Pennsy|vania's
Defeat by Minor Eleven.

Foot ball for 1910 has started with q
shock to the ''old guard" which has long
bowed down to the fetish of the big
four" Many will be ready to argue from
the defeat of Pennsylvania by the prac-
tically unknown Ursinus team that 1t is
but q foreiunner of a revolution in the
eridiron sport and that the little oiigarchy
that has been dominant SO long in the
great autumn sport is doomed to suffer
a leveling process to the same plane as
that long maintained by the minor col
legiAns. 1t is consoling for the imme-
date followers of Pennsylvania to have
the new rules to blame for the rather
startling upset, but it can hardly be at
tributed to the changes that the major
eleven was downed at the outset of the
season.
The old saying holds true here that
what IS sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander." The same conditions
faced each team. when the first preiimi-
naries were started, and the victory of
the minor team simply proved that it
was able to adapt itself better and learn
the new points faster. or it's team is
really a superior one. Notwithstanding the
change in the style of play The latter
is very likely the true reason, as the
general opinion of those who saw the
game is that the Red and Blue is away
below the par Of other years. The re-
versal need not be taken too seriously
and one can hardly seneralize on the
outcome of the season with it as a ba-
sis for argument.
It Is quite safe to predict that Yale,
Harvard and Princeton will be occupying
the same old places Of Importance this
year as In the days gone by They learn
ed the game when it was changed before
and were able to hold their prestige. The
revision Is hardly more radical than it
was when the forward pass and ten-yard
rules were introduced, so there seems to
be no logical reason why they cannot do
so again. IT is all question of aptitude
and adaptability, with the necessary
prowess. The squad that Penn
sylvania put on the field Saturday was
lacking In these essentials, so
little weight can be given to the result as
to its bearing in general way on future
doings.
This week, however. will be frausht
with Importance for the lovers of foot
bail. All eyes will be turned to New
Haven Wednesday to see how Yale has
taken to the up-to-date foot ball. Yves
ieyan will 60 into the fray against the
Blue with high hopes Of winning. because
of the new possibilities that have been
opened. The Methodists have been COM
ing along fast in the last few years and
should give odd Ell a fine tryout. Yale
has not been doing and will have had
two weeks OF good drill at Lakeville be-
hind them. On the same day Harvard
will meet Bates and Pennsylvania will
get another chance to show If they are
to be in the running against Dickinson,
4 team of practically all green players.
Wednesday will be the real opening of
the foot bali season. and it will furnish
get a fairly comprehensive idea Of what
this seasons foot ball Is going to be.
