the extra experience had by the veterans

other South Atlantic elevens may win
from Georgetown, but 1t will not be after

Blue and Gray will go against much bet

should be in its favor.
Maryland Aggies' Outlook Bright.
/; Out at the Maryland Agricultural Col
| lege It appears that q team at least as
| capable as that of last year should be de-
veloped. The Farmers came through in
! 1912 with the best team they have had
| in seven years. and one Of the strongest
i'll their history. With three exceptions,
the whole squad of twenty-four men Will
return. The only three men who will be
lost are those who held down the three
center positions. White and Wilson,
| chance that the first mentioned two Will
return, but koehler graduated. Aitcheson
proved himself capable performer in the
center position last fall, and no fear is
felt but that he will be able to make good
| there. 1t will be surprise If he does not
/ prove a more valuable man than his
predecessor.
/ Both regular ends and their substitutes
| Will be out for the first practice, which
will be held Thursday Johnson and Will
| liams were the hankers on the 1917 eleven
| and Pennington and Coster We're the sec
ond string men for the positions. Hind
| man and Rowland were the regular tack
! les, with Huntemann and Posey as the
next choices. The first mentioned pair
| were the best linemen on the team, but 1t
| is thought that the latter two will show
/ lot of FORM II Huntemann and Posey
| can make good at tackles the other two
/ men will be shifted to other positions
Foscy and Huntemann are much heavier
men than Hindman and Rowland and axe
| just as fast. Aitcheson will probably play
center, but two good guards must b.
found. Day. who played on the scrubs
and who developed rapidly as basket
! ball player, might make good there. It
! is hard to tell who will I'LL those Two
places unless, as has been said, one Of the
/ regulars returns.
Every man used in the backfield will re-
port for the first practice Morris,
I.oonlis, Hoffecker, Ruff. Shipley and
knode are the ones who We're used be-
hind the line. Hoffecker and Morris, last
years and this years captains, respect
lively, were the regular halfbacks, and
! they will be out for the same positions.
| Ruff played fullback, and, If he shows the
| Improvement this season that he did last.
| will be one of the most valuable men on
| the squad. Shipley and Knode were the
quarterbacks, the latter playing the po-
| sitiun during the greater part of the
season while the former was injured.
Loomis was handicapped by lack of OK
| perience, but he showed a lot of natural
ability. being able to carry the ball very
| well.
| It is known that some new material
will be on hand. coleman, who played at
Technical High, will be out. and prob
| school. These men are linemen. Two
members Of the Frederick High eleven
| Of 1912 will enter NJ. A. c., one Of them
being McIienry. Eneman, and the
M. A. c. Lost Only One Game.
The Farmers lost only one game last
year, but they will have to have much
stronger aggregation to go through this
season with that kind Of a record. A
much heavier and longer schedule is to
be played. One factor which will have
much to do with the Aggies' success or
failure Is the injury to Morris. He was
the most reliable ground gamer in 1912
and # he comes around all right 1t will
mean that q good backfield will be de-
veloped If he fails to toe the mark In
good shape 1t will be pract.cally impos-
sible to fill his place. The chances are,
though, that he Will be all right.
+, 1t is hard to tell just what kind Of a
team NJ. A. c. will have. but practically
everybody familiar with conditions seems
to think it will make strong bid for
the state championship. Last year the
Farmers defeated every team except st.
Johns, and St. Johns is not going to
have the splendid bunch Of athletes on
its team this season that it did last.
Gallaudet will start it's season with
practically It's whole team back. Such
are the prospects at Kendall Green that
the followers Of the school are banking
| on having one of the best seasons In
years, that despite the good showing
made last fall. Only two men VIII be
OF those can be easily filled. The abb
| sence of Decker at center VIII be felt,
and it is liable to be long While before
Gallaudet will find another man as capa-
BILE
The coaching policy at Gallaudet is
more or less uncertain. 1t had been
hoped that Crafts would take charge OF
the team again, but 1t seems that ne
Is not in q position to do so. Crafts did
some excellent work with the kendall
Green lads during the latter part OF the
schedule in 1912, and his signature to a
contract would mean that q long step
had been taken toward SUGGEST. Crafts
knows conditions at Gallaudet better
/, than any other man who could De Sc
cured. 1t Is not known who will coach.
Arras, physical director. who acted as
=. kind of an assistant under Crafts
might assume charge. but as yet nothing
DEFINITE has been done.
Moore Captains Gallaudet.
Moore will captain the team, and ne IS
logical for the place. His running OF the
| team last season was above the ordinary
and he should be better in the coming
games. Foltz and Rockwell. the other
TWO stars OF the 131" eleven, are report

hardest campaign faced by Gaiauoet
