The Maryland Agricultural College foot
ball squad will start practice tomorrow
All the old men and some of the new
ones expected have been notified to re-
port for the first workout. Answers
have been received from several. and 1t
is thought that those who have not been
heard from will answer in person.
There is every reason to believe that
the Farmers will have the largest squad
they have ever placed on a foot ball field.
Practically the whole of the 1872 aggre-
CATION will be i'll uniform again and there
were several in school at that time who
gave it stheir intention to play foot ball
this year Besides these. there will be
ten or twelve new men ready for work.
The old men who are sure TO return are
Coster. Williams, Pennington and john

Huntemann. tackles; Day and Smith
guards: Aitcheson, center: Shipley and
Knode, quarterbacks; Morris. Loomis and
Hoffecker, halfbacks. and Ruff and Nc
Bierney, fullbacks.
The three center men may not return.
1t is certain that Koehler, who gradu-
ated, will not be back, but high hopes
are entertained that White and Wilson,
/ the regular guards in 1912. will re-enter
school for two years more. These two
boys finished two-year agricultural
! courses last spring, and they stated at
the time that it was their intention to
return this fall and take the four-year
course, so that they could graduate Bow
land and Hindman were the regular
tackles, end really the best linemen in
The schco!, but much is looked for in
Huntemanf and Posey. Aitcheson should
become an even better center than
koehler. provided, of course, he is used
in that position. 1t is not likely that
Country Morris, captain. viii be used
chances will be taken with him until his
knee is entirely well. LOOMS, Run and
Hoffecker should all show better form
than last fall, when they played some
very clever games Few better ground
gamers are found in the smaller col
leges than Ruff and Hoffecker. Shipley
and Knode, the two quarterbacks, should
at least hold their own with any against
whom they may play.
Just how good the new men will be is
questionable. coleman and Montgomery
of Technical High should be pretty fair
material. as should be Bopst, the star
| halfback Of the Frederick High School
Whether any of these will be able to beat
out one OF the veterans for a regular
place remains to be seen.

be allowed to practice foot ball before
Monday. All are being depended upon
by the American Security and Trust
Company to go to Richmond Saturday

II they fooled around for two days with
foot ball base ball would look about
the size of a bean to them. For that rea-
son they will not be asked TO put on a
foot ball suit until Monday
GeorgetoWn's squad began to grow
with yesterdays practice. and within -
! few days it should be about as large as
any the Hilltoppers have had. Twenty

number exceeding by fifteen that which
reported for the first work Monday.
