sspefeat the Maryland Aggies!" This
is the slogan of the Gallaudet football
players who will assemble at Kendall
Green shortly under the leadership of
Captain Foltz. the crack end of last
years successful eleven, which was
coached by Fritz Crafts. former George
Washington star halfback.
From the time the candidates are
called until the last minute Of the
fourth quarter on November p. when
the Aggies are tackled at College Park
every effort will be bent toward getting
ahead of the Agricultural College.
Gallaudet will shape its team with the
sole purpose of getting even for that
I3-to-7 score in favor of the Aggies last
year, when, with any sort Of luck, the
Buff and Blue players would have come
through with a win.
1t is a bit early to know just what
will be available for the Kendall Green
eleven this year. The coaching policy
has as yet been undetermined, al
though it is rumored that Hip" Dugan
will take charge Of the team this year.
Prospects Not Bright.
At the start of the sea:on last year.
Gallaudet had anything but bright
prospects, although when the call for
candidates went out every man in
college came out for the team. Some
thing like th!rty-five in number re-
sponded to Coach Crafts and with
the spirit manifested right at the
jump, the plucky Gallaudet team put
out Al eleven which reflected credit
or the institution and coach.
In the first contest V. NJ. l. defeated
the Buff and Blue by % to 6. The fact
that the team was able at all to score
on the eleven which trimmed the Uni
versity of Virginia, failing to allow
the Orange and Blue to cross it's goal
line, was an achievement to be proud
of. Baltimore City College was de-
feated by 3S to % in the next engage
ment while the Norfolk Blues were
trounced by % to 0, Billy Sitterding's
clever being handily defeated in this
engagement. Washington College got
away with the long end of a 33 to 13
score, the Kendall Greeners suffering
trip on the way to Chestertown.
NIryland Agricultural College won
the annual battle by 13 to Z in one of
the most grueling of games which
was allowed to run overtime on ac-
count of an error in timing. This,
the team is not forgetting in its work
this year, and ii is almost safe to
predict that no opportunity will again
be given to allow mistakes of the kind
to again happen. The season was
closed with a brilliant victory over
Johns Hopkins by 16 to Il
This season Manager Patterson has
gotten together an attractive list of
games which will try out the team
from every angle of the game. Right
at the jump off the Buff and Blue will
be called upon to meet the Washington
and Lee team at Lexington. Jim Reilly,
who is field coach at the Naval Acad-
emy, left a team at Lexington last fall
which was reputed one of the strongest
in the section. Miles, Miller, and Raj
ferty shone prominently. and will prob
ably be back. The date of this contest
Is October 4.
Plays At Richmond.
Richmond College is to be met at
Richmond on the following Saturday,
and the Virginia State championship
is likely 10 prove a worthy foe. On the
following Saturday, October Is. the Bal
timore City College team is met In the
first home engagement. Following this
the sturdy Rock Hill College team is
played at Kendall Green.
Western Maryland finds a place on the
Gallaudet schedule this season for the
first time in many years. On Noyem-
Der the team is to be taken to Raleig h,
where il Will meet Thompson's Wake
Forest eleven. The former Carolina A.
and NJ. player has succeeded in getting
a great eleven at Wake Forest, and
the team last seas delivered the goods
in approved style.
Hopkins is off the schedule this season
the managers falllng TO get together 1nr
satisfactory date, and while George
Washington was scheduled for November
IA, 1t is likely that the Buff and Blue
manager will get some other engage
ment On November % the annual NJ
A. c. game is played.
Several members Of last years eleven
will be on hand at the start of the cam
paign. Folz. Kendall, Classen. Rockwell
Moore, Kelly, Marshall and Rasmussen
are being counted upon to return as the
backbone of the team to be shaped to
beat NJ. A. c. this season.
