THE Full TEAM RETURNS

Gsllaudet has by far the best prospect,
Of any Of the local colleges for the l9Il
football season. The Buf and Blue out
ht will return to school INTACT. not a man
leaving college. In this way, Coach
Craft WIN be able to get the jump on the
other elevens.s
Craft win have to spend but little tim.
In the rudiments Of the game, as the men
nave played together for two years. He
VII be called upon to do but little work
.n regards to plays. for the early part of
.ne season, as weeks practice will fit
tne team with the plays used during the
lsis season. Then, the Buzz and Blue
eleven will be given a series of new
FORMATIONS and trick plays, which, Coach
Craft figures, win make them unbeatable
among the secondary college teams.

u is understood that several good foot

nations next fall Is a foregone concIu-
sion.
Georgetown will have another xood

the Hilltoppers will be represented ne1t

Catholic Universfty.
The football situation at Catholic Uni
versity still remains unsettled. II is
known that a change In the coaching
system Is sure to take place. but who
VIII be appointed is hard to say
Last fall there was some good material
al Catholic University, but there was al
ways something lacking. The Red and
Black aggregation managed to win one
game, but at that the team should have
landed couple more games
Next fall there will be plenty Of ma
teriai at the Brookland institution, and.
with a good coach, the Red and Black
should have a fairly good season.
Coach Byrd Will have a much better
team at NJ. A c. next fall than last
year. This is a settled fact He will not
be handicapped by a captain who va.
injured throughout the season, unable
to play, and he will be able to build up
his entire team.
Last fall Byrd worked his team. all the
team, with the impression that he would
be able to use Capt. Morris in the big
games. but this was found to be impos-
sible- Then Byrd was forced to shift his
back field again.
Had he developed another back-neld
man at the beginning of the season.
with the idea Of playing him throughout
the series. the Maryland Aggies would
have made much better showing.
1t Is planned to stage the annual Mary
land Aggies-Gallaudet contest here in
II this is the case, the
local fans will have chance TO witness
one of the hardest-fought football games
ever played, as the rivalry between
these two institutions is very pointed.
