Evening star., 1916-09-24

about the time for the Princeton and
Yale games. ,,,.
Dartmouth found no more trouble , .
defeating New Hampshire State than
was anticipated. It won by SO 70 u;

Bethany by 81 to 6, and Buckneli, an
other Pennsylvania eleven. scored one the
less point than d1 that schaai agdlhS' Penn @
State handed Susquehanna University
a 81 to O beating. In games In wnlcn

accuracy and are stars in the open
field McOuade particularly has a big
reputation There are many who claim
him to have been much better in prep
school than Gilroy, and a brilliant ca
reer on collegiate gridirons Is pre-
dicted for him.
Georgetown probably in it's whole
foot ball history has not had sucn a
wealth Of backfield material as Lnat
which is wearing the Blue ana cray
right now. There are almost tnIee iuii ~
sets Of backs, and every memper OF
each quartet is much moro clever tnan
the usual run Of college players In this
section. The Blue and Gray coaches
can keep fresh backs in every game
they play, which fact will add consid-
erably to the effectiveness of the team
as a whole. The value OF fresn ana
competent backs against a tired team
in the closing stages Of a contest can
not be overesttmated.
Unless some new material is found
In the freshman class Catholic unfver-
sity probably will have a hard time
developing line strong enough 70
~ ha
to be played. No matter how brilliant
the quartet behind the Brooklanders
line may be. If there is not strong
set Of forwards in front OF them they
are not going to gain much ground
against elevens like Lehigh. Vtllanova
and West Virginia University. No new
material capable Of taking the places
'of the men lost from the 1916 teams
has shown up yet.
The squad at George Washington Is
not growing as fast as might be ex-
pected. There is an apparent lassttude
among the students winch does NOT
coincide with the enthusiasm displayed
last year. A great many men who have
made good in other colleges undoubt-
edly are enrolled In the Hatchetfte in
stitution, and II they could arrange to
get out for practice the prospects Tor
a. good team would be boosted consid-
erably. While it is true that two or
three good men from other institutions
are expected to matriculate within the
next few days. they will not form
team in themselves. There will be
need Of players to fill the other posi-
tions and also dire want Of a second
eleven for scrimmage purposes. Un-
less the Students in the downtown in
stitution get out for the team in larger
number the Buff and Blue may expect
to make a sorry showing against
Georgetown Thanksgiving day. At
least that seems to be the opinion OF
many of those close to the teams af-
fairs.
The Maryland State eleven lined up in
scrimmage yesterday for the first time.
The men were given twenty minutes of
this kind of work. which constituted
practically all the practice. The line
was almost the same as that of year
ago. Axt and Rich were on the ends,
Tarbutton and Kishpaugh at guards.
Oberlin and Posey at tackles. and Co.'S
ter at center. Coster played tackle for
Western Maryland College last year.
Into. Stubs. Jones. Boone. Stevens,
Prentiss and Aitcheson also were used
in the line. Steele, Derrick. Coggins,
Michael. Smith, Murrell and Knode
were used in the backneld.
