AFRESHMAN TEAM
MaryIanders Already Have
Four Games Arranged for
First Year Eleven.
BY HI. C, BYRD.

Maryland State plans a six-game
schedule for a freshman eleven this
fall. Freshmen will be eligible for
great many foot ball players in that
class who are not quite good enough
to make the varsity squad. and it is
for the benefit of these that a strictly
Freshman team is to be maintained.
Four games of the schedule already
have been arranged and two more are
wanted. The freshman eleven will
open it's season October 4, with Balti-

tutions, especially Harvard, If press
a march" on it in the matter of foot
ball practice. Yale is to begin work
the first of next week, while Harvard
already has had a squad practiclng
for ten days.
Princeton is about the only big
university that is not lamenting over
possible lack of material for its
eleven. One cannot help admire the
attitude at Princeton, which is to go
through it's year in sports, say moth
ing, and let results speak for them
selves.
Glascott may be the only pre-war
veteran out for Catholic University's
foot ball team this fall He is d
halfback and much better than the
ordinary player.
Pat Rooney, who played a stellar
game at end for c. U. In 1915, will

play. About three weeks ago Pat

the fracture will heal in time for
him to get on the gridiron.
walls are coming from the Pitts
burgh foot ball camp over the dire
possibilities of the coming season.
And that with DeHart. Morrow and
Hastings back from the great 1915
eleven. Those three men, with Davies,
form an Incompatible back field and
a team in themselves with all West
virginia's boosted back field stars, 1t
probably will not have near SO
capable quartet as that which is
to represent Pittsburgh.
Johns Hopkins University began
foot ball practice Monday. Elmer
Jones, captain and fullback on the
team, is said to have hurt his shoulder
in the first days workout. Jones
always has a very bad shoulder until
the State game Thanksgiving day, and
then some kind of a miraculous heal
ing process takes place. Anyway, it
usually is all right
The star of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute eleven is a man with one
hand missing. His name Is Crisp and
he is being banked on to furnish ABOUT
half the offensive drive in the Blacks
burg back field this fall. Crisp, besides
being foot ball star is one o. .ne
best sprinters in the South Atlantlc
section and is star basket ball play
er and a base ball pitcher. The
strange part of Crisp's pitching IS
that he was right-handed before hav-
ing his hand cut off. and since that

star basket ball player and base pail

Downes is a big fellow. fast and pos
