NO COLLEGE GAME
HERE ON SATURDAY
Maryland State Only Eleven
Scheduled to Play and It
Goes to SWarthmore.
BY H. c. BYRD.

No college foot ball game is to be
played here this week. Maryland
State is the only one of the four in
situations supporting the gridiron
sport which has contest, and that is
to be played on a foreign field.
Georgetown so far has not been able
to conclude negotiations for con-
test, although it has tried to get
one of several service elevens lined up.
Maryland States squad left this
morning for Newark, Del, where it
will work out today and tomorrow
prior to going over to Philadelphia
Saturday for its game with Swarth-
more. The Marylanders will scrim-
mage this afternoon with the Della.
ware College squad and get in long
practice tomorrow on the Delaware
gridiron.
Nothing actually is known of the
Kind of team Swarthmore has. but if
It measures up to some of the rumors
that have come to State from alumni
in and around Philadelphia the Col
lege Park players are due for warm
reception Saturday afternoon. How
ever, unless Swarthmore, by reason
of having started practice much
earlier. is in considerably better con-
dition, the Maryland team should give
a pretty fair account of itself.
Unless somebody is injured in the
scrimmage at Delaware this afternoon
state will send the following lineup in
to start the game: Eppley and Riggs,
ends; Edel and Mackert, tackles; Moore
ana Sullivan, guards; Myers, center;
knode, quarterbacks; Besley and Mac
donald. halfbacks. and Snyder, fullback.
N1ne other players are to make the trip.
Or the men who will start, five are
former Washington High School players,
Myers having come from Western, Mac
donald from Central and Moore Bosley
and Snyder from Tech. Nisbet, tackle
on last years eleven, will not be in the
lineup at the beginning. but is pretty
sure to be used. He is not yet in condi-
ton to play much foot ball
While States varsity SQUAD is nm at
Swarthmore the freshman eleven will
open its season at home against the
Baltimore City College. Several former
washington High School men are promi-
nent in the lineup Of the freshmen
Collins and Latta of Central, Straughn
OF Teen and Brewer of Western will
mold regular places on the first year
combination. Latta yesterday was elect
ed captain. Straughn, while he did not
play FOOT ball at Tech. is going to de-
ne is doing now is any criterion at all
o. what may be expected Of him.
Two Independent foot ball teams are
OShSouiSu " OpeA their seasons SUM-
day. the Rex Athletic Club to meet
Fort Myer at Union Park and the
Navy Yard to play the Tank Corps of
Camp Meade at the Navy Yard recre-
alton field. Both the local elevens will
be very strong if the claims of their
supporters hold good.
Western High School will break
the ice for scholastic teams when it
meets Episcopal High School Satur-
day at Alexandria. The Red and White
hardly hopes to win. as it probably
will not have even near as good ma,
terial as the Alexandrians. Western
lost by graduation the bulk of its
1913 eleven.
With the discontinuance of foot ball
by Fordham. Georgetown lost one of
the best games on it's schedule,
finances alone being considered. At
times Georgetown has almost been
able to cover the losses on its home
games by the patronage 1t drew at
New York. e
