M. s. OFF TO YALE
TOMORROW NIGHT
MaryIanders Likely to Start
Hardest Game of Year
Without Regular Tackles.
By H. c. BYRD.

| Maryland States foot ball squad
leaves tomorrow night for New
Haven, where, it is reported, the Yale
eleven is being especially groomed to
| run up a big count. What Yale does
not plan to do to the Marylanders is
not much, if reports be true, as all
the cripples are, to use the expression
which came down from the Connectf-
cut town, "f1ocking back into the
lineup"
At that, Yale will have better
chance to run up a score on the
Marylanders than any other team
they have faced, because the latter
probably will go into the game minus
both tackles. 1t seems that Mackert
and Nisbet sustained more or
pounding from the big '. +. l. Dat tiss
last week than was evident from the
sidelines, as both are suffering from
badly bruised legs. Nisbet has a bad
charleyhorse and Mackert a swollen
knee. 1t is hoped that both will be in
shape by Saturday. but such pros
pect is very, doubtful.
The other members of the squad
seem to be in good shape. with the
exception of holster. Buchheister.
who sustained a broken floating rib
in the West Virginia game, is out at
practice and showing no ill effects
ankle is not mending as rapidly as
was expected. If State Is lucky
enough not to sustain any minor in
juries against Yale. next week should
find the entire squad in good condition.
A squad of.nineteen or twenty State
players will leave here tomorrow night
at o'clock. They are due to get IN
New Haven early Friday morning. A
practice session will be held some
time during the afternoon, after which
the squad will rest until it faces the
Dark Blue for the first time.
Georgetown anticipates no trouble
here with Delaware College on Satur-
day, but it does look for considera Bile
opposition the following week, No
vember 8, when it journeys to An
napolis to face the Navy. The Blue
and Gray had rather beat the Middies
than any other eleven on it's schedule,
and year after year 1t bends every
effort to do so. However, even with
great teams. it seems that George
town encounters some kind of hoo
doc every time it ventures on the
gridiron at the government institu-
ton. The game this fall should de-
velop some fine foot ball, with both
teams using about the same style OF
play. Navy undoubtedly will attempt
to do what other teams nave Done
hammer Georgetown's line. However.
some hard work is to be done between
now and November s with those Blue
and Gray forwards.
Weakness in the line is the one
thing unexpected at Georgetown
When the Blue and Gray squad went
out early in the fall it was about the
finest looking aggregation that ever
wore the colors. Especially were
there many big, rangy linemen, and
it was believed that the team would
be especially strong in that depart

since leaving the Army that featured
their play before they became MEM
bers of Uncle Sans forces.
Catholic University and Gallaudet
are putting in hard ticks in prepara-
ton for their meeting at Brookland
Saturday. A member of the c. q.
eleven said yesterday that the squad
seems to be better than the average,
good team is being developed. Here
was that players opinion:
"Muhlenberg was lucky to beat US.
We had carried the ball down to
within Is yards of its goal line. when it
intercepted a forward pass and ran
berg's other touchdown was made
when one of our marches toward its
goal was interrupted by a tumble
which was picked up by a Mullen
berg player and resulted In score.
Our squad is rather light. but we
have a good foot ball team. Our ends
are especially good and I think you
can bank on it that the teams we
play during the remainder of the sea-
son are going to get some real bat
ties"
One of the big games in the south
Atlantic section this week is to be
played between the Virginia Poly
technic Institute and Washington and
Lee University at Roanoke. The two
teams seem fairly evenly matched and
defeated the Lexington eleven last
year by IA to 0.
