teams are commencing to take den-
mite form

n Eastern Plays Tomorrow.
" Tomorrow afternoon Eastern goes
to- College Park to stack up against
the freshmen of the University OF
Maryland Because of the over
shadowing interest in the varsity
the suburban institution has not
yet gotten its yearlings in proper
shape. so the principal interest Will
be in the amount OF progress East
ern has made since Friday. On Sat
day Eastern made its bow by scor-
ing two touchdowns TO st. Johns
Colleges one. In addition to the
pair of scores the Capitol Killers
upon three occasions seemed to be
on the way to further touchdowns.
but each time St. Johns stiffened
sufficiently to turn them back.
Eastern is making an effort to get
offensive Strength by swinging eX-
perienced t)rwards into the back
field and tomorrow a good test will
be offered. as the Maryland first
year men are expected to consid-
erably outweigh their opponents.
whnk lacking sufficient power sto
finish in front in the championship
race last fall, Eastern had one Of
the best balanced outfits in the
league and this time Coach Guyon
is expected to bring to scratch a
team that will cut a decided figure
in the eliminatiOns.
Tech Opens on Friday.
Friday afternoon will find Tech
meeting Swavely's (fOrmerly Army
and Navy PrepJ School at Potomac
Park. Tech has been favored by a
LARGE array Of talent and Coach Ap-
pie has had difficulty In deciding
upon his hest players. but IN their
first preliminary meeting the
Manual Trainers should be able to
win. as Frank Newberry, the old
Lafayette star. who is coaching out
Connecticut avenue way. has been
richest-Iin material.
No matter what the relative
strength or the teams might have
been. Tech and Central have al
ways drawn the greatest thronEs
I" their annual clash, and this time,
as last year. the capacity of the
stadium Will be tested when they
take the field on November Z, the
new date which was forced on the
schools by the scheduling of the
Penn Stste-Navy game on the day
originally decided upon.
After the meeting with Tech,
SwSvClry's will probably limit it's
teams to games with preparatory
schools. the schedule already cah-
ing fer contests with Tome InSti-
tute, Severn School and ST. Mary's.
