To meet this schedule, Vanderbilt
not only has experienced material. and
good material. but has coaching sEs-
tenn which has been in existence long
er than any other system In the south.
In fact. there are few institutions
that have kept the same foot ball
coach as long as Vanderbilt has had
Dan NcGusin. For eighteen years
the former Michigan man has directed
Nandy'S destinies on the gridiron. and
as far as foot ball is concerned prob
a6ly the school with which he is con-
nectsd would not know how to get
along without him. Several times
N1cGue!n. who is practicing law in
Nashville. has tried TO get away from
professional coaching. but always he
has been prevailed upon to stay until
shortly after his last attempt year
ago. as he expressed it. he came to the
conclusion. Il began here and guess
I'll die here"
Vanderbilt and McGugin have come
to be one in foot ball. Assisting him
McGugin will have Wallace Wade,
who was guard on the Brown Uni
versity team in 1916. which defeated
both Harvard and Yale. and Zerfoss.
Vanderbilt end for four consecutive
years.
,0eorgetOwn's Eridiron squad will
ba ready to take the field tomorrow
for its opening practice. Out for the
eleven will be nine. and to all intents
apd purposes ten. of the 1921 regu-
lars. and those who follow closely
the gridiron fortunes of the Blue and
Gray are enthusiastic over prospects
for great team. Coach Exendine is
ed injuries do not deplete the squad. |
hs will turn out 4 very formidable |
combination.
No doubt Georgetown is going to
rAss Jack McQuade from right half !
back. He was player whose alb |
ssnce from any team would be great
1N felt. A wonderful plungins back, !
MsQuade also possessed all the other |
requisites of a fine foot ball per-
former. However, King played about
at much at right end as did OCon-
neil. who started last season as a
regular. and toward the end of the
year did some brilliant work He
wRs one Of the stars of the final game
itY Coach Exendine practically has
ter regulars with whom to begin his
season.
Georgetown's line will be one OF
TIP heaviest. If not the heaviest, in
the south. In all probability 1t will
nQt fall in average very far below
20 pounds. From tackle to tackle 1t
1S<likely to average just about that.
Eniversity of Maryland is planning
toy holG two practice sessions today.
The morning is To be devoted to as

Several freshmen were out and too

of Tech. Lanigan of Business. Herzos |
of Eastern. Wilton of Central, Langel |
of Emerson Institute. Hall and Hen. !
derson. who attended Blair Academy
up in New Jersay.
Johnny Groves, fourth-year quarter /
back at the University of Maryland, |
Is one of the most versatile players
on the squad, and probably will be J
the most valuable backfield man there |
this fall. Groves has fitted in at va
rious times at fullback and halfback. |
and with the scarcity of backfield |
material at Maryland his versatility |
should make him invaluable to the |
team. incidentally, Groves Is one of |
the most capable men haRdling a for! |
ward pass Maryland has ever had. He |
has played quarterback in winning |
games over North Carolina, Virginia |
Polytechnic Institute, Rutgers, Syra- !
cuse and Hopkins. among others, |
which indicates the experience he has
had.
Al Connolly, George Washington |
tackle, is the kind of foot ball player
of whom any coach may well feel |
