Maryland to BE Stronger.
University of Maryland will have a
better eleven than wore its colors
last year and so will North Carolina
State College. Maryland loses sew
oral good men, but with the material
it will have from the freshman squad
and from the substitutes of 1922, 1t
should be better off despite some ap-
parently big gaps to be filled.
North Carolina State had power
full outfit in 1922, which needed only
a little more experience to be real
foot ball team. In fact, physically 1t
is probable that North Carolina State
had the best squad of all the schools
in the south Atlantic states.
Washington and Lee people seem

school, but they thought the same
way about the base ball team last
spring, and 1t turned out to be the
hest they had in many years. AS
matter Of fact Washington and Lee
had a good eleven and will have back
the majority of those men. While its

G. L. Should he Capable.
Georgetown should not expect its
team this year to attain any such
heights as it did against Lafayette
in that post-season game, but in all
probability throughout the season
will make just as good a record as

Gallaudet also has high hopes of a

University of Richmond, William
and Mary, Davidson. Trinity and
Roanoke have been coming fast in
foot ball, especially Richmond and
Trinity. Richmond particularly had
\ a fine eleven in 1922, and is said to
have prospects of one just as good
for the three months which follow
August.
Hopkins Building Up Team.
Johns Hopkins is making great eff
forts to build up an eleven this year
which can wipe up to the dirt with
the University of Maryland and then
polish off" the performance by kick
ing the dirt away. Hopkins will have
on the field practically every member
of the squad which wore it's colors
through very successful schedule
in 1922, and it is reported that several
: scholastic stars are due to enter the
Baltimore institution who will bolster
UP the squad considerably.
Incidentally, the south Atlantic
section will be noted for more worth
while games this year than usual.
