and there's every possibility Of one
or two OF these youngsters flashing
to the limelight later on.
Line Is Big Bother.
Hardell is most bothered with his
line, though. Warren Spencer, a for
mer Techite, has the job of building
a first defense. His coaching was
a big factor in the line that Tech
presented in the series last year.
Geottleman, Young, Roger, Reidsel,
Minnicks. Pugh, Rice. Mcdonald and
Jett are among the leading prospects.
Robby Pugh, by the way, is the last
of the House of Pugh." Three of
the Pugh boys-Ed, Jim and Charley
made foot ball history at Tech. 1t
is up to Robby to carry on. But for
his lack of weight Robby certainly
would be given first choice at center.
He may play regularly at that.
Any way you figure it out, Tech
has job on its hands this year, and
if it cops again, Coach Hardell will
have achieved a remarkable feat
Alexandria Highs eleven planned to
scrimmage McDermott's AllStar team
today at Hayden Field. The Virginia
youngsters were sent through an
arduous drill yesterday with the reg
ulars and scrubs as opponents. Alex

if it turns out a team anywhere near

shift in Laurels racing dates should
Washington win the American League
pennant, according to track officials

With the Laurel meeting not OPEN

Little is known of til S,tual team
strength of Washington College, but
it is known that the Eastern Shore
school has some brilliant individuals
in its lineup. Cavanaugh is as good
a back as there is on any eleven in
Maryland and one of the best kickerS
in the South. The center trio in the
line are gifted with plenty of weight,
and one of them was picked as the
best guard in Maryland. One guard
weighs 207, the center 203 and the
other guard $50. The 320-pounder.
keenan,, probably is the biggest man
playing foot ball today.
Maryland will have against Wash
ington College a team made up al
most entire from its second string
and varsity material of a year ago.
If Hough and Burger start the con-
test, six of the seven forwards who
went through last season as regulars
will be on the field. One of the 1928
forwards, though, Hall, is due to
start in the backfield, his place being
taken either by Luckey or Bonnet,
both of whom held down Halls place
in the line at various times. Besley
at quarter and Pugh and Osborn at
halfbackS Will be the other three
starting members of the quartet be-
hind the line. Pugh and Osborn held
down jobs behind the line during the
entire game against Yale last No
vember
The George Washington Blue Ridge
game is TO start at 2:30, and the
Maryland W aShington College con-
test will begin at o'clock.
Big elevens in the North. Middle
West and Far West begin to get in

Bonaventure, Dartmouth with Nor
wich, Pittsburgh with Grove City,
Syracuse with Hobart. West Virginia
with West Virginia Wesleyan. Wash
ington and Jefferson with Geneva,
Pennsylvania with Ursinus. Penn
State with Lebanon Valley are some
of the games in which the stronger
elevens of the last few years inaugu-
rate their schedules. West Virginia
has been sending out some real bear
stories about its condition for the
West Virginia Wesleyan game, but
aside from that no other of the
stronger class is making any bones
about expecting to do anything but
clean up.

Santa Clara and the latter with
Willamette.
In Virginia and North arolina
the North Carolina state College
seems to be about the only school
that claims TO have a hard game
on it's hands for it's opening. The
Raleigh eleven is frankly afraid of
the Trinity team. coached by Howard
Jones, although when the final show
down comes tomorrow afternoon 1t
is likely that the Raleigh aggrega-
tion will not be scored on, at least
not through straight foot ball play.
Last year North Carolina State had
good enough material to clean up,
but failed to make the showing it
should have. University of North
Carolina has Wake Forest for its
first game and may not win as easily
as North Carolina State. And, of
course. it is not beyond the realm
of possibility that both North Caro-
lima and North Carolina State may
have their hands full.

HOW ABOUT
LENDING A HAND ?
By w. K. S..

The people Of a community want
to see local news in a paper. They
want to see peoples names in print
and see just what is going on tere
and there. We we're brought here
to try our hand at writing local
stories; but before we can write To-
Gals we must find something Of To-
cal interest to write about.
1t is impossible for us to be Every
where at once and we want our
friends to help US in getting things
in the paper that would be of inter
est to the community If you hear
anything and you think it's worth
relating to a friend then nine chan
ces out of ten its news.
Last week there were several
large fires on the outskirts Of the
city. We did not hear of them till
three days later Friends whom
we called on the day after the fires
knew all about them but when W.
asked if they had little news fol
US they replied that they didn't
know a thing.
Lets all get together into one
big family Of reporters, when YOU
hear something let me in on it wEe1
call on you during the day, Or il
| happen to miss you give the cut
a telephone call at 80, then we vii
have plenty Of news for the people
Of the community about the people
and the community. Thanks.
