INJURIES HURT
MARYLAND'S
CHANCE
Virginia Tech Brings Back
triumphant Gridiron Line.
up Of 1923

Minus four Of its frat string
backs but full OF fight. Maryland
University win encounter one OF its
toughest gridiron foes Of the
season. Virginia Tech, in Central
stadium tomorrow.
Ed Pugh. Kirk Besloy, Downey
Osborne and Ed Tenney, Maryland
backfield dependabIes, are on the
sideiines. Pugh fractured several
ribs when Maryland fell before
Washington and Lee in the open
ing game.
Besley recently wrenched a knee
and Osborne and Tenney were hurt
yesterday scrimmaging against the
Third Corps Area team. Osborne
has a wrenched knee and Tenney
q twisted ankle.
Virginia Tech trimmed Maryland
a year ago and the Old Line eleven
had hoped this year to reverse the
decision in the annual contest
injuries have left Maryland, on the
eve or battle, in precarious shape.
On the other hand, Virginia Tech
is primed perfectly for, the fray.
The triumphant 1898 eleven practi-
cally Is intact. The few newcomers
are said to be equally as capable as
the men whom they replaced.
Virginia Tech will place a team
on the field, averaging 173 pounds
in weight Its backfield is rather
light, averaging 157 pounds. The
tine from end to end viii average
1872 pounds.
There will be no marked differ
ence between this outlay OF beef
and Maryland's.
Virginia Tech employed short
pass effectively against Maryland
a year ago and this style Of play
was used with success by Maryland
In its last game, with Richmond
College, which was an easy victim.
The following lineup, including
weights, 1t is announced, will start
Tor Virginia Tech: Greene, 1875, and
Bailey, 16S, ends; Graham (captain),
lis, and Liebrecht, 1S2, tackles;
Frey, l9S. and Ray, 16s, guards;
Roberts, 140, quarter; Rutherford,
lao, and Esleecl, 10, i1alfbacks,
and De La Barre, $50, or Moss, 40,
eullback.
It Is probable that MARYLAND will
call on George Heinie, Alvin Parker
and Irving Hall to carry the burden
OF bacAfield duty, with the fourth
man to be selected from several
candidates. Maryland Is hoping to
use Osborne. Besley and Downey in
at least & portion Of the game.

RocIxne keeps in closer touch
with every one Of the, vast squad
of players ont for his team than
is to be observed at any other
college I'M the country.
The class system he uses in
grading his players, from the
varsity combination down to the
least Important Of 400, more or
less, who came out for the game,
gives every man his chance. And
1t is a tradition at Notre Dame
that anyone who shows class is
not long in getting to the top.
An instance Of this took place
recently. One of the reserves,
O'Boyle, a halfback, has advanced
into the select society immediately.
below the Big -Four, Crowley, Lay
den, Stuhldreher and Don Miller,
. A. week ago O'Boyle was just
one Of many backs. In the st.
Viator game he displayed certain
knowledge of what it was all about.
O'Boyle was not told, and will not
be told that he played {. whale Of

Rockne, like many other coaches,
Tad Jones Of Yale among them,
doesn't praise his men. It doesn't

o'Boyle'ss rise from the scrubs,
reserves, or whatever name Notre
Dame has for the downtrodden and
oppressed liopefuls, who help make
varsity holiday every day, was
rather rapid. The tumble of a
worthy varsity man would be just
as rapid for some infraction OF the
rules. Every one of the 400 at
Notre Dame knows that. That's
why 400 are out, though fifteen or
twenty at most are all that will
