No doubt North Carolina is putting
forth special efforts this year to beat

The Tarheels have been scouting
Maryland consistently. having watch
ed the Old Line eleven'S play much
more often than usual. North Caro-
lima not only wants to even things up,
but is not inclined to relish any
thought of defeats three years in "a
row at the hands of any team.
North Carolina has a powerful line,
Possesses n fast backfield and is eX-
ceptionally well drilled. The Fetzer
brothers, Bill and Bob, are good
coaches, have the confidence of their
men, and always turn out teams that
make the going hard for all their OPP
ponents. AS far as this week is con-
cerned, no exception is likely to be
made in the case of Maryland. If
Maryland wins from the Carolinians
for the third consecutive year it will
be only after the hardest kind of a
struggle
With the exception of cracked
ankle sustained by Herzog some time
ago in scrimmage. Maryland is in
good shape physically. 1t will also
have available for this weeks game
two backs who could not play last
week, Besley, the only experienced
back on the squad, and LinkouS, full
back. The general outlook for the
contest between the men from the
Old Line State and from North Caro-
ina is pretty much the same as it
was last year, that it Will be close
and desperately fought.
1t is doubtful if any coach in the
country has been more successful in
developing open play than Bill FetZer.
who directs the destinies Of North Car
olina'S Cridiron world. FetZer never
puts out a team that fails to feature
double and fake passes and forward
passes. In fact. the writer believes
firmly that the most perfect exhibition
of open foot bali that ever was staged
in the whole history of the sport was
given by North Carolina in Baltimore
when ii defeated Maryland. IL to :,
four years ago. What North Carolina
did not do in that game in the way
of forward passing and fake plays
was simply not worth doing. SO well
did it execute everything that it tried
that the l6-to-I score actually did not
show its real superiority.
Coach Lou Little is showing his
good sense in refusing to be dis
couraged over his teams defeat by
Bucknen. Also he is exhibiting good
judgment in letting his lineup stand,
as, by all reports, he can hardly hope
to better the combination he had
against the Pennsylvanians.
AS far as King College here Satur-
day is concerned Georgetown has no
worry King College does not have
l chance in 80 of getting away with
the long end of the score, COnSe-
quentIy the Blue and Gray can afford
to use the week in reCuperating from
the effects of it's grueling set-to of
last Saturday and in building for the
more difficult games to come, those
with Lehigh, Center, Fordham and
the Marines.
George Washington is due to face
a heavy eleven here saturday when II
stacks up against Washington Col
lege. but should win. The Ratchet
ties probably will be played hard and
will not find ground gaining so
easy, especially between the tackles.
Washington College has a big, heavy
eleven, and if it's regulars have come
through games with Lafayette and
Navy in good shape may put up
a much better game than anybody
looks for.
Quantico Marines come here to
meet Catholic University. The Mar
ines, if they had their best backs
available, would be the favorites.
Probably they will win anyway, as
they have a lire against which the
Brooklanders will have much trouble.
In fact, the Brookland eleven is
likely to find that forward wall well
nigh impregnabe. Marines, without
their array of backfeld material,
will not be the same team they were
at the beginning of the year, but even
so will present a powerful lineup. The
Marines realize-and so does George
town-that the edge would completely
be taken off their Thanksgiving day
game with Georgetown We're Catholic
University to win Saturday.
OaIlaudet goes TO AnndpoHS 10 Ddllie
ST Johns. The Annapolis school had
not been doing much until last Sat
urday, when they broke loose up at
Newark and defeated University of
Delaware, a team which previously
had held Swarthmore to 2 points.
Charley Pugh, while at Technical
High School one of the best drop
kickers ever developed in the Wash
1ngton high schools, has had little
chance to show his ability along that
line in games since he became
student at University of Maryland.
Last year he played just a little more
than a quarter against Baltimore
City College while a member of the
freshman team and kicked field goal
for the only points scored by his team.
This year, since joining the varsity
squad, he has not had the opportuni-
ties to boot field goals. When Maryland
played Rutgers Pugh was in bed with
tonsilitis, and when it met V. p. l. and
Virginia he never was anywhere with
the ball except in a sea of mud or
pool of water.
