Evening star., 1925-12-13

r the first time in years.
The team is due 10 enter its initial
engagement on September %, and Will
play through November 25. the 1926
Turkey day. New names on the
Maryland book are Chicago and South
Carolina The clash with the Maroon
will take place in Chicago on October
g, and will be the first a MARYLAND
eleven has ever played in the Middle
West. 1t probably will inaugurate
series of annual contests with some
team of the Western Conference.
Will Tackle Gamecociss.
Maryland has encountered South
Carolina in base ball and basket ball,
and has been quite successful in both
these sports in battles with the
Gamecocks. but heretofore 1t has not
been able to arrange a foot bali date
with them. The gridiron tilt next Fail
will take place in Columbia, the home
of the South Carolina institution, on
October >.
In recent years South Carolina has
been quite a factor in Southern foot
ball. Under the direction Of Branch
Bocock, former foot ball star at
Georgetown. the Gamecocks have de-
veloped powerful elevens. The team
was strong this year, and with many
of the 1925 veterans remaining to
form a nucleus for the new combina-
ton, there should be a fine team at
Columbia next Fall.
For the first time in some years
the Old Liners will be pitted against
Randolph-Ma and Gallaudet. The
Randolph Macon game is scheduled
the same day as the match with Eir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute, due to
some mutual date shifting by several
teams that Maryland might continue
the annual tTi-game arrangement with
Virginia and North Carolina. The
Ashlanders are to play at College
Park, while V. p. I. Will be met at
Norfolk
If possible the Randolph Macon
game will be advanced to October a.,
but in any event both will be played.
go to Norfolk TO tackle the Gobblers,
and a reserve squad Will be sent
against the Ashland outfit.
Time was when the game with
Gallaudet was considered one of the
important matches on the Maryland
schedule. Since the war. however,
Maryland has made considerable
progress in the sport, while Gallaudet
! has not been so formidable. But,
backed by tradition, the renewal likely
will prove quite interesting.
The Old Dominion probably will
| keep the Old Liners toiling on the
gridiron. In addition to Randolph
Macon, three Virginia teams will
strive to topple Maryland and all will
| be OF major class in the South. Uni
versity of Virginia, Washington and
| Lee and V. p. I. are elevens that will
give any outfit deal of trouble.
Yale Game Retained
| The Marylanders, of course. have
retained the Yale game. Although
always beaten by the Ellis. the Col
lege Parkers generally have made the
opposition realize 1t is in a foot ball
contest. North Carolina, too, is rated
as one of Maryland's most important
foes and the clash with the Tarheels
is becoming one of the classics OF
Dixie
The College Park campaign will
be opened at home against Washing
| ton College of Chestertown. Md, and
will close in Baltimore on Thankksgiv
ing day when the Marylanders' an
cient rival Johns Hopkins, Will be
met.
Ten members of the 1925 squad at
Maryland will be lost through gradua
ton in June. They are Beatty and
Supplee. regular ends, and the latter
an All-Southern team choice; Brom-
icy udIu, bSSiSN, llhllbdChr w alGI
Bonnet and Lanigan, who were regu-
lars at the outset of the season; and
Seth, forwards, and Parker and TroX-
ell, backs.
However, prospects are that plenty
Of material will be at hand for the
formation of a team next Fall. The
veterans due to return to college are
capable and the freshman class of this
year will send many good gridders to
the squad.
