Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-10-29


Rather strange to say, both have
been out of the game not because of
injuries received in foot ball but on
account of hurts sustained in a train
wreck on the way from Quantico to
Washington. The only other man on
the car In which McQuade and Pugh
were riding was killed.
The Marine team has a line that is
second to none in the South. In fact
1t is doubtful if there is another line
in the South that will measure up TO
it. From end to end, 1t is heavy.
fast, versatile and experienced. 1t Is
this line which Catholic |. Is likely
to find as its real stumbling block.
The Brooklanders have a good set OF
forwards, but without the experience
of the men who wear the Marine
colors.
Take the Marine tackles. for in

Virginia Military Institute was rated
the best in the South. Burger, who
has been alternating at left tackle
with Wigmore, was fine player IN
the position for four years at Mary
land, and fine player against such
elevens as Rutgers, Syracuse, Yale,
Pennsylvania and the best teams In
the south Atlantic section. Wlgmore,
the other tackle, is an enlisted man,
but was described by Liversedge, line
coach and former California star, as
the greatest tackle I've ever seen in
all my foot ball experience
Catholic Us defeat by four touch
downs at Camp Benning was some
thing of a surprise. 1t was thought

King College will come here 'primed
for the supreme effort of its foot ball
season." says press notice which
comes from Bristol. Va, home of that
school, But to make any kind of a
showing against Georgetown it will
have to bring a real load in it's gun
instead of printing. Printing is not
going to accomplish much unless
there is something inside to go off
with a bang when the printing is
touched off, Probably the statement
made in that press notice just about

The Blue and Gray is not INDUCING
in any hocus pocus about expecting
King to give 1t a terrible rub with
the possibility of defeat. 1t is speak
ing the truth in saying that it ex-
poets to win and that all the doubt
1t has In mind is how much it will
win by.
Chester Adams, coach of the King
College eleven, got his experience at
the University of Maryland, having
been guard and fullback on teams
there in 1909 and 1910.
George Washington and University
OF Maryland engaged in an hours
scrimmage yesterday in preparation
for their games this week with Wash
fngton College and North Carolina,
the first mentioned to play here and
the latter at Baltimore.
The HatChetiteS should win from
Washington College, despite the fact
that they will be against one of the
heaviest elevens in the country.
Washington College will bring here a
team averaging about 100 pounds.
which is some average for a small
college team.
No doubt George Washington will
be considerably outweighed. but in
speed and generally versatile play it
is much the superior. Washington
College has in Cavanaugh, quarter
back, an exceptional performer, who
can throw, run, punt and dropkick.
The Eastern Shoremen also have good
tackles, and good tackles and good
quarterback go a long way toward
making a good foot ball team.
From a physical standpoint, Mary
land probably is in better shape to
face North Carolina than it has been
for any game since it opened the sea-
son, whatever may the outcome.
Besley. the only experienced back on
the squad, is in good shape again
and so is Pugh. who has been out as
result Of bad case of tonsilitis two
weeks ago.
Bromley has a slightly bruised Shout
der. but not sufficiently SO to keep
him on the sidelines. and Linkous a
