The longest and most successful
trip over taken by a Southern foot
l'all team was that a wear ago when
Ala bama went to the West Coast and
defeated the University of Washing
ton. That trip undoubtedly proved a
stimulus to Southern foot ball and
raised It considerably in the estima-
tion Of critics of other sections.
1t is hoped that some team will
establish for the South just the same
kind of supremacy this season. and
certainly with all the games that are
listed it is not unreasonable to hope
make the right kind of shoWings.
1t is entirely too early to begin to. line
up the various squads as they will
meet the strenuous tests that lie be-
fore the schools in this immediate
section, but it does seem. if
reports may be taken at face value,
that generally foot ball in the South
Atlantic institutions is going to De

of the schools report lack Of material
for certain positions, but. North
Carolina excepted. not one has indi
Gated that it expects a weaker COM
bination than represented it year
ago.
Virginia claims to have the best
bacllfield material it has had in uni
form in many a day. Two full sets
Of backs and two or three extra are

Field who would grace almost any
eleven. Among them is Daniels. one
Of the biggest backs in the South.
He weighs more than 200 and stands
around feet inches. He used to

and discus at Episcopal High School
Daniels played fullback on the fresh

One man lost by Washington and
Lee by graduation last Spring is 60
ing to be missed more than anybody
might think. Notwithstanding he was
the smallest player on the squad.
That man was Wilson, who held
down the quarterback job for years.
Wilson was handspring Of the Wash
ington and Lee attack. mainly be-
cause he could pass brilliantly. run
with tho ball fairly well, and use eX-
cellent idgment in directing the play
of his team.
Georgetown has about determined

game. With two weeks of work at
Asbury Park. y. J., behind him. Lou
Little can give q fairly good idea of
who will he used TO make mp the team,
at least AZ the beginning Of the year
Carl Waite and FRANKIE McGrath. the
latter the captain. are certain Of the
end positions. Mosko and Sauer. tack
les a wear ago. are back in their regu-
lar positions and il is doubtful if any
other man will he able to beat them
out. MunNon and Carroll are the best
available men for guards. and both a~e
playing their first year GriCshy. who
did so well at center last season. is
again the main pivot player. Scott
and Thompson have the call for the
halfhacll positions. Nork for fUllback
and Gormeley for quarterback.
Coach Little is pleased over the re
suits of practice so far. judged by his
statement in A telegram 10 the writer
Yesterday. What he says probably
putSt the situation IN the best light.
"Prospects for the coming year de
pend solely on how the backfeld goes
under fire. The loss of lIagerty.
Plansky and Metzger is felt keenly
each day The line is shaping up in
great style. Munson and Carroll look
like real finds for the guard positions,
while Jerry Thompson is the class OF
the backfleld He is the fastest man
on the squad and a shifty and elusive
runner with the ball. IF the backs
come through | expect n great season,
but the reserve material is nowhere
near the class of last year.
Out at the University of Maryland
the end problem is most hothersome.
Right now the outlook for good
1ankers is just about as bright as
Dante's at certain stages of his
tourney Only one man is in the
squad who has held down the position
in foot ball game. and unless some
decided improvement is shown before
ihe season begins the team will have
more troubles than il cares for. Lack
of speed and stiffness is the main
fault of those being tried in these
positions. IT was the intention last
Spring TO shift one or two backs to
play end, but losses have prevented
that.
