word is handed down and unless the

Marines a battle. Both squads work

with the downs called just as in a
game-the kind of practice both
| needed.
Marines did not use Shapley and
Levey in the scrimmage and Mary
| land did not send in some of it's best
men, The Scrimmage gave some play
erS who have not had an opportunity
to get in the last two games chances
to do some needed playing under
game conditions.
One or two Marylanders got in who
have not been able to play for some
time, Mcdonald, who broke his arm
| last Summer. went through the whole
workout for. the first real scrimmage
he has been in this year. and Parsons,
who was bunged up two weeks ago,
also took part in the whole affair. Nc
Donald PLAYED a full quarter against
Virginia Military Institute last week
and seems to he getting in shape.
Last year it was thought that he
would make regular job on the
Maryland eleven this Fall. and would
have given somebody a battle for a
position had he not been injured in
an automobile accident in July.
Ready has the Marines working
well right now. and Catholic Univer-
sitv will have to beat a real foot ball
team, team much stronger than it
has struck so far in any college game.
He has two tackles far better than
even the good men in college ranks
in Brougher and Eigmore. Both weigh
around 200 pounds and are fast and
aggressive. Neither has whole lot
of incentive to exert himself good
deal in practice, so much better are
they than the men who oppose them.
but in a game any team that runs
over them is going to be some team.
Georgetown has an easy game Satur-
day, Waynesburgh College being sched-
uled as its opponent. The Blue and
Gray should walk away with the con-
test about as it pleases. In all prob
ability Coach Lou Little will use the
game as letdown for his varsity in
order to have the team in the best
possible shape for the game next week
with Lafayette.
Washington and Lee has in White
line plunger who is said to be just
about as capable as was Ty Rauber
last year. No team stopped Rauber in
1926 and apparently none of his oppo-
nents has stopped White, because he
is leading all the backs in all the
colleges in Virginia in touchdowns
and general scoring. Howe and White
are the big guns of the Generals back
field. and both are fast and clever.
Howe does most of the end running
and White the breaking through the
line. In SPOTS Washington and Lee
is said to have about the best end in
the South, both defensively and in
handling forward passes.
