Georgetown and Maryland have just
.-ehout selected the teams that will
represent them in their opening foot
hall games on local fields tomorrow.
The Blue and Gray is to open with
three of last years regulars sitting
on the bench. while Maryland expects
10 start with the eleven men it picked
as varsity two weeks ago and from
which so far there has been no change.
Nork. ONeil and Mosko are the
men who did some brilliant work a
year ago as members of the George
town varsity. but whose performances
this FAN in practice have been so dis
appointing that Coach Lou Little has
decided to let them grace the bench
in the opening game. Nork and O'Neil
held down backfield jobs in 1926. and
tire former generally has been regard
cd as the best back on the Blue and
GRAY field this season. Mosko is an
exceptionally good tackle.
Georgetown is to start its first game
with Munson and Tomaini on ends.
Mooney and Sauer at tackles. Carroll
and Codozano guards. Grigsby center.
McCabe quarter. Duplin and Hudak
halves. and Barabas at fullback. This
probably is not the best team that Lou
Little could put on the field, but ii is
best spirit in practice and the George
town coach is firm believer in giving
the men who do show a good spirit a
fair chance to make good.
a victory by a good margin is eX-
peCted at Georgetown. Lenoir Rhyme.
ordinarily would not be considered
strong enough TO do more than pro-
vide a good field day for one of Little's
teams, and probably tomorrow night
will so back to Carolina without any
thing especial added to it's laurels.
Maryland will have on the field
against Washington College Of the
IL men who were regulars last sea.
son. and with any kind of breaks will
be tough team to face.
The Old Liners ought to emerge
from their game with Washington on
College with the long end of the count,
though the Eastern Shore eleven has
at times put up Unexpectedly strong
games.
Dodson and Young are to start the
game at ends, Zulick and Adams at
tackles, Crothers and either Wondrack
or Keenan, at guards, Bafford at cen
ter. Thomas and Snyder at halves,
Linkous at full and kessler at quarter.
Dodson. Young, Adams, Wondracx,
kessler and Thomas are former Wash
lnston high school men.
The main problem of the Maryland
squad right now seems to be at the
ends. where there is practically no ex.
perience. Leatherman, who held down
a place at right end last season. is not
playing foot ball this year. Dodson,
Young. Heagy and Lombard are show.
ing best in the flank jobs. Heagv
right now is standing as the best Of
the quartet.
While Maryland opens with a line
up with which it started practice two
weeks ago. indicating that its team is
we'll settled, It is a fact that several
of the men now in the first string are
hanging to their jobs only by the skin
of their teeth. Some of the men who
will get chance to play tomorrow
may show better form than some Of
those who are slated to get their
names in the lineup at the beginning.
The Maryland game will start at 3
o'clock, while the Georgetown game
will begin an hour earlier.
Maryland players and followers will
watch with good deal of interest the
result of the game South Carolina
plays tomorrow at Columbia with
Erskine College. South Carolina plays
at College Park next week, and last
year Maryland took 12-to-0 beating
at Columbia at the hands or that
school, At that time Maryland felt it
had a fair chance to win, and the
12-to-0 score against it did not set so
very well.
South Carolina has back nine of
the regulars who played last year and
expects the most experienced eleven
in its history. The two men lost by
graduation were exceptionally clever
fellows, being among the best in the
South in their positions-Rogers at
quarter and Boyd at center-and If
they are replaced by men as capable
as they We're the Gamecocks will be
extremely fortunate.
South Carolina has a back by the
name of Wimberly who is just as good
as any running back in the South.
He weighs around 175 pounds and is
about as fast as the average track
man. With that, he can dodge. 1t
