Curly Byrd, heading his gang
of Maryland University athletes
up to New Haven this week
end, is just about stalking the
Eastern champions of 1928 in
their very own den, for the
Eli looks better as the Satur-
days fly past, despite the fact
they got away to a poor start
by taking it on the chin at
the, hands of Georgia.
Little fault can be found
with the progress Tad Jones
had made with Yale since that
early season setback. Often it
does a team good to be set
down for the count, for there
is nothing more beneficial for
teams which are really good
than to realize they can and
have been beaten. 1t keeps
them from becoming over
confident.
Yale is one Of the spots
which Maryland looks forward
to annually, not because its
chances are very frequently con-
sidered propitious to win, but
because Of the splendid relation
ship in athletics which has
sprung up between this north
ern-most Southern Conference
team and the former member
of the Big Three.
Season after season the Old
Liners return from New Haven
with glowing stories of keen
craftsmanship and this year
bids to be no exception. What
ever may be the score, each
team goes into this game as if
something of value in football
experience and contact were GO
ing to result. Contrary to many
games of the coming Saturday,
this one will be no breather for
either team.
With two backs like Caldwell
and Decker and a first line of
defense which stumped even the
formidable Dartmouth attack,
Yale has something of a lofty
standard to show Curly Byrd's
boys. And too, in Augie Rob-
erts, Maryland has a sample
of Southern football class which
should delight the Yale eyes if
and when he gets his hands on
the ball and perchance away to
a long run. He was one of the
real sources of consolation to
Byrd in the w. l.. game last
week and will be given plenty OF
opportunity to star next Satur-
day.
Navy has started to distri-
butte it's half of the Polo
Ground tiohets for the game
with Army. No athletic event
the year around, and this in
cludes the world series, brings
out the demand for standing,
sitting, STOPPING or just plain
squirting space. Of this service
contest. The dear public has
little chance at this game unless
it has friends in the Army
or Navy.
Here in Washington the
pressure Tor these tickets is
already beginning to make it
self felt. In the clubs and
around the h~tel Hobbies one
ever hears the inquiry, "Where
can get a couple Of paste
boards for the Polo Grounds
November 27?" and the re-
sultant blank stares which
abound are a caution. To
make matters worse. each
branch of tn service is get
