The South Carolina squad arrived
here this morning at 1890 O'Clock.
took an hours ride around the city
and went to College Park, for lunch.
1t lis due to practice there this after
noon, after which a good rest will be
taken until time for the setto tomor-
row The squad from the Palmetto
State is in good shape and. according
TO oJimmie Driver director of athletics,
ready to put up a great battle against
any eleven.
%On a basis Of the. score we made
against Erskine College last week.
wasdo not look so strong,'' said Driv-
err. Just after his train arrived at
URion Station. but nobody need
worry about us being ready to give a
gobd account of ourselves tomorrow.
We started the game with Erkskine
with the idea of making a couple of
touchdowns and then playing on the
defensive, which we did, kicking
practically all through on first and
second downs. We could have run
up a much larger score had we been
so minded. We have a better team
than last year. team good enough
to put up a real fight against any
body. We are big and strong and
faster than usual"
Maryland Is Prepared.
No comment on the game has come
from Maryland sources. The Old
Liners have been working harder
than usual, though. for what really
amounts to an opening game, and.
while they still are rough in many
respects, should give a good account
of themselves. The squad has few
bruises, but as a whole, is in good
shape. In reality, considering the
number of rough hard scrimmages
through which the men have gone 1T
really is rather fortunate that there
are not some serious bruises and
strains.
South Carolina will start with a
line in which there is only one man
less than feet and a complete team
in (which there are only three less
than that height. 1t will have Hol-
cohnbe and Keels on ends, Wolfe and
Thbmas at tackles. Guarino and
Price at guards. Beall at center.
Wfngfield at quarter, Hiza and Zobel
at halves and Swink at full. Six
of ,the seven men in the line played
against Maryland last year and two
of the four in the backfield.
Maryland will have on the field the
same team that has been working out
at the varsity since practice was be-
gun nearly four weeks ago. Dod.
son and Young are at ends. Adams
and Zulick at tackles, Wondrack and
Crothers at guards, Bafford at cen
ter, Kessler at quarter. Thomas and
Snyder at halves. and Linkous at full.
Nine of these eleven played in at least
part of the game with South Caro-
lima. year ago and eight or them
started it.
AS far as physical qualifications are
concerned, both teams are strong
enough, and what they accomplish in
comparison will be due to cleverness,
accuracy with which their plays are
run off and general versatility. The
two teams ought to put UP one Of the
best games of the year.
GEORGETOWN Is not likely TO en-
counter a whole lot of difhculty get
ting away with it's game with Susque-
hanna, unless the Pennsylvania eleven
is much better than usual. In no re-
cent year has that institution turned
out team comparable to the Blue
md Gray, and. while it is said that
Georgetown may not be strong this
FaA. that statement probably is based
onia comparison Of Georgetown with
this Georgetown of the last three sea
sons. AS a matter Of fact, George.
town is strong, and will give any team
It faces all that is looked for in the
way of opposition.
Catholic University expects to de-
feat Mount st. Mary's and its expecta.
tions probably will be, fulfilled. Mount
St. Mary's sometimes comes down
from the western part OF Maryland
with a good foot ball team, but it will
have to be good IL it hopes to win
from the combination that represents
the Brooklanders this year.
Not much has been said Of George
Washington this Fall, less than usual,
in fact, and good deal OF interest
will be shown in the result of tomor-
rows contest at New York. The team
leaves here this afternoon for the
game with City College and expects to
win.
Maryland is no: the only school in
the South Atlantic section due for
real struggle tomorrow. Virginia,
Washington and Lee, North Carolina
University, North Carolina State Col
1ege and Virginia Military Institute
all are due to have their troubles. ,
Nobody figures for an instant that
Virginia is going to have an easy time
down in Athens against Georgia. and
the same idea holds good for Wash
ington and Lee against West Virginia
North Carolina took good beating at
the hands OF Tennessee year ago,
and figures 1t is again up against
team just as strong. Going farther
S0Hth with Virginia are Virginia Mill
tarf Institute and North Carolina
Stale, the former to meet Georgia
Tedn and the latter to play Furman
University, and those two teams are
Mt easy picking at any time.
Special interest will attach to the
games of the two Virginia teams
against the two Georgia elevens. Vir.
Sinia against Georgia and V. M. I.
against Tech should give a good COM
pafison on the relative merits of foot
bah in this section and farther South.
The chances seem good that the ac-
vantage may rest with the farther
South teams
1t is doubtful IL so early in the year
there has ever before been such an
