MARYLAND CONTEST

LEXINC1C24, va, Ocsober S5.-
Although the corps of cadets will not
attend the v. M. I.-Maryland game at
Richmond Saturday, large crowd Of
Lexington supporters of the Flying
Squadron e sure tn be on hand.
Since the Cadets downed Virginia
while the Old Liners were whipping the
strong Western Maryland eleven, 1t Is
more than ever evident that Tate
Park will be the scene of another one
of the tight, hard-fought games that
have featured the v. M. maryland
series.
v. M. I. has the greatest respect for
Augie Roberts and Snitz Snyder, Mary
lands backfield luminaries, and the
ball toting, heaving. and booting Of Alb
Barnes, Slick Harner, AL Hawkins and
Bernard McCray doubtless will give
Curly Byrds cohorts something to think
about.
In spite of the hashiness of both
sets of backs, however, this years tussle
may resolve itself into battle Of
forwards. Both are fine combinations.
