FIREWORKS TO Be
ON TAP SATURDAY
Plenty of Forward Passing
Is Due to Feature Two
Main Struggles.

- PECTACULAR open play doubtless
will feature the two main college
foot ball games here Saturday in
~ which West Virginia Wesleyan
will play Georgetown at Griffith
Stadium and Western Maryland will
invade College Park to meet Maryland.
West Virginia Wesleyan always has
been great forward-passing team and
this season it is no exception. Some
years back, the West Virginians heaved
their way to victory over the Blue
and Gray and again this year it figures
the aerial route Is It's one big chance
of upsetting the powerful Hilltop ma
chine.
Maryland is great advocate of the
pass as a grid weapon and Western
Maryland also is team that likes the
"air route" Dick Harlow, coach OF
and Colgate, always was Springing
G.. u. Also Can Pass.
While West Virginia Wesleyan may
bring an eleven here that can toss and
catch the aerials in approved style, 1t
Is sure to meet its match In this line
in the Georgetown team, which is more
than we'll equipped with throWers and
catchers of the foot ball.
Gallaudet and American u, which
meet in the other local battle, also are
forward passing outfits, the latter an es-
pecially light eleven. being forced to
depend mainly on the air to gain It's
ground.
Catholic u, which goes to Williams
burg. Va. to try to repeat its 12-to-0
triumph of last year over William and
Mary. and George Washington, which
goes up to Altoona. Pa, to meet st:
Francis, also will do some heaving OF
the pigskin.
Georgetown and the Western Maryland
MARYLAND games that will hold the in
terest and in which the pyrotechnics
doubtless will be more brilliant.
Preparing for an air battle Head
Coach Lou Little planned today to give
his Georgetown proteges plenty of
work with a view to perfecting a good
aerial attack for West Virginia Wes-
leyan. With John Hudak. the only
veteran back of last Falls eleven. hav-
IND been injured Monday and Eddie
O'Leary. sophomore punter and half
back. getting hurt yesterday 1t now ap-
pears certain that the Hoyas Saturday
will be depending heavily upon Johnny
Bozek, former Gonzaga athletic sensa-
ton. Bozek probably will have to not
only do Hudak's passing and ball carry
ing, but will be called on to punt In
place of Leary, who Is one OF the best
hooters on the Hilltop squad.
Georgetown may also have to get
along not only on Saturday, but the re-
mainder of the season. without the
services of John Scalzi. sophomore, who
with the veteran Duplin has been al
ternating at quarterback. Scalzi was
to undergo an examination today to
determine If he must submit to an
operation for appendicitis. Loss of
Scalzi would be a real blow to the
Hoyas.
Kelly Rodriguez, a southpaw HEAVIER,
will be on the throwing end of Wes-
leyan's passing attack. He also Is said
to be a good punter and ball carrier
Lloyd Davis, veteran. is another
clever passer to be exhibited by the
visitors. Forrest Bachtel. quarterback,
and Harold McLung. halfback, both Of
whom have played three seasons with
Wesleyan. are other dependables In the
aerial offensive.
Both Maryland and western Mary
land have displayed some fine forward
passing at times this season and each
also has shown at intervals a strong
running attack
Neither the Old Liners nor up,Staters
are especially hefty teams, and it ap-
pears that the combination which wins
is apt to do so through superior general
ship.
