MD. j. PRIMES
FOR TARHEELS

Starting this afternoon three
tough days of drilling were ahead
of the Maryland football players,
who will meet the powerful North
Carolina eleven in Byrd Stadium at
College Park, Saturday at 2:3O
o'clock.
North Carolina will bring one OF
the greatest teams in history to
College Park. as the 65 to defeat
of Wake Forest last Saturday will
attest. This tied the record score
of a North Carolina team, the Tar
heels having beaten the Richmond
Medicos by the same figures in 1914.
Coach Curley Byrd of the Old
Liners believes he will have a good
chance against the Tarheels If he
can keep his leading players in
trim for the game and from injury
during the combat with the Caro-
linjanS

TO date manageF Hugg1ns OF the
Tanks has prescribed merely per-
functory practice for his crippled
players, being unwilling to risk a
further epidemic of injuries. and the
Cards have shown little more activ-
ity.
While a few hardy souls are ex-
pected to start standing in line this
evening to obtain choice seats on
general admission tickets, just to
keep up the good old traditions. there
will be no necessity for an overnight
wait in New york this year.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-10-03

However, he possesses no
such reserve power as boosted
by the Tarheels, and unless he
can keep his first stringers In
the battle, he will be decidedly
up against it.
Byrd, who has not definitely
selected his first team, is perfecting
the teamwork of the eleven that
showed a fine flash Of power last
Saturday, and he should have Il
smooth going combination to throw
against the Tarheels. He also will
give lot of attention to the
promising reserve players.
Maryland's meeting with North
Carolina. which is Southern Con-
ference contest, will be the first
big clash of the season here and a
large crowd is expected to journey
to College Park. With the new
stands, nearly 5000 now can be
seated in Byrd Stadium. Tickets
were placed on sale at Spaulding' S
today.
