TERRORS
Probable Line-Ups
BY Louis A. Dougher

Maryland University is send
ing nine former Washington
school boys into its lineup
against the formidable West
ern Maryland eleven today at
Byrd Stadium.
With the exception of Omar
Crothers, the big right guard, whose
home is in Eakton, Nd, and Gerald
snyder, the big haIfback from Wind
bee. Pa, every varsity player viii
have learned his football in the
Capital.
Charlie Dodson, former Tech star,
will start at left end. Beside him
ar left tackle will be Henry Lom-
bard, former Central player.
Arthur Wondrack, left guard.
entered Maryland from Tech.
George Madigan, center. went
from Eastern. John Mcdonald,
right tackle. played football at
Tech before going to college,
and Albert Heagy starred at
Western.
Gordon Kessler, quarterback,
played at Tech and George Roberts.
left halfback, was at Central. Julie
Radice, right halfback, is a former
Eastern lad.
Fifteen of the % players on the
first and second teams are Wash
ington boys. OF the 10 players
used last Saturday against South
Carolina, IL were former Washing
ton high school lads.
OF the seven players in the first
two elevens not from Washington,
six are from Maryland, with Snyder
the lone player from Pennsylvania.
Thus. the Maryland varsity squad is
pretty much of Washington prod
uct.
In addition, Coach Curly Byrd
r. a Washingt0nian and his as
sistant is Charlie Fenwick, who
played football at Western High
before going to Virginia where
he starred in the line. After
graduating he was Virginia's
line coach for five years and he
Is now responsible for Mary
lands forward wall.
1t is expected that most of the
second string players will see some
action tomorrow against Western
Maryland's Green Terror. That
will give six more Washington boys
opportunities of showing their class
in varsity football
William Heintz, from Eastern
High. is a guard and so is Fred
RibnitZki. from Dewitt Prep. Fred
Owens. from Western. will alternate
with Madigan at center. Owens
was with the freshmen year ago
and is showing fine improvement
this season.
Shaw Blackstone, quarterback on
the freshmen last year. may get
into action. He learned his football
az Tech and so did John Parsons,
second string fullback.
These lazy days of early
fall are not exactly lazy for the
Old Liners. As soon as dis
missed from their classes the
football players don their uni
forms are driven hard by Coach
Byrd and Charlie Fenwick.
This must be done because sci.
dom does practice begin before
O'Clock. Darkness usually
ends the workout.
Special preparation has been made
Tor Dick Harlow's Western Mary
landers. Yesterday the scrub.
using Harlow formations kept the
varsity bewildered and Coach Byrd
undoubtedly saw things he won't
Ike TO see tomorrow when the
Westminster team will be in
action.
But Maryland has an outstanding
set of forwards who should take a
lot of pounding out there at College
Park tomorrow There are no
weaklinss in that bunch and it will
take all of Bud Miller's skill TO
find weak places.
Miller Is the bright star Of
Western Maryland. He Is
quarterback of parts, a heady
field general, fine passer and
q good man running the ball.
He will be the center of at
traction tomorrow.
Yesterday only light work was on
the bill for the Old Liners. The
squad ran through all its formations
and there were special drills for
the kickers and passers.
At 1 o'clock today the football
afternoon starts with the Mary
land freshmen battling the frs
year lads from Western Maryland
The varsity game is expected to ge
under way by 2:30 o'clock.

West Virginia Wesleyan's foot
ball team has three players ma
