Maryland at College Park. The Tar
heels plan a light workout today, and
seem confident that they are stronger
than the Old Liners. Susquehanna
University comes down tomorrow morn
ing for its contest with Georgetown al
the ball park, and Catholic University
and American University are getting
ready on their own fields for their meet
ing at Brookland.
North Carolina, according to those
that have watched it play and are
familia with its makeup, has about
the strongest eleven in its history, and
at the same time one of the strong
est in the South. According to reports
from Chapel Hill, about the only thing
that has been troubling the coaches is
the possibility of overconfldence
Coaches all week have been admonish-
ing the players about that danger, al
though when team gets to be as
strong as North Carolina is there is not
much use to try to keep the players
from knowing it.
Carolina Undoubtedly Good.
But at this particular time there is
not much doubt about the TarheelS
being good Wake Forest, according to
report, has Just about the same kind Of
q team that whipped North Carolina
for four consecutive seasons, yet North
Carolina is enough stronger this Fall
than in previous seasons to wipe up the
gridiron and then dust it of with the
Baptists to the tune of 65 to 0, the big
gest score ever run up by Carolina
eleven.
Athletic Director Bob Fetzer and
Head Coach Chuck Collins have little
to say about the game. They seem to
feel that they have stronger team
than Maryland and should win, but
have back in their minds the belief
that their team possibly might not be
at its best. They know that the team
was great against Wake Forest and went
better than any North Carolina team
ever has gone so early in the season,
and the coaches think that their flu
ture lies in just keeping up their pres
ent gait.
The Tarheels have big powerful
line and a backfield far faster than the
average quartet. 1t depends on an Of
Tense that it p radically the Notre
Dame offense without the backf1eld
shift. The ends make the shift as
Rockne teaches it, but the backs do
not. The forward passing system is good
as are the general running plays. Yes
terday in scrimmage against the Varsity
at College Park the Maryland Fresh
man, using North Carolina plays, made
two touchdowns and if plays imper-
fectly learned are so successful then
they should be 10 times more success
full as the equipment of team for
weeks drilled in their use.
Maryland Lists Local Boys.
Maryland will oppose North Carolina
with team made up in large part of
former Washington High School play
ers. Both ends played on local high
school fields, Dodscn at Tech and
Heagy at Western. Two of the three
tackles to be used got their training
here, Mcdonald at Tech and Lombard
at Central Of the three guards certain
to get in the game Wondrack is from
Tech and Heinz from Eastern. Madigan
end Owens, centers are from Eastern
and Western, and of the four backs who
will begin the game Evans is from Bust
ness, Roberts from Central and KeSsler
from Tech.
Just how strong Maryland is will not
be known until after tomorrow's game.
In many respects the team has a lot
of potential ability 1t lost heavily
last year through graduation, four line
men and four men it depended on most
for backfleld gains having finished
The team is not as heavy as 1T was a
year ago and not as experienced, but
ought to be able to give e good &C
count of itself. The contest with
North Carolina tomorrow ought to be
a real battle.
The Maryland-North Carolina con-
test will be one of four big games here
this year. The other three fall on
November II and November "a, two
on November IT between Georgetown
and West Virginia and Virginia and
MARYLAND, with Washington and Lee
and Maryland on November "a. Other
games to be played undoubtedly VIII
be real foot ball battles, but no other
contests at this time seem to be any,
where near as important, generally as
these. Georgetown takes part in three
other big games, Carnegie Tech, Ford
ham and New York University but all
are on foreign fields.
Georgetown Probable Winner.
Georgetown ought not to have much
aificulty in beating Susquehanna Uni
Versity. The Blue and Gray is so much
stronger, apparently, than the type Of
team the Pennsylvanians usually pre-
sent that the game itself is likely to
be little more than a good factor in
fhe DEVELOPMENT process Georgetown is
using to get in shape for the big games
on its schedule, those with New York
University. Carnegie Tech, Fordham
and West Virginia. The West Virginia
game is the only one listed here, that
being booked November II as the an
nual home coming affair.
of course, it is possible that Susque-
hanna may bring down peIIer Loo G
ball team than anybody expecIs aho
give Georgetown quite Strugge, oHO
not probable. The Blue and Gray prop
ablv will win by four or five toucn-
downs without much difficulty. Last
year GEORGETOWN won the game oy 81
10 0. -, ,,,;,,
Catholic University probably Will van
from erican University. The
Brooklanders took a good beating az
Boston last week, but will be against a
far different team tomorrow. Inc
Methodists do not have line as gooo
rs that which wears the colors OF the
Brooklanders, which is likely 10 give
the brilliant Catholic University backs
all the opportunity they need, to run
their way for long and consistent gains
Play on Foreign Fieid@
Gallaudet and George Washington
hlay on foreign fields. The Kendall
I5reeners go to Philadelphia to meet
Temple University, and are likely &c

Temple may have one of the hes,
elevens in the East this season. Gal
lauoet will be against real team ano
will be lucky if it gets away with a low
score.
George Washington goes to New York
to meet Fordham minus the back who

team. Ivan Stehman failed to do as well

will not be able to repeat their victory
