There is q strong prospect
that Yale may visit here in
1880 for a football game with
Maryland University, athletic
officials lat College Park
having extended an invitation
to the Els to play in the
Nation s Capital the year after
next.
The invitation was forwarded
weeks before Maryland's 60 victory
over Yale, end it was first intended
that Yale come here in 1923. How
ever. when the Yale schedule was
published. II disclosed that the
Bulldogs were going down to
Athens, Ga. to oppose Georgia Uni
versity. Yale, Of course, Wouldn't
make two Southern trips.
yves, we have invited Yale to
visit here in 1880, stated Head
Coach and Athletic Director
CVrrIey Byrd. s'The Yale an
thorities have not acted upon
the Invitation as yet. SO cant
saw what are our chances Of
bringing the Ellis here. However.
relations between Maryland and
Yale are cordial and, perhaps,

victory on Saturday, they may
agree to come down to Wash.

JubiIant at their splendid
victory over Yale. the Mary.
landers should not regard the
Cavaliers as easy picking. and
Coach Byrd will probably guard
against any 0vcrcOnfidence. A
warm rivalry has grown be-
tween Virginia and Maryland
and the Charlottesville gridders
are intent upon beating the
Terrapins.
Maryland's win over Yale was no

that Bill Evans, who subbed at quar-

have a way of coming back strongly
after defeat and 1t is coincidence
that West Virginia eleven was the
victim of an infatuated Blue and
Gray club last year
