Maryland Squad Assemblies.
Coach Jack Faber Of the Maryland
squad got his players together today
at College Park to renew practice for
the play-of. However, most Of the Old
Line broke training after the Hopkins
contest and it is almost certain that the
12 cannot return to its best form by
Saturday.
1t is felt at Maryland that Mount
Washington, an aggregation of stars,
mostly former college celebrities. should
be the favorite, with either Navy or
Army as second choice, due to the
fact that the service players always are
in training and also have two weeks
in which to comeback. In this respect,
the draw certainly favors the Cadets
and Middies.

Thus, in the second round, on June

favored, Navy will meet the winner of
the Observation-Disclosures clash, while Army
will oppose the victor of the contest be-
tween Mount Washington and Johns

Failure OF Army and Navy to reach a
decision In their game at West Point
