Thursday, according to an announce
ment made by Comdr. Jones H. Ingram
director of athletics. However, the
squad will not get down to serious work
until next Monday, originally named
as the day for the formal beginning OF
preliminary work.
The decision to start on Thursday
came as a result of the decision made

At least in the backfield Maryland Is
likely to be compelled to depend In no
small measure on the men who come
from the 1928 freshman elevent. The
main task will be to find two men ca
pable of filling Kessler's shoes at quar-
ter and Snyder's at full, and to ma
a good running mate for Augie Roberts
at one of the halfback positions. Evans,
who played quarter, with Kessler,
Radice, Roberts and Warcholy, who was
used in the same position with Snyder,
are the backs on hand with varsity ex-
perience.
While there is no telling what foot
ball season may bring forth, 1t now
seems that at least four Of the local
colleges ought to have elevens just
about as good as last seasons. This
apparently is true of Georgetown and
Catholic University and will be true OF
George Washington and Maryland, II
the latter can find men to I'LL KeSslers

Detroit University, Haskell, Oklahoma
City University, Wabash, Hastings,
Nebraska, University Of North Dakota
and Loyola at New Orleans. In add
ton to several ,Midwestern high schools,
will play more than one game after
dark
Justifications for the change are many,
but 1t all comes down in the final analy-
sis To- the desire to draw more specta-
tors to the games. The fact that so
many institutions are to play under
the electric light projectors indicates
that gate receipts have shown an in
crease at night games. Whether this
is because of novelty, or Is due, as
claimed, to the fact that many who
love foot ball and are obliged to work
On Saturday afternoons eagerly avail
themselves of the opportunity to 60
to the games, the writer does not know.
It is said that q foot ball field properly
illuminated gives the effect Of huge
stage, and q virtue OF the departure Is
said to lie in the fact that just as q
theater audience has its eyes drawn
instinctively to the lighted stage while
it sits In darkness, so a foot ball crowds
attention is never distracted from the
gridiron
Lighting such q field as the Drake
Stadium is accomplished in this way:
A string Of 50-foot light poles are set 20
feet from the side lines on either side
Of the gridiron. Ten huge projectors
are placed on each side, every one
equipped with two 1,000-watt lamps
Thus 10000 watts of electricity play
over the field from these 20 giant pro-
jectors. Any glare is prevented by the
scientific crossing Of the light rays,
whose scientific blending prevents
shadows. Players profess to notice no
difference between night and day foot
ball so far as vision Is concerned. while

has Jop cut out Tor him. He does
1t, too.
Let us look into one Of Rockne's
pet plays today, a play with ire
mendous power and quite enough
deception In it to fool the smartest
of defensive teams. First note the
lineup. A balanced line with the
ends a yard each from their tackles.
Back No. 3 is 3Ia yards and back
No. 4, yards back of the line.
The ball is snapped to No. back.
No. / turns his back to the defense
and makes a fake of handing the
ball to No. 8. No. 3 fakes hitting the
line inside the defensive left tackle.
That invariably draws the defensive
fullback to him. Nothing Is easier
in foot bail than to dispose of a
defensive player who is after you.
SO, No. 8 takes out the defensive full
after crossing the line.
Meantime No. l, still hiding the
ball, takes a step to the side and
passes 1t to No. 4, who tears through
the line inside end and then swerves
to the left as shown. The reason
for this cut-in is apparent when you
note that linemen Nos. 5, and z
have gone through and cut down the
opposing backs.
