Practically on the eve of

Saturday Maryland has suf-
fered q blow where she can

This blow Is the loss OF Charley
Dodson, made-over end, who was
shaking good In the backfield in
such 4 way that this weakness
was being materially bolstered.
All season long Coach Curley
Byrd has been kept shuffling his
backfieId In hopes Of strengthen.
anr ii both extensively and defen-
miVely. Two weeks ago when he
pulled Dodson hack from end to 9
haifback role he thought he had
nade move In the right direction,
passing were all that could be de-
hired. The recurrence OK an old les
injury has forced Dodson to turn IN
nfp suit, ana now Coach Byrd must
start reshuffling all over.
From alI indications It win either
a. Riil Evans or Paul Cronin,
sophomore. who win take over
Dodson's berth. II Evans gains the
cell Shorty Chalmers will call
che signals. Charley Miller is 9
clTich to occupy the other halfbask
while either Julie Radioe or May

Aackfieid to replace Dodson. y
