ley Byrd, Maryland coach,
4 looking to the Yale game next
Saturday, it was the uncertain
strength of his reserve. But to-
day even this had been somewhat
dissipated and the Terrapins will
go to New Haven feeling that if
they do not win, they at least will
force the Bulldog to bare it's
fangS.
Maryland probably never has
been better prepared for a clash
with Old Eli. The squad is in
good physical trim, the morale
high and the team well fixed in
most positions.
The reserves proved their mettle in
q scrimmage yesterday with the Fort
Meade Tank squad A week previous
the Tankers had scored a touchdown
on the Terrapin Gecond-strongers, and,
everything consi6 cred, got off with an
even break
But it was far different yesterday
The Tankers couldn't score and were
forced to yield five. touchdowns.
Between now and Saturday Mary
land will concentrate on defense.
NEoRGETowN leaves today for Chi
" cago. where Loyola University will
be met Friday night. Coach Tom
Mills Is taking about IS men, but isn't
certain which will start the game.
One thing is certain. The HoyaS will
play more foot ball than they did
against Mount st. Mary's.
Mills was determined to get through
that game without disclosing more
than a few plays. Loyola scouts were
present.
Tom will shoot the works Friday
night If necessary to win.
TLOOM has settled on Brookland,
" where Catholic University's Grip
pied team is struggling to get
into some sort Of trim for Franklin and
Marshall
Capt. George Menke, guard, will be
among the several leading players on
the sidelines Saturday. Menke hurt a
leg severely in yesterdays scrimmage.
With Hugh Flynn, the Cards best
tackle also out, not much can be ex-
pected of the line.
THE biggest man to play foot ball
l. hereabout since Babe Connaugh-
ton finished at Georgetown viii
be in the American University lineup
when 1t faces Shenandoah College In
Central Stadium Saturday. Milton
Folston, 275-pounder, will play guard,
having taken the place of Fred john
son.
Coach Young, seeking offensive pow
er, has shifted johnson to left halfback.
Bill Fuchsle, regular end, also has been
switched to the backfield and Wayne
Larson, second-string end, promoted.
American University could have made
much use of Orville Targee, who was
sensational back last year. OrviIle now
is at Ohio State and will play on the
freshman team.
I'm PIxLEE won't be content until
he has found man who can han
die better than average the all-im-
portant job of fullback. Under Pixlee's
system the player who gets this berth
Will figure In one way or another in
virtually every play.
Latest to make a bid for the place is
Johnny Senlon, whose potential ability,
He is newcomer. Senlon is giving
Bugs Bagranof and Blackie Hoffman a
real run for the job.
Billy Wells has shown best at quar-
terback and Joe Carter and Lee Carlin
at the halves.
WITH Obie OBrien sent back to
Wv tackle, the Colonials' line will
average about ECO pounds-by
much the heaviest line in these parts.
Providence Colleges 12-to-6 victory
over Rutgers last Saturday boosted
George Washington's hope for a tri-
umph in its opener.
GEORGE WASHINGTON and Cath
~ Ole University may play their an
nual game November % at Griffith
Stadium at night. Anyway, Coaches
Pixlee and Bergman will get together
shortly to talk it over.
Bergman is strong for it. He saw
considerable night foot ball in the Mid
die West and thought it okay.
