authorities today announced that
they had closed for q fooCl,sll
series Of games with Vanderbilt,
the first game taking place on
November 20 at Nashville, Tenn,
and the Commodores visiting here
in 1881. This gives Maryland a
difficult 12.gaIne schedule. van
derbilt defeated Maryland, 1920,
In 1927 at Nashville in the last
game between the two.
Maryland will probably play
Vanderbilt either in this city or
Collepn Park on the first Satur.
day in November Of next year.
Dan McGugin, veteran football
coach Of Vandy. had been in
town for the last few days and
held several conferences with
Curley Byrd, the Maryland
athletic chief. McOugin was first
awaiting the outcome of the set
tlement on the .Maryland-Navy
game. When this matter was
ironed yesterday, it appeared that
Nc cGugin couldn't book Maryland.
Vanderbilt was placed in
o tough hole because Of the
severance Of relations with
Sewanee and lacked q game
to close the 1880 football
campaign. McGugin ex-
planned the situation to Byrd,
who despite the fact that it
would give him three hard
games in eight days, gladly
agreed to meet Vanderbilt
on November 20.
Uniquely, McGugin and Byrd
are the two oldest coaches in
point Of service in the Southern
Conference. McGugin has been
at the helm at Vanderbilt for the
last 80 years while Byrd came to
Maryland in the fall Of 1912.
So, Maryland viii be playing
Navy, Johns Hopkins and Van
derbilt within the span of eight
days. And that isn't all, either.
Consider the long jump from
Baltimore on Thanksgiving Day.
where Johns Hopkins will be met
that day, to Nashville on Satur-
day. A special train will be ready
at the Baltimore and Ohio sta
tion in Baltimore and will leave
when the Hopkins battle is over,
arriving in Nashville at o'clock
on Friday.
And a glance at Maryland's
1880 program reveals that the
Old Liners are facing a hard
road, especially from October 25
when v. M. l.. Virginia, Washing
ton and Lee. Virginia Poly. Navy,
Johns Hopkins. Vanderbilt and
Western Maryland will be met in
order.
Washington and Lee returns to
the Maryland schedule after a
years absence. The College Park
ers beat the Generals. 6 to 0,
when they last met in 1928 at
the Clark Griffith Stadium.
Maryland and Navy are
meeting again for the first
time since 1917, when the
Midshipmen smOthered Cur.
ley Byrd's eleven, 62 to 0.
The year previous Maryland
held q powerful Navy team
to . 14-tO-7 score.
Maryland and Navy have
clashed in six other games. The
first occurred in 1897 when
MARYLAND was then the "Marv.
land AggieS." The Navy team
won that meeting hands down by
the score of 80 to 0. The two
next met in 1905. with the Navy
coming out on top. II to 0.
Maryland's best performance
against q Navy eleven was in
1905 when the count resulted in
12-to-12 deadlock. The Navy
won, IL to 0, in 1907, and 81 to
0 in 1908.
One of the worst defeats ever
suffered by a Maryland team was
76-O licking administered by
Navy in 1918. and it marked Cur.
ley Byrd'S second year Of coach.
