ARYLAND would rather
I'M face Albie Booth, who
1 ' i connected to fame last year,
than Chick McLennan
when the Terrapins battle Yale
Saturday at New Haven.
The chance is both of these
splendid ball carriers will be shot
into the fray.
Maryland's board of strategy,
consisting mainly of Head Coach
Bryd, figures the Old Liners would
have better chance of stopping
Booth, who is back to his normal
weight of $50 pounds, than Nc
Lehman, who not only is big, but
fast and smart.
1t will be remembered that Harvard
held Able at bay last year and that
McLennan, who relieved the little back,
gained constantly.
But Booth and McLennan are not
all to be reckoned with behind the Bull
dog line. It is said Yale has two COM
plete backfields almost on a par with its
great collection of 1928, that included
Mallory, Stevens, Richeson and Nealle,
Pond, Neidlinger, Cole, Cote and
Bench.
John McEwan, former Army coach
has been quoted to the effect that Yale
had backs on its bench that year to
whom West Point would have erected
monuments.
DUT now, as then, Maryland goes to
ID New Haven anything but awed. In
1928 the Terrapins held the Bull
dogs to 1914 score.
Last year neither Booth nor McLen-
nan were able to run wild against
Maryland as the score Of 1918 would
indicate.
Coach Nal Stevens of Yale isn't sure
which of his backfields is the better, If
indeed they are not of equal strength.
he calls one the Booth backficld and the
other the McLennan. Teamed with
Booth are Austen, Dunn and Muhlfeld
and with McLennan are Snead, Taylor
and Parker.

Evans started his first game for
Maryland when he led the Old Liners
TO a 6-to-0 victory over Yale In 1928,
and last year he was a telling factor
in the 13-to-13 deadlock with the Bull
dogs.
