COACH FEARS
SMALLER
RIVALS
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
1t will be an imposing football
herd that Dick Harlow, head
coach at Western Maryland Col
lege, will drive into action against
the Baltimore University eleven in
Baltimore on the night Of Oc-
tober 8. The Green Terrors''
look impressive and, as Coach
Harlow says, win give any team
a real struggle.
The Westminster aggregation
should have a backfield as strong,
If not better, than last years
There is a chance that Harold
Hoppe, a bruising 185-pound
sophomore fullback. will edge his
way into a varsity berth.
Hoppe looks the part of a first
rate footha1ler and hasn't paid
any attention to the battering
received in scrimmage, although
Harlow has temporarily discon-
tinued scrimmages so his disabled
players can. recover.
Steese Brubaker is another
sophomore who has caught
the eye of Coach Harlow.
This chap, though a half
back, may fill the vacant end
position with Capt. Paul
Bates, who. starred in the
GEORGETOWN game last fall, on
the other termiySl.
Although eight veterans of the
unbeaten 1929 squad have, de-
parted, there remains II players
who were regulars or desirable
reserve talent last year, so Coach
Harlow needs only draw upon
his 1929 freshmen.
Those who will be missing are
Charlie Havens, center: Alex Ole
air, tackle; Pete Gomask, halfback:
Jap Weisback. guard; Ted Klepac,
halfback, and Baker and Pelton,
ends. Among the holdovers, be-
sides Captain Bates, are George
Ekaitis, Clary, Karl Wellinger
Harry Lawrence. Goose Doughty,
Carl Jones and Harry Bolton,
backfield men; George Wallace
Gordon Lamb, Harry Benson
Tiny Pincura, Walter Kohout
Norman Barnett, Walter Wilker
and Hammill linemen.
George Ekaitis. who also has a
reputation as a boxer, VIII direct
the team as quarterback.
Harlow intimates his team is
weak at one end and at center
where Havens held forth so val.
iantly for three years. Still
Gordon Lamb did a good Job
when playing his first varsity
game against Maryland last De
cember. -
"We'I get along o. k. If we
don't have any injuries" says
Coach Harlow. I'VE figure
to have an even chance
against such teams as George
town, Maryland and the Ma
rines, but we're going to get a
beating from unexpected quar-
tiers this year.

known teams on our schedule.
The hardest games we had
last year were. against Al
bright, st. Thomas and st.
Vincent while the best played
games were against George
town and Temple.
"SOme have accused us Of
Vnkks.o- ,,~~ s1ACf MT ST
Mary's when we barely won,
60. l sweated blood during
that game and we came out
of it lucky
"And let me say If we have
to lose three games this year
/ hope one is to Mt. st.
Mary's. Reds Malloy over
there at Emmitsburg, Nd, is
one swell fellow"
Western Maryland will attempt
to run its string Of victories to
81 straight by the end Of the
current season. The Western
Maryland lads haven't lost since
taking a 1876 setback from Mary
land in October of 1928, and have
collected II wins in a row since
AS the Green Terrors idle to
morrow, Coach Harlow may cal
off practice for the day, and
bring his team down here to see
the Georgetown-Mt. st. Mary's
game in the Griffith Stadium
The Terrors are to later play
Georgetown and Mt. st. Mary's
and the information thus gath
ered will prove valuable.
Dick Rauch, line coach: Neil
Stanley, end coach, and Barney
Speir. freshman coach, are assist
ing Harlow. Raueh played under
Harlow when he tutored Penn
State, and was later assistant
coach to Harlow at Colgate. Speil
is also the graduate manager Of
athletics at Western Maryland.
