DEVIL DOGS BOAST
OF STAR GR|DDERS
win Send Powerful Eleven
Against Western Maryland
on Saturday.


Maryland College and the Marines
Saturday night at the Grifnth
Stadium. western Maryland is
to bring here one Of the strong
est elevens in the East and Ma
rines probably will come pretty
close to doing likewise. Big, ex-
perienced and fast are both
squads, and well coached, and
when two such squads meet 1t
is O case Of steel against steel,
with the figurative sparks sure
to ny.
Dick Harlow, undoubtedly one of the
best coaches In the country, viii bring
to washington o team 30 good that 1t
does not seem to be good. In other
words. Il does things so easily that or
dinarfly dificsllt accomplishments on
eridiron are turned into comparatively
simple performances. Western Mary
land seems not to be doing much when
Il u playing. It appears just . little
eoIorless, but only because 1t Is 50 en-
cient. no much of q machine, that II
makes hard tasks seem easy.
with such an eleven, made up OF big,
strong men, exceptionally well coached,
western Maryland makes few mistakes
and makes the most Of Its opportunities.
It goes along for awhile, playing nne
defensive game, then suddenly gets
break, or rather by its own gooo WORK
makes q break, and then drives home
q score. Against Georgetown, for In
stance. Western Maryland got only two
chances for scores, and 1t made good
on both Of them.
Has Speed and Power.
western Maryland also has speed as
well as power. It's backfield Is heavy
and Is q strong, hard-running combi-
nation. but it also has in Wellinger
and Clary two fast, clever. dodging
backs who are likely to slip through
ana "eo to glory" any time they get
an opening wide enough fora man to
pass.
TO oppose Western Maryland. Ma
rines have team composed partly OF
privates and 0n-cpmmissi0ned men
from the ranks and several officers who
have played either at the Naval Acad--
envy or in college. And no one should
have any doubt about the Marines be-
ing strong. The powerful Boston Col
1ege team is the only one that has
scored on the Marines this Fall, and in
that game, which Boston College won
by Is to 2, play was SO even that the
winners got four first downs and the
Marines three. @
Joe Bauer, the best back the Navy
had last year, Is the main cog in the
Marines backfield. And Bauer can 60,
NJ Pennsylvania, Princeton and some
of the other universities against which
he has played can well testify. Bauer
u well over 8 feet and weighs more
than $50 pounds. Is fast and can dodge,
ms well as strike hard against q line.
O'Neil, another former Navy back, Is
with the Marines, and Whitley" Lloyd,
former star back and end at the Navy,
also g playing both backfield and end.
Lloyd 10 o bigger and faster man than
Bauer.
AEafines' Lima Streng.
Ths Marines line, from tackle TO
tackle, possibly may not be as good as
. that which wears Western Maryland
I colorH, although the Marine forwards
hare more experienced. However, II there
Ms any margin one way or another, 1t
Ms very slight. That the Marines for
ward wan 10 not easy to penetrate is
shown BY the fact that It has been

Sdowns were registered against 1t.
Tom Ready, well known to foot ball
amen everywhere, also knows foot ball,
6hnd knows how to teach 1t. He has
1coached college elevens for years and
kthey have been uniformly successful.
ALSO his Marine teams have attained
hrnusaial success. having had only one
bad year, and only because the material

kcoach could have done much with It.
keady has ranked for years among the
<country's best foot ball teachers.
UT A indeed unusual that people get
Il an opportunity TO see in the same
week end two such games as the
GEORGETOWN Michigan State and Ma
sines-Western Maryland games promise
70 be. Both should develop something
Of almost everything there is in foot
ball. Good kicking, good passing. fine
charging and blocking, hard line drives
by big heavy backs, and brilliant dodg-
ing runs IN the open field should be
shown by all four teams, and when
shown In competition on the same field,
there can be only one results great

not be taken by Virginia alumni,
nor by anybody else. IS an indication
Of Virginia's strength. Against Ken

throughout.
The only near regular who started
was Beury and he probably was used

Beury was a fine back at Woodbury.
