Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-09-07

off for their first foot ball
workouts today will be made
up largely of veteran material.
The Buff and Blue has back Is
letter men, while Maryland, in
actual numbers, loses only two of
its 1880 regulars. This would
seem to indicate that both uni
versities ought to have elevens at
least as strong as those turned out
last season. And, as a matter of
fact. it would not be a surprise to
see both have stronger ones.
George Washington plans to take its
squad to Camp Let's today, but may
not begin actual practice until tomor-
row. Maryland is to issue uniforms
and begin practice at 1890 in the
morning, and will have second prac-
tice in the afternoon. Both squads are
likely to get two workouts a day dur
ing the two weeks Of preseason prac-
tice.
THERE is strong probability that
j. George Washington's backfleld will
be exactly what it was at times last
season, Fenlon, Carlin, Carter and
krimmelmeyer. This combination will
average more than ITO pounds, IS ex-
perienced and fast. All four are ex-
pected to be better than they were
during 1880.
The Colonials have five letter men
for the end positions, Mulvey, Galloway,
Chambers, Helvestine and Lannan. OF
these, Chambers probably is the best.
Four letter men will be out for the
tackle jobs in the persons Of Hale,
is the only letter guard who will be
with the squad, while Brown is the one
letter man for center. However, it Is
more than likely that the center job
will be filled by Frank Blackstone, who
used to. play at Central High and later
at Princeton.
1t is said IL foot ball men have en-
tered George Washington from junior
colleges, and that of these IL, five or
six are good enough gridironers to war
rant belief that they may give some
of the varsity players from last year
real battles for their Jobs. One Of the
best men who have a chance to break
into the lineup as a regular Is Buck
Jones, 195-pound fullback, who is said
to be some pumpkins at toting a pig
skin, as well as in blocking and tackling
and all the other more or less Incl
dental features that make up a really
fine foot ball player.
NNE thing in which the University of
~ Maryland will be much improved is
In end material. Last season
whenever one of the regular ends went
out of the game it was a case of just
hope that the other teams quarterback
would not take too much notice of 1t.
In addition to the regular pair, PeaSe
and Norris. there will be available Ben
ner and Buscher from the freshman
team and Hines, an end of the 1929
freshman eleven, who did not play last
year because of an attack of Appendix
citis. Rooney, Of whom considerable
was expected this year, will not be able
TO play because OF an operation he had
last Spring.
The two men lost by Maryland are
Evans and Fisher. Fisher held down
the right tackles job in company with
Keenan,, who will be back, while Evans
Wed with Poppelman in the quarter
backs position. Faber at center, Hay
den and Krajcovic at guards, Carliss
at tackle are the other regular linemen
due to report. Duley, tackle, and Koelle,
guard, also played considerable foot ball
last Fall, as did Mitchell as center.
Faber and Hayden, however, sustained
injuries In lacrosse last Spring which
may prevent them being as effective as
they should.
IN the backfleld the Old Liners start
i with four men who played together
considerable part of the time last
year-Berger, Poppelman, Woods and
Chalmers. May, Settino, Cronin and
Herman also got in many of the games
Buck Miller, regular in 1929, who was
kept out large part of last year be-
cause Of a bad knee, If he is in shape
will give the team an excellent punter.
Eighteen members of last years fresh
man team are to report with the var
Bity tomorrow, but most Of them have
had too little experience to do much
this Fall. OF these, it seems that Knott
and Sothoron, backs, and Vincent and
Shinn, tackle and guard, and Benner
and Buscher, ends, are the most prom
Using.
Maryland is beginning something of
n new policy for it this year. as it plans
to organize "B" team. 1t will carry
q squad large enough to divide into a
varsity and a "B" squad. The "B"
squad has games arranged with the
Georgetown freshmen, Western Mary
land freshmen and Catholic University
sEeshmen.
