p ENTUCKY has here for its
K game with Maryland today
N at 2:30 one of the biggest
foot ball teams that has
ever played in the Nations Cap
ital. Yesterday the 80 players In
the squad took a two-hour work.
out on the College Park gridiron,
ano they had every appearance OF
being the most powerful outfit
physically that has ever played
here. At least, that seems to be
the consensus of opinion OF those
who watched their practice.
While they are saying little, there is
no doubt that the Wild Cats, es they
are called. feel confident OF taking the
long end of the score. They show that
in the way they answer questions about
the game, even if they do not come cut
in so many words. Yesterday, following
their workout. several Of the players,
including Coach Carnage and Athletic
Director Boles, remained at the field
and watched the first half of the W.
ginia Maryland freshman game.
II ENTUCKY has In its lineup three
n fine bacts, two Of whom are even
better than the much advertised
'Shipwreck" Kelly. according to stote-
ments Of coaches Of ether teams that
met Kentucky. Said one of these
coaches, You he9r lot about Kelly.
but this chap Bach is far better
ground gamer and star Of the first
rank. Urbaniek also is just as good
as Kelly, If not better"
Which apparently is saying a lot
about the ability of Bach and UTba nick.
as Kelly for two years psf has been
rated among the two or three outstand-
ing backs Of the South. He weighs
close to 100 pounds and DIES better
than 10 fiat for the hundred. He is
one of the star sprint men OF the
South in track meets
Kentucky probably will outweigh
Maryland IS pounds to the man in the
line and about 10 pounds to the man
in the backfeld However, that may
not mean as much as one might sup
pose, as both Navy and Virginia out
weighed the Old Liners in the line by
wide margin.
Neither MARYLAND nor Kentucky has
been defeated. Kentucky whipped
Maryville by a big score and then
swamped Washington and Lee. As to 0.
Maryland defeated Washington College,
II to o; Virginia, to 6, and Navy.
6 to 0. In other words, tie Old Liners
have been through three battles. while
Kentucky has yet to meet real test.
If Maryland is in good physical con-
dition, it may supply this test. AT
times against both Virginia and Navy.
Maryland played good enough foot bal
to give any team q lively sfterncon.
However. if it is to get the right kind
of a result out of this game it cannot
afford to make mistakes such as 1t
made against both Navy and Virginia.
THE game is likely to be one of the
i greatest local battles Of the year.
Probably no other eleven that visits
Washington this season will be stronger
than Kentucky. In feet, it is almost
certain that no other team due to come
here this Fall will be as good IS the
one from the Blue Grass State. Some
mighty good foot ball is sure to be seen
at College Park this afternoon, as Mary
land showed against Navy that 1t has
the fighting qualities that enable it to
stick to the end.
Yesterday the Kentucky team spent
q good deal of time sightseeing. 1t
paid a visit to President Hoover and
got itself properly photographed with
the Nations Chief Executive. And d.
rector of Athletics BoleS presented the
President with a foot ball for the use
of Herbert Hoover, Sd. The Kentucky
team plans to leave Washington this
evening at 6 o'clock for the return trip.
= A MEXICAN UNIVERSITY dedicates
n its new athletic field this after
noon with its game with High
Point College The local school prob
ably will be like most of the others
that dedicate stadiums and fields, take
the losers end of the score.
Gallaudet is ct Langley Field this
afternoon for a game with the airmen
stationed there Gallaudet is not likely
to win. In fact, If it gets away with a
defeat by a small score it will do well.
