HARRY COSTELLO spired with a
strong determination to win.
Maryland's players will not un-
derestimate the enemy, and will
be confident.
Two remarkably fine running
attacks at Griffith Stadium Sat
urday. The running attack I'm
questionably is the basis Of all
football offense.
Strong Offensive
The burden of proof Saturday
lies with the Navy. despite the
Annapolis victory of last year,
when the Middies won with a
single touchdown. rip" Miller's
boys. his ends on offense particu-
larly. will have their hands full
Saturday. Maryland has a senior
line. Both tackles are seniors,
with two years of varsity football
behind them. Navy's offense is
more dependent for success on
the two ends than any other two
units Of the eleven.
Upon the effectiveness of the
Navy lines offensive charge rests
the outcome of the. game.
The question seems to be:
''Will the units of Navy's for
ward wall. again such q line
as Maryland win present, pos
sess that persiStency of con-
tact and continuity of power so
essential to effectiveness?"
Two mighty fine offenses will
be pitted against each other Sat
urday. In building their attacks,
Coaches ''Curley" Byrd and rip"
Miller have given consideration to
every offensive weapon; the rum
ming plays, the line-splitting plays,
the slice. the overhead heave, the
kicking game.
Maryland can i'll afford mental
lapses in this game such as she
had last Saturday. This Navy
team will have a decided scoring
punch. The Old Liners to date
have not handled the ball any too
cleanly. Fumbling is a mental
lapse. It shows lack Of concentra-
ton.
Nays Plan
Both teams accept the forward
pass as a weapon of attack.
Byrd's system probably will take
greater advantage of it as an at
tacking weapon. Miller's system
utilizes the play more as a threat.
If Maryland discounts Navy'S
overhead game, the Old Liners
are in for tough afternoon.
Navy's battle plan Saturday
win undoubtedly take on the
aspect of calling every play
with the intent of scoring rather
than gaining a first down. In
the Annapolis attack nearly
every play is pregnant with
scoring possibilities.
Each team has a long forward
pass which has a tendency to
make the other team weaken its
first line of defense to check the
long fling.
The execution sof individual
duties by backfield units in estab-
fishing interference is one of the
most difficult of all football
tasks. Both Maryland and Navy
seemed to possess units capable
of mastering this art.
Saturdays should be a Sensa-
tional game.

The matching Of Sailor Billy
Landers and frankie De Angelo
over a 10-round route in a bout
to take place at Fort Washington
next Monday night should settle
once and for all just who is the
better man.
Such a situation makes this
meeting even more attractive
than the two previous ones.
Landers was the favorite both
times, but when they stepped up
this time the result should be a
toss up. However the two extra
rounds will certainly bring the
judges and referee to a final con.

Although football is occupying

These two teams tied for the

Poppelman, in leg work, was
the best man on the field in the
Virginia game last Saturday. He
toted the pigskin up and down
the field, and one demon statis-
tician is responsible for the state
ment that Ray strobe over more
than $50 yards against the Cava-
liers.
The mathematical exper
though, did not keep tack of
Rays debit side, but it is safe to
say that he tossed away almost
as much yardage by handing the
ball over to the opposition.
The former Marine, who
now is q junior at Maryland,
is one Of the backs Navy fears
most, and they have . right to
hold him in high regard.
He almost certainly will be a
thorn in their side if ne holds
that ball. Ray spent a lot of
time yesterday. in company with
Bozey Berger, another fleet
Marylander who has been parting
company with the pigskin all too
often, in drilling in the art of
holding the ball. And he will
spend a lot more time along the
same line before the Old Liners
lock horns with the Middies Sat
urday.
Maryland did not figure in any
rough work yesterday, the prac-
tice being confined mainly to
fundamentals, such as clean
handling the ball in all phases,
and running through plays. The
going will be rougher today and
still tougher tomorrow.

Dim OUTLOOK.
At WESTERN !.
BY GARRETT WATERS

One backfield man, a tackle,
an end, and a guard. That's
the nucleus which Coach Dan
Ahern at Western has staring
him in the face this season.
Quite a small collection of
hold-overs, quite a small collec-
ton. But Ahern is one of those
guys who never complains. "Si-
lent Dan" is what they call him
and Silent Dan is he to all who
know him.
One Veteran Backfield Man
In other words, Just another
football campaign faces Western
this season and If it turns out
successfully-all will be well. II
it is theSame- as other seasons ot
the recent past-there will be no
crying, for students, officials and
followers alike have all become
accustomed to "the fair state OF
affairs" existing out Georgetown
way.
The lone backfield hOld.Over
under Ahern this year Is
Jackie Lynham. If he was
big and heavy, Ahern wouldn't
feel so bad about conditions
in this department. But Lyn.
ham is merely a lightweight
who was not used last season,
because of his frailness, even
though he was regarded as
firSt-String material.
Still, the lad possesses a great
deal of experience. which Is en-
couraging, and which will no
doubt prove of importance to
the remainder of the youngsters
to be placed finally in the other
positions in the backfield.
Experience, incidentally, is the
lone encouraging feature about
Coach Ahern's hold-overs this
year. Every one of his four men
know what it is all about and
it's certainly going to be brought
out later when the crucial games
come along.
The Buscher brothers, Everett
and Lawrence and Bob Greve,
form the aforementioned line
holdovers. Everett Buscher is an
end, Lawrence the tackle, and
Greve the, guard.
Greve Big Fellow
Everett won quite a personal dis
tinction last year by winning ALI
High honors as one Of the best
ends in the scholastic series. Law.
renee won honorary mention as
one of the few standout tackles
He might have been All-High ma.
terial, but for Joining Western
late in the season.
Greve is the one big man of
the team. He tips the scales
near the 18O mark and looks
better than at any time last sea-
son. He should be heard from
later.
Among the new candidates
showing up we'll in practice are
Boyer, Hilleary and Reynolds,
backfield men In all likelihood,
this trio will flank Jackie Lyn-
ham when Ahern finally hits
upon his regular lineup.
There Is possibility, however,
that a youngster named Teehan,
drafted" from Emerson, might
fill a backfield position. Teehan
never has played the backfield
before, but because of his heft
and promise of future develop
ment as a back, may be used.
Teehan cavoted on the line in
his two years at Emerson.
Ahern might have one Of his
line worries lifted in the person
of Bill Payne, another Emerson
player recently transferred to
Western. This lad has always
played a dependable game at
Emerson and should continue in
his new surroundings, if his past
performances mean anything at
all.

REAPPORTIONMENT
TO BE DISCUSSED
AT CHAMBER MEET

Reapportionment, much talked
OF and little understood, will be
explained at tomorrow's El Centro
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
by Ross T. Hickcox, local attorney
who has given much study to the
question. The question OF reappor-
tionment congressman and reahgn-
ment of congressional districts has
become of great Importance to the
state OF California owing to the
fact that. due to an increase OF
100000 population in the past 10
years, the state is now entitled to
nine more members in congress
than formerly. In the past north
ern California had more represent
ativeS in congress than Southern
California. but according TO the
present population the southern
half OF the state should have II
representatives in congress, while
northern California is entitled only
to nine. Southern California is
demanding equal representation, OF
10 congressman from each half OF
the state.
Otner complications arising from
changing the congressional districts
will affect the state legislature, ac-
cording to HickcoX, and he will
outline tomorrow to those interest
ed all the sides of the reappo-tion-
ment question and its Importance
to Southern California. As a mem
Der OF the California Economic
Council Hickcox has been meeting
with other representatives of the
southern part OF the state week
ly for some months and, while
other questions have been brought
up in the economic council. much
of the time has been given over
to the matter of reapportionment.

a Woman's struggles against man

herself.
Miss Harding gives n splendid in
