Saturday afternoon in Central
Stadium.
If the dope brought back by
Coaches Raskowski and Sexton Of
Elon'S strength is not the malar-

sure as he can that the visitors
do not come here and upset his
COlOniaIS in their second game,
for he is pushing his men at
top speed every day this week
in anticipation of a hard Strug-
gle.
The G. w. freshmen have been
given the Elon plays and the
varsity has been taught how to
stop them. In addition several
new plays have been handed out
to have in readiness to spring
on Elon if they are necessary.
Frank Blackstone, center; Jack
Jones, fullback, and Boyd Hick-
man, guard, were kept cut Of
practice yesterday with injuries.
The first pair both have wrench

Univ. Of Illinois Football Coach

Univ. Of Illinois Football Coach
When a big" team just
scratches out victory in an open
ing game or is defeated by an
opponent not in its class, this
often means that the coach has
not had the time to develop his
team.
The smaller team often ap-
pears to be working far more
smoothly. This is because it's
coach knows his material better
and is trying to put team on
the field that will make the best
possible showing that day. The
coach Of the big" team Is chang"
ing his men around to size up
his material.
Good Results Obtained
Sometimes an opening game
against a strong freshman team Is
far more valuable than meeting
an inferior opponent. This was
not the case when Purdue ran up
80 points against its first-year men
but to me that was the most i'm
pressive result. In all the years I
have coached at Illinois even our
championship teams were never
able to run wild like that against
the freshmen.
NOtre Danes appearance
against the Irish reserves was
another interesting family af-
fair, telling us that the Irish
will have another strong. line
which will make the new backs
look good.
Koken did most of the playing
at left halfback, Marchmont
Schwartz's regular position. while
Schwartz appeared only briefly.
what this means can only be
guessed, but the chances are Huck
Anderson is making it plain, as
every coach must at some time,
that no player is indispensable.
We all wish Stagg good fortune
In his 40th season at Chicago
but it is apparent he has an
other difficult task. To take on
Cornell College, which was de-
feated and Hillsdale, which won,
was perhaps a considerable
Undertaking but Coach Stage was
looking for experience and not
victories.
He is again developing a. lat
eral pass with one player out
wide and another man in motion,
putting two players to flank.

day, has warned his team that
the Virginians are much stronger
this year. Says Young:
'Lynchburg showed me q
fine looking team in beating

Such is not the case any day to
date this season at Western
Maryland. The latter university
did not open until yesterday and
the coach Of the Green TerrorS
could utilize all the time he de-
sired. This phase Of the situa-
ton is important in any reck-
oning.
Many other interesting angles
present themselves to the fore
caster as he studies this game.
First: Will Western Maryland's
line hold off the charges of
Georgetown's forward wall to per-
init Green Terror backs to exc
cute double and triple passes,
with forward heaves coming at
the end of many of them?
Second: Will Georgetown's
shift unbalance western Mary
lands defensive units enough to
permit Hilltopper backs to tear
through?
Third: Will Georgetown's de-
tense against the overhead prove
strong enough, and consistent
enough, to meet the superb
throws of Doughty?
Fourth: Will Western Mary
lands secondary defenses be able
to cope with Georgetown's double
receiver plays?
Fifth: Will Georgetown's for
ward defense be strong enough
to halt the plunges and runs of
the big, rangy, powerful, fast
Hoppe?
Sixth: Can Western Mary.
lands line solve Georgetown's
quick opening plays?
Fundamental football galore
should be on tap Saturday.
Georgetown desires to erase
the sting of those two sue
cessive defeats by the Green
TerrOrs. Western Maryland
wants to keep its slate clean.
going indicated for more than
two seasons.
Both teams will be keyed up.
Georgetown realizes that a VIC
tory will mean much in eStab-
fishing esprit de corps for coming
games. Maryland realizes that
to keep its slate clean it must
offer a superlatively fine game.
Such conditions assure SlaShing
fundamental football.
The Green TerrorS probably will
offer more in the way of power
than Georgetown. The latter
probably will offer more agility,
but as to speed it is questionable
If Georgetown is a whit faster
than the men coached by Harlow.
Both teams are noted for their
defenses when danger threatens,
Both teams have a powerful off
tackle smash, with Western Mary
lands q bit superior to George
towns due to Hoppe. Quick
opening plays have been mastered
thoroughly by both teams, and
these plays very often shake
fast backs loose for long runs
and scores. Both teams will miss
fine quarterbacks Of last year.
However. in this department, both
are well equipped again this
year.
AS the teams today swing into
the last three practice sessions

to be a toSs.up as to which eleven

BY HARRY COSTELLO
GeOrgetOwn's BackfieId Star,
K. 191O-1913

The most sensational and spec
tacular gridiron- game ever wit
messed in Washington, and one
involving free use Of the for
ward pass, double and triple
pass plays and wide-open, sweep
ing end runs from both regular
and kick formations.
That it what is expected Sat
urday when the strong Western
Maryland team, coached by the
cagey and brilliant Dick Harlow,
clashes with Georgetown, coached
by the master of details, Tommy
Mills.
It will be the Rockne system
against the Warner system Sat
urday; the shift and offensive
end play against wing backs
and double and triple passes,
1t will be forward pass against
forward pass, with many OF
Western Maryland's starting from
the old Carlisle criSS-croSS, and
Georgetown'S masked by clever
backfield maneuvering.
Saturdays battle should be
made to order for the spectator.
With two such backs as Hoppe
and Doughty cavOrting for
Western Maryland, and with
Bradley and BOrdeau to do duty
for Georgetown, not to mention
Pincura in the line for the
Green TerrOrs and DubOfSky in
the forward wall for the Blue
and Gray, this game should
prove exciting from whistle to
