~ GORGE WASHINGTON will
open its foot ball schedule
~ Saturday with three of its
best backs on the shelf,
two because OF injuries and the
other because of minor opera
ton. Carlin, Fenlon and Krim>
melmsyer are the men unlikely to
get in the lineup; The first men
toned got a bad cut in an auto
mobile accident, the second has
sprained ankle, while Krimmel-
meyer Is having minor operation
on his nose.
Coach John Pixlee this morning said
he was not certain who would be in
the starting lineup for the game with
Shenandoah, but inasnnuch as he does
not anticipate much trouble is not
much worried about It. AS the situa-
ton stands now. though, it seems that
Jones will get the call at fullback to
take the place held regularly last year
by Krimmelmeyer, with Parrish and
instead of Carlin and Fenlon. Carter
is pretty sure to be the choice for
In the line. Pixlee probably viii send
out Murray and Clarke on ends, with
a possibility that Chambers may be
In the slatter's place. Badranon and
Slaird are fairly sure to be the tackles.
with Usnick and bikes guards. Conn
probably will be in the job at center,
with Frank Blackstone, generally re-
gaded the best center on the squad, on
the sidelines with a leg injury.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITIES squad
~ leaves tomorrow night at o'clock
for its opening game Saturday with
Boston College at Boston. The Brook
landers plan to reach Boston Friday
morning and have light workout there
in the afternoon. Coach Bergman ex-
poets to take about 80 men on the trip.
The team is TO leave Immediately after
the game and return here Sunday.
While there may be change in one
or two positions, Bergman has just
about made up his mind as to his
starting lineup. The two ends are fair
~ sure TO be Halloran at left and Howe
at right. At tackles he viii have Nall
Law at left and Gross at right. Monaco
and Lyons, left and right, will hold
down the guard positions. with Ambrose
at center.
The Brooklanders backfeld gradually
Is developing into about as strong o
combination as one could expect from
as light material as Bergman has to
work with. Johnny Oliver will play
quarter, with Whelan and De Mello at
falfbacks and Sheary at full. There
Is z possibility tlaet Jenkowski may be
in De Mello's place. Jankowski Eas been
cut with bad shoulder, but is rounding
in shapc rapidly and may be able to
play by Saturday.
Bergman is trying to bolster up his
backfield with some weight by shifting
Flynn from tackle to fullhacS. Flynn
is 6 feet, weighs around 1s0, and is
showing considerable promise. If he
can come through sge.sY help the back
field problem considerably incidentally,
It might be said of Flynn that he is
about as fine a specimen Of physical
manhood as one could hope to md
anywhere. He could easily take place
as q hero IN a story Of the time
when knights Were Bold"
Bergman Is the only one OF the four
local coaches whose teams open their
schedules Saturday that faces a real
task. He must send his team against
more reasoned and heavier outfit,
which probably has had much better
weather In which to train Bergman
has no thought that his team will prove
strong enough to whip Boston College,
but does feel that whateve- the result
his men win show much better than
last season.
I UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND is
~ likely TO send into its opening
game with washington College
Saturday just about the same combina-
ton that 1t has lined UP as its FIRST
string IN most Of its scrimmages
In the lineup win be seven seniors,
o combination that most coaches regard
as rather unfortunate, especially II
seniors ever reach that condition Of
mind that sometimes affects such
eleYens. However, the Old Liners are
and the players themselves know pretty
well what they must look out for.
On the end positions Maryland viii
start Pease and Norris, who held down
the same Jobs last season and part Of
the season before that. CaYlis and Kee-
nan are to be the tackles, with Hayden
and Krajcovic the guards. Mitchell, a
former halfback, Is being used at center
most Of the time, with the backheld
composed Of Chalmers, Woods, Berger
and Poppleman.
Faber, regular center Of last year. is
having difficulty with a knee injured
is not going TO be in shape to be de-
pended on as irregular.
ToACH TOM MILLS Of Georgetown,
~ when asked to give his probable
starting lineup for Saturday
against Lebanon Valley, replied that he
cid not know what it would be. It
seems that it is not that Mills does not
knew who viii play the different posi-.
tions, but that he has developed two
tesms OF pretty close TO the same
strength and is in something Of a
psychological dilemma as TO what TO
do about IL.
& shall 1t be his younger eleven, eager
md anxious for the chance to show
ut II can do. or shall II be his more
erienced team. seemingly confident
4skt It's work Of last season Is enough
indication Of what It can do, Is the
question Mills is asking himself and
which he must answer.
