Trailing the Georgetown-West-
ern Maryland affair by only q
stride, in the matter Of interest
and Importance, is the Virginia
Maryland duel at College Park.
Tremendous power, weight and
strength, ~ exemplified by the
visiting Cavaliers, will be hurled
against . polished grid ma
chine composed Of no less than
nine seniors. A crowd OF 5000
Is expected to see this game.

The Georgetown-Western Mary
land combat is figured in pre-
game reviews as a toss-up. Mary
land is given a decided edge over
Virginia.
Minus her great field general
of last year, EkaitiS, Western
Maryland probably will not be
so thoroughly efficient as she
was in 1880,

Unusual washington interest
is focused on the game at Col

Four Washington boys are on
the Cavalier squad. They are:
Bill Mcclure, o 2OO-pOund guard,
who played at Western High
School; Gene Stevens, . half
back, who was ut Central; Homer
DrisSell, another halfback, who
carried the cOlOrs Of Tech, and
Milton AbramsOn, who proved
capable haIfback while attending
Dewitt Prep.
Speed and Cleverness
There will be nothing sluggish
on the gridiron at Griffith Sta
dium today. Speed, agility and
cleverness are all listed as stocks
in trade Of both Georgetown and
Western Maryland.
Coach Harlow's style of play
was more or less created to take
advantage Of his outstanding
backs, Hoppe and Doughty.
The TerrOrs offer both q single
and . double wing back Offense,
from which are developed double
an" triple passes behind the line
of scrimmage, many of them with
forward passes added.
A strong end run, from both
regular and kick formations, with
five and sometimes six men in
the interference, coupled with a
powerful off-tackle slice, makes
Western Maryland at all times a
dangerous team.
The Terror line is called on
throughout the game to hold eft
charging defensive factors, and
this afternoon is in for a sever
test.
Brains in Ascendancy
Georgetown's box formation
after a backfield shift is part Of
q football system designed to
place a premium on brains, speed
and agility.
The Blue and Gray offenSe,
which functioned none too well a
week back, today appears much
more polished and efficacious.
The HilltOppers will take to the
air just as readily as will the
TerrOrs, indicating that senSa-
tiOnal open play, admired by all
modern crowds, will be the order
of the day.
At College Park, Coach Byrd !
has a line which from end to
end is composed of men expert
enced in all kinds of play.
