lOWn ana MdIyldHu, Jake
i part in two of the greatest
foot ball games in the coun-
try tomorrow. Here, at the Clark
Griffith Stadium, Maryland and
the Navy meet in what ought to
be remarkable struggle, while
at New York Georgetown faces
New York University in a contest
the only regrettable part of which
Is that it is 225 miles away.
Both Maryland and Georgetown went
through a comparatively easy workout
yesterday. There was no desire on the
part Of either school to take chances Of
sending some player to the sidelines
with an injury, and. besides that, both
worked pretty hard Tuesday and We'd
nesday. In reality, Maryland had its
hardest practice of the year Tuesday
afternoon, a practice so severe that the
players were more used up after 1t
than they were after the Virginia game
last week
The Old Line backs took real beat
ing throughout two hours Of scrimmage
and then for another half hour they
went through practice that was unique,
yet about as rough as a back ever Is
likely TO get. A back would be given
the ball with three or four big linesmen
stationed about five yards in front of
him, and the back then would drive
straight through them without the least
sign of interference. The line was in
structed not to make any special effort
to tackle but to grab the back in any
and every possible way about the body
and arms in a deliberate effort to
make the back tumble The period spent
in that way produced a noticeable i'm
provement in safe toting Of the ball.
TEORGETOWN'S squad left this
morning at 9 O'Clock for New York.
The team will reach Gotham in
time for light workout this afternoon,
and after that until game time will do
little other than rest. Tom Mills ac-
tually feels more confident about the
game than he did the one with Western
Maryland despite the fact he knows he
is against one of the strongest teams
in the East.
my team right now is not half bad"
Is the way Mills puts it, land I think
we've got a good chance. OF course,
you know lot of things happen up in
the New York game, for one reason or
another. Last year we went up there
and did not think we had ghost of
a show, but actually we outplayed N.
Y. U. by a wide margin. although the
score was to 0 against us. 1t may turn
out just the opposite this year, one can
never tell, but on the whole l feel that
at the worst we have fair chance"
Mills plans to start his team with
Hudson and Carolan on ends, Katilinas
and Anderson at tackles, Dubofsky and
banner at guards, Callahan at center,
King at quarter, Cells and Alenty,
halves. and BOrGeau, fullback. This
Mills believes to be his strongest line
up.
Beth Maryland and Navy realize they
are in for the hardest kind of a game.
Each knows pretty we'll the strength of
the other, and barring the tendency
Maryland has had to make costly mis-
takes. there is little difference between
the two elevenS. From the first blast
of the whistle it is pretty sure to be a
case one great battle for the break,
with the indications good that It may
not take much of a break one way or
the other to turn the tide of victory.
incidentally both teams seem to be
in good physical shape. Rumor had it
that Lou Kim, star of the Navy back
field, would not be able to play, but
Coach Miller said this morning that
he would undoubtedly be in the game.
Kim last year was one of the hardest
men in the country to stop, and prob
ably he has not lost any of his effective
ness. He did not play against William
and Mary last week.
Last year Navy won from Maryland
6 to 0 at Annapolis, Kim Sprinting IS
yards for a touchdown on the second
play of the game. The game was just
about as close and well played as such
a game could have been, and by many
was claSsed among the finest struggles
of the year. The meeting tomorrow Is
likely to be just as spectacular and
lust as interesting
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY plays Gal
~ laudet this afternoon in the Brook
land Stadium. 1t was at first ex-
pected to play at~Clark Griffith Stadium
at night, but the decision at the sta
dunn not to put up the big light poles
until after the Navy-Maryland game
caused the game to be shifted back to
the Brookland field. The contest is
to begin at 2:30.
In talking of the game this morning,
Coach Bergman of Catholic University
said that he would start his strongest
possible lineup. Every regular except
one will go into the game at the Begin
ming and stay there until it Is won or
lost. according to Bergman.
Il know this Gallaudet team" saws
Bergman, land something of how tricky
It is. I've understood that it does not
have the material it had last year and
that its showing in Baltimore last week
was way off, but you can bet that I'm
not taking any chances. My best team.
except for one man, goes on the field
and goes there to do the best it can
against what probably will be an eleven
fighting to redeem poor showing of
week ago"
Bergman will start the game with
Fraatz and Howe on ends, Nallv and
Gross at tackles, Monaco and Lyons
at guards, Ambrose center. Oliver at
quarterback, Whelan and De Mello at
halves and Bertoni at fullback. Bus
Sheary, regular fullback, is the only
regular who will be on the side lines
when the game gets under way.
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S eleven

meets Boston University Saturday.
