An old football player is for
ever wishing.
He wishes each fall he could
be 20 years old again. He wishes
he could carry the ball on that
particular off-tackle smash, on
that particular end run, on that
particular double pass.
He wishes he could be in there
to punt at that particular
moment, to drop-kick that par.
ticular try for a goal from field.
Yes, he just wishes, and
wishes, and wishes. From Sep
tember to December.
Well, this old football player
is no different than the others.
He wishes, too.
Maryland Deserves Praise
He wishes he could be a unit
of the football team which this
year is carrying the colors Of
the University of Kentucky. He
refers to the Wildcat eleven
which was Saturday held to 6-6
tie by Coach Curly Byrd's alert,
intelligent, courageous, gallant
Maryland team.
Touchdowns the better team
(and nllral is correct), Ken.
lucky was deadlocked.
It was a virtual victory for
Maryland.
All honor, all glory, all
credit, congratulations and
cheers were for the Terrapins
at the final whistle. Maryland
deserved the adulatiOn.
The Old Liners were glorious
in that tie game. They turned
a single opportunity into a surety
bond. They rose to the occasion,
inspired, and split even. They
even outsmarted the Kentuckians
at just the right moment of the
game. They played heads-up
football, bang-up football, and
came within two eyelashes OF
winning the battle.
Even so, this old football player
will take Kentucky for his.
And, in so choosing, he intends
no disparagement, disinclination
or disaster to Maryland. He ad'
mits the Terps battled the Blue
Grass boys to a veritable stand
still.
Kentucky Gridmen Stars
But, being an old football
player, he persists il carrying his
point. He insists. even on Mon
day morning, that he wishes he
could call signals for "Shipwreck"
Kelly, for Urbaniak, for Phipps,
Richards, Andrews, Scale and the
rest of the Kentuckians. Indeed,
he even includes the Wildcat
coach, arch enemy of young foot
ball players who are really good'
in their own estimations.
What a team, even in moral
defeat, are those Blue Grass
giants!
Kelly is as good a running
hack as this writer has seen in
many years. He is a terrible
punter. Urbaniak could make"
any team in the country. He is
a bullet, with his compact body
and his tremendous leg drive.
That yOungster, Phipps, can
smash through a line. It's no
fOOIin' With him at all times. A
great player, Andrews is ALL
America. What q tackle!
Scale, Now there's a center for
you. Did you see him down the
field? Deadly. Just as good in
his position as Kelly, Andrews
and Urbapiak.
Skinner. He's an end. Tom
Shevlin come back to life. Rough
as they come. And, how us old.
timers love to see good, sturdy,
rough and ready end!
Interesting team, that Ken
lucky outfit. Smashing, tearing,
ripping offenSe.
Kelly Should Run
But, let's see, the old footballer
was wishing, wasn't he?
Well, he wishes Kelly would
always run with the ball and
never punt. He wishes every
enemy play would be directed
at Andrews. He wishes An
drews and Richards would al.
ways be in front of him when
he carried the ball. He wishes
After all, however, since he is
an old football player, and since
he cannot play any more, there
is one wish not so futile. He
wishes he could see Kentucky
and Tennessee play this year. If
that game doesn't prove a Sweet
heart" then this old football
player will quit wishing forever.
PRINCETON, Oct. .19.-An-
ether blue Monday at Princeton!
The Tigers we're overwhelmed
Saturday by Cornell. But Prince
ton was given a chance against
Navy this week and some players
who have been out with injuries
were expected to bolster the team
this week. Secret drills were
scheduled to prepare for the Navy
game.
