~ OLLEGE PARK, Md, September
4 I'll c. (Curly) Byrd, IRON
~ gray leader Of the University of
Maryland's foot ball destinies,
faces his twenty-first year as coach Of
the Old Line schools grid team with
nothing more to build upon for the
ensuing season than, maybe, the water
boy and the night watchman.
1t is probably not that bad. But not
lot better, anyhow. When the
veteran dean of coaches in this bailiwick
turned the key on Monday afternoon
to open up practice drills on Byrd Field
he found three regulars from last year
there to greet him. Only three.
While George Washington Is hum
ming tunes of plenitude and prosperity
Curley's prospects Of a good Terrapin
eleven this year are as bad as the times,
If not worse, because times are really
getting better.
But If you figure that the patriarch
of this territorys striped arena instruc-
tors is sad and doleful over the fact
that he is facing the greatest problem
with which he has had to contend in
years, take another guess. Not Mr..
Byrd, gentlemen; not Mr.. Byrd.
..TT'S going to be interesting to build
i a foot ball team out of flock
Of green youngsters" said Curly,
arms afold out there on the firing line
watching a flock of young men with
foot ball ambitions do their best to at
tract attention.
I'VE have lost about everything in a
foot ball way" he continued, "our line
graduating almost en- masse, and our
backfield was hard hit. We must build
an entire new line, only one regular
from last years team returning In
the backfield We have two leftover
regulars around whom we must mold a
department.
"Our situation Is difficult, but look
at the fun we are going to have in
whipping together a ball club from boys
about whose foot ball ability or pos
sibilities we know hardly nothing at all.
1t is going to keep us hard at work.

be sufficient reward"
And that's how a fellow Of 81 years
OF coaching experience at one institu-
ton feels about facing herculean task.
That's the spirit of the tutors Of the
old school,
only five letter men are back. They
~ are AL Woods, the blond back:
Ray Poppleman, another rear sec
tor man; Charles Keenan,, the only
regular linesman to return, and John
Mitchell, center, and Paul Kieran, an
other letter man backfield aspirant.
That's the basis upon which Curley
must build

Of these were graduated.
Eight of the II berths on the team,
Of course, are as wide open as q double
door barn. With 6 spots to be f1lled
in the depleted forward wall Byrd's
most difficult and immediate task Is to
get enough line material from the "a
prospects now drilling to at least start
something.
HURLEY started from scratch on

the members of his lettuce patch
Into immediate skirmishing. 1t was an
unusual stunt one filled with lot OF
danger because of the possibility of
early injuries, but the only thing Curley
could do to get line on what the
gods Of fate had sent out there on the
field
This is the smallest group Of Terp
grid hopes in recent years. 1t may
make up for its lack of poundage with
speed and spirit. But Of the "a boys
out here only eight of the aggregation
weigh 180 pounds or more. The
rest of the goods Is short on avordupois.
Fourteen PLAYED freshman foot ball last
year and 20 of the flock had grid
iron tutelage last year.
When the last candidate Is In, the
squad is expected to number around
40 prospects.
Byrd, Charlie Fenwick, Earl Zulick
and Rosy Pollock will send the men
through the PAGES as fast as they ar
rive in an effort to throw together a
team which will be altered, remade.

The squad numbers about SO, most of
whom have arrived. This Is little

that position. Quarterback candidates
are Kilmore and McCartee, and for the

N Henri Cochet may or may
/ Y not be the worlds greatest
tennis player at the mo-
ment, but there can be slight
doubt the marvellous little French
man tops them all as box office
draw"
For three days now the big
horseshoe stadium at Forest Hills
has been comfortably filled with
spectators and hundreds more
have spilled on to the outlying
courts.
All have paid pretty stiff price for
the privilege Of watching what was
bound to be Indifferent tennis in the
opening rounds Of the national cham
pionships.
Cochet, surrounded by an aura of
semi-invincibility, has pulled most of
them through the gates. Some have
been there to see Ellsworth Vines, Amer
icaS cannoneer, but it has been no.
niceable that when Cochet played on the
center court the stadium was filled, the
other playing fields virtually deserted
The tournament committee, knowing its
audience, has not yet assigned Vines
to the stadium.
IT Is easy to understand Henri,s hold
ON the public. He exudes color and
his grace on the court Is that Of q
dancer. Compared to some of the g.
footers he faces on this side, he Is q
little fellow. but he has the wrists of q
Dempsey. That Is where he gets the
speed and the accuracy in his drives.
There Is no great arc to his swing and
he doesn't bother about the follow
through. He snaps the ball where he
wants it to go. endlessly, tirelessly and
usually 1t wins for him.
Prospects were he would need all his
resources today when he encountered
John Van Ryn, the steady Philadel-
fourth round. The French ace was
favored to win. but not with any such
margin as that by which he over
whelmed Manuel Alfonso yesterday. Al
though he prefers and excels at dou-
bles Van Ryn can play q lot Of singles
when he takes the notion.
THINGS also promised to warm up
i today for Vines, who has loafed
through two previous matches.
The champion meets his old friend and
doubles partner, Keith Gledhill, who
has beaten him frequently in lesser
tournaments. and observers anticipated
a hot match.

Comeback" yesterday by defeating l6-
year-old Frankie Parker Of Milwaukee,

stacle in Takeo Kuwabara, champion

taxes yesterday in beating Bryan
Grant, jr., of Atlanta.

Loss OF TACKLES
BOTHER|NG HANLEY
Northwestern Coach Does
Not Know How to Figure
His Teams Chances.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES.
Associated Press Sports Writer,

r. VANSTON, H., September T.
H For the first time since he went
to work at Northwestern six
years ago, Coach Dick Hanley
doesn't know just what to make of the
Wildcats chances in the approaching
foot ball wars.
When he thinks of Pug Rentner, all
| America halfback and the rest Of his
backf1eld talent, Hanley almost smacks
his lips When he thinks Of those two
tackle spots where Dal Marvil and Jack
Riley worked for three years, he shakes
his head.
For three years out here" he says,
II didn't think so much about cham
pionships, and we didn't get any. In
1880 and 1881, I was pretty sure we
would be right up around the top of
the Big Ten, and We were. This year
don't yet know just how to figure.
I'D ENTNER, Olson and Potter and
n whoever else We start in the
backfield, look like about a
match for anything the rest of the con-
ference has. Rentner should be even
better than last season, even with
everybody concentrating on him. Olson
is fine kicker and Potter will be a
better quarterback"
All this with high enthusiasm. Then
he becomes thoughtful.
A But" he asks, where am going
to get another pair of tackles like Riley
and Marvil? They don't come along
every year. We will have experienced
men for the rest of the line, but I'll just
have to wait and see how reserves
develop.
1T looks as though we will be lit
| tie easier to score on, so we will just
have to bear down on doing more scor-
ing ourselves"
HANLEY figures Ohio State Mime
i i sofa and Purdue as the outstand-
ing choices for the championship,
| with Northwestern, Michigan and per-
haps Indiana, as possibilities. The other
four members, Chicago, Wisconsin.
Iowa and Illinois, he believes will be
| stronger than in 1881.
II am certain Of just one thing" he
says. "Ohio. Minnesota. Purdue, Mich
| igan and Notre Dame will have strong
| teams-and we meet them all"
The Wildcats will open on October
with Missouri at Northwestern. Then
In order come October 8, Northwestern
at Michigan; October Is. Northwestern

Northwestern; October 30, Northwest
ern at Minnesota; November S, Ohio

upon the brake pedal as q man cam
one of them explained.
Let's get this straight. The ability OF
the modern car to stop is not as de-
pendent on pedal pressure as upon the
efficiency of the brakes and the skill OF
the driver in using them. II the clear
ance between the drums and the brake
shoes is reduced to minimum, and the
brakes are equalized, stopping can be
accomplished with comparatively low
pedal j.. pressure. Another important
factor is the ability of the driver to set
the brakes in action promptly. There
is too much inclination to hesitate and
deliberate.
Wide shouloers-the new style not
for milady-should be appealing to her
when she is at the wheel. It Is sur

SO often interfere with handling the car
expertly in an emergency. Rough
woolens are also coming into vogue,
welcomed especially by those who en-
joy the novelty of taking long drive
with not wrinkle in carfull.
Cheers and a bouquet for the woman
who discovered that when the treads
Of the tires are worn too smooth there
il more risk of skidding if too much
power is applied to the rear wheels, or
il steering is not carefully conducted,
than in stopping The explanation is
that modern brakes are fairly well
