P|XLEE IS FEARFUL
# RESERVES USED
Believes Starting Team Has
Even Chance-Maryland
Lineup Unde Cided.
BY HI. c. BYRD.

Il ~ ~ ~ II "TAoAAAA'NA Wv -
foot ball team goes on the
~ firing line Saturday.
Tomorrow morning the
squad leaves here for Lexington,
Va, where it meets its first 1882
test, with Washington and Lee as
its opponent.
The squad is to make the trip
by bus and will stop off at Staun-
ton tomorrow afternoon for a
brief workout. From Stauntou
the trip is to be continued to Lex
ington, with the time of arrival
somewhere around 6 o'clock.
Apparently the Colonials have worked
together good first string but are not
very confident of what may happen if
they are compelled to use many re-
placements. Coach Jim Pixlee spoke
frankly about the situation this morn
ing and did not hesitate to express
his opinion that es long as the first
team holds together George Washing
ton has a good chance but hardly an
even chance if injuries, necessitating
removals, are encountered.
Before Carlin was injured" says
PiXlee, II felt that We had the ad
vantage of Washington and Lee and
stood an excellent chance to win. but
now I am not so confident. Our first
string team should take care of itself
all right and if We are not compelled
to make requirements we ought to have
about an even break on the game.
However, if We have to make many
changes nobody can tell what may
happen"
Pixlee plans to start the team he has
had together the last two Weeks-Wr-
tually veteran organization. Mulvey
and Chambers are to be on the ends.
Bill Parrish and Slaird at tackles
Stewart and Hickman at guards. Dixie
at center. Fenlon at quarter. Finis Par
rish and Strayer at halfb2cks and
Krimmelmeyer at full. This team is ex-
perienced, heavy and fast and should,
as Pixlee says, give good account OF
itself.
THIS will be the first time George
i Washington has met Washington
and Lee in foot ball since 1908.
And If the Colonials make out as well
Saturday as they did then. they should
come back feeling quite proud OF them
selves. That year washington and Lee
came here with a great reputation;
and With a big team, but the local
school sent it back to Lexington de- |
feqted BIZ 80 to 6.
In that game, Jack Gates, one of |
the cficals and until this year di- |
rector of athletics at Vale. said that |
in his opinion George Washington gave |
an exhibition of the fastest offensive |
foct ball that had ever been played.
Saturday the Colonials are hoping
to win. They realize that victory
will give their season an impetus that
nothing else possibly could. Wash
ing:on and Lee is said to have worked
just as hard and Just as energetically
as George Washington has to be
ready for what it expects to be very
hard game and the result probably
will be a midseason struggle between
two elevens much further advanced
than usual. It should be by far the
best game scheduled in this section
this week.
T UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND prob
~ ably will start in its game Satur-
day with washington College
team just as heavy as it had last year,
but far from as experienced. Simpson
and Farrell probably will be in the guard
positions. Rouzer and keenan, at
tackles, Mitchell at center, with Wild
mayer, Woods, Poppelman and either |
Crecca or Nelson in the backfeld. Two
other backs slated to get good chances
are Buscher and Sothoron, both of
whom have been developing rapidly.
The end positions are in doubt and it |
is likely that four men will get oppor-
tunities to battle it out for the regular
jobs.
Maryland physically is in rather poor
condition. Webb at center, Mcdonald |
at guard, and Herman at halfback are
out with bad bruises Hockensmith has
a badly sp1ained ankle and Deveau. an
end. twisted hand. The four long
scrimrnages the squad had last Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday with the Ma
rines and Catholic University Tuesday |
probably were just bit longer and
more severe than the squad was able to
stand.
Work with the squad will be eased up
considerably today and tomorrow in an
effort to bring the men around in time
for the opening Saturday. While
Maryland feels that under ordinary cir
cumStances it ought to win from Wash
ington College actually it realizes that

In scrimmage against Maryland Tues
day he was so much better than the
other players that he stood out like a

Dutch Bergman is we'll pleased over
the way Confer is shaping uo, and also
over the way his whole squad is coming
along.
