Evening star., 1933-11-29

4 i Tor Idmpa 10 play Ille AiiAdA
game of its season Satur-
day with University OF Florida.
The SQUAD is due to arrive at
Tampa Friday morning and plans
to leave there Immediately after
the game to get back in time to
attend classes Monday morning.
No one connected with the Old Line
SQUAD cared to venture an opinion about
the possibilities of the game. In the
first place the coaches are far from
familiar with the strength OF the Gator
squad and are not entirely certain as to
the kind of game their own team may
show. The Maryland coaches and play
ers alike, though, believe that they are
ready to put up the best battle tney
have shown this year.
Maryland did very little in the way
of practice Monday and not a whole lot
more yesterday, but plans to get in two
hours of hard play this afternoon. Most
signal drills. but defensive measures as
well eS offensive are to occupy today.
THIS is the second time that Mary
land has met Florida in foot ball
the other game having been played
In 1927 and resulted in 7-to-6 victory
for Florida. In that, with the count Z
to against it and one minute left to
play. MARYLAND had the ball just l
foot from Florida's goal and four downs
to get it over. On the first attempt the
Old Liners went across, but had the ball
brought back because both teams were
declared off side. On the next try the
ball was fumbled and Florida recovered.
Florida apparently has an exceptional
team. as its record against strong elevens
is good, 1t was barely defeated by Ten
neSSee and Georgia Tech and last week
1t won from Auburn.
Maryland will depend on the same
men who did so we'll last week against
Washington and Lee. Whether or not
the starting lineup is to be the same is
not known, but whoever starts, the same
players are pretty sure to get the call
at one time or another during the game.
n HARYLAND has one score it would
INI like to even up with Florida.
Two years ago 1t went to At
lanta with the outstanding basket ball
team of the Southern Conference and
was generally picked to retain the
championship it had won the year be-
fore. There were only Is teams en-
tered in the tournament and Florida
was not one Of them, but in order to
provide Maryland with a good warm-up
for the first day the Tournament Com
mittee got in touch with Florida and
persuaded it to send its team to the
tournament to fill in. As far as Mary
land was concerned it filled in all right
because it soundly trounced the Old
Liners by SO to "a and put them out OF
the tournament.
main for a victory in its big game to-
morrow Is st. Johns College of An
napolis for its battle with Johns Hop
kinS at Baltimore. The Johnnies have
better record than Hopkins. but seem
to be fearful Of the fleet Hopkins backs
IN the matter OF passes st. Johns in
the last three weeks has come along
rapidly, and its outstanding victory OF
the year was over Swarthmore which
defeated Hopkins easily.
IE1THER Cornell nor Penn seems
IN to be as strong as usual: in fact,
neither IS as strong as usual, but
alumni and other supporters OF the two
universities will be on hand by the
thousands to watch the big tilt tomor-
row at Philadelphia: Penn and Cor
ern or Middle western universities
that play on Thanksgiving day.
Last year Virginia created something
OF an upset by jumping into North
Carolina and winning IA to 7, to break
string of North Carolina victories.
This year the Cavaliers think they have
a better pre-game chance than last.
although they face the jinX Of never
having been abe to win in North Caro-
lina's new stadium. If North Carolina
Is defeated by Virginia the game will
wind up one of the most disastrous
seasons any Carolina eleven has had
In years.
Kentucky will have to rise to greater
heights against Tennessee tomorrow
than 1t has shown in its recent games
If it is to hold its own and make the
traditional Thanksgiving day battle one
of uncertainty. Kentucky has been
something of bugaboo for Tennessee.
because usually it has shown a dispo-
sition to upset Tennessee's applicant.
AS far as the last few games are con-
cerned, though. Tennessee looks much
the stronger. Kentucky has not seemed
to be playing so well recently as during
the early part of the season. when 1t
put up a great battle with Duke and
defeated Georgia Tech.
A good many Washingtonians are plan
ming to go to Roanoke tonight in order
to be on hand tomorrow for the game
between Virginia Military Institute and
Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The
game is the most colorful in the South,
as it is played to the tempo Of march
ing military organizations and bands
Both v. P. I. and v. M. I. are military
schools and turn out their regiments
