The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-09

A ABAAb 0CAlGuukG anu a uGt4vX squad combined in this era of new deals are looked upon as the fac- tors which will bring the team it's most successful football season in more than a decade.
 Play Six Games
 The Tight" schedule consist of six games, each with an opponent well in Washington's class. For the first~ time in many a season the Eastern Shore eleven will not De called upon to fill the roll Of "breather" for some big-time op- ponent seeking some soft opposi- tiori between major foes. The six schools on Washington's schedule are Gallaudet, Hopkins, SusQueh- anna, Mt St .Mary's, Haverford and Delaware. And Washington, ac- cording to preseason dope, has an even, or better than even, chance. with each of these foes. So much for the schedule. Now for the squad. George Ekaitis and Tom Kibler, Washington coaches, agree that it is the best looking group, of material they have ever seen at the Chestertown school. And, remember, Tom Kibler has been looking at Washington Col. llege football squads for more than twenty years.
 Nine Vets Return Veterans from last season on the squad are: Captain Dwyer, tackle; Ward, guard; Lord, center; Jones. | tackle; Baker, end; Bilancioni, end Berry. back; Tignor, back: and Greims, back.
 Add to this group Bill Nicholson and Ed Evans, who performedf in 1882 for the Shoremen but were out of uniform last season. Also add Huffman and Wilmot, here a Q couple of years ago as freshmen. Neither completed his first year and both are back for another try. Then there is plenty of likely looking freshman material. Kilby. a tackle; Salter, an end; Brandt, a guard; Davis, a center; Mygatt, a guard, and last but not least the newest Cuts" Young, are out standing. There are many more yearlingS but these are the ones most likely to grab off share of Ithe spotlight in their first season. No Reserve Lnemen Gs The one apparent weakness of the team Is the lack of real exper- fence in the reserve linemen. The only fear of the Washington men, tors is that serious injury to one or more of the regular forwards will effect the teams effectiveness. | Captain Dwyer, Ward and Lord are experienced players of real ability and can be counted upon to hold up the line as long as they CT in the contest. Bilancioni and Salter, with Baker just step be- hind, seem to have the end jobs | clinched.
 That brings us to the backfield. Here you find the reason for facts and figures: Nicholson, 190-pounds Tiyner, 190-pounds; Evans. 1s5- pounds: Huffman. 1S5~pounds. These are the hefties of the ball. carrying group. Berry. Greims, l Wilmot and Young are not so
 beefy but all are fast and shifty.- Consider this lad Young. He Is a nephew of Hugh and Page Young. | both former Washington athletic luminaries. He halls from Will
 liamsburg, Va, where he has a prep school record in football and track which makes one glad he chose Washington College instead | of one of the Shore schools op- ponents.
 Backs Have Scoring Punch This backfield is figured to give Washington something 1t has lacked for a long time: Scoring punch--the big boys to wear 'em down and the little ones to run 'em ragged.
 There is no denying that spirit of optimism prevails on the Wash- ington practice field this year the like of which has been seen in a long time. The schedule, opening as 1t does with Gallaudet and an apparent victory, should help the morale of the team in a way the
 usual beating at the hands of the
 University of Maryland in the
 opener in other seasons has never
 helped.
