Cardinals Farthest Advanced.

squad was far enough advanced
yesterday for Coach , Dutch
Bergman to go up to New York to
attend the meeting for discussion of
the rules. The Brooklanders had
such an extended and well organized
Spring practice that they were able
to pick up this Fall exactly where
they left off then. They are further
advanced than any of the other
schools. All of Catholic University'S
material is not as experienced as some
of it was last year, but as whole
the chances are that the team will
be stronger.
Coach Jack Hagerty at Georgetown
is saying little, but feels much better
about his prospects than he did at
this time last year. Hagerty'S great
problem is to develop capable second
string players, as it seems certain
that he should have a first string
eleven good enough to more than
hold its own right on through the
schedule. Georgetown will be better
this Fall than its supporters expect,
and Hagerty feels that his squad is
just as far advanced as it should be
at this time.
Maryland should be much more
formidable than last season. The Old
Liners have a good deal more back
field material and more line material,
and year of experience for the green
men who made up the 1888 squad.
Even with the green first-string
players year ago, whenever a sub
Stitution, with one or two exceptions,
had to be made the team was weak
ened considerably This is not going
to be the case this season. Jack
Faber, who is in charge of the squad,
puts 1t this way, This year We shall

~ AMP LETS. Md, September
8.-Further advanced physic-
" ally than at this time Q year
ago and with q minimum of
injuries prevailing, George Washing
tons Colonials have progressed to the
satisfaction of the coaches.
Wen have an exceptionally hard
driving, aggressive team which, bar
ring injuries, should rank among the
best In the Middle Atlantic, II not In
the East" one of the coaches said.
@. w. enjoys bright prospects in the
line with the presence of eight 1888
letter men and q wealth Of husky
sophomore talent. In the backfield
the material Is comparatively mex
perienced, but offsets this somewhat
by aggreSSiVeneSS.
Tuffy Leemans, triple-threat half
back, and Ben Plotnicki, quarterback,
are the only backs apparently close to
certain assignments. On the front
line Bill Parrish and Arnold Bene-
field appear now to be the starters
on the f1anks.
Half Dozen Big Tackles
ok tackles passing the 200-pound
y mark are waging q fierce fight
for recognition. They are Capt.
Ed Clark and Harry Deming, 1888
stars, and Dale Prather, Ed Watts,
Bert Cannefax and Frank Lee. Eight
guards, including Hank Strayer and
Sid Kolker, letter men, are battling
just as desperately. Red Rathjen Is
striving against Bernie witucki and
Tom Privot for the center post.
Leemans is threatened by Cecil Nc
Gibbony, Herb Reeves and Pete Lind.
Reeves also is fighting for the call
at right half along with Horace Petit
and Joe Trinastich. Plotnicki faces
stern competition from George Jen-
kins and Frank Kavalier, and the last
mentioned, if unsuccessful in the sig
nal-calling battle, will try to gain
the fullback job. Other flllback can
didates are Bill Brewer, Ray Hanken

utter sweet phrases when he's In

" OCAL college foot ball coaches
seem well satisfied with the
progress of their squads during
the first week of practice. At
least, they either bave publicly or
privately so expressed themselves. So
far, Of course, the workouts have been
devoted largely to the teaching of
plays and fundamental conditioning,
with some blocking and charging and
the really difficult grind will not
begin until toward the middle of this
week. But even so, with the practice
OF last Spring, coaches know better
where they stand perhaps than one
ordinarily might consider possible.
Not much information has come
from the George Washington training
camp, but one of the Colonial coaches
just before leaving told friend, I'VE
have six great backs and some of the
best nnemen we ever have had, and
we'll be stronger, much stronger, than
anybody expects us to be-" Whether
or not this represents Jim Pixlee'S
sentiment is not known.

HIJACKERS LOOT
TOBACCO TRUCK
Steal Big Cargo---Abandon
Machine---Carry Off
The Driver

A large tobacco truck from Char
lotte, N. c., was found abandoned
and looted of part of it's cargo on
the Belvedere road near erryville,
early Monday morning. Sheriff
Buckworth investigated when in
formed of the discovery which was
made by an Elkton newspaperman,
w. Earle Jacobs.
The truck, one of the Hroton Line
of Charlotte, was bound for Phila-
delphia and Chester, Pa, papers
found in it showed.
The newspaperman,- CHANGING
upon the abandoned truck early
Monday morning, said it contained
only some smoking and chewing to-
bacco. This led to the theory it had
been hijacked of quantity of cigar
cites OF other tobaccos. The driver
was later found.
There was evidence that another
truck had been backed up to the
looted vehicle. A jack handle had
been used to break the lock on the
back of the truck The broken lock
was found in the road.
The truck was found about mile
off the Philadelphia road, in the
vicinity of ferryville.
The driver of the truck, Luther
w. johnson, lives at 1917 st. Paul
Street, Baltimore. He told the po-
lice at Elkton that he was bound for
Philadelphia from Baltimore, when
small car forced his heavy truck
and trailer from the road. Three
men, who were in the car, jumped to
the running board of the truck, and
one held a gun in his face while the
others blindfolded him.
They then held him prisoner in
his truck while it was driven off.
About fifteen minutes later, the
truck was stopped, and johnson, he
related, heard another truck backed
up to his and part of his cargo trans
ferred. The second truck drove off,
and Johnson, his hands and feet
bound with wire, was placed in the
bandit machine.
He was driven about for an hour,
he said, and finally dumped out in a
woods near Abingdon. When he
managed to extricate himself he tel
ephoned police and his employers at
Philadelphia, The Horton Motor
Lines.
