George Washington University's
Colonials today will have their
last big workout before coming
back into washington to con-
tinue preparations for the wor-
risome Denver game on October S.
Out at College Park, Maryland's
coaches look forward to the open
ing game against Washington and
Lee with misgivings. This con-
test looms as important in a
number Of ways, but is important
most of all because Of the good
effect it will have on the Terp
youngsters should Maryland win
or the bad effect should Maryland
lose.
Along with his other worries,
GeorgetoWn's Jack Hagerty must
make the best Of a bad situation
in the matter of a playing field.
The Hoyas should pray for a
muddy field for each game on
their schedule, in view of the fact
that they will be forced to do
many of their practice drills in
the mud back of the medical
school.
Optimistic Teams
It's rather surprising-this op-
timism flashed suddenly by Amer
ican University and Gallaudet.
When one felt in the mood for
tears during these past several
years all one had to do was pro-
ceed to either American or Gal
laudet thoroughly to enjoy all the
thrills of morbidity. Now, If up
doesn't pop American U. with a
degular New Deal smile, and II
up doesn't pop Gallaudet with the
proposition that the Silents expect
a great year.
Among the Sophs who will be
watched by C. U. coaches in the
four preseason scrimmages are
Joe Anthonavage and Dick Arnold,
guards: Max Brinkman and Pete
DranginiS, quarterbacks, and AL
Secino, Bob jefferson, Joe Clio
deck and Bob Makofske, backs.
Of course, too, coaches will make
careful check on Joe Yanchuhs
and Jim Gemlo, centers. Center
is the lone spot on the Card eleven
where a soph is absolutely certain
to perform during the coming
season.
ColOniaIs In Condition
While G. w. will return to
town tomorrow far behind on
scrimmage schedule, nevertheless
the Colonials break camp this
year in far better condition than
in any previous year. Incl
dentally, a tentative first team
has been designated. This eleven
averages 200 pounds from tackle
to tackle, 1876 from end to end,
181 in the backfield, and 100 for
the team. This outfit packs a
wallop, has speed and drive, great
power, more than average agility,
all kinds of pep, and, more than
likely, is the best outfit g.. w.
ever put on the gridiron.
Due to recent inclement
weather, the advance toward pro-
ficiency of all members Of the
Big Four has been rather slow.
Georgetown probably will come
slower than the others these next
several days, because Of the un-
derfoot conditions on the, Hilltop.
Maryland and C. U. should catch
up with G. w. today, although
the Colonials today planned to
stage a long scrimmage against
the Colonial yearlings.

TONIGHT

SALON., Va, Sept. 15.-One Of
the first three games of the foot
ball season will be played here to-
night between the Roanoke Col
lege Maroons and the Elon Col
lege Christians.
Reports from both the Elon and
the Roanoke strongholds have
been anything but encouraging
for the past two weeks. After a
short preliminary practice season
of only two weeks, Coach Walker
of Elon and Coach White OF Roa-
noke declared quite emphatically
that they are anything but salts

spective elevens in this opening
game for both teams.
Indications are that the Elon
team fill trot onto the field with
a strong veteran representation
from last year in both the line
and the backfield, while Roanoke
enters with an almost entirely
new aggregation in both sectors.
