" da faces one of its most severe
foot ball tests of 1884 in Bal
timore Saturday, and the dopesters are
predicting that Maryland will avenge
its loss OF last year at the hands of
the Gators.
Florida was greatly encouraged by
its 14-to-0 win over North Carolina
State last week, however. and looks
upon the Baltimore game as $3.50
affair
Until last Saturday every team
Florida played had managed to score
points. end the Wolfpack is one of
the toughest teams the Gators have
played in a long while.
Pleasing to Coach Dutch Stanley
was the manner in which some of
the reserves played. When Welcome
Shearers arches went bad, Alton
Brown went to center and perform
Ell spectacularly. Sophomore Carlisle
Hughes started at left guard and
played a bang-up game. When Al
Hickland and Melton Ware went in
TO replace the regular tackles, Hal
Starbuck and Beefy Stark, respectively,
they came through in good style.
Sophomore Duke Warren. fullback.
also showed to advantage on both at
tack and defense. Called on to fill in
for Jack Beckwith at right half. Wal
ter Middlekauf made good. His speed
told throughout the game. and he
caught touchdown pass in the sec
ond quarter.
Beckwith will be back in readiness
for Maryland. and Stanley can go
into. the fray knowing he has two
clever men for right half and two
able men for fullback. Beckwith is
fine passer, punter and ball carrier.
Alton Brown may take lover
Shearer's role at Baltimore. Should
the Stark-Starbuck tackle duo (452
pounds) not be ready, the Hickland-
Ware combination (463 pounds) Will
have a weight advantage, and can, in
addition, play fine foot ball.

Bergman Devises Means of
Bott|ing Manhattan's
Brilliant End.

THE chief worry OF Coach Dutch
Bergman this week as his
Catholic University foot ball
team preps for its big game
with Manhattan College Saturday in
Brooklyn is defense to bottle up the
Jaspers' busy end, Joe Gallagher. 190-
FOUNDER. who, incidentally, never
played foot ball before he enrolled at
the New York institution.
Gallagher. it seems. is a natural
athlete. He is so good that not only
has he all requisites for an end, but
can pass and punt as well. Coach
Chick Meehan uses him as a safety
man on the defense to make use of
his great speed and agility. On the
offense he is likely to bounce into the
Cardinal backfield on an end-around
play.

MILDLY RESERVES
OCCUPY HAMILTON
Navy Unable to Make Many
Substitutions Without

~ of the things Tom Hamilton
~ and his helpers are doing at
Annapolis this week in prepa-
ration for the Pennsylvania game is
an attempt to improve the reserve
material. a department in which the
Navy team has been weak up to this
time.
Against Columbia last Saturday
many substitutions were made. only
two or three of the starters staying in
for the whole game. and as rule
they did well, but Hamilton never has
been able to substitute second team
as a whole without a terrific weaken
ing
Yesterday afternoon the only scrim-
mage was between the second-strlng
team and squad B, and it ended with
out a score and with little credit to
the second stringers. The weakness
was in the line, where the B squad
forwards persistently got the jump on
their opponents and prevented much
showing by a really good backfield
. which had Schmidt at quarter, Fel-
lows and Willsie at the halves and
Manning at fullback.

he comes running at me and I

Now, I amt no hitter. you know

but Neusel was so open I could put
everything I had behind that punch
and down he goes. He barely gets up
for nine and sticks it out in that sec

Yale and Army.
A FEW DAYS ago the Navy re-
~ moved its blanket to show
n what it had. The Navy had
plenty.
On Saturday the Army will emerge
from its tent for the first real test
of the season to take shot at Yale
for the sake of old times that 60
back long way.
How good Is the Army? I asked a
Navy scout, and his report was brief
year One of the best Army teams
I've looked at"
Yale ought to be ready by Saturday
to prove or disprove this Navy check
up. While the Army has been romp-
ing along minus any heavy pressure,
Yale has been tested under fire of
guns from Columbia. Pennsylvania
and Brown with three pretty fair
shots under the blue belt And Yale
has come pretty fair distance since
her first stand against Columbia, con-
Sidering the Brown affair
The Army marches into New Haven
with two of the games best backs in
Buckler and Stancock, who can play
foot ball for anybody and get along
But it will take the Yale game to
show just how much the Army has,
and Yale should be strong enough
to give good line on the West Point
situation.

No Navy, Terp Dissension.

TOR some unaccountable reason,
there has developed in some sec
tions the idea, at least so ex-
pressed, that there has been and is
some disSension between Maryland
and Navy over lack of a decision by
one of the officials in the game at
Annapolis October 49, Actually there
never has been and is not any such
dissension, and so far as is known no
person at Maryland has ever raised
any question about the foot ball game
with Navy
The particular play referred to is
said to have been shown in a motion
picture taken of the game, in which
play it is alleged that Navy end on
his way to a touchdown stepped cut
of bounds and therefore was given a
touchdown which he should not have
had The play. it is said, was particu-
larly aggravating because an official
was right on the heels Of the Navy
man.
In this connection. II seems peculiar
that with Maryland players all around
the Navy man. who had caught for
raised some objection at the time.
Defensive players are quick to note
when an opponent is outside and if
the Navy man had stepped outside it
certainly seems that Marylanders
would have at the time raised serious
question as to the legality of the play.
As far as Marylanders are con-
cerned. Navy won a fine game of foot
ball and should be given all the credit
for doing it. It is true that much has
been made Of the fact that Maryland
outgained Navy both in rushing and
PASSING but it also is true that
achienement on the gridiron IS meas
ured in points scored and not in yards
gained.

washington team this year Some
think it is the best team the Colonials
have had. while others regard it as a
doubtful combination This difference
was very pronounced before the game
with Tulsa, but has been softened
somewhat since. However, even now
there are many who say that Tulsa
was weaker than in its previous meet
ing with the Colonials and that George
washington won for that reason.
Actually, and without much doubt,
George Washington is just about as
strong this year as it has ever been,
and its remaining games are likely to
give proof of it.
The Colonials have excellent ma
terial-better than any other local in
stltution-and are getting good coach
ing. and no way ever has been found
in foot ball to break down consistently
such a combination.
And. by the way, George Washing
ton has had good coaching ever since
Pixlee took charge. This is one re-
spect in which it has never failed to
measure up in any game it has played
since it came under Pixlee's direction,
with the exception of the game with
Tennessee, and, in the opinion of the
writer. Bob Neyland, who has coached
that school for eight years, is the best
foot ball coach in the United States,
without single exception. Pixlee has
done an excellent coaching job and
has handled his squads well in every
way.
