land yet may determine the
true relative strength of two
OF Washingtons major elevens.
Anyway, an overnight thought,
after watching yesterdays technically
informal scrap at College Park. is
that no matter what the coaches may
be trying to achieve the players them
selves are bent upon species of
victory.
Several warriors on both sides today
were nursing hurts that might have
been avoided in ordinary scrimmage.
Washington may not see regulation
game this Fall as hard fought as the
informal one yesterday between the
Terps and Cards.
Whatever faults the coaches may
have found they learned at least one
thing to their satisfaction. Neither
Maryland nor C. U. this season will
want for spirit. The Brookland and
C:llege Park teams are entering the
1885 campaign with pink outlooks
and plainly are determined to make
much of their opportunities.
VIII Go 1t Again.
A FTER being run through and
around regularly in three scrim-
images, Maryland added several stand
ard Terrapin plays to its repertoire for
yesterdays workout and the results
were marked. During most of the time
the first stringers were dominant in
both line-ups the Terrapins held an
upper hand. keeping the Cards well
within their own territory. Toward
the end c. u, still with strong back
or two in action, scored against pack
of third stringers. BY that time,
though, the serious business was over

Its double wing-back formation and
this wrought the improvement over its
previous sessions with c. u, in which
it tried out new stuff. Likely there
will be more loosening up by both
teams when they get together again.

advanced in running plays, they may
be expected to experiment with passes.
G. w. Looks for Better Attack.

a rugged freshman team.

Improved blocking in line and
backield has created optimism in the
Colonial ranks With an increased
coaching staff this Fall the Colonials
have had more detailed instruction in
fundamentals, and last years sopho-

fine points so essential to success in

Speedier blocking from the running

where they reach the scrimmage line.
Stumbling and hating interference
that sometimes was conspicuous in
1884 should be eliminated this year if
current practices are true indications.
