BY ROD THOMAS,

years, two OF whom never lalo
~ hand to pigskin until they
Joined up at the University of Mary
land, are expected to do a lot Of
helping when the Old Liners tackle
o stiff schedule this Fall.
They are Mike Surgent. an end;
Bill Wolfe, guard; Bill De Armey. CEN
ter; Bob Walter. center; Blair Smith,
end, and Knocky Thomas, back.
Those seven years are divided: Sur
gent, /; Wolfe, 8; De Armey, 2; Wal
ton, none; Smith, l, and Thomas,
none.
All are rated now as reserves, but
two are pushing regulars SO hard they
may land on the first team. Surgent,
O 190-pounder, is making Lou Ennis
give the works to remain a regular
at end and Wolfe, a running guard,
Is pushing Charley Callahan.
With Bill Andorka, the flrst-string
center, and De Armey and Walter as
requirements, Maryland is better fixed
in this spot than it has been in many
years. De Armey, a converted full
back, Is the heaviest center Mary
land ever has had. Andorka weighs
168. The biggest first-stringer the
Old Liners ever played at center was
Zeke Bailey, more than a decade ago,
and Zeke not only was the heftiest,
but the best snapperback ever to
wear the Black and Gold. Walton,
in appearance, is a ringer for Bailey,
except that he weighs perhaps is
pounds less than Zeke scaled.
Thomas. kid brother of the Knocky
who starred in the Maryland backfleld
10 years ago. is understanding Bill
Guckeyson at left halfback. They call
him Little Knocky," but he weighs
157. and Big Knocky" in his foot
ball days weighed only l53. Knocky
the Second is taller.
Maryland's regular fullback, John
Gormley, the best Terrapin blocking
back since Al Woods, is out for prob
ably two weeks With an injured shoul-
der Otherwise the squad is in good
trim.
Deeming Of G. w. Hurt.
HARRY DEFINING. held-goal ex-
pert, crack tackle and captain
Of the George Washington team, came
up from Camp Let's today to have an
X-ray made of his ribs, a couple of
which may have been cracked in
scrimmage yesterday. Somebody must
have whammed him nightly. for
Deeming is 235-pounder sans fat.
Line Coach Len Walsh today re-
vealed the first definite information
concerning the Colonials' starting line
UP when he named seven forwards
whom he declared to be the best in
their positions at this stage Of train
ing. Excepting a guard. Ted Cot
tingham, the array is composed of
veterans.
= Walsh selected Hank Wonder
Bruegge at left end; Deming, left
tackle; Sid Kolker, left guard; Red
Rathjen, center; Cottingham, right
guard; Dale Prather, right tackle.
and Alb Wright, right end.
This line functioned with encourag-
Ing SnloothneSs in yesterdays intra-
varsity scrimmage, its blocking and
speed both gratifying Walsh who in
sists always on perfection in these
respects Big holes we're opened for
the backs while the down field block
ing was first rate with the result that
Tuffy LeemanS and Ben Plotnicki
scored touchdowns standing up after
80 and 40 yard runs.
Tim Stapleton, doughty little sopho-
more guard, may break into the line
up. A fiery Irishman, Tim is fretting
over a busted finger.
Backf1eld Coach Bill Reinhart Is
experimenting with a small army of
ball toters and the competition is
fierce. LeemanS is the only certain
starter. Plotnicki has come forward
with a rush and may chase joey
Kaufman out of the place that was
planned for him as Leemans' running
mate. While Frank Kavalier, veteran
fullback, is nursing an injured shoul-
der his job Is being handled salts
factorily by the sophomore, Ross
Marshall, who banged away yesterday
for substantial gains. Ray Hanken,
another veteran, finds his halfback
job endangered by the scintillating
play Of Herb Reeves Of the 1884 re-
serves.
