COlOnialS in Bad Shape.

STILL reeling from its lacing by
Alabama, G. w. finds it necessary
to throw all its resources into a game
1t arranged for breather before
meeting West Virginia, which comes
here week from tomorrow.
Jim Pixlee probably will start the
same team that opened against Ala
bama, but said last-minute switch
may be made. The men who battled
the Crimson Tide, with few exceptions,
are nursing minor hurts.
Kenneth Rathjen, whose heroic de-
fensive play probably prevented a
larger Alabama score and who was
sent to the hospital direct from the
field, will return to action tonight
though not with the hearty indorse-
ment Of his physician. Tuffy Lee
mans, Alb Wright, Hollis Harrison and
Capt. Harry Deming, all of whom,
with Rathjen, were withheld from
scrimmage this week, will play, but will
be benched if the Colonials gain a
fairly safe lead.
Catawba presents the strongest team
In its history, one that trampled three
opponents and scored ITO points against
8. A tip-od on the strength of the
Redskins Is the fact that little
Caesar" Cesareo, the dynamic back
who troubled the Colonials so much
IN 1882 and 1888, is unable to win q
regular position. A freshman named
Sam Pritchard has relegated Cesareo
to the reserve group.
Pritchard, with "Ole Joe" Clark. a
junior, from brilliant triple-threat
combination, we hear, and aligned
with them in the backfield are the
leading scorer of North Carolina, Ellis
Meehan. quarterback, and a rough,
tough fullback, Tony Maggiolo.
A Standout in the line is pound
Ed Garland who is fast enough to
play offensive end and snag passes,
which are thrown with equal facility
by Pritchard and Clark.
At Z o'clock the Merrick and North
east Boys Club will play a Junior
Colonial League game.
Hoyas Change Lineup.
JACK HAGERTY will make four
changes in the lineup that started
for Georgetown against Albright.
Johnny Franks a spirited player re-
Gently converted from an end to
guard, will replace Fred Tehaan, who
is injured. Al Vaccaro will start at
tackle in place of Cy Cummings, John
Cavadine will supplant Joe Williams
at erd and Co-Capt. Walter Heron
will play halfback in place of Bill
Duff.
Tommy Keating, who gained some
much-needed experience at quarter
back in the Albright game, again will
start as barker, but probably will give
way to Bob Nolan when Georgetown
opens its passing attack. Co-Capt.
Joe Meglen will play fullback and
Bob Ferrara half.
Heron still is handicapped by a
slowly recovering broken toe, but Is
expected to be more efficient tomorrow
than in the short time he faced Al
bright. His blocking should be a
great help to the Hoyas.
Hagerty was to send his men through
o short dummy scrimmage today with
the freshmen using Roanoke plays.
Maryland in Top Form.
MARYLAND, pronounced 100 per
A cent physically and 200 per cent
mentally" after yesterdays practice in
tuneing up its varied offense, merely
was to take slant at North Cardinals S
offense this afternoon as its final
prepping gesture.
Maryland's starting lineup will be
different in three places than that
which began against v. P. I. last week.
Bernie Buscher will be at right end,
John Gormley at full and Charlie
Ellinger at right half. Lou Ennis and
Ed DAILY, though, are rated on a par
with Buscher and Gormley in their
respective positions, but the other two
started last week and 1t Is the turn OF
the latter two. All four will see plenty
Of service.
Ellinger has shown such prowess in
practice that he earned the starting
honor.
