Dewitt, Bulls Sci
For Annual Tilt
BY GARRETT WATERS

A line That averages 114 POUNDS
and a backfield totaling 1863 pounds
in average weight.
That's the assignment the Dewitt
Prep eleven has before it today
in its annual game with Bulls
Prep, scheduled at the Central
Stadium at 3 p. m.
The Bulls footballers are big
and talented and rightly so. Every
performer on the roster packs
previous experience, due to partici-
patton on the gridiron in various
high school sections of the coun-
try.
The boys stay at Bulls only one
year. Their destination from their
alma mater" is the U. S. Naval
Academy. The football group there
fore usually is big, and as said,
their talent of the highest order.
Royal Battle
Today the team is expected to
give Dewitt a royal battle. The
squad will go on the field with
out the presence of Ed Hahnfeld,
triple threat backfield star. But
Lu Beebe is primed to fill the
bill and Coach Pat Maloney be-
lieves the lad will give a good
account of himself.
The remainder Of the lineup
will include Joe McF'adden, quar-
terback; Cliff Lenz and Howard
Montgomery, halfbacks; Don Arm
stead and Bud Ford, ends; Don
Vogts and Ray Hastings, tackles;
George liner and Ted Britton,
guards, and Don Bone, center
all we'll known to prep school
footballers, particularly to Dev-
lit.
Of this group, Armstead and
McFadden weigh the lightest.
The former tips the beams at
$50. the latter 158.
Won Three Games
Bulls has won three games
this season in four played. Roose-
welt was defeated as a starter,
ID to 0. National Training
School was trounced 26 to 0 and
Woodrow Wilson showed under,
36 to 0. Massanutten gave the
Silver Springers their lone loss,
6 to 0.
Devitt's lineup, in contrast, will
be formidable, though not quite
as hefty. Many former local
high school stars grace the roS-
ter.
Gus Papanicolas, formerly of
Roosevelt High, is at guard. Moe
Shulman, all-high at Tech last
year, is at center while Frank Witt,
of Roosevelt, is a tackle; Charles
Arnold, Central, at end; Billy Cat
tell, Eastern, at quarterback;
eileen Shaw, also of Eastern, at
right half; Ed Lyman, of Roose'
velt, at left half, and Lee Fones
George Washington High, at full
Other talented players are How
ard Fields, at left end, from
Lorain, Ohio; Fred Pascale, slH
foot, 18O-pound tackle from Grover
Cleveland High, of Brooklyn, N
Y. and Ben Cohen, South Philly
triple threat back.
Others Prepare
While the Devitt-Bullis game
holds down the spotlight momen
tarily today, several other local
elevens will prime for important
tilts tomorrow.
Eastern and Tech are two who'll
put on final touches for their very
crucial interhigh fray, scheduled

Two Of the flashieSt backfields
in Southern football clash when
Maryland entertains V. M. I. at
College Park Saturday in the Old
Liners Homecoming game.
v. M. I. with Andy Trzeciak,
sensational passing, running and
kicking soph, oscar Saunders and
Bud Kovar, other rockies, and Billy
Robertson and Jim Beard, veteran
letter men, will strive to match
Maryland's great Bill Guckeyson,
Jim Meade, Coleman Headley,
Charlie Ellinger and John Corn
ley. Maryland's array is more eX-
perienced, with Meade being the
only soph in the five.
Wide-Open Duel
Both, too, have strong lines, but
it will be the wide-open offensive
duel that should thrill the fans.
Maryland has made the game
doubly attractive to the fans by
pricing the best seats at $1.10
and installing bleachers at SIS
cents.
A varied program has been ar
ranged for the old grads, starting
at 10 o'clock in the morning and
ending with the homecoming ball
in Ritchie Coliseum.
Both Maryland and V. M. I. are
playing winning football. The Old
Liners have won five of seven
games this season and the Cadets
have grabbed their last three at
the expense of Virginia, Richmond
and William and Mary.
Guckeyson Gets Vote
Bill Guckeyson, Maryland's ace
halfback, got the votes Of the
Richmond fans for an All-America
berth when they saw him wreck
a strong University of Richmond
team last Saturday with two S.
yard runs for touchdownS. One
came after punt and the other
from a fake kick play. He also
gained a lot of other ground, did
his bit fully on defense, and made
G41oO dNCACN w JCSA StC
from the line Of scrimmage. He
had the Richmond lickerS SO
afraid to boot the ball in the air
that they we're slicing it from 10
to 20 yards to be sure to put it
out Of bounds.
Maryland's team came out Of
the Richmond game last week in
unusually good shape and should
be in the best trim it has been
since going into the Syracuse bat
tie on October "a when it opposes
v. M. I. at College Park Saturday.
Jim Meade, soph, and Coleman
Headley, veteran ace backs who
have been retarded by knee in
jurieS in the past two games,
should be nearly 100 per cent
again by the time the Cadets are
battled. They, along with the
other regulars, will be given only
enough work this week to keep
them in condition.

By Marie BLIZZARD
g lass NEA seras.. he

THAT wasn't exactly reasSuring,
u and later that day Linda re-
membered little things about
Thorne's eyes, quirk at the corner
of his mouth when he had said it..
She felt the beginning of a disquiet-
ing cloud of doubt that was to grow
with time.
AS she had expected, one of the
telephone messages she had ignored
the day before told her that there
was change of plans and the COM
pany was poStponing the trip to
San Jacinto until the next week. If
only she had seen it. she might have
avoided that trip and would not now
be worrying lest it become known
and destroy her. Because destroy
her it would. She was too impor-
tant to be able to stand breath of
scandal Only unimportant people
could afford that in the movie COL
ony where discretion was an obliga-
ton.
1t was too much for Linda to keep
to herself. She didn't intend to tell
Dix, but when he told her he had
been telephoning her the night be-
fore, she told him the whole story,
hoping and knowing that he would
believe her.
But why be so upset about it?"
Dix asked in his lazy way.
IF you must know, Dix, I don't
trust Thorne. He isn't exactly a
gentleman, and I have reason to be-
lieve that he isn't to be trusted
There we're several things Linda
hadn't told Dix. yet she expected
and wanted him to share her feel
ing about Thorne.
INK grasped her by her elbow
- and looked into her eyes,
Did he make love to you last
night?" he demanded.
Linda loved that. He was jea-
lous.
mo, he only proposed to me-"
He let her go. "Then that's all
right. I think you've got him all
wrong. just forget it, Linda"
The unpleasant thought occurred
to her that Dix really didn't care
whether Thorne had made love to
her or not. that his anxiety was
only that she might have spoiled
things for him. She dismissed the
thought as unfair and untrue.

Her thoughts just then concerned
nothing more romantic than a hot

food and heavenly coffee. And Basil
Thorne expected her to be roman
