the clash with the TerpS, and this
despite the fact that the Hoyas
have been hard hit by injuries
these past two weeks.
Terps Ready For Issue
In practice yesterday, Maryland
looked the part of a team ready
for the issue. The iron men OF
the Terps- Surgeon and Wolfe,
guards; Willis, end, and Btrk-
land, tackle-were on the job, and
they have played practically every
minute of every game this season.
The Terps looked in top spirits,
had plenty Of speed and zip, and
altogether stacked up as a foot
ball team which will be hard to
beat.
GEORGETOWN is perfecting a for
ward pass defense for the Mary
land game. Against Manhattan.
last weekend, the Hoyas looked
none too good against a wen-exe-
cuted overhead attack. Hoya
coaches are going to make sure
between now and Saturday, that
Georgetown has a pass defense to
check Willis, Maryland's towering
end, who can grab 'em out Of the
air a Ia basketball.
Up to the Manhattan game
Georgetown was team OF op'

the Hoyas were so alert against
the forward pass that three OF the
Moutaineers heaves resulted IN

team, especially prepared to de-
fend against the pass as George
town was prepared for the West
Virginia game, certainly can be
especially prepared for an over
head such as Maryland has.

The Hoyas probably will start
Tony Barabas, Bob Nolan, joe
