~ A wide-open, spectacular game
~ of foot ball when Navy and

Hamilton, who said the Navy would

good kicking and swift shots for a
score.
He said that Notre Dame plays a de-
ceptive open game and that Navy
would have to open up with everything
in its bag of tricks to offset the attack.
Hamilton put his team to work on
its kicking game yesterday and spent
time on polishing its play. He gave
the players some rough work, staging

grid battles, however. always have
been dog fights, and this promises to
be no exception, despite the high rat
ing OF the Mountaineers, who have
lost only to Pittsburgh in seven
games, and the injury-weakened Hill
toppers. Since their rivalry began
each team has won four games, and
a ninth ended in a tie. The last time
they played, 1888, the game ended
with West Virginia winning a 14-to-12
victory.
The Hoyas pitched their camp in
Fairmont because, literally, there was
no room for them in Morgantown
The game tomorrow is the big one of
the year for the Mountaineers, who
have made it their homecoming. The
little town of Morgantown already is
filed to capacity, and included among
the visitors are $500 West Virginia

Start Game Tomorrow
in Richmond.

u II ARYLAND'S foot ball team
!" will go to Richmond tomor-
WI row to play the University
Of Richmond Spiders with
considerably more hope than was
entertained during the early part Of
the week.
Donning grid suits for the first
time since the Florida game last Sat-
urday, the injured ball-carrying aces
Bill Guckeyson and Jim Meade
showed exceptional spryness and will
start the contest in the Virginia cap
ital.
The four days rest worked wonders
with the two clever halfbacks, and
the cooler weather did much to re-
vive the entire Old Line squad.
ONLY Blair Smith, the regular
right end, is left on the injured
list. Nick Budkoff, 186-pound soph-
omore, will take his place.
This means that six seniors, three
juniors and two sophomores will start
the Richmond game
The probable starting lineup is:
Ends, Willis and Budkoff; tackles,
Fletcher and Birkland; guards, Wolfe
and Surgent; center, Walton; quar-
terback, Ellinger; halfbacks, Meads
and Guckeyson; fullback, Gormley.
The entire Maryland squad of 20
will be taken to Richmond, leaving by
bus early tomorrow morning. The
Old Liners will make their head
quarters at the John Marshall Hotel.

Lightning Stroke Kills
Alexandria Girl in

Undaunted by hand burns re-

lightning bolt last night, Senator
Vic Donahey CD of Ohio. re-
sumed his fishing today on Chesa-
peake Bay off Solomon's Island
in almost the exact spot where
his craft was anchored at the
time of the soaring flash.
Another and less fortunate vic
tim of yesterdays storm. how.
ever lay dead in Alexandria.
The Alexandria girl, Frances
Moriarity, died on the spot when
an electrical discharge from the
heavens crashed along a metal
clothes line on which she was re-
moving garments in the yard Of
her home in the $500 block Of
Duke St., Alexandria.
Bystander Shocked
The 17-year-old victim was
rushed to the Alexandria Hospital,
only to be pronounced dead. A
companion, Mrs. Jessie Gatewooo,
who was standing near the vic
tim, was stunned by the bolt.
Miss Moriarity was the daugh.
ter of Henry Moriarity. an EN-.
.ploye of an Alexandria lumber
company.
The lightning which hit the Cat
fish, boat occupied by Senator
Donahey and a fishing party,
blinded its captain and knocked
the statesman to the deck. He
was unconscious for several min
utes and complained of his right
side feeling numb.
The boat, which the Senator
had chartered to take him to the
fishing grounds, was near the
mouth of the Patuxent River
when the storm suddenly APP
peared with it's lightning crashes
and high wind.
Donahey was helping Capt.
Will Hayden to hold the wheel in
their efforts to reach port.
The lightning, which ran down
a guy wire leading to the wheel,
stunned Hayden's left side just
as it stunned the Senator's
right side. While Donahey fell
unconscious, Hayden said he was
only dazed and blinded for few
minutes. Others aboard the Cat
fish were not hurt.
Tells Of Shock
Donahey said his hands turned
blue from the shock and remained
that way for quite some time. He
said:
81 couldn't understand it for
q moment; I didn't know what
struck me.
THE first thing I realized I
was on the deck. My side was
numb. Then people began help
ing me to my feet and knew it
was not serious.
my stomach was upset and
was stunned for a half hour
but I now feel very little i'll eff
