CONDITION GOOD
INTERPRETATION.
By FRANK BUCK O'NEILL

AL Haringer, varsity center OF
the George washington University
football eleven, was resting com
fortably today following an emer'
gency operation at George Wash
ington University Hospital last
night. Attaches at the hospital
said that Haringer's condition
was satisfactory" He will be lost
to the team for the duration OF
the season.
Haringer, according to an
nouncement from George Wash
ington University, was stricken
yesterday with a severe stomach
attack. He was rushed to the hos
pital where his illness was dag
nosed as gall bladder trouble. It
was feared that there might be
appendix complications.
It was hoped at first that Ha-
ringer would be able to rejoin the
squad after several days, but as
his condition grew steadily worse,
he was rushed to the operating
room.
This latest casualty is most Sc
we're. Jim Pixiee and his associ-
ates' on the George Washington
coaching staff had counted heavily
upon Haringer to play center. He
was steady and reliable in feeding
the ball to the backs. His passes
were swift and on line, but easy
to handle.
COTTINGHAM TO CENTER
In the emergency, Bochy Koch
will move Ted Cottingham to the
center position. Cottingham has
played center on occasion and
has acquitted himself with credit.
It is possible that Guy Renzaglia
may be shifted to the snapper.
back post.
University of Maryland is ex-
pecting no soft touch when it
comes to grips with st. Johns
College on Saturday at College
Park. The Johnnies have a vast
ly better team than last year, &C.
cording to reports from Maryland
and Annapolis, and in Johnny
Lambros, have one of the crack
passing backs of the Eastern Dor
der. In fact, Maryland fears
Lambros" more than Stagg feared
Purdue in the old days, if you lis
ten to the boys at College Park.
In the meanwhile Frank DodSon
is going ahead, working slowly but
carefully with his men in every
department of the game. Jim
Meade was taken to one side and
lectured on pass defense yester-
day, and in a scrimmage batted
down the "St. Johns" aerials in
fine style.
There is a fine, healthy rivalry
between Maryland and st. Johns.
This will be the thirty-fourth meet
ing of the teams and the chances
are that the teams will clash as
long as the colleges stand.
SINGING THE BLUES
Dutch Bergman is really singing
the blues in fine style this morn
ing. He had only few men to
start the season, and accidents
have a way of hitting small squads
hardest. Fred Slant, reserve
guard who was scheduled to play
about SO per cent of the time, was
stricken with appendicitis, and
went to Norfolk tor an operation
This cuts the squad down to
boys size. You talk to Bergman
about reserves and he merely
shakes his head and tells you that
there are no reserves.
Nick SarelaS and Johnny Florei'
limo, fullback and quarterback re-
spectively, are laboring under
handicap of injuries, and cannot
be driven at top speed.
In the meanwhile, the squad Is
pointing to the game with CAM;
sius College on next Sunday, ano
Bergman is hoping for the best.
The Hoyas of Georgetown move
swiftly along toward one OF their
good teams of recent years. The
Blue and Gray bids fair to have
a team that will match the best
through the air. Heating, Keegln
and Bob Nolan are going great
guns, and if you want tip on a
real good back, watch Keegln.
