INJURIES HAMPER BOSTON COLLEGE FOR W. M. GAME
DObie Has Good Reason to Mourn Since Season
 Started

Boston, Nov. 4.-Boston College with the Boston College casualty list mounting with every game and reaching the unprecedented total of nine following the North Carolina State debacle, Gil Dobie faces Q tre- lnendous task of gathering @ team of Eagles in top condition for their flight to Baltimore this week tc meet Western Maryland.
 Begging down after the scoreless tie with Temple on Columbus Day, 1t can truthfully be said that in- juries have raised havoc with the B. 0. chances that were so highly regarded in preseason notices throughout the East. First came Q knee injury to Ralph Worth; and then in order Fella GintoR, Ira Jiv- elekian, Ern.e Schwotzer, Leo Rear don were rendered 'hors de combat. In the Wolfpack game Horsefall left early with a couple of bruised ribs; Andy Bismarck bruised his leg: Vito Ananis banged his shoulder and Capt. Tony DiNatale suffered a charley horse.
 The unimpressive B. O. record to date reads two wins, two defeats and one tie, and the only hopes of saving the season from complete destruction rests in the ability to win the remaining four games. The immediate problem at hand Is to line up il men for the Western Maryland game. McFadden and Veronica seem set at ends, as do Frank Connolly and Janasus at tackles. Leo Reardon who was kept out of the State game due to a chest cold, and Ernie Schwetzer, sidelined for the past two weeks be- cause of bruised shoulder, may be ready to take up their guard posi- tons agains the Maryland team. In case they are not ready, Kissell and Holland are on hand. Leo Logue, who has carried so nobly at center in place of the injured Worth, is a fixture at center. His playing this season has been one of the high lights of an otherwise drab exhibi- ton by the Dobiemen. His tackle of "Buzzer" Berlinski, in the third period Saturday saved 6 possible touchdown, and was regarded by the sporting fraternity of Boston as one of the best pieces of work ever seen in the Hub.
 The backfield presents a real problem. Tony DiNatale should be ready but in case he isn't, Charlie Mccarthy will have to be inserted some place because of his booting prowess. His coffln-corner procl!v- ities against N. 0. were uncanny. Horsfall, who gave the Eagles their great start by his choice of plays !n the first quarter, and scored their first points since the Kansas State game, should be ready by the middle of the week. He is hard as nails and a mere thing like 8 couple Of bruised ribs will not keep him inac- tive. Guinea, who galloped 77 yards in the early part of the N. c. game and later cavorted down the Side- lines for 7l and a score, which was nullified when an official ruled he stopped outside on the 42. is set for
 
 his right half or wing back position.
 It is the left half or tailback spot that cause the riost suspense at the moment. Injuries at this place have come so thick and fast that it has been termed the "suicide slot" Gin- to, JivslekIan. Bismarck and Ananis have been casualties and the B. c. game at the end saw Flick Cum. mings, a third-stringer, filling in.
 However. all will not be lost # B. c. can take the remaining four games. Western Maryland and Kentucky were handed severe jolts in their last games; M. Q. eked out a close decision over Washington U. at the end and Holy Gross was lucky to escape the Temple clash with a scoreless tie.
