GAMES AT 2:3O

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Nays football machine will
stand down the chalk lined field
at Thompson Stadium in Annap-
oils this afternoon, inaugurating
a new season. Co-celebrants with
the MidShipmen will be the eleven
warriors of William and Mary, who
come to Crabtown on the Bay an
nually hopeful of working major
upset before the season really has
gotten under way. Just once in a
dozen games did the MonarchS
sink the Navy.
AS Nays -Four N" yell rings
over the Severn, University OF
Maryland will go into action at
College Park in it's first test game
of the season against the eleven of
st. Johns College in Annapolis.
There is more riding on this game
than just the result, but more of
this later.
Both Navy and Maryland will
go into action at 2::30 o'clock.
IVES IDLE
Across the land football elevens
launch their seasons. Still bound
by their three-party agreement,
Yale, Harvard and Princeton are
idle, but on next Saturday they
will start thei ractivities. The SEN
eral interest in the day does not
suffer by this inactivity of these
ivy universities.
Presenting a late November
game before the men have had
time to perfect their assignments,
Ohio State and Texas Christian
University clash in the great sta
dunn at Columbus. No game Of
the season holds higher promise
OF smashing deeds than this meet
ing of the Scarlet and Gray and
Blue and White.
University of Iowa leaves the
boundaries of the Big Ten" to
fare forth to Seattle, where Uni
verSity of Washington's Huskies
await their coming. Minnesota
will play host to North Dakota
State at Minneapolis, and at the
same time down in Madison Harry
Stuhldreher's Wisconsin eleven
will tackle South Dakota State.
BEARS PLAY
On the Sunset Slope, Califor-
MAS Golden Bears mingle with
the Galloping GaelS of little st.
Mary'S College, who leave the Sc.
curity Of Moraga's hills to invade
Berkeley. st. Mary's can be de-
pended upon to give the Bears a
thorough test. Stanford will try
to saddle the Bronchos of Santa
Clara. Last year the Bronchos
bucked off the Indians to the tune
Of Is to 0.
More conservative is the sched-
ule for the South and East.
In the Southern Conference
Duke will face Virginia Polytech-
mic Institute in a night battle at
Greensboro. University of North
Carolina will surge across the neu-
trail zone against University Of
South Carolina, while the govern.
ors OF the States will doubtless
make the usual observations.
DEACONS PLAY
Wake Forest will tune up for its
battle With George Washington by
invading Knoxville to clash with
University of Tennessee. Ten
nesSee, according to the most ex-
pert opinion in the South, has a
fine chance to win the champion
slip Of the Southeastern Confer
ence.
In the East, Dartmouth's slash
ing eleven, rebuilt from end to
quarterback, will try it's simple
maneuvers against the eleven Of
Bates at Hanover. Cornell will
tackle Sterner opposition in Penn
State. Pitt will meet Ohio Wes-
leyan, and with every indication
OF a great team, the movements of
the Panther will be closely OBJ
served.
Returning to the local field one
1lndS much of interest.
NEW ATTACK
Navy starts its season with
Lieut.. Hank Hardwick in charge
OF the eleven, replacing Lieut..
Tom Hamilton. The Middies will
show a new attack, with the single
wing back as its basic formation.
The short punt has been dropped
slowly but surely and is now
among the forgotten things of
Navy football.
Bob Antrim, a great blocking
back and a great defensive star
will cover the advances of Bill
Ingram behind the charge Of a
line that is Of exceptional merit.
At Maryland Frank Dobson
initiates his own system of single
wing and short punt as his basic
formations. The TerrapinS as
usual are short on man power, but
well coached and well advanced
in the technique of the game.
To just what extent Catholic
University's depleted football
squad can take it" will be proven
within the next week.
Departing from Union Station
via the Pennsylvania this morn.
ing at TAO o'clock, the Cardinals
tomorrow afternoon are down for
