Maryland U. Faces
Penn, October 2
BY FRANK BUCK O'NEILL

The future at University of
Maryland-the football future to
be .Sure--is framed in conditionals.
II a lot of the boys report for
football practice on time; II the
boys report in condition to start
hard work for a season that will
test the strength and the boys
love for football, then everything
will be all right. But If some of
the disquieting tales are true that
some boys will not return, twill
be just too bad.
Maryland plays 10 games this
season. Included in the schedule
are University of Pennsylvania
and Penn State. The Terps
tackle Penn at Philadelphia on Oc-
tober Q. They mingle with Penn
State at State College on Novem.
Der 10. Some time has elapsed
since Maryland battled either of
these teams.
The rest Of the schedule fea-
lures teams that are established
rivals Of Maryland, including Flor
ida, Western Maryland, Virginia
and Georgetown, among others.
EXPECT TEN VETERANS
According to preseason esti-
mates, 10 Of last years letter men
are expected to report. One of
them, Frank De Armey, a center
converted into a blocking back
last year, will not be available for
heavy duty until some time in No
vember. De Armey went under
the knife this summer and is not
yet fully recovered from the or
deal.
The other nine letter men who
will play for Maryland, according
to expectations are: Blair Smith,
Nick Budkoff and John Nc
Carthy, ends; Bill Wolfe and
Mike Surgent. guards; Bob Wal
ton, center; Jim Meade, Charlie
Weidinger and Waverly Wheeler,
backs.
Adam Bangoechea is one Of the
casualties Of summer. He fell from
a ladder and fractured both arms,
thus ending his activities for the
year. He will return to college
and devote his time to study and
cheering on the athletes in their
games. Alex Males, guard; John
Page and Ed Egnell, reserve
tackles; John Carliss and Bill San
ders, ends, will be back for sew.
eral reasons.
FROSH MOVE
A number Of promising young.
sters will move up from the
freshman squad of last season.
Bob Brown and Ralph Alberine
may do very nicely as tackles; Ed
Lloyd, Tom Finlayson and George
Lawrence are better-than-average
guards, while Frank Beamer is
big enough and fast enough to do
right well as an end.
Jack Boyda will be a good re.
placement at center if, indeed,
he does not win the post. Charlie
Norton, Pershing Mondorff and
Frank Skotnicki will be good half
backs. Bob Brandt and Johnnie
Jones also are good halfbacks.
These boys moving up to the
varsity squad are well grounded in
Maryland football. The TerTapins
play Warner football, depending
almost entirely upon the wide and
slashing attack made possible by
the double wingback formation.
Occasionally the Terrapins deploy
in single wing, but for the most |
part they stick to the other forma.
