NO NEWS TODAY;
.TERPS LOSE TWO
MORE CRIDDERS
BY CHICK KENNY

If Maryland goes through 6
football game on Saturday this
year with one or more casualties
it isn't news. But if Maryland
does play a football game and
walks off the field Saturday with
out injury it is news.
So there is no news today. The
Terps have two more casualties
to add to their string, the result
of their first victory of the season
last Saturday at the expense Of a
cherished State rival, Western
Maryland College of Westminster.
Latest addition at the ever
growing hospital list of the Old
Liners are George Gienger, regu-
lar guard, and Bob Brown, regular
tackle. Gienger is out of action
for the remainder of the season,
and Brown will not be pressed
into a Maryland game for two
weeks at least.
Gienger sustained a broken
jaw while Brown injured his right
knee.
The broken.up TerpS will be
obliged to issue the call for re-
placements from the junior varsity
eleven for the impending clash
with the University of Virginia
at college Park, Saturday after
noon.
Taking over Gienger's spot at
guard will be Johnny DeArmey,
who played so spectacularly last
weekend as a substitute against
the Green Terrors. It's hard to
say who will be named to Browns
berth. It all depends on who
Coach Riggs sends UP from the
jayveeS.
One other change in the start
ing lineup is expected to be made
by Coach Frank Dobson, and this
concerns the backfield. It so hap
pens that Fred Widener played
so brilliantly at fullback against
Western Maryland that Dobson
can't keep the Baltimore sopho-
more out of the starting lineup.
He'll take over the position held
down by Johnny Boyda.
TRADITIONAL TILT
The game Saturday between
Maryland and Virginia is rapidly
growing into one of the cherished
traditional series in this section.
Washington and vicinity is a hot
bed Of Maryland and Virginia
alumni, and the game is taking On
unprecedented interest this yea
despite the fact that the Old
Liners are going nowhere fast"
Virginia is rapidly coming into its
own as a football power again
under the able tutoring Of Frank
Murray.
Virginia has not won a football
game from the TerpS since 1888,
and Cavalier alumni in this Sec
tion believe this to be a Virginia
year.
Last season Maryland travelled
to Charlottesville, and was rudely
surprised although it finally tri-
umphed when Pershing Mondorff
sent over the Virginia upright
lustry field goal to put Maryland
ahead, 3 to 0. PerShing is still
around, but he will not face Vir-
ginia, having been knocked out
for the season as a result of an
appendicitis operation.
DRAWS INTEREST
Much interest is centered on
Virginia this year due to the fact
that no less than five Cavalier
squadmen are former high school
grid luminaries in this section.
Bucky Morse, the former Western
flash, and Johnny Swank, of Alex
andria, are two local" lads ex-
pected to face the Terps.
Virginia has won two games
this season, while tieing one and
losing to the Navy. In the opener,
the Cavaliers astounded every
body by playing v. M. I. to a
1912 tie. Then followed a victory
over Washington and Lee. con-
queror of Kentucky. This triumph
was followed up by a 14-6 decision
over dreaded V. P. I. last Satur-
day.
Maryland is expected to take it
easy this week in preparation for
the invasion of the Old Dominion
eleven. The team is demoralized
because Of its wholesale bundle Of
casualties, and only the mex
haustable spirit of a gang Of pre-
season second Stringers may arise
to the occasion to thwart the in
vading Virginia eleven.
