Faint Terp Hope
Of Upset Seen
In Air Play
Hoyos in Great Trim
For College Park
Fray Tomorrow
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

With the consoling knowledge it
has rolled its quota of snake-eyes for
the season, Maryland's havoc
haunted football team is poised to
gamble from the outset tomorrow
in its annual collision with George
town, fondly hoping the accurate
passes of Quarterback Charley
Weidinger will yield dividends.
Undefeated Georgetown, invading
College Park prohibitive favorite
to complete the first unblemished
record in Hoya gridiron history. will
have weight, manpoWer and speed
in its favor. Maryland, having suf-
fered the ignominy of six defeats in
seven games. will look to luck mostly
in its slim hope of registering per-
haps one of the most coveted upSets
in Terp annals.
Handling the dice will be the
clever Weidinger, hub of Marylands S
hitherto anemic attack and con-
ceded to be one of the finest passers
developed in this sector in several
seasons. The 176-pound Baltimore
boy has the dismal outlook of di-
recting his team against a sturdy
line which hasn't allowed touch
down,
Terp Stars Only to See Game.
Jim Meade, all-Southern halfback,
and Pershing Mondorff. who won
two games last year with field goals,
will view the attraction from Mary
lands bench. Meade's fractured
ankle has stripped the Terps of their
most effective running back, while
an appendectomy has eliminated the
possibility of Mondorf becoming a
threat.
Nick Budkoff. Maryland end,
doubtless will see only limited serv-
ice due to leg injury and Francis
Beamer. local lad who employed
Roosevelt High as a football incu-
bator, is expected to be the chief
target of Weidinger's aerials
Beamer played the best game of his
brief career last week as Maryland
bowed to Florida and the Hoyas
have him marked for special con-
sideration.
Georgetown. however. apparently
has superior talent and more of it.
It's Joe Mellendeck is the best all
around back of the year in this
area. a speedy, shifty runner,
lengthy punter and dangerous
passer. Joe McFadden. who scored
all of GeorgetoWn's points in the
14-0 victory over West Virginia last
week: Jules Koshlap. Jim Castielia,
Elmer Moulin. Myron Darmohray,
Charles Wychunas and Lou Ghecas
otherwise give Coach Jack Hagerty
a wealth of backfield material from
which to draw.
Hoyas Good in Line.
The Hoyas also have strength in
the line While Maryland has had
its difficulties patching one capable
eleven and sending it on the field,
Georgetown is two and three deep,
with fast, dependable men in every
position.
Missing from the Georgetown
forward wall will be Lefty Riofski.

Maryland has captured three of
the four games in the modern series,
all of which have been close. The
Terps took the first two. 60 and
