TERPS '3S Grid
INJURIES TRIPLE.
TOTAL
BY CHICK KENNY

The University Of Maryland's
shocking number Of casualties
which has put the skids on all
hopes for a successful football
season can simply be classed as
the "breakS" OF the game.
No less than nine Terrapin foot
ball players. all first-stringers in
their own right. and pride and
joy to any football mentor when
they are physically fit, have been
lost to the club since the cam
paign was inaugurated three
weeks ago.
This casualty group represents
three times the number of injured
players Maryland has had in it's
last three years.
In 1885, Johnny Gormley, hard
running fullback, was the lone
major casualty suffered by the
Terps. He was out of the lineup
for three games.
In 1886. the great halfback, Bill
Guckeyson, missed two games.
In 1887, Blair Smith, crack end
Of last seasons fine team, was
laid low for a couple of tilts.
SERIOUS CROP
And that was the extent of the
serious crop of injuries over the
three-year period. OF course there
were minor bumps and bruises
sustained in games, but this is the
first time in Coach Frank Dob
sons long coaching career as we'll
as in the recent Maryland grid
lore that such wholesale list of
injuries has been sustained.
On top of all this, two of the
nine players are out for the sea-
son, including Jim Meade, the
greatest player in local collegiate
ranks last season, and Pershing
Mondorff, the field goal specialist
and No. l back of the team.
Going down the list. exclusive of
have been Charley Weld

and Joe Murphy. laid low in the
Penn State tussle, and Nick Bud
koff, Bob Brown and Dick Shaffer,
cracked up in the Syracuse en-
counter.
"NOT LICKED YET"
Oddly enough, all these players
nave received their injuries on
Saturday afternoons in varsity
games, and not in intersquad
Scrimmage sessions.
Coach Frank DobSon, however,
;akes the breaks" like a trouper.
There are no excuses. TITS simply
our turn. We've been exceedingly
lucky up until this year. We had

BITTER FIGHTS
( EXPECTED AS
TOP "11S" CLASH
Pitt Wisconsin Battle
Heads Major Card
BY LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Oct. IA G.N.SJ.
Some of the nations outstanding
football leaders are due to fall to-
morrow, wher the schedule calls
for innumerable contests in which
tough team will meet tough team
and in a few instances unbeaten
elevenS will clash.
One of the days major battles
will find unbeaten Pittsburgh con-
tender for the national champion
ship, lined up against undefeated
Wisconsin, with Pittsburgh gen.
orally favored among the prognos-
ticatorS, including this deponent.
likewise, in other intersectional
contests, Fordham should continue
to roll against it's first major op-
ponent. Purdue; New York Univer.
Sity should turn back North Caro-
lima, these games to be played
here.
PICKS HOOSIERS
In still others Nebraska and In.
diana neither of which has won
a game, looks like a toss-up, but
Indiana hereby is picked; Michi.
gan State figures over West Vir-
ginia and Carnegie Tech should
take Holy Cross.
One of the big tussles of the
Midwest and one that will elimin-
ate, at least temporarily, a big
ten leader will bring the powerful
Minnesota eleven against Michi-
gan in a battle between unbeaten
elevenS. Minnesota must be IA
vored and likewise Notre Dame
over Illinois, and Northwestern
over Ohio State.
In the East, Columbia should
romp over Colgate, Penn figures
over Princeton, Army over Har-
ward, Navy over Yale, Dartmouth
over Brown, Cornell and Syracuse
are a virtual toss-up with the
former holding a bit of an edge.
FAVORS CRIMSON TIDE
Down South the big tussle is
going to take Alabama'S Crimson
Tide out against Tennessee in a
Southeastern Conference clash.
Alabama has beaten Southern
California, Howard and North
Carolina State and now makes it's
conference debut against an
eleven which leads the loop with
two wins in it and one outside.
Nevertheless, Alabama is favored.
Duke, of the Southern Confer.
ence, is favored over Georgia Tech
of the Southeastern; Vanderbilt is
given a slight edge over Missis-
slppl, with a form reversal pos
sible: Rice, Of the Southwestern,
and Tulane, of the Southeastern,
are a toss-up, and Texas Christian
may squeeze through against
Texas A. and M.
Out on the coast, one of the
most attractive engagements will
be waged between Oregon, the
conference leader with two wins,
and Stanford, with the former
picked to nudge its way through.
California ought to take U. C. L.
A., Southern California. which has.
lost only to Alabama, figures over
State. already beaten
three straight and Santa Clara
must be given a decided margin
over Arizona.
In still other tilts on scattered
fronts, Arkansas and Texas loom
as a toss-up; Temple figures over
Baylor and Centenary
look like a deadlock: Denver is
picked over Utah Aggies, Ken
lucky over Washington and Lee,
Penn State over Lehigh, Oklahoma
over Kansas. Chicago and Iowa
will do the best they can against
each other after having done their
worst in previous starts.
