GREEN TERRORS'
HEAVY CHOICE.
TO BEAT TERPS
BY CHICK KENNY

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.-Facing
their fourth straight setback of
the season and meeting their third
consecutive opponent on foreign
soil, crippled University of Mary
land football team will stack up
against undefeated Western Mary
land College of Westminster IL
the Municipal Stadium this after
noon.
Western Maryland is quoted a
5-to-2 ,lnderdog to win the game.
Victary TODAY for the Green
Terrors of Westminster will auto
matically give them the Maryland
State title and in addition will
deadlock the series at IL games
each.
WEIDENGER MAY START
Coach Frank Dobson this morn
ing announced that his passing
star, Charley Weidenger, who has
been out of uniform since the
opener with Richmond, may stan :
at one halfback position, only If
he is in good physical condition.
Maryland, therefore, is expected
to line up with Frank Dwyer and
Francis Beamer at ends; Bob
Ccchrane and Ralph Albarano,
tackles; Ed Lloyd and George
Lawrence, guards; with Bob Smith
at center. The backfield will
comprise, Weidenger, if he is given
the nod; Frank Skotnicki, Bill
Hewitt and John Boyda.
Of this lineup the Terps will
present five lettermen and three
each of junior nonletter winners
and Sophs.
Western Maryland is at top
strength for the game today,
which means that its great tackle,
Steve Radatovitch, out of action
the first two games, is ready to
go, as is Bob Dickson, regular
blocking ace of the club.
TRIPLE THREAT
Maryland will be forced to
watch the antics of Joe Drugash,
triple threat of the Green Ter
ror eleven, who is one of the
most accurate paSsers in the in
stitution's history, and the closest
thing to Bill Shepherd since that
great running back graduated
from Western Maryland five years
ago.

part in any of the practice Ses-
sions to date and may not don a
uniform Sunday.
The third and latest casualty
is Charley Malone, lanky left end
of superior forward paSS-catching
qualities. Malone today insisted
he would be able to play part of
the game at least, but the condi-
ton Of his knee was such that
as late as yesterday he was un-
able to take part in the practice
session, although he had been
drilling all week up to yesterdays
workout.
Not until tomorrow, shortly be-
fore game time, will Malone'S con-
dition be determined definitely as
to the adviSability of permitting
him to play. Bob McChesney and
Bob Masterson are expected to di-
vide the left end duties in case
Malone is found to be hors de
combat.
WEE WILLIE AT TACKLE
After the workout this morning,
Coach Ray Flaherty stuck to his
statement in insisting the ReGskin
backfield starting quartet would
be composed of Jay Turner, former
G. w. star, at quarterback, and
FarkaS, who will be making his
Homecoming" in tomorrow'S game
after three years of sensational
play with Gus Dorais' Detroit Uni
versity eleven, at fullback, and
Bill Hartman, sensational Georgia
pass-tossing rookie, and Eddie JUS
tice, veteran of three years, at
the halfback posts.
"Wee Willie" Wilkin, 245 pounds
OF muscle, will take the place Of
Capt. Turk" Edwards at left
tackle and will be relieved by Roy
Young, who heretofore has been
playing a great game at guard,
and by Hank" Bartos, who has
been showing up well in recent
practices. While Krause, Edwards
and Malone will be sorely missed,
Flaherty is heartened by the fact
that for the first time this year
a 100 per cent Sammy Baugh will
be ready. Sammy is completely
recovered.
SHOULDER HEALED
His left shoulder, incidentally,
is free from pain now, although
still slightly stiff. Then, too, Riley
Smith, field general extraordinary
and reliable place-kicking artist,
will be available for part-time duty
for the first time since the all
star game, and Erny Pinckert,
great blocking back. is entirely
recovered from a severe charley
horse received against the Rams
three weeks ago.
The Lions have their share of
troubles for the game. Their
coach-quarterback, Earl Dutch"
Clark, is bothered with a sprained
ankle which is not completely re-
covered and which will prevent
him from playing more than a
few minutes at the most. Ernie
Caddel, 1876 pounds of hard-run-
ming halfback and ex-Stanford
star, will probably not see action,
due to an arm injury.

Before MARION put HELEN
out Of the finals of the Middle
Atlantic championship, and
!, yesterday at Rodgers Forge,
she was by no means the favor
lite. HELEN had shot a 79
medal round to break the course
competitive record. Two days
later, when she eliminated the
defending CHI ampion, MRS.
BETTY MECKLEY, in the
quarterfinal round, she shot
another 70. And yesterday she
carded yet another 70, but it
just wasn't good enough.
MARION shot a brilliant II to
beat HELEN'S record and prob
ably played the best golf she
has ever shot in her brief
career on the links.

BILLY DETTWEILER, last
years captain of the Georgetown
U. golf team, was so interested
in his sisters finals match that
he went to Baltimore to witness
it, risking his chance to qualify
for the Georgetown team this
year.
Yesterday and day before at
Capital, Georgetown golfers COM
peted for positions on this years
team, and if the athletic director
at Georgetown is not soft
hearted, BLLY'S absence from
play yesterday may go hard with
him.
Leading the Georgetown quail
fiers was JOHNNY BURKE, who
shot a 72-67-139; the 81 setting
a new competitive record for the
course. CHARLES PETTIJOHN
was second with 72-75-147, and
next came WILLY SHEA and
RAY HIGGINS, each with l49.
The final qualifying 18 will be
played today.

Edna, His Wife
AtNotionoI

Cornelia Otis Skinner, who
has just finished what the New
York newspaper critics claim to
have been her most triumphant
engagement on Broadway, is to
be seen at the National Theater
for the week commencing Mon
day, February 81.
Miss Skinner is credited as the
only one-woman Snowman in
the world capable of offering a
full-length play in New York
without a single adverse criti-
cism. In her own dramatiZation
of Margaret Aver Barnes best
selling novel, Edna His Wife"
the actreSs-author characterizeS
with distinct and colorful men,
bers and associates of the Jones
family in two acts, during which
time she holds her audiences
Spelbound.
The II scenes are laid mostly
in Chicago-from a sleepy sub
urb through various neighbor-
hoodS-each pointing to the for
tunes OF the JoneSeS, to a Park
Avenue penthouse in New York.
For the first time in several
seasons, Miss Skinner has an
attractive production - settings
by Donald Oenslager, a musical
score by Elliott Jacoby and a
variety of odd costumes designed
by Helene PonS.

Jackie Cooper, Bright Star ot
boy of the Streets"

If Monogram ever made a pic
ture that appeals, boy of the
Streets" now at the Metropoli-
tan is one OF them.
It deals with the many prob
lens that confront the law in
dealing with the younger ele-
ment that rises through the
slime and muck Of the tene-
ment districts of most any
metropolitan city, to become
the primary reason for the ex-
istence of a law enforcement or
garlization.
It begins with a PROFOUND
ment of sociology by police Of
ficers concerning the living con-
ditions Of the boys whose only
right is might. One of these
is Jackie Cooper, who rises once
again to stardom on the finest
characterization that he has
ever attempted.
No longer does he pout or
cry, but produces a manly
figure as he flows through the
many sequences to finally ar
rive at the conclusion that
right is not might after all.
It is truly Jackie's picture
through and through. With this
in mind it is ventured that
Jackie is one of the very few
who has starred in infancy and
returned once again to star
after the awkward age.
He is a tough boy who fights
with his fists and holds anyone
in contempt who uses anything
else in his defense. This is his
finest attribute, which leads to
the undoing Of an organized
mob who had taken Jackie into
their confidence.
Lending brilliant support with
her sweet voice, Maureen OCon-
nor gives a definite character
ization of a young girl Of the
tenements. But the call should
be given to Marjorie Main, who
portrays the same tireless
mother as she did in Dead
End" Notwithstanding its du-
plication. she delivers a peculiar
air of sincerity and correctness
that surrounds mothers of this
poorer class.

EXCELLENT STAGE BILL
Will Osborne's so-called slide"
orchestra provides the musical
background for worthy stage
bill at the Earle this week. This
unframed ear is unable to diff
ferentiate between slide" and
other forms of swing music, ex-
cept perhaps that it leans heav-
lily on the brasses. In any case,
the Osborne band is very pleas
ant to listen to, with a con-
ductor who displays plenty Of
personality and pep. The band
excelled in burleSques of several
of the more prominent radio
orchestraS. Another enjoyable
novelty was a take-off of a jazz
band Of twenty years ago.
Appearing with the orchestra
are Gloria Gilbert, whose mar
velous toe-dancing is comparable
to Sonia Henie's wizardry on
skates; the Ghezzis. a pair Of
extraordinary gymnasts whose
feats are equally awe-inSpiring;
and Janice Todd, who sings
pleasantly enough several popu-
lar tunes.
The audience is given an op-
portunity to participate in the
program at the outset by join
ing with 10 lombard in singing
you're a Sweetheart" and
"RoSalie." While the words are
being flashed on the screen Lom-
bardi saunters around with a

opportunity to hear their voices

It was a battle Of right over

Director Michael Curtiz has
