OLD LINERS RULE

TRIP RICHMOND

College football makes its bow
in this section today when the
University of Maryland stacks up
against the University of Rich
mond on the green sod of Byrd Sta
dium at 2::30 o'clock.
Maryland is a 2 to / favorite to
successfully hurdle the Spider in
vasion and capture the first of
three Southern Conference battles
listed on the 1888 slate.
Both teams are in excel.
lent condition. It will be
the Old Liners first start
of the year. but for Richmond 1t is
the second. Last week the invad-
ing eleven nosed out the Appren.
tice School, 60, at Norfolk, Va,
to avenge a 6-6 surprise draw in
the opening game between the two
teams last year.
Special interest is attached to
the game at College Park today
due to the fact that Coach Frank
Dobson of Maryland was
coach at Richmond for twenty
years before moving three
seasons ago to College Park.
Coach Glenn Thistlewaite, now
at Richmond. formerly coached in
the Western Conference having
tutored successful elevens at North
western and Wisconsin.
TWO STARS MISSING
Two of last years finest guards
will be missing from the Maryland
lineup today. They are Mike
Surgent and Bill Wolfe, now
graduated. In their places will be
a sophomore, George Gienger, the
only first year lad to make the
starting varsity eleven; and Frank
DeArmey. holdover letterman.
For the remainder of the Terps'
club. experience is rampant both
in the line and backfield. On

will probably give the Spider team
a sample of his aerial methods
throughout the game today.
MANY VETS IN LINEUP
Like Maryland the invading
team lines up with
veteran performers at most of the
posts. Only at the tackle berthS
and at left halfback will Sopho-
mores perform. But the pair Of
first year lads at the important
tackle positions are said to have
exceptional merit. They are Andy
Fronzek and Sinar. Ned Butcher,
egular left halfback of the
Spiders, the third sophomore, is a
sterling forward pass artist. Con-
it is believed that Rich.

The HawkeyeS scored a field

They seemed to have the game

But then the Bruins woke up.
Their first score came on a

He threw the ball to the ground,
and Woodrow STROBE, huge

|CH|CUBS WITHIN
TWO GAMES OF
SLIPPING BUGS
BY ANTHONY J. PUGL1EsE

NEW YORK, Sept. "a GN.SD.
Adding fuel to the already blazing
National League stretch fight, the
Chicago Cubs today have carried
their bid for the pennant to
within two games Of the league
leading Pittsburgh Pirates.
Both the Cubs and Pirates have
nine games remaining on their
schedules, and even at this early
date all baseball anxiously awaits
the Chicago-Pittsburgh hand-to-
hand series beginning next Tues
day.
Precarious as the Pirates lead
might seem today on its face, the
BucS still are in an excellent posi-
ton to snag the flag. The Pirates
have six games left with the Gin
cinnati Reds and three with the
Cubs, while Chicago plays six with
the improved Cardinals and three
against the Bucs.
MUST WIN SIX
If the Pirates win six of their
remaining nine contests for a per-
centage of .593, the Cubs would
have to take all their nine games
to nose Pittsburgh out with a .599
mark.
If the Pirates win six out of
nine, and the Cubs lose one out of
the last nine, the Pirates would
win the pepnant by one lone per-
centage point, .593 to .592.
If the Pirates win five out of
nine, the Cubs could cop the ban
ner by winning eight out of nine,
the margin being five percentage
points.
PIRATES LOSE
The Cubs yesterday slashed a
game and a half from the BuccoS'
lead by taking a twin triumph
from the Philadelphia PhillieS, 3
to 2 and Z to 6, while the Pirates
lost to the Reds, to 4, in IL in

Snow Sports In Favor
 With Young Wrangell

The ski slide which was construct ed two years ago by CCC labor a half mile beyond the end of the road on WrangeIl Highway, has been a popular place on Sunday during the .ecent cold weather.
 While the slide would be improv- ed. skiers say. by a little more snow it is in satisfactory condition and affords great fun to the crowds of young people who are making the most of the snow sports now avail able.
 Bob sledding is the popular past time evenings and skating on the pond just off the top of McKinnon avenue, has attracted more than the small space can accommodate.
 After coming unharmed through a day of spills on the ski slide last Sunday Harold Martindale suffered a severely sprained ankle when he jumped off the truck after it's ar rival in town with a load of skiers that evening. He spent the night at the hospital and then went to his apartment in the Vreatt building to recuperate. Walter Wing is taking over MT. Martindale's duties as school janitor until he has recover ed.

EsKIM0s TO STAGE sTLYE
 SHOW AT FUR RENDEZVOUS

Comely Eskimo lassies from some of the most primitive camps in the Arctic will be on parade to show the latest fashions in finest Alaskan furs during the Fur Rendezvous, &C., cording to plans announced by the Anchorage Times.
 The Eskimos will come from the Eklutna Vocational School and Rob- ert S King, principal. has made up a most interesting program.
 More than 35 Eskimos will be in the style show and dancing pro- gram There will be 14 boys and girls from Eskimo villages of the far north to model the furs. Nine teen will dance with eight more singing. Some of the students will participate in more than one event.
 The Eskimo fur style show will be one of the highlights of the four days of events from February 19 to 22. The Rendezvous committee has l3borate plans for developing the 7skimo activities further to bring the spotlight of national publicity on the Anchorage event There is no other style show in the world that will be as colorful and unique as the one in Anchorage, sponsors say. Instead of the customary bath ing beauties and fine gowns typical of shows in the states, the Alaska event will be the opposite with flashy fur costumes and snowy background.
 The boys ana girls who will model the furs have come from communi- ties as far north as Wainwright, on the Arctic rim west of Barrow.
 The Eskimo dances promise to be another interesting feature. Wear ing their native garb and using na- tive music. the Eskimos will show the Pleasure Dance. Row Dance Wolf Dance. Seal Dance, Westovel Dance and Arm Dance.

Arnie Eundby, Sven Samuelson, with Alex Legg as part ner will also fish at Squaw bay.
 The situation among resident fishermen. according to word given out by some of the locals, is much more settled than in former years, accounted for by them from the fact that there is only one organi- zation. Residents, according to the same word, are on par with outside fishermen in all benefits.
