Maroon Without
Ace Backs in
Rider Game
Western in Top Trim
For Clash Tomorrow
With Tiger Eleven
BY ROBERT HENRY.

ASSlA anu w WILL
have tough time putting a start
ing lineup of any sort on the field
If they continue to suffer injuries
such as they've been plagued with
recently. Tomorrow Tech plays host
to Roosevelt while Wilson meets
Western at home, but another cas-
ualty or two and they'll be playing
slx-man football.
The effects of a rough and tumble
game with Baltimore City College
two weeks ago still are being felt at
Tech, with numerous players on the
limp. The more recent St. Johns
game didn't help the situation.
Both Don Cockrille and Angelo
Catucci, backfield aces, were hurt in
the Baltimore game and only Cock
rifle has a chance of playing tomor-
row. Catucci's place will be taken
by Joe d'Ellasticious, while Victor
McCampbell will start in place of
Cockrille. Don Miller, big fullback,
also is doubtful starter and likely
will be replaced by Carleton Small
wood, who has turned in some fancy
running since becoming eligible a
short time ago. SmallWood, a trans
fer student, was forced to wait six
weeks before being allowed to play.
Wondrack Is Confident.
Despite his troubles, Wondrack =,
confident his team can repeat its
victory of last year over Roosevelt
The triumph over St. Johns greatly
improved the morale of the SQUAD
after it had reached gloomy depths
as result of losing three straight.
Light practice and signal drill has
supplanted scrimmage this week.
While Roosevelt will be at full
strength for the game and compares
favorably in size with Tech, there
seems to be little chance for the
Rough Riders to win. However. Artie
Boyd, Roosevelt coach, says it's about
time his team won a game. The best
chance for an upset lies in an i'm
proving aerial attack that flashed
promisingly against Western two
weeks ago. Billy Hall. 140-pounder.
Will be on the throwing end. aided
part, time by Irwin Breyer. Benny
kolker and Hy Lancaster will do
most of the ball carrying. Kolker
knocked holes through the Western
line and should do as much against
Tech.
Western is fit and ready for the
Wilson game, but Wilson is wrecked
with injuries. Bad legs, ankles. hips
ana shoulders have forced Coach
Carl Helntel to scour for reserves.
The Eastern and Georgetown games
proved hard on the Presidents, leav-
ing Heintel wondering just where he
was going to find a suitable lineup
against Western.
Fratt Advised to Quit Game.
Nick Fratt, fullback, who was be-
ing counted on for heavy duty in the
game, recently bumped hip he had
hurt several years ago and has been
advised by Heintel and his doctor to
discontinue football John Mudd will
succeed him. Jim Long, another
oack, has an ankle injury and will
see little service tomorrow, as will
Roland Cornwall, also a back. Jack
Bently, still another back, has a
damaged leg, but will be able to play
at least part time. Jack Taylor, end,
is sporting an ailing elbow but is
expected to play most of the game.
The traditional Landon-George-
town Prep game, which will be played
at Landon tomorrow, finds both
teams riddled with injuries. Lam
don has John Amussen, fullback;
Bob Hill, end; John Buckholz,
tackle, and Bob Kephart, guard,
all on the injured list, and Joe
Patch, tackle. is i'll. Paul Baker,
lineman, will move into Amussens
place, while other requirements are
not yet certain.
Offsetting this is the improved play
Of Ben McKelway and John Boteler,
hard-running backs. Coach Bob
McArty regards McKelway as one
of his best bets. Bens touchdown
last week gave his team a 6-6 tie
against st. Paul's. Boteler, fastest
man on the squad, has shown we'll
IN practice this week and is being
counted on for heavy duty.
At Georgetown Prep several play
ers are on the doubtful list. Chuck
Devine, captain and end; Bud Ech-
rich, back, and Roger Goodspeed,
tackle. all missed the Charlotte Hall
game last week and only Goodspeed
is certain to play tomorrow. De-
vine has had little practice lately.
Tommy Keating, young coach. is
pessimistic over the tilt, but is
pleased with the recent work of
Bob Boylan and Sport Barrett. who
showed well in yesterdays kicking
practice.
