A couple of Jacks comprised the
winning hand at the football
writers weekly luncheon-Hagerty
of Georgetown and Faber of Mary
land. They called their shots on
last weeks games, and for that
very good reason you could've
heard a fullback drop when they
aired their views on the engage
ments coming up this week.
No laughs, not even smile,
greeted Hagerty's announcement he
fears Virginia Tech. Poignant mem
cries of last weeks pulSating Strug-
gle with Waynesburg we're too fresh
in the scribeS minds, and they di-
gested the V. P. I. report with I'M
feigned interest.
Tech, which will be on exhibition
Friday night at Griffith Stadium, is
hot and cold team, Hagerty said,
and was decidedly cold last Sat-
urday in absorbing 20-13 shellack-
ing at William and Marys hands.
Jim Coleman, big tackle who did
not play against William and Mary
but who has been observed before;
John Henderson, fast, rangy end,
and Bill Tate, a guard, are the
GobblerS' outstanding linemen.
Tech Has Strong Backs.
Herb Thomas, l70-pound quin-
tuple threat; George Warmer, a
punter who can kick out of this
world; Rankin Hudson, Mason
Blandford, Buster" Smith and
Gene Wheeler are backs who can
make it interesting for any OPP
ponent if hot, and Hagerty is
afraid Tech will be more than luke
warm this week.
GEORGETOWN, which will miss the
punting and pass catching of Mike
Kopick at end and very likely Jim
Castiglia at fullback, should know
by now every team on the list is
laying for it. Waynesburg proved
that by deliberately saving its first
stringers against Duquesne to have
them ready for the Hoyas The first
eleven to knock off the Hoyas hits
the publicity jackpot-and that is
worth a little extra attention and
effort.
High school students will be ad-
mitted to this weeks game-the
only home game on the collegiate
card, for Is cents. Tickets will be
on sale at the ball park from tomor-
row morning until Friday afternoon
at o'clock for the students.
Terps Polishing Offense.
Faber, while pleased with Mary
lands improvement against Vir-
ginia, was not wholly satisfied. The
offense hit on two instead of four
cylinders at times and there were
moments when mite more offensive
"oomph' could have changed the
games entire complexion but it
wasn't forthcoming. He intends to
correct that fault before Saturdays
game with Florida at Gainesville.
Faber was lavish in praise of
Luther Conrad, a lad who hasn't
played the same position twice in
three games. Conrad started the
season at guard, was shifted to
tackle against Penn when a glaring
weakness was uncovered in that
position, and went to end against
Virginia. Maryland needed his
speed in covering punts, his tackling
and blocking. A couple of more
games at the flank and Faber thinks
the boy will be crack wingman.
Jack also meted out praise to Bob
Smith. veteran center. who galloped
SIS yards with an intercepted pass
for Maryland's lone score: DuVall
and Murphy, backs, and Heyer,
guard.
Florida, he'll have you know, need
not expect a pushover this week.
Maryland has more plays than an
1890 stock company and will use
them if Associate Coach Al Woods
has to go in and call them from
the huddle.
