Terp Gridmen Tuning
Wide 0pen Attack
For Georgetown
Expect to Be Prepared
To Make November 9
Bottle Interesting

With semi-rest and ample time
to revamp and tune its attack
Maryland's football squad is plan
ming to make its November 9 game
with Georgetown at College Park
interesting at least.
Maryland is not trying to kid it
self or the public into the idea that
it has a chance to upset the power
full Hoyas, but it does feel that, with
a break or two, it can show enough
football to keep the contest from
being a drab, one-sided affair.
The Terps, of course, have nc
alternative other than to gamble
This they assuredly will do and
whether it backfires or not, the wide
open game they will attempt should
appeal to the spectators.
Maryland should be able to muster
all its comparatively limited assets
for the Hoyas. Joe Murphy, nursing
a bad left ankle, was in uniform
yesterday and Mearle Du Vail, who
has a more seriously hurt left knee,
was on hand in civilian clothes
Neither did anything but observe,
but they will be ready to step in by
the first of next week, at the latest,
to rehearse the stuff that is being
cooked up.
With the exception of the under
studies for Murphy and Du Vail in
the backfeld. the first-string eleven
yesterday was the same that started
against Western Maryland last Fri
day night.

His closest rival can be considered
TO be either Davey O'Brien, who has
completed 81 out of lat for 79I

who came from nowhere to jump
into third place with a SO percent

average dropped slightly from As

In the universal acclaim of the
Redskins as a whole after last SUM-
days stirring victory at Detroit and
the disinclination to single out airy
one or two players for special praise,
1t occurred to us that the possibili-
ties Of a good yarn were slipping
away.
So, before it's too late. let's say
a word or two about pair of the
teams younger players of whom not
a great deal was expected before the
season opened, who got their start
ing chances on the same day and
who have developed into important
cogs in the Redskins winning ma
chine.
We refer to Rookie Bob Titchenal
from little San Jose State and
Sophomore Jim Meade from Mary
land, who apparently has found
himself after a rather unimpreSslve
rookie season.
If ever the old adage, zone mans
loss is anothers gain" ever fitted
any one, it applies to Meade. More
or less regarded as one of the two
spare backs when the season opened,
without a place in any OF the In
dams three regular backfields, 1t
took an injury to Ed Justice to give
Meade his chance. Even then, 1t
wasn't until two weeks after Justice
was hurt that Meade was inserted
into the starting backfield. the rookie
Ray Hare being given the first call.
Meade Proves Versatile.
But up at Philadelphia, Meade
was sent into the opening lineup
with Sammy Baugh. Max Krause
and Jimmy Johnston for the first
time and, with his confidence thus
buoyed, has been playing great foot
ball ever since.
Out in Detroit, three days ago,
Meade played the best game of his
young professional career. He not
only hit the line hard. but also
did outstanding work along other
lines. All afternoon he was down
fast under Redskin punts and kick
offs. often being the initial tackler
that stopped or slowed up the Lions
receiver.
In the first period. Meade recov-

Many D. {. Athletes
Drawn in Draft Not
Likely 10 Serve
Either Far Down on List
Or Among Those Sure
To Be Exempted

Washington athletic figures were
prepared today to answer their
country's call following the ma
tional draft lottery which was COM
pleted early this morning Every
athlete and coach between the ages
of 81 and IS had his number called.
but many will not be sent question
naires, because they are far down
on the list in their respective dis
tricts.
Others will not go because of de-
pendents or special exemptions. Col
lege athletes, for example, will be
permitted to finish their years
study, and many of the coaches are
married. All, however, expressed a
willingness to serve if necessary.
Among those who likely will go in
the first draft, however, are Matt
Twomey, manager of Steve Mama
kos, the boxer; Vic GauZza, jr., son
leader, and Phil Fox, basket ball
coach and assistant football coach
at Eastern High.
Fox was engaged and planned to
be married in the near future. but
his plans must be redrawn while he
awaits the outcome of his question
naire report. He expressed the
sentiment of other sports leaders,
though, when he said, II don't mind
going; I'm for it 100 per cent"
All sports were represented among
those drawn early and who will re-
ceive calls from their draft boards
Most of the professional baseball
and football players registered in
their home towns and it will not be
known until later what numbers they
drew, but among those in this area
who received early numbers was
Charlie Malone, Redskin end. He
is the father of two children, how
ever, and exempt on that count. An
other of the few Redskins who regis
| tered locally and received a drawing
was "Slashin" Steve Slivinski, a
| guard.
Hardy Pearce, Central High foot
ball coach, also was among those
chosen early, but he also is married
His colleague, ROLAND Lund OF
Anacostia High, also was among the
early selectees, but has a wife and
three children.
Golfers who heard their names
drawn early yesterday we're Volney
Burnett of Beaver Dam, Thomas
Bones, jr.. of Manor and Don De
Veau of Chevy Chase. Among the
first bowling figures TO receive
questionnaires will be Paul Brannan
Paul Harrison, Harry Brown, Johnny
Fish, Bob Hawthorne, George Haney
and Earl T. McPhiliomy.
Among the collegiate ranks were
such early birds as William Bell
former Episcopel High star and
currently on the Yale football team
and Frank August. G. w. end. Both
likely will be called in a later draft
when their school year is completed

1t is reported here that the. fan

"One of the conditions upon which
the club will be returned to Clark

president" the story said.
1t is asserted that of the original
100000 price pledged Washington
for the Chattanooga club $4,000
remains unpaid and the plan is for
the debt to be Cancelled with return
of the club.
Some l,700 fans, led by less than

Case Of Reimbursement
Now Appears Cured

Last winter I met the castaway
ct a football dinner Asked about
his own team. he was as wistful
as any man you ever have seen.
Then Dutch Clark and one or two
of his henchmen began talking pro
football and diagramming plays and
Mr. Shaughnessy bloomed and ex-
panded and was happy in forget
fulness, with a piece of chalk and
a blackboard and those Bear plays.
He was coach with a black
boad, and no team.
This sad case of maladjustment
in the body polite now has been
cured-permanently, hope. On the
coast, at Stanford, under the gimlet
eye of Oman Atherton, the good
gray coach is not by any means
free to run a pro club. But he
doesn't ask that. All he asks is a
fair-to-middling squad of compe-
tent athletes. ShaughneSSy will do
the rest.
He is doing the rest very hand
somely, up to date. But I probably
have fixed that. BY nominating him
for coach of the year I have launch
ed this honest character on the high
road to ruin.
