Hagerty Views Owls
As Formidable for
i|tFriday Night
Terps Believe They Can
At Least Cross Goal
Of Quokers Saturday
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.


Keep this under your bonnets,
mates, but it's straight from the oat
bin that Georgetown and Maryland
are cooking up some fancy stuff for
their games with Temple and Penn,
Friday night and Saturday, respec-
lively, at Philadelphia.
It's subrosa, of course, but strate-
gists in both camps are buster than
a nest of saboteurs with their in
tricate offensive plans. Everybody
denies everything when the topic is
broached but from sources as close
to the coaches as their right elbows
we have it that orthodox football
will not be tolerated.
Let me see now, you can say we
expect a tough game-Temple' got
q lot of power and speed, you know,
but We'll be in there trying and
hope to win," said Hagerty, pressed
for a forecast of the battle. This
is statement No. 8, page II, as car
ried In every standard coachS
guide.
Will to Forget Past.
IT know we can't be as bad as we
looked against Hampden-Sydney,"
said Jack Faber, standing by his
guns, land while we may not win,
Penn at least will know it has been
In a football game" The first part
of the Maryland mentors quote
borders on heresey but it ends on
a sound, conventional note as any
one can verify by checking page
%. section 4. of the same coachs
guide.
But this doesn't mesh with code
reports from agents who watched
both teams yesterday KC-5, sta
toned at Georgetown so long they
now are charging him tuition, re-
ports the Hoyas tried three new
plays that baffled even the coach
who designed them. One starts out
as an end run and winds up as
cross-country race and may have to
be discarded unless Temples grid
iron is slightly unorthodox.
Another has all the earmarks of
a downfield lateral pass off
straight forward but yoC can't prove
1t by KC-5. who has seen lot of
battling tactics in his day but moth
ing to match what the Hilltoppers
are practicing.
Careful in His Predictions.
At College Park. BOZ, who has
been around long enough to draw
a pension, sends word that Mary
land may be so different you won't
recognize the Terps from either
names or numbers Saturday. But
BOZ is cagey codger, not given to
climbing out on dangerous limbs
and therefore unwilling to predict
more than that Maryland will get
at least touchdown.
Joe Murphy, the sparkling, mag
meta, four cylinders and shock alb
sorber of the Terp offense, was on
the field but not in uniform yester-
day, but Boz reports his absence
wasn't noticeable. They tried one
playa hidden ball stunt, that was
so effective the ball is still missing
and anything like straight line
buck or end run was strictly taboo.
Anybody caught running an ordi-
nary play will be sacked, pronto.
Punch" Widener, blocking back,
tore a hip muscle in the scrimmage
and may be out for the Penn game
unless he can be taped we'll enough
to play without risking serious in
jury, and Luther Conrad, a guard,
suffered slight knee injury, but
the Terps otherwise escaped un-
scatched in a lengthy scrimmage.
Wideners spirit and anxiety to play
probably will be sufficient to get him
In the lineup this week.
Stand Pat on Lineup.
Faber, AL Heagy and Al Woods
looked at pictures Of the Hampden-
Sydney game and were outspokenly
disappointed. The players them
selves will view the film tonight.
No changes are planned in the line
up this week unless injuries force
them.
Georgetown's lineup will be the
same that opened against Roanoke,
which means that Chris Pavich and
Art Lemke will remain at the wings
and Joe Daniels again will do the
kicking. Mike Kopcik. regular end
who did the punting last year. is
having difficulty getting into the
lineup after a sprained ankle re-
tarded his earlV practice,
