7erps Hopeful OF Giving Duke
Tough Contest on GHdiron
AT Baltimore Saturday

Although nobody-Well, hardly any
body-expects Maryland to give
Duke a run for the marbles in their
football game Saturday at Baltimore,
the Terps have an idea they can
pull one of the seasons biggest
upsets at the Blue Devils expense
and are working like beavers to get
the trap ready.
Jack Faber, Al Woods and Al
Heagy, the gentlemen comprising
Maryland's board of strategy, en-
phatically think Maryland has a
chance if it plays its best brand of
football. All have a wholesome
respect for Wallace Wade's mighty
machine, but they've been through
the mill and in the game long
enough to know that no team is
invincible
I'VE may not win" Faber was
saying today. But we won't lose the
game here on the practice field. I
don't want anybody on this squad
with defeatiSt attitude and if there
is anybody out here who doesn't t
think we can win I haven't come
across him. Well be ready for Duke
and I guarantee we'll give it all the
competition 1t wants in one after
noon"
Duke Not ImpregnabIe.

volunteered. land it's a funny thing.
but if you tackle them they go down
just like any other football team.
II you block 'em you take them out
just as you would any other team.
and if you score on 'em it counts just
as much as it does against another
team. Duke is good, but not so good
it can't be licked
Heagy, who secuted the Carolin-
ians in their 1870 victory over Ten
nessee. was not overly impressed
with the Vols defense and believes
Maryland's hard-hitting sophS will
give Dukes defense a heck of a lot
more trouble. Another thing. Ten
neSsee blocked three Duke punts
which would indicate a weakness
in the Blue Devil line, which. if To-
Gated, may provide a promenade for
Jack Wright, George Barnes and
other Terp ball carriers.
Two of Dukes scores against
Tennessee were the direct result
OF breaks of the game. Only the

in the history of the sport that
radio had been used in actual
direction of a game.
If the plan works successfully,
the Army players said they
saw no reason why other teams
couldn't take up the practice
Perhaps they could not get Army
equipment, but they could get
something that's just as good.
Plenty of air interference was
foreseen if the practice increased.
Some fellows with an old Ford
spark coil and 10 feet of wire
could simply paralyze the COM
munications system of the visit
ing team.
The Boeing team, alarmed at
the new idea, threatened, of
course, to fly bomber over the
field for little spotting of their
own.
