Hoyo First Eleven Strong, Subs
Spotty;; G. w. Question Mark;
Terps, Eagles Looking Up .

Vecchio, an end, and Bill Brodbeck,
Paul Weber and, Joe Hall, backs.
Much of the Colonials' hope is
vested in these youngsters and their
burden will be heavy.
Ends may give some work to
Marylands board of strategy, too,
although Jack Faber is reported to
have nice collection of young sky
scrapers coming up. Jack Gilmore.
shifted to end from the backfield, is
the only letter wingman, but in
sophs Bob James, George Simler.
Lou Hesson, Ken Daniels, Dick Alex
ander and John Clayland the Terps
have a passel of potential stars.
Loss of Don Shockey, a back who
had been shifted to tackle, Warren
O'Neill, varsity reserve, and Austin
Frey, considered the best freshman
lineman last year, will give Messrs.
Faber, Al Wood and Al Heagy some
thing to think about, but shouldn't
necessarily be fatal. Also lost was
Lohr Dunlap, an excellent guard and
shot putter. Ralph Burlin, Mary
lands best lineman last autumn:
Reggv Vincent and Luther Conrad
give the board workable nucleus at
tackle. All scale under 100, except
Burlin, and Jack Dittmar, most
promising rookie is mere 1877. but
the four have enough of get-up-and-
90 to balance the lack of weight.
Guards offer the least worry with
Frank Heyer, Jack Morton, Max
Hunt and Harold Berry on the
squad. These four lettermen will
have to carry the load as the rockies
are not so promising.
Center will not be too strong with
George Jarmaska and Pop Whar-
ton, two light men as the veterans.
Bob Smiths loss will be felt here.
Preston Taylor is talented soph.
MARYLAND Backfield Potent.
Maryland has a backfield full OF
trouble for it's foes this season,
boasting the most versatile ball
carrying array since Bill Guckeyson
tramped off to West Point.
Jack Wright, 205-pound Baltimore
ed-head-and soph to boot, stacks
up as top man in the group. But
very much in the scheme OF things
are Elmer Rigby, junior southpaw
passer and a sweet running ball
carrier, and Sophs Tommy Mont,
triple threaten; Jack Brenner, pass
er and runner, and George Barnes,
a slippery customer from Washing
ton.
This. in addition to Mearle Duvall,
triple-threat holdover; Bernie Ul-
man, a good ball handler; Joe Hoop
engardner another elusive char
acter, and John Cordyack, an ace
defensive and blocking back.
About all that is lacking is
kicker of the ability of fleet Joe
Murphy, whose punting and run
ming were telling factors last fall.
Georgetown, after three fat, zest-
full seasons, will encounter rougher
going unless most OF the experts
miss their guess.
Problem No. l for Jack Hagerty
/ is Mike Kopcik's knee, operated on
last December and reported knitted
nicely. If all goes we'll Mixes long,
booming punts will be a mighty
handy defensive weapon, but if he
has lost the zing of that free and
easy swing it'll 60 hard on his
mates.
Georgetowns first team will be
put together thusly, with the man
agement reserving the right to re-
wise the program without notice:
Center, Ed Derringe;;' guards, Pat
Paternoster and Ed Mcmahon;
tackles, El Blozis, definitely an ALL
America prospect, and George Per-
pich; ends, Art Lemke and Kopcik.
The Hoyas are comfortably fixed
for backs with Jack Doolan return
ing to lead the ground attack. Bull
let Ben" Reiges, who can heave the
leather half a fields length with
unerring aim, promises to supply a
better aerial ofTense than George
\ town ever has had Lou Falcone
at fullback; Ben Bulvin, Bill Nc
Laughlin, Johnny Barrett, Frank
Dornfeld and Joe Gyorgydeak.
4 Hagerty is not riding on velvet
with one good team. You've got
to have at least % men to play
the modern game with any success
and he must dig up and weld to-
gether a B outfit to bolster the
starters.
