BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

GeorgetoWn's clash with Mary
land, the eighth and final game of
series resumed in 1884 after lapse
of q years, headlines the weeks
sports program.
Victorious in the last three sklr-
mishes by increasingly wider mar
gins, after squeezing out a 7-6
verdictsin 1886 for it's first triumph
of the modern series, the Hoyas will
be favored again this time, but
they'll have a fight on their hands
Nothing would please the Terps
more than win. 1t would help
counteract the negative effects OF
$3.50 season, give them a A tie
with their neighbors for the mod
ern cluster of games and needle
them with new hope for the remain
ing games to come. But the cards
appear to be stacked against them.
Georgetown, despite its lacings by
Virginia Tech, Temple and Boston
College, still packs potent punch.
1t has a tough line with AL Blozis

snake -hipped backs and a burning
thirst for a fourth consecutive VIC

Brunswick.
Hoya Backs Dangerous.
Maryland, however, has trio OF
crack passers to offset the Hoyas'
power and that spells trouble for
Jack Hagerty's gang. Any time the
College Parkers have had a passer
in the backfeld, as they did when
Charley Ellinger and Charley Weld
niger were on the squad, they've
scored on the Hilltoppers. With
three in there tossing-good ones,
too-it might be landslide.
But whether the Terps have a
running attack comparable to their
rivals is something else again.
Georgetown has Frank Dornfeld and
Jack Doolan, both highly recon-
mended. but who have failed to eX-
plode thus far; Ben nil Bulb
Bulvin, Joe Gyorgydeak, Ben Reiges,

of record, that Dornfeld and DO0lan
burned a pathway to Maryland's end

enemy territory. They might get
hot again and lead the Terps on an
other merry chase And while Mary
land is putting a posse on their
trail any one of the other Hoyas
might break loose. particularly
Bulvin. who is enjoying his best sea-
son. So you can see Maryland has
a problem Of major proportions.
Terps Not Punchless.
Maryland will not be punchless

against Penn to win the average
game and had Duke on the run a
couple of weeks before. In between
those games it came from behind

Mearle Du Vail, to nose out a color
full and favored Florida eleven.
And the Terps have a couple OF
highly recommended backs them
selves. The red-headed Wright is
rated one of the outstanding soph-
omores of the year and one of the
best line-punchers in the East. In
Du Vail it has a passer of Al
caliber. Not as widely publicized,
but feared as much as these two is
Elmer Rigby, lad tagged by George

autumn as one to watch this season.
Rigby is southpaw passer.
Maryland with its passes and
Georgetown with its spreads hint a

to one of the best football series
that ever took root in the city's soil
