Southern Conference football game
to be played between william and
Mary and Maryland at College Park
Saturday afternoon, for 1t was Just
40 years ago that they met for the
first and last time, and the Indians,
beaten then, surely are thirsting for
revenge.
The scene has changed radically
for at least one man who'll have
great interest In Saturdays battle.
A 16-year-old soph of that year by
the name of Curley Byrd was wear
ing the uniform of the Maryland
Agricultural College that November
1, 1905, when the Aggies toma'
hawked the Indians, ITO, at Viii
liamsburg. And that same Curle!
Byrd, with lot of degrees tackled
to his name, today is president of
the University of Maryland, and will
sit in box and see what happens
without him in the lineup.
Quarterbacked Team.
Byrd, along with his degrees and
high responsibilities, has taken on
some weight, but with hat covering
his shock of gray hair Git once was
jet-black) he is said to have about
the same facial expression as when
he played right end in that game
40 years ago.
He changed to quarterback the
next season, then, as now, not being
content unless he was running
things. He did all right, too, as a
general, captained the 1907 eleven
and came back five years laSer to
coach football and to quarterback
the College Park and Baltimore
schools into one team and the whole
U. of M. outfit to top rung on the
educational ladder.
Byrd weighed all of 139 pounds
when he. played against william and
Mary and got little heavier during
his athletic career. which included
stardom in baseball and track, as
we'll as football. He competed only
three years, as he was admitted to
M. A. G. as a sophomore and he
finished tough engineering course
in that space of time.
Fred Z. Nielsen, later noted in
diplomatic and State Department
circles, was coach when Byrd ar
rived at College Park from Crisfield
to play on an eleven that, with the

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Major league
baseball owners, eying bulging rost-
ers for the first time since 1912,
gathered today to take a look-see at
more than 5000 minor league play
ers who are up for grabs in the an
nual draft.
But the return of servicemen to
the big leagues, plus present per-
sonnel, left the magnates in a rath-
er comfortable position insofar as
manpower is concerned. Conse-
quently there wasn't expected to be
any knock-down-d -drag-out bidding
for the major leaguers.
One of the club owners, Connie
Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics,
expressed belief that there wasn't a
player in the minors worth the draft
prices, which range from $500 In
Glass AA leagues to $4,000 for Glass
D circuit players.
First Draft for Chandler.
The draft meeting was the first
for basebalPs new commissioner, A..
B. Chandler, but indications were
that not all of the big league owners
would show up in view of the pros
pective dull player market.
Under the rotation system gov
erning the player selection, first
choice for any of the 5,434 on the
draft list, goes to the American
League eighth-place Athletics, with
the tailend National League Phillies
having second choice.
Although selections, If any, will
be made today, the rules permit

players at a cost of s15oOo0.
