at Soldier Field.
Waterfield's losses to End Jim
Benton and Bones Hamilton. both
former University OF Arkansas re-
ceivers, are considered an especially
dire threat by the All-Star coaching
staff. Three intrasquad games have
revealed that the All-Stars are not
too adept on pass defense and that
phase now Is being hammered into
them in race against time.
Another weakness which the
coaches are trying to patch up be-
fore the All-Stars take the field be-
fore an expected crowd Of 95, 900 Is
the failure Of the lnemen and
blocking backs to protect the passer
on offense.

OF 103 Terps Opening
Preseason Drills

Football talent In large chunks Is
spread over the practice field at
University of Maryland with 103
would-be gridders getting in their
early lieks under Chief Assistant
Coach AL Heagy. The turnout yes
terday as fall practice opened was
far greater than expected. 1t con-
sisted mostly of green hands and
those who missed spring practice.
About 40 more will be on hand on
September 3 when Head Coach Clark
Shaughnessy returns from the West
Coast and those who took part in
spring practice report. Then the
competition for places on this years
Terp eleven should be nothing less
than terrific.
Practically nothing is known about
most of the youngsters who donned
cleats yesterday, but plenty Of beef
and Drawn is evident. They resemble
football players anyway.
Ex-Servicemen Prominent.
A number who showed UP have
been at College Park before. There
were boys from the 1914 squad who
missed spring practice, also a num-
Der from the 1912 team who have
been In the services, and even one
lad from back in 1910. The last is
George Simler. 6-foot-2. 1876 pound
end who looks very good.
The 1912 contingent is led by
Quarterback Tommy Mont, who
even in yesterdays light practice
was displaying some pleasing pass
ing. He kept his football eye in
shape while in the Army and this
year should be more of a bullseye
thrower than before. Other ~
lettermen on the field were Jack
Wright and Hubey Werner, two regu-
lar backs; Bob Jones. end: Ed. Cho-
vanes, guard, and Bill Byrd, guard
and center. With them was Marshall
Brandt, reserve end that year and
another tall boy.
Several ~ freshman players re-
ported including Jim Kurz, former
Central High star back; Bob Roul-
cite. another back. and Hank Neri
and John Fahrner, guards.
Players From "A Squad Out.
Bob Troll, Ranny Bishop, Nor
man Geatz and Vic Turyn from
the 1914 team are on hand already.
Turyn was the regular 1914 quarter
back and faces tough task trying
to beat out Mont for that post.
As for the others, they mostly are
newcomers to College Park. but one
player who comes with reputation
Is Stanford Levin from Pittsburgh,
who has had three years of high |
school experience as Information

The daily schedule mapped out
by Heagy calls for morning session
