In Benefit Game =,

The 1948 edition of the Washing
ton Caps pro basket ball team will
be unfolded Sunday night in one
half of an exhibition double-header
at Uline Arena, but there will. be
some changes made before it goes
to press against the Philadelphia

At least three members of the
squad will be dropped to bring, the
team down to player-limit strength.
Thus, Sundays attraction, sponsored
by the Touchdown Club for its
Welfare Fund, takes on significance.
All the Caps will be out to show
Red Auerbach why they should be
kept on the payroll. It's pretty

A big man is hard to find. Ac.
cording to Auerback no one wants

indication of things to come. The

feature their same razzle-dazzle play
with John Palmer and Carl Braun

The Caps will have their original

dition to Hermsen, two former
George Washington players in Don
McNary and Mat zunic, three play
ers back from last year in Dick
OKeefe. Sonny Hertzberg and Jack
Tingle, and Leo Katkaveck, former
North Carolina standout.
The Bullets will have Mahnken,
obtained from Washington for
Hermsen. Mahnken, former George
town standout, was a failure with
the Caps last year. He was ac-
cused, among other things, of not
giving his best. This year Big John

Rowland Fears
TerpsWithout
ANY NewFri||s
Colonial Coach Says
He Knows No Way to
Penetrate Defense

( Puzzling Coach Bo Rowland Of
the George Washington football
team is just where to attack against
Maryland on Saturday afternoon
when they meet in their big game
at Griffith Stadium I'm not try
ing to outmoan Jim Tatum tthe
Maryland coach.' says Rowland,
but they've got me puzzled about
how to go about gaining a yard
against them
/ Rowland sounds like a proud and
loyal Maryland alumnus when he
talks about the Maryland team
which he's seen play game or two
this year. You know how big
those guards and tackles are" says
Bo No use trying to run inside.
If we try the ends, they'll chase us
right up into the stands. And If
we pass-well. you know they've got
one of the best pass defenseS in the
country"
Bo says. though, that he's cooked
up nothing new or fancy for the
game. He'll try no trick plays, he
says. "Shucks," he goes on. I'VE
have enough trouble getting our
few simple little plays to work. l
know we'd be lost If we tried any
fancy stuff. No, sir, Jim Tatum
doesn't have to worry about us on
Saturday"
Hopes Maryland Changes.
On the other hand. Rowland
would like it very much If Tatum
came up with a new Maryland
attack. Il certainly do hope he
tries some new plays against us.
That old stuff of his I've seen
that handoff and that lateral and
those passes-work too doggone
good. Maybe if he'd try some other
plays against us. sort of experiment
like coaches do in an easy game,
they might not work so good"
/ It's conceded that the George
Washingtons have their hands full
on Saturday afternoon, with Mary
land at present a 12-point favorite
Vern Seibert, Maryland right half
back and the teams leading ground
gamer. who played only part OF
the Duke game because of a minor
leg injury. figures to be back at full
strength by Saturday. Quarterback
Vic Turyn's passing in practice
looks sharp and he also is becom-
/ ing a double threat because of his
running. Harry Bonk, the fullback,
and Hubie Werner, left half, also
can be counted on for -some good
ground gaining in all games.
Build Defense Around Davis.
George Washington's answer to
this varied offensive likely will be
built around Andy Davis, its 60
minute triple-threat. Maryland is
certain to be watching Andy closely,
however, and if he's bottled up it
might be the means of shaking loose
some of G. W.'s other backs. Davis
alternates at fullback and left half
with Dick Koester and Koester has
shown well on several occasions.
Jimmy Kline and AL Dugoff, the
G. w. right halfbacks who do the
ball carrying on Rowlands spinner
and reverse plays, both have had
their moments this year, and 1t all
adds up to the fact that despite the
headlines Davis has been getting,
and deservedly so, he isn't the only
player in the G. w. backfield. Any
Of these others could hit their stride
and take some of the load off him.
Overdue for some excellent run
ming and passing are such as Joe
Buell. and Joe Bernot. They haven't
got going yet the way they can
and Saturday would be a good time
for them to start

Fordham may not learn until
shortly before game time tomorrow
night whether its top passer, Dick
Doheny, will be ready to face
Georgetown in Griffith Stadium.
The Rams and Hoyas meet for the
21st time at $3.50 o'clock.
Doheny underwent a minor opera
ton on his ear at Union Hospital
in New York yesterday and must
wait from "a to 40 hours to learn
whether or not he will be fit.
Doheny currently ranks third in
the Eastern intercollegiate Football
Association passing records with %
competitions in so attempts. five for
touchdowns. If Doheny is unable to
play, his place in the 'T" formation
backfield will be taken by Bill Schin-
nerer or Bill White All three are
sophomores.
Host of Sophomores.
At least nine sophomores, ano
possible an entire second-year team
will start for the Rams. Stan
Bloomer in the backfield and Heft
Seidel at center are, the only non-
sophs with a chance to break into
the starting lineup.
Coach Ed Danowski of the Rams
insisted yesterday that his young
team "had a chance" against the
Hoyas, as Danowski reasonably ex-
poets improvement in each game
from his young club The coach said
the youngsters had been jittery in
the first quarter of most games this
year but they gradually showed signs
OF getting over it, and their blocking
and tackling was improving.
Fordham will produce a new
mascot for the Georgetown game
1t will be either Ramses XII or

confusion on Rose Hill. The new
ram was acquired on Monday.
Fordham will leave early tomor-
row and arrive here at l:30 pm.
Pass Defense Stressed.
Meanwhile, at Georgetown the
accent was on pass defense, as the
Hoyas fully expect Doheny to be
ready. With the Hoyas holding an
edge in weight and experience on
the line, Coach Jack Hagerty ex-
