Wake Forest Is New
Among 9 Opponents
Listed by 6. U.

Georgetown University and Uni
versity of Maryland will renew
football relations next fall, ac-
cording to the nine-game Hoya
schedule announced today.
The game, which shares honors
with the Georgetown George
Washington contest as q top
rivalry among Washington area
teams. will be played Saturday
afternoon, October lat College
Park. Indications are that the
much-talked-of new stadium at
Maryland will not be ready by
then, and the game likely will be
staged in Byrd Stadium. Top
capacity Of this plant, with its
limit of bleachers in place. is
10000.
Only other newcomer to the
Georgetown schedule this fall will
be Wake Forest The Deacons are
returning after a one-year ab-
sence. They defeated the Hoyas
in the two games they have played
in 1916 and 1947. Tulsa beaten
by Georgetown last year, is drop
ped. Other teams being played
again this fall are Holy Cross. New
York u, Boston College, Fordham,
Villanova, Denver and George
Washington. Last year George
town won three games, lost four
and tied one.
Rivalry Dates From '94.
The Georgetown Maryland foot
ball rivalry stretches back to 1894,
when Maryland was the Maryland
Agricultural College. Fifteen
games have been played in the
series, the last in 1941. when
Georgetown won, 26-0. That was
the year the Hoyas won five and
dropped four games with a team
built around big AL Blozis in the
line and Art Lemke and Chris
Pavich on the ends.
The Hoyas have won II games
and Maryland 4 in the series.
Eight were played in the modern"
series from 1894 through 1941.
The 1884 game was the first be-
tween the two since 1907. a year
in which the contest was marked
by several near fights and protests
from Maryland players that 1--WE
can't beat the referee" They
left the field in protest and during
their absence the Hoyas scored
an unopposed touchdown that
later was disallowed.
Last Of Mayland's four victories
over Georgetown came in 1887
by a 1875 score before a turnout
of $4,000 at Griffith Stadium.
Terps Prospective Favorites.
Although Georgetown has won
the big majority of games against
Maryland. early indications are
that Maryland might be favored
this fall. Both teams will have
many newcomers up from their
freshman teams. Prize freshman
at Maryland may be Ed Modzelew-
ski, a hefty fullback. while George
town has a couple of promising
new comers in Bob Deacon and
Francis Mattingly, both talented
Fl formation quarterbacks. The
Hoyas also have a good halfback
prospect in Warren McFague, but
line prospects were hurt two weeks
ago when a large number of last
years freshmen hunked out.
Georgetown under new coach,
Bob Margarita, very likely will go
into the T formation after years
of single-wing and spread under
Jack Hagerty. recently promoted
to atheletic director. Maryland
has used the split T for the last
two years under Coach Jim
Tatum, but Tatum has been talk
ing of trying the single wing.

Smyrna Completely Snowbound
February '99 will go down in
history as record breaker for the
intensity of the zero weather of
last week and the fearful blizzard
that ragged with fury, Sunday
night, all day Monday and Monday
night. Within the memory of our
oldest inhabitants such weather
has never been experienced, nor
has snow in so much quantities
ever been seen in this vicinity. It
far surpasses the blizzard of '88,
and no one can call to recollection
q storm of such dimensions that
can eclipse it.
When the cold wave began to
moderate on Saturday, the people
never thought that blizzard was
on its way. Saturday night it grew
cloudy and began to snow gently.
Sunday morning our citizens
awoke to find the ground covered
with three or four inches. All day
Sunday it kept showing until at
night, the wind got around to the
northeast and the blizzard came on
in force. Monday morning few ven-
tured out of doors, and only those
who were obliged to attend to bus

Town Election

The citizens of Smyrna viii
go to the polls on Monday,
February % to elect a Mayor
and two Councilmen, who
with the two holdover Coun-
cilmen, Ralph G. FAIRIES and
Glenn S. King, will govern the
town of Smyrna for the next
two years.
The fact that there are con-
tests for both the Office of
Mayor and the two Council
seats, certainly in itself, dis
plays considerable interest in
the affairs of the town. Town
government should interest
every citizen, if not by active
ly seeking Office, by helping
select the men that fill these
offices, by casting their ballot
on election day.
Smyrna is a growing COM
munity and the men elected
next Monday should be men of
vision, men who can see that
any improvements or expan-
sion projects should not mere
ly meet the needs Of today but
those of an expanded tomor-
row. With this in mind, you
the citizens, should give con-
siderable thought to each OF
the eight candidates, decide
which of these men have the
ability and best interest of
Smyrna at heart and then
cast your ballot accordingly.
Remember, the men elected
are your servants and
should act in the interest of
the majority.
Do your duty on Monday
and vote for the men whom
you think have demonstrated
ability and the genuine well
fare of Smyrna at heart.

Monday night, and on Tuesday

and the atmosphere clear and cold,
with thermometers registering
degrees above zero. The country
roads are being broken slowly.
From Duck Creek to town, there

The Neck roads are all bound UP

it may be several days before
some of the places are heard from.
The avenue to Clayton is being
broken much faster.
