ALLAUDET. in opening its 1 (Georgetown and Catholic G 926 foot ball campaign Saturday,by opposing St. John's College of Annapolis at Kendall Green, should provide the best contest of the week end on local gridirons.

While the Kendall Greeners are depending upon speed, the line is heavier than usual and some of the backs have plenty of poundage. There are two triple-threat men in the Gallaudet squad this vear—Byouk. who was an all-around s ago, and Dyer, a newcomes the latter it does not car much weight touted as a “sec the latter, who played Green in 1924, was the bset gridman that Gallaudet has possessed in recent | years. | Both Byouk and Dyer are punters of well above the average. with the, former excelling. His booting is ex- | pected to play a very important part | in Gallaudet's yames. Marshall, Hokanson and Zieski are | other aspirants for backfield berths who are doing good work in practice. Maryland will have to be much bet- ter against Chicago both on offense and defense than it was in a scrim- mage with the Marines yvesterday at ‘ollege Park if the Old Liners are to make a creditable showing in the Windy City. While Marvland did good work at times, the Old Liners play was erratic.

Maryland, nsing players, beat the Eastern Shore aggregation, 63 to 0. on Nep tember 25 and Georgetown shouid run up abolQit as many peints as it pleases. Catholic U. is not underrating the Lovola team, despite the fact that William and Mary easily trounced the Raltimoreans, 20 to 0. last Saturday. as the Brooklanders are ansious to take the spite on somebody for what | happened at Roston. hen. too, Loyola also has its fences to rebuild and doubtless will be in a fighting mood when it opposes the McAuliffe eleven.

HE leader of the Bucknell ‘gridders this season is William tephens. Capt. Stephens, who is a resident of Johnstown, the town made famous by the memorable flood, learned his Pa | A, B. (s of foot ball in the high schools of his home town. Hie is a guard and is now entering on his third season as regular var- sity lineman on the strong Bucknell eleven. Capt. Stephens is one of the most valuable men on the line, as he has an uncanny faculty for diagnosing his opponents’ plays and adjusting him- <elt and his line accordingly. When it comes to defensive work he is not Surpassed by any guard in the East. He is a star at stopping plays through his sector and has been responsible in a large way for the low scores to which Bucknell teams of the past two years have held their opponents. Foot ball is the only sport activity of Capt. Stephens. COACH. HARLES B. MORAN. the man who made Centre College famous, is the coach of the Bucknell eleven for this season, this being the third year that he has acted in that capacity. 1t was during his first coaching experience in the popular Fall sport at the Kentucky institution that he first brought his name to the public in a foot hall wa He brought an unheralded team from Danville to play some of the best teams in the East. and their play against their opponents makes one of the most colorful spots in foot ball history for the past 10 years. The teams he turned out at Centre College were, without a doubt, the most picturegque that ever graced a gridiron, and numbered among others the famous Alva “Bo” McMillin and “Red” Roberts, both of whom made Walter Camp's first all-:America elevens. Tle himself is a Texas A. and M. graduate. but never played foot ball. The open lockstep formation that he resurrected is his most famous play. although he has much success with the end shift and off-tackle lunge here at Bucknell. His elevens in the past two vears have upset some leading elevens, among them the Navy and Georgetown, Bucknell being the only team to defeat the latter school last Fall. Coach Moran is a National League umpire during the base ball season. The schedule of Bucknell for this season foliows: October 2—Washington and Jefferson, 17; Bucknell, 2. October 9-—George Washington at Lewisburg. October 16— Villanova at Wilkes-Barre. October 23—Getiysburg at Gettysburg. October 30—Haskell Indians at Lawrence, Kans. November 6—Lehigh at Lewisburg.
