Wins Praise of Critics—Maryland BYR.D. head coach, Lou Little. S Today an teacher was expec aceus;otn;’ed enerzg'. & laye! e poorest ga. 3 y“Cv()lly. wasn't it awful!” to tell the pupils al to the gym where ensu According to Little, “We should have been able to beat Mount St. Mary's without ever using a forward pass” he said today, “but that turned out to be the only play we could de much with.” ‘Western Maryland is coming to the Hilltop Saturday with a team of an- noying strength. coached by the highly rvespected Dick Harlow. A 34-0 victory over Baltimore University in their open- ing game was no citerion of the Ter- rors’ power. One can look back to last Fall to a clash between the Western Maryland and University of Maryland 'freshmen and surmise considerable. What is now the Terrapins’ sophomore team was beaten 18-0 by the Terror yearlings, but the score might just as Swell have been 50-0, 'tis said. The West- ern Marpland taem showed all sorts of wer and Harlow plucked a ‘bountiful mrven of material for this year's varsity. 5 Foot ball critics of Boston say that Catholic_University's line ou!pll{ed the Boston College forwards and but for a bit of 1l fortune the :ame would have been a tie. A 15-yard penalty enabled Boston to score the deciding touchdown. Imerlennc‘:fl with maultzrmwud - ‘:l; ceiver, plainly unintentions s brought the penalty that put the ball within a few yards of the Catholic Uni- versity goal. The Boston player had no chance to catch the oval, which was many feet beyond reach, and a racing Cardinal slightly bumped him. Jack McAuliffe, the Cardinal coach, was well pleased with the showing of his team and accepted the break philo- sophically. l""X’he penalty was within the rules,” he said, “but it was extremely strict enforcement.” Catholic University _students and alumni are wellnigh jubilant over the performance in Beantown. After long tough sledding, McAuliffe finally Ra: found the stuff to make a foot % team and apparently has done a work- manlike job. The morale at Brookland has never been higher. McAuliffe gave the var- sity a day off yesterday. knowing that his squad would snap into ‘hings for the remainder of the week in prepara- tion for the clash Saturday with Mount St. Mary's. Jack was particularly well pleased with the all-around play of Capt. Joe Malevich at fullback Saturday, and the two second-string ends, Rocco Blasi and Johnny Lyons. It may be & mis- rating to term these flankmen second- stringers. “As a matter of fact” to quote As- sistant Coach Chick Gagnon, “the Bos- ton game convinced us that we have four first-string ends.” Maryland faces a herculean task Sat- urday against North Carolina, but the Terrapins will be in there fighting. Ex- perienced observers say the Tarheels have probably the strongest team in their history and certainly one of the most powerful on the Dixie grid this season. N A heartless humorist suggested that Coach Byrd forfeit the game. Byrd was down to Chapel Hill watching North ‘Caroline. swamp Wake Forest, 48 to 0, and without effort at that, while the ‘Terrapins were beating Washington College Park, 34 to 7. Despite the decisive score, Byrd re- ceived reports of the Terrapins’ per- formance that were not all praise. OME of Georgetown’s gridders may have thought they did passing well to beat a fighting Mount St. Mary’s eleven, 26-0, but not the d for the next several the sometimes fiery foot ball ted to roar all over the place with more than hoping to put punch in a team which he declares e within his knowledge for a Hilltop opener. he groaned yesterday and proceeded 1 about it. After an hour’s scrimmage he hied 'em ed a vitriolic lecture. his team did just about nothing quite right. Team of Annoying Power Faces Great Team. THOMAS. COLGATE GRIDDERS {Wisconsin to Play Host to| Eastern Team for First Time in History. | By the Associated Press. | HICAGO, October 1.— For the | first time in 30 years an East- | ern foot ball squad will invade i Madison, Wis., Saturday. Col- 1 gate University will represent the East and the game will mark the first visit of a team from that section on a big ten field this season. The last eastern opponent to meet the Badgers at home was Yale, which scored a one-touchdown victory in 1899. Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite of the 1929 Wisconsin machine is working his squad at top speed to prepare a team which will even the score with the East. He turned eight men over to the B squad yesterday and started con- centrating on the men who will com- pose his squad for the rest of the sea- | son. Coach Harry Kipke of Michigan also divided his talent, saving 35 of the 43 | men who got into last week's double- | header, for his varsity squad. The list | | includes 15 sophomores, about the same | number of first year men &s were on the 1925 team, which Fielding H. Yost | | described as Michigan's greatest. The | | Wolverines will tackle Michigan State | | Saturday. | Indiana is being drilled on defensive tactics and blocking for its homecoming contest Saturday with Notre Dame. | Coach Pat Page told his men yesterday that poor blocking by the backs was | 1argely responsible for the defeat of the | reserves by Ohio University, and a long | drill on that phase of the game fol- lowed. Jowa, Ohio State and Northwestern, all were sent throu crimmage ses- sions yesterday. ch Hanley at Northwestern was disappointed in the work of his linemen last week 2gainst the freshmen and gave most of his time to them. Jowa, with a 46-to-0 victory as a starter, was given a number of new plays and immediately tried them out | in scrimmage. Ohio State showed con- siderable power against the reserves, scoring 28 points and holding the subs scoreless. Another scrimmage was on the Buckeye proglm today, in prepar- ing for the opening game of the season Saturday with Wittenberg. Illinois and Purdue will tackle oppo- nents from Kansas, the Illini meeting the University of Kansas, while Purdue will open up with the Kansas es. Tliinois and Kansas have exchanged informaticn on plays to be used in the game at Urbana. Minnesota has Coe for its initial opponent, and Dr. Spears still is experimenting with backfield | combinations and ends. Pitt Invades South Satur‘tidy To Help Open Duke’s Stadium BY HERBERT W.

Pittsburgh's great machine travels South to ham, N.

In one the attack is so planned as to lead the defense into believing & run is coming. This tends to draw the defensive backs forward and permits at least one man get- ting past them to receive the pass. In the second the basic ides is to decoy one side of the defensive back- field out of the territory it occuples and then slip an eligible man into it to receive the pass. Against a man- to-man defense this is often accom- plished just as Columbie works the Pplay shown here. Note how end No. 6 and back No. 2 break down field and turn in to their left to draw with them the defen- sive left half and full. Following them comes No. 3 back. But instead Colgate team is booked for an argument with Wisconsin at Madison. Yale, Harvard and Princeton open against minor opposition, but there is general cunuu‘y as to what they will have to offer this season. Harvard opens with Bates, Yale with Vermont and Princeton with Amherst.

Coach Lou Young of Pennsylvania | also tinkered with his line-up to find out why it hadn't functioned Eopefly against a fighting Franklin and Marshal team. Swarthmore is next on the Penn list, and Young is hoping for something more than 14 points. Finding the 15,000 seats at Ohio Field insufficlent, New York university has transferred its Saturday game with West Virginia Wesleyan to the Polo Grounds. More than 17,000 fans jammed into Ohio Field to watch the Violets cruakh Vermont in the opening game last week. ! Bill Roper must have a collection of “mud runners” at Princeton this year.

Shoes are the ‘costliest item at $15, shoulder pads, hip pads_and head guard each entail an expense of about $12, and coats, knee pads, jackets, cloth shirts, pants and jerseys make up the balan ce. Fordham would be interested in knowing just how Head Coach Frank Cavanaugh is to be pleased.

Life isn't all a bed of roses for the Army's mule; far from it. Instead of being the pampered pet of the cadet corps, he pulls & post garbage wagon when not holding forth in_his infrequent periods of glory as West Point’s foot ball mas- cot. Only on the occasion of the Army’s biggest games is the monot- ony of his somewhat lazy existence in the shafts of a refuse cart broken perhaps not more than half a dozen times in a season. Then he comes into his own as an honored particie pant in all the color and pageantry for which such contests are noted. On the day of the game he is re- lieved of his regular assignment, placed in the hands of ‘s hostler, who shines and sleeks him appropri ately and drapes over his back & blanket in Army colors, An extra portion of oats is included. .

Students have been anxiously await- ing the outcome of the time-schedule meeting, and from the players' ranks at least, a decision for the earlier hour would be greeted with applause. When the Business High School eleven sallied forth to meet Emerson Institute_on the Monument lot today, Freddy Finley, three-lstter man and star tackle, led his teammates, as he was elected captain yesterday. H» Is one of the outstanding 1-around | athletss at the school. In addition to | his berth on the grid squad, he is looked to as one of the mainstays of the diamond team and the basket ball quintet. Coach Woodworth expressed his doubts as to his light line's abllity to reut the heavier Emerson squad. | Emerson’s line today was expected to be vmmufiv the same as the one that took the field last Saturday, with the exception that McDonald was expected to replace Brandson at left guard and Scanlon to start in the backfield in- stead of Baggett. ‘Eastern High and Loyola will play at Eastern Friday afternoon instead of in | Baltimore, as had been planned origi- | nally. oach Dan_ Ahern at Western is a bit blue over his prospects, with 15 of his most promising grosnecu out of the game because of scholastic ineligibility.
