Harvard | and Princeton do not have a con- | test scheduled until October 4, but the great majority of the| other big Eastern schools, like Yale, are due to get under way next Saturday. Word has come down here from Yale men up at the Yale Club, in New York, | that the Dark Blue's real objective for opening & week earlier is to get in shape to give the University of Maryland a whipping. Yale, In arranging its schedule for this Fall, shifted Maryland from November 1 to October 4, and ap- parently did not care to play the game without having another before that. A Yale man yesterday told the writer: “Up in New York, at the Yale Club, we have the greatest respect for Mary- land, but we do want to win that game this year at least by what we consider a reasonable margin from our point of view. In the last few years the Maryland game has not had a very satisfactory ending, from our view- point.” Incidentally, it might be mentioned here that in all probability it was | Yale's intention to give the Marylanders | & good whipping before dropping that | school from its schedule. It is virtu- inset is ally a foregone conclusion that Yale is not going to play Maryland again for some little time. Many Play Saturday. Pennsylvania does ot open #chedule until October 4, but, with the exception of Harvard, Navy, Princeton | and Penn, nearly all other big East- | ern schools meet more or less formi- dable opponents. Penn State has a game with Niagara University, Pitts- burgh plays Waynesburg, Cornell en- tertains Clarkson, Lafayette faces St. Thomas, Columbia meets Middlebury, Brown has Rhode Island State and Army plays Boston University. Georgia Tech is about the only big Bouthern schoo! that does not open until the first Saturday in October, However, the Atlanta school does not start. an easy contest, having Sbéuth Carolina listed. Out in the Far West Stanford opened its schedule last week with a game against an Army eleven, but meets a much stronger opponent in the Olympic Club of San Francisco. California starts this week with Santa Clara, which is not a soft spot very ofien In the Middle West the University of Michigan opens with two contests, one Ypsilanti and the other with | on.

Last year the Tarheels| whipped the Baptists by about 50 points | and probably could have won by & good | many more than that had they been | minded to push themselves. Duke Uni- | versity probably has the hardest open- | ing game to be played by any school in the South Atlantic section, meeting as it does, South Carolina. As a matter of fact, it would not be much of a sur- prise if South Carolina were to whip the Durham eleven. Virginia in Easy Tilt Virginia has another ea: meeting Randolph-Macon. Polytechnic Institute is not likely to have ‘much more difficulty with Roa- noke than did Virginia, while Richmond hardly is strong enough to do any- thing more than give Washington and Lee just about the kind of game it desires, Virginia Military Institute usually has opened its season at such a time that it could play two games in Beptember, but this year does not be- gin until & week later. It has Rich- mond for its first encounter. | As far as the South Atlantic section 48 concerned it would not be surprising if some of the best foot ball ever shown by its teams is played. There seems no doubt that the teams generally have better material than usual. Especially | is this true of North Carolina and Washington and Lee. Virginia Mili- tary Institute scems to be about the only school below its standard, and it may be that it is not below its stan- dard but po: a little below its highwater mark of last season.

The Followers of School Believe That Coach McNamara DEVITT MAY HAVE GOOD ELEVEN DESPITE LOSSES Will Be Able to Build Combination Around Few Remaining Veterans., ESPITE the loss of seven sea- soned performers from last year's crack machine; despite the pessimism of some, Devitt Prep followers are making no bones about their opinion on the foot ball prospects, which is, to-wit, that Coach Jim McNamara is going to whip to- gether a powerful eleven from the small nucleus of Capt. Bits Schriver, Francis | Bernard, Charley Rose and Paul Tan- gora and a large group of untried, but husky and peppery aspirants. “Sure, they're big all Mght, but gosh, they're as green as grass,” was Coach Gingras: McNamara's comment as he stood, with a typical “Gil Dobie” expression on his face, watching his squad scrimmage. It is doubtful if a huskier bunch of athletes ever represented Devitt on the gridiron, but for the most part they are unseasoned, some, in fact, experienc- ing the touch of a pigskin for the fitst time, McNamara has been working ‘em out daily, spending most of the time teaching them the fundamentals and the rudiments of tackling, block- ing and the like, The average weight of the 10 lead- ing line candidates is 181 pounds, a total of which even strong college teams always do not boast of. The back- field, for which five players, Francis Bernard, Ray Millard, Bit Schriver, George Nagroni and Joe Cronin, are outstanding, averages 156 pounds, but looks shifty and fast, with Cronin looming as the battering ram. “Count” Cornweli, weli-known man- ager at Devit., submits this list of the leading candidates and their weights: Line—Tangora (180), Moore (250), Rosenthal (260), Harvey (190), Cook (170), Mayo (150), Sampson (175) Rose ' (150), Childress (145) and Con- nolly (150). Backfield — Bernard (175), Nagroni_(150), and Millard (150). Besides those veterans from last year. Devitt has several newcomers who have seen action with other local schools. Ray Millard, one of the putstanding broken-field runners 4n_the inter-high school series last year while playing for Western, appears to have lost none of that saiftiness, while Noble Cook, an- other former Western High athlele, is fighting for a line berth. Joe Rosen- thal, the 260-pound heavyweight, was a member of the Central squad, as was Bill Childress, while Bob Mayo saw a little service with Tech.

Sturdy cleared 13 feet even in the pole vault, while Pickard's best effort was 12 fect 6 inches.

From the team which scampered over a dozen gridirons last Fall to collect 492 points and claim highest scoring honors of the Nation—the same team which tied for the Pacific Conference title and then brought the season to & close by swamping Pittsburgh, 47 to 14, in the annual tournament of roses in- tersectional clash—12 letter men will be back in the fold.
