A ¥ C=2 Navy-Maryland Ga NOTABLE CRO CLASSIC CONTEST HERE Corps of Midshipmen Will Earned Them Great Distinction—Hoyas Face Another T BY H. C. BYRD. OR many years the news- papers of Washington, and followers of foot ball gen- erally, have bemoaned the fact that the National Capital has had npothing in the way of re2l possibi'ities of a big foot ball game, such a game as usually fills stands to overflowing and provides the color and sidelights that make | a game something more than a! game. This week, unless all signs; fail, with the meeting of Navy and! Maryland at Clark Griffith Sta- dium the unlooked for will come to pass. Not only is there a great foot ball struggle in prospect, bug in all probability the most color- ful crowd that has ever filled the local field will lend to the game) that something that not many games have. Arrangements have been completed for the attendance of the entire bri- gade of Midshipmen. Under direction of the naval officers stationed at the Academy, it is planned that the mid- shipmen will come to Washington and leave the trains at the Baltimore & Ohio freight yards at Third street and | Florida avenue northeast. From there | they will march to Seventh street and | Florida avenue and enter the field | about a quarter of 2. The Midship- men have been working out various aisplays of colored cards for use in their cheering along the lines they first used with such success in New | York last year at the Army-Navy game. And there is no other group in the East, except the Army, which is | not so large, that provides as colorful | a display as the men who wear the Navy blue. GREAT many dignitaries of the Federal Government and of Mary- land are to be present, also with | representatives of fcreign governments. In fact, as far as Maryland is con- cerned, it is lkely that the great ma- jority of those concerned in a large way with the public life of the State | will be in the stands. A large num- | bet of these, certainly more than half, are University of Maryland graduates. In Congress. for instance, one of the Senators, Millard S. Tydings, and four of the six Representatives, Gambrill, Cole, Linthicum and Palmisano, are comcerned with the game as alumni of the Old Line University. ‘The Navy Band will be on the side- | linés’ with “the Midshipmen, while the Maryland Band, one of the best student bafids in the East, by the way, is due ! to have a place in front of the visiting | team dugout. No other game Maryland has ever played has so aroused the interest of its ‘alumni and students. The contest this week seems to have taken prece- dence in this respect over the one of | Jast year, and that was by far a high- | water mark. A year ago the Old Linc | elsven went to Annapolls to battl through a great struggle which it lost by 6 to 0, the one touchddwn being | made by Lou Kirn in the-Tirst ‘minute of play on a 65-yard run after breaking | i the line. The contest after that was just about as heartrending for Navy as for Maryland, as several times the latter knocked at the touch- down door only to be met with a last diteh resistance it could not overcome. | -8 far as the game Saturday is con- cerned, the outlook seems to be fo just about the same kind of a con- test as that last Fall. Navy got by its opening game with William and Mary much easier than the score indicates, as 1t played a second team virtually the whole of the first half. Maryland also has passed through its first two | encounters with a clean sheet, and has | shown flashes of real ability. | It is impossible for anybody to figure | what may happen in such a game. In | the Kavy backfleld and in the Mary- | land backfield are fast men who, once | they clear the line of scrimmage, may | “30 to glory,” to use a {66t bail ex- | pression. Kirn, generally regarded in | 1930 as one of the best running backs in the country, again is behind the Navy line. Maryland backs have shown plenty of ability to gain ground, but have been guilty of a lot of costly fumbling. GOOD deal of publicity has come | out of Annapolis this year about Navy's green team. but, as a mat- tet of fact, practically all the men who will play Saturday were either in the Maryland game last year or were mem- bera of the varsity squad. Some atories that have come from Annapolls indi- cated that Navy would have to depend on mrhmures for its main strength, but of the 26 men who played against William and Mary Saturday only four ‘weré sophs and all the others veterans of previous varsity campaigns. And it might be mentioned that Kirn, the best Navy back, did not play at all. In truth, Navy actually will have a véteran sql:fld and probably come over here with the full knowledge that it is in shape to put up a great game. Of coufse, that is nothing unusual for a Navy foot ball team, as there have been | few Navy elevens in past years that could not give good accounts of them- selves. Navy always has a team of and it always is a cardinal there that to fight hard | ~nough to win is the kind of spirit that L 1ilds up a fine morale. ARYLAND proved against Virginia that 1t 1s not entirely without | morale itself, as it came through and won after it had gone through enough setbacks and been in enough | holes, largely through its own misplays, to discourage almost any team. The Old Liners will put on the field a hard- p'aying eleven, one that thould be able | to take care of itself, provided it cures | its_fumbling ills. There is not much doubt that the game iteelf should be everything that a close gridiron struggle should be, trith all the thrills that go to make up such a contest. And back of the game will be the color And Interss: that makes such contests liks nothing else in the way of athletic competition. And the combination seems certain t3 give to ‘Washington just what most people have claimed it needs—a game that really is more than a game, a game that sym- bolizes not only the anclent death-grip struggles of man, but adds to that the keen sparring of alert minds, and in addition arouses those emotions that | bestir the ambitions of men to great accomplishments. HILE 'Navy and Maryland are | battling here, Georgetown's eleven | will also be facing another strong | foe in New York City, New York Uni- | vereity. ‘The Blue and Gray eleven, aiming this week to correct its faults, | is fired with a confidénce that comes of | its victory of Saturday over Western | Maryland. The Blue and Gray knows | that it will be againet one ci the stromgest elevens in the country, and is sure to prepare accordingly. Qeorgetown's victory over Western | Maryland really denotes & gond deal more than the average person would think, as the play of Western Mary- WD TO SEE Display Stunts That Have est This Week. land shows pretty conclusively what scme have strongly suspected all the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

BY RALPH CANNON. | HICAGO, “ October 5. — Notre | Dame and Northwestern deco- i rated the stage in fine style for | their big battle here Saturday by polishing off supposedly competent { opposition to their opening encounters !in a very conVincing manner. ‘ Northwestern sent out the word to be {ready for a big tough linz and a scin- | tilating backfield ace, “Pug” Rentner, while smashing Nebraska into a nonen- last. In the opening game they almost | vhipped Boston College, and then in |tity, 19 to 7, while Notre Dame poured W their second they ran roughshod over | through the softening Hoosiers in the a falr opponent. EORGE WASHINGTON did just what it was expected to do, wipe up the fleld with Elon Collega. The visitors from North Carolina sim- ply had nothing to compare with the local eleven. American University and udet gave almost conclusive indi- n that they are far from as streng as they have been in the past, cspecially Gallaudet. American University may develop rapidly, but in the case of Gal- Jaudet it simply scems to be that it does not have he material. T. MARY'S COLLEGE certainly is _making things miserable for the big Californin universities. After going down to Los Angeles in the open- ing game for University of Southern California and wiping up the gridircn with Howard Jones' veteran outfit, it dropped up to Berkel'y Saturday and knocked the spots of. the University of California eleven. The State Univer- sity s where Bill Ingram, former Navy coach, now has charge of foot ball. Virginia Polytechnic Institute was not much of a match for Georgia.

ARVARD, Yale and Princeton opened their seasons with a bang —the bang being largely the sound of the spanking they gale, re: spectively, to Bates, Maine and Am herst. These opening contests showed nothing other than that the three big schools wanted easy icst contests with which to open their scihcdules and in preparation for which they would not have to worry about bringing their teams along too fast ENNSYLVANIA'S change of athletic system apparently has no. affect- ed a good deal its scoring power on the gridiron. at least not against Swarthmore.

RESERVES TO FACE GALLAUDET Bergman Will Give Second and Third Teams Chance in . Contest Friday. Having shown to advantage againsi City College's bulky eleven Saturday, Catholic University's foot ball reserves likely will be called upon in still greater numbers over the current week end. When Gallaud=t is faced in Brook- land bowl Friday afternoon Head Coach Arthur Bergman intends making use of both his second and tolrd elevens. In the interim the regilars ar~ look- ing ahead to the North Carolin. Btate and Duquesne battles, scheduled for the latter part of the current month. Virtually assured of getting by the Kendall Greeners, these outstanding | tests naturally loom as most important. | h Bergman toC~v expressed him- C self as belng well satieled with Satur- aerial game. A large portion of this week's drills consequently will be cevoted to break- ing up passes. BERG‘B{AI TO BlOAfiCAST.

Both of these teams thus came entirely |up to the expectations of their follow- | ers, and will enter the arena for the de- | cisive test with no preconceived alibis. | _Notre Dame's score on India was | not much of a surprise, but that dev- | astating first 10 minutes, when North- western ran up 19 points on a supposed- ly streng Nebraska team, was quite a chock. At Indiani, the Hooslers, who have been trained safely, figured to be | all in bofore the game was half over, and that is what happened. Joe Shee- ketski, Notre Damc's new 160-pound blocking right half, got through guard | for a 70-yard dash for the only touch- | down of the first half, but by the end | of the game the Irish third stringers | were scoring. Northwestern served notice while man- ihandllnl & heavy Nebraska line that they have a tough forward wall and per- hapshaps the outstanding back of the year in Rentner, who on the sixth play broke up the game with a 37-yard run | for score on a forward-lateral play, and followed it up a fow moments later with a 66-yard cut-back end run for the second touthdown. Ken Meenan, sophomore halfback, intercepted a gass and ran 25 yard: r the third score. | Rentner featured as a passer last year, | bup this year he is running like a Grange.
