  game OuI III OLllO gGolCAQoy NAEAA NNS ton University. Beating Dayton UNI versity, to 0, as the Marines did, was q real task in itself, but to have to scheme to beat Dayton and at the same time to consider the most important game of the year with only one days rest presented problem to Coach Tom Ready that few coaches have to race. In fact, it is doubtful if any other coacn J in the country has been up against Such q proposition this year. The Marines may not nave Such a setup tomorrow at Griffith Stadium IN their game with the Newport Naval Training Station, though they probaply will win, The team that represents the NAVY has been thruogh regular Schedule, though not so heavy as that played by the Marines. Having been through a regular schedule, though, the navy eleven ought to be better fitted to meet the Marines than some of the teams that have come here as their opponents in past years. At the beginning of the season tne Newport eleven defeated Lynn GeneIal Electric by 20 to O, then met and defeated Colby College 20 to 6, lost 10 Holy Cross by IL to 0. won from Arnold College 26 to 0, lost to Boston Coilege 10 to 0. lost to Rhode Island State Z to 0, beat the Submarine Base ~ 10 o. was beaten by Lowell Textile Institute Is to 13, and in the last game won from Coast Guard by 81 to 0. Not record as impressive as that MADE py the Marines. but still good enough TO show that the Marines, working under the handicap of having been through hard game yesterday, may have lou of trouble. Stars With Both Teams. Four former Naval Academy stars are with the Newport team. They are Tom Hamilton, who played fullback two years ago; Born, who was at guard last season. Ned Hannegan, quarter back two years ago, and Hughes, VINO played in the backfield at Navy in 1923. The remainder of the team have been picked from the personnel of the Naval = Training Station and the Atlantic fleet. The two stars of the Marine eleven are Allen Shapley and Jim Levey, half backs. Shapley, incidentally, played on the same team with Hannegan and Born at the Naval Academy, and Shapley and Hannegan were In the same back6eld in that memorable 21-to 81 game with Army at Soldiers Field IN Chicago. Both Shapley and Levey are brilliant ball carriers, and good indeed must be the team that stops them. And, 10 RSt AOh1k W Ac(boJ 4AO VOOAAA AASSS ~ been that good. The Newport eleven gets in this morn ing and win work out this afternoon in Griffith Stadium. The workout will be brief and consist of little more than limbering-up exercises. The Marines probably will not even put on uniforms, as their main problem will be TO get some Of their reserve physical strength back after their grueling contest OF yes terday. NotabIes to Attend. Many prominent persons will attend the game, and among them will be Sec retary of Navy Wilbur, who VIII holo down the Navy side, and Gen. John A. Leiuene, commandant OF the Marine Corps. Both men are interested IN am letics, especially as their teams represent the morale of the organ1ZatlonS OF which they are heads. Gen. Lejuene probably is closer to his men person. alIv than any other man that ever headed a similar military organizatlon, and All his men look upon him with an affection that really is amazing. The game will be colorful and there viii be good foot ball, as good as usually is seen in any game. Both teams are well coached, Tom keaoy.

The record OF tne MaIAie sv4 ifcolf iS cllff1c1PnG TO warrant a generous outpouring OF foot hall lovers, and the fact that the Ma rines will be opposed by regularly or ,oanized team that has played through q full schedule should help from standpoint of the kind OF competltlon that may be expected. The game will begin at pm. University of Maryland may have dewelcomed in the last four or t1ve years during which it has had hard time in its games with Johns Hopkins, some thing of a ink feeling, as some OF the MARYLAND alumni began to feel, but as far as Yesterdays game was concerned said jinx was not given much consloeralton. .;. The Marylanders went out to whip Hon<ins. said before the game they were going to do just that, ana olo W the tune of 26 to 6. From the first moment of the conteSt there was never time Wnen IL seemed that Hopkins had much chance. mary land first got the ball when II nelo Hopkins for downs and forced a punt. With the ball on their own 3O-yaro nne the Old Liners started march tnaI carried to Hopkins 25-yard line, ana then were halted by a 15-yard penalty Hopkins got the ball on short KICK and then again was forced to punt. LYONS kicked beyond midfield and Mary land started another march from ltS 3O-vard line. This time there were no penalties and the ball was rushed down the field for touchdown. Just at the beginning of the second quarter Maryland lost another touch down. when it was penalized with tne hall 2 feet from Hopkins goal and four downs in which to drive across. Maryland’s offensive efforts were astonishing, being even greater than the score indicated The Old Liners gained by rushing a total of 467 yards. against 65 by their opponents. They also gained about three times as mucn ground by passing as the Baltlmoreans MARYLAND made % first downs, 10 IN tnt first half and 13 in the second, as many first downs as usually are mace Ia IIHet foot ball games. The Old Line eleven got going at the beginning and kept on going, while at the same time making any consistent offensive advance by their opponents next to impossible. Hopkins touch & down came as a result of Caplan run ming a kickoff at the start of the Sec ond half back for 80 yards for a score Yesterdays game marked the wind I’D of the careers of three regulars OF the Maryland eleven, Snyder, CrothefS and Kessler.
