  AMERICA MATERIAL ON SQUAD BY HARRY COSTELLO, Georgetown ‘BackfIeld Star, 1S1O-19l3) An old football player is for ever wishing. He wishes each fall he could be 20 years old again. He wishes he could carry the ball on that particular off-tackle smash, on that particular end run, on that particular double pass. He wishes he could be in there to punt at that particular moment, to drop-kick that par. ticular try for a goal from field. Yes, he just wishes, and wishes, and wishes. From Sep tember to December. Well, this old football player is no different than the others. He wishes, too. Maryland Deserves Praise He wishes he could be a unit of the football team which this year is carrying the colors Of the University of Kentucky. He refers to the Wildcat eleven which was Saturday held to 6–⁠6 tie by Coach Curly Byrd’s alert, intelligent, courageous, gallant Maryland team. Touchdowns the better team (and nllral is correct), Ken. lucky was deadlocked. It was a virtual victory for Maryland. All honor, all glory, all credit, congratulations and cheers were for the Terrapins at the final whistle. Maryland deserved the adulatiOn. The Old Liners were glorious in that tie game. They turned a single opportunity into a surety bond. They rose to the occasion, inspired, and split even. They even outsmarted the Kentuckians at just the right moment of the game. They played heads-up football, bang-up football, and came within two eyelashes OF winning the battle. Even so, this old football player will take Kentucky for his. And, in so choosing, he intends no disparagement, disinclination or disaster to Maryland. He ad’ mits the Terps battled the Blue Grass boys to a veritable stand still. Kentucky Gridmen Stars But, being an old football player, he persists il carrying his point. He insists. even on Mon day morning, that he wishes he could call signals for “Shipwreck” Kelly, for Urbaniak, for Phipps, Richards, Andrews, Scale and the rest of the Kentuckians. Indeed, he even includes the Wildcat coach, arch enemy of young foot ball players who are really good’ in their own estimations. What a team, even in moral defeat, are those Blue Grass giants! Kelly is as good a running hack as this writer has seen in many years. He is a terrible punter. Urbaniak could make” any team in the country. He is a bullet, with his compact body and his tremendous leg drive. That yOungster, Phipps, can smash through a line. It’s no fOOIin’ With him at all times. A great player, Andrews is ALL America. What q tackle! Scale, Now there’s a center for you. Did you see him down the field? Deadly. Just as good in his position as Kelly, Andrews and Urbapiak. Skinner. He’s an end. Tom Shevlin come back to life. Rough as they come. And, how us old. timers love to see good, sturdy, rough and ready end! Interesting team, that Ken lucky outfit. Smashing, tearing, ripping offenSe. Kelly Should Run But, let’s see, the old footballer was wishing, wasn’t he? Well, he wishes Kelly would always run with the ball and never punt. He wishes every enemy play would be directed at Andrews. He wishes An drews and Richards would al. ways be in front of him when he carried the ball. He wishes After all, however, since he is an old football player, and since he cannot play any more, there is one wish not so futile. He wishes he could see Kentucky and Tennessee play this year. If that game doesn’t prove a Sweet heart” then this old football player will quit wishing forever. PRINCETON, Oct. .19.-Anether blue Monday at Princeton! The Tigers we’re overwhelmed Saturday by Cornell. But Prince ton was given a chance against Navy this week and some players who have been out with injuries were expected to bolster the team this week. Secret drills were scheduled to prepare for the Navy game. “a, ,0~~ -
