Plenty of forward passing and open plays should be in evidence on Stagg Field this Saturday afternoon when the Maropn team opens its season by engaging the University of South Carolina and Ripon college at Stagg Field. .,The first game with Carolina, startes at 2 o'clock, and the second immediately after the end of the first. Stagg, with backfield material much impr_oved over that of last year, will rely largely on forward passing to win. And both of the. Maroon opponents, according to advance reports, are relying on an aerial and speed attack to win. South Carolina has already demonstrated its ability by trimming Erskine, 19 to 0. The Maroons will be hard-pressed to win both games, because several of the men may be ineligible, and there ha.i been a large crop of minor injuries in practice to cut down the squad. Some of his best men, especially the backs, will have to play in parts of both games. Stud, tbese comfort diagrams Never before has so fine a mattress as the new Beaut1rest so!d for a price as low.
