NOW FOR NORTHERN TRIP

The final home game of the season
before the post-season match with Vir-
ginia on June 10 will be played at
Georgetown field next Wednesday,
when the Blue and Gray meets Diekin-
son.
On Saturday the Northern trip opens
at New Haven with Yale. and then fol-
low games with Fordhan, Holy Cross.
Dartmouth, Andover. Brown. Pennsyl-
vania, Vinanova, and Lafayette. This
trip lasts nearly two weeks and is con-
sidered one of the hardest of any of the
large university teams OF the East.
> Seasons Work.
Thus far this season the record made
by Georgetown is one of the best in the
history Of the university on the
Heights.
Starting the season with rather me-
tiiocre material and a poor outlook,
Graduate Coach Apperious developed one
of the fastest college teams IN the coun-
try which has defeated VilIanoYa,
Pennsylvania. Yale. Syracuse, Carolina,
Naval Academy. and large' number of
smaller institutions.
OF the seventeen games played all but
three were won by the local collegians.
Both OF the Princeton games at George
town field during Easter week and the
Fordham game on Wednesday resulted
in reverses for the home team but aside
from these three contests the Blue and
Gray has been highly successful on the
diamond this spring.
Two Regulars Missing.
The outlook for the trip which begins
on next Saturday Is not at present very
encouraging, as the squad viii be
minus the services OF two regular mem
bers of the team when it leaves the
city on Friday. Smith. the freshman,
who has played third base and short
stop, will not be with the team on the
trip. He leaves Washington today TO
meet his family IN California, where he
VIII spend the summer, so 1t VIII be
necessary to find some one else to fill in
at short. Smith is one OF the n1ost val
liable freshmen players that has ever
made a Georgetown team. Coming di-
rectly from a prep school the Buffalo
boy has shown up remarkably well and
gives promise OF developing into a star
college player before the expiration OF
his allotted four years. He is the type
OF player that is credit TO the uni
yersity and may be relied upon 10 iii
the gap caused by Morgan's absence
next spring.
Jim Burns, who has played the OUT
field for the past two years, graduates
from the college next month and as his
examination will he. on during the next
two weeks he viii mot go North with
the team.

games, will probably take Smith S
