ALFRED T. Brant, of Los Angeles, Cal.
manager of the University Of Virginia
baseball team, to-day issued his schedule
of games for tho coming senson. which
opens about the middle OF March. Not
counting the preliminary contests with
tho preparatory schools Of the State. the
schedule calls for twenty-five games. with
three of the best dates open. Two OF
these open dates occur on Monday and
Tuesday of Easter week two OF the best
days OF the season since the Easter gage
ties are in full swing. with crowd OF
..old boys'' and visiting girls on hand.
A feature OF the schedule is Northern
trim. tho first in years On this trip such
,aams as Yale, Princeton. Pennsylvania,
Georgetown, yillanova and the Army will
he met. one date on this trip--alay 10Th
ia vet open There will be no Southern
trip this spring.
The schedule OF home games Is not az
extensive as last year, when a contest
was pulled off almost every other DAY.
,-he Carlisle Indians. who dropped Two
catnes to Virginia during Easter week
of last year, VIII not come on a eouthefn
trip this year In their stead VIII come
Dartmouth and yiilanova. Other North
ern teams thar will be seen on the local
grounds for the lrRt time in recent years
are Columbia and Cornell.
Now that athletic relations have been
renewed with Georgetown, two games
have been scheduled with the Blue and
Gray, the first TO DO played In Cha lottes-
Vile April 18th. and the second IN WASH
ington on May 4th. In case OF tie, the
deciding game will no doubt be pulled
off at the University OF Virginia. The
last (;eorgeto wn Virginia contest, played
in Charlottesville. resulted In a victory
for Virginia by tho close score OF 5 to o.
This year tho faculty OF the University
will allow the Varsity nine to play only
eight games away from home. But for
this handicap Virginia would go down to
Washington April lst and I'd. to meet
Yale. which does not come south OF Ma
son and Di1on's line this spring, and
would also journey 10 Richmond TO play
Harvard, as the Crimson nine spends
nearly week at the State capital in pre-
l.minary practice
