shire State.

Manager p. c. Cummings o. the Uni
versity of Vermont baseball team yes
terday afternoon made public the most
pretentious schedule which the team has
ever played, including, as II does, prac-
tically every large institution In the
East and numbering 80 games. Fourteen
OF these will surely he played in Burling-
ton and there is a possibility that Sec
ofd game with Dartmouth will be played
here, as negotiations are under way, and
that would bring the total number to 81
The management has gone into things
on larger scale than ever before and
the team will be given every honest ad-
vantage that is possible. From the pres
ent outlook Vermont should place in the
field one of the strongest teams in the
country. The schedule has been arranged
with a view to matching strength with
the entire country. It includes as home
games Notre Dame, considered to be the
strongest In the West, and the Univer
sity of Maryland which occupies about
the same position in the South. The
Green Mountain boys entertained Notrs
Dame with the only defeat 1t received on
trip few years ago and the manage
ment Of that team was only too willing
to accept an opportunity Of evening things
up.
A number of new teams will be seen on
the home diamond this year. including
Cornell, which has never played in Bur-
lington. as we'll as the University Of
Maryland. Some of the familiar celors
Of other days will also be in evidence,
including Syracuse. Lafayette, Colgate.
which have not played here recently. and
athers. along with all Of the recent &C.
auisitions, including Dartmouth, Bow
ion and Tufts.
For the past few years Vermont has
been handicapped in Its New England
games by lack Of outdoor practice, as
winter has a way Of hanging on in this
territory, but this will be no excuse this
year as the team has as elaborate
southern trip as any of it's rivals. The
team will leave on the night of March q
and go right through to Durham. N. c..
where they will play the initial game OF
the season on the 18th. They will then
play eight games in surrounding terri
tory. which will include every college Of
importance in that vicinity. including
Washington and Lee, which Vermont
has not met in 20 years.
The team will be brought back here on
April and will remain here until they go
to New Haven for game with Yale
on the 18th. After playing Holy Cross
they will return to Burlington for a few
games, followed by New England trip
and later return for a long list Of home
games, which will delight the fans.
The schedules this year will be out In
about 10 days and will this year be Issued
by the Cynic. instead Of by a downtown
concern, as in former years.
