The Maryland Aggies have one of the
heaviest foot ball schedules for next fall
that they have been compelled to play in
several years. While the list does not
include games with any of the big eevens
ii is made up completely of teams that
for the past few seasons have been fully
as good, if not better. than the Farmers
The Aggies will have to put forth their
greatest efforts TO win in every contest
against teams that are their equal in
strength, which fact makes the schedule
really harder than if it were made up of
two or three hard games and the others
easy ones
The season will be opened October s.
mond to meet the Richmond College
team resulted in 90 score, and to win
next fall the Farmers will have to do
just as hard work as they will in their
championship contests The next school
To be met is Johns Hopkins on the fol-
lowing Saturday, against which institution
Nj. a. C. has never been victorious. The
Hopkins game will be played in Baltimore
October 10 the University of Maryland
nine will go to College Park for the
Farmers first home game of the season.
The big contest of the year comes Oc-
toher 26. when ST. Johns College will be
played. The Farmers have not won from
st. Johns in several years-not since
1906. That game coming really before
the middle of the season is rather hard,
as it will necessitate the development of
the team to its greatest possible efficiency
before the other two championship games
are played. Western Maryland and
Washington College both follow the ST.
Johns game and each is almost as i'm
portant as the one with st. Johns. Gal
laudet will be played November 8.
The season will be ended November %
with the game at Westminster with
Western Maryland.
The schedule is as follows:
October 5-Richmond College, at Rich
mond.
October 12-Johns Hopkins, at Balti-
more.
October 19-University of Maryland. at
College Park.
October 26-St Johns College at An
napolis.
November 2-Open.
November 9-Gallaudet College, at Ken
dali Green.
November 16-washington College. at
College Park.
November 23-Western Maryland, at
Westminster.
The schedule has not yet been approved
by the athletic council but it is expect
ed that it will be within the next few
days.
Tech and Western will meet at George
town Field this afternoon in the contest
that will decide the championship of the
hgh schools. Both teams are in fine con-
dluon for the game. and ready to put
forth their best efforts in what promises
to be one of the hardest and best played
games of the year. Tech Is confident
that it will repeat it's victory of last year,
while Western will go into the game de-
term1ned to win the honor that should
have belonged to it last season. What
the final result will be cannot be foretold.
but one thing is certain, that it will be a
game Well worth witnessing.
Georgetown Field will be the scene of
the struggle. and it will begin at $3.50
Austin will be on the mound for Teach
and LOomis will do the pitching for
Western in todays game. Both twirlers
game. or they may be hit hard. Each of
the two men has worked well in the other
three games, but whether or not they
will do as well today it is impossible to
say.
The Loffier club is one of the strongest
organizations in the Independence
League. and it is going at a gait that
bodies no good for the chances of the
other teams. The Provision men will
give the other teams a rough road to
travel, even though they do not win the
pennant, which has been predicted in
many instances. The team, as a whole,
is well balanced, and, while it was weak
ened short time ago by having one or
two of its best men leave 1t seems to
have recuperated to the extent that it is
again a winner, as was shown in a con-
test against Southland yesterday.
Smith. who is doing such fine work in
the box for the Loffler club. is one of
the regular twirlers at the Maryland
Agricultural College. Smith has done
some excellent pitching for the Farmers.
both this season and last, and that he
should show we'll in the amateur leagues
is to be expected. Smith has lot of
speed on the ball. and good curve, when
he has it working right. When going at
his best he is hard man to beat.
The no-hit game, for which pitchers
seem to be getting credit at present in
the amateur circuits, are not no-nlt al

This man Malcolm. who has been doing
the bulk of the work in the box for the
University of Vermont this season, must
be given a lot of credit for his accom-
pIishments. Judging by the character of
the pitching he has shown in his games
this season. he is just about as worthy OF
a trial in the big leagues as many other
college men who have gone there. Here
is his record so far this year:
