ways been an increase in the enrolment
Of freshmen from the public schools. The
same variableness is not apparent In the
registration from private schools. Most
boys who go to private schools have al
ready selected their college. But in the
public school, where there Is no tradi-
tional preference for one college. the
choice is often made during the school
course, or maybe at the end of 1t. An
athletic victory may or may not be tne
determining influence. At least. there Is
curious relation between the victories and
the increases in registration.
beginning with the year 1901, which
followed a severe defeat at the hands
of Yale, one finds $50 freshmen enter
ing from the public schools. Harvard
won the 1902 game. and the registra-
ton jumped from $50 to 29S. gain of
81 per cent. Yale won the next game
and in 1903 the public schools sent
only 247 freshmen, Continued defeats
by Yale are followed by continued de-
pressions in the registration-235 in
1904 and EOS in 1905. This 1905. regis
tration was the lowest reached. and
1t is significant that in the preceding
foot ball season mot only Yale. but the
of Pennsylvania had Sc
verely defeated Harvard. The follow
ing year Harvard failed of victory,
but held Yale and Pennsylvania to a
low score, and in 1906 q slight in
crease in registration was made. an In.

GEORGETOWN SQUAD
WILL NOT Be PRUNED
Blue and Gray Coach Will Not
Select Team Until He Knows
Ability of Men.

'There will be no cut made in the
Georgetown University base ball squad
until two weeks from today, and thus
every candidate will be given a thorough
trial for the nine" announced Manager
Haggerty Of the Blue and Gray base ball
outfit. This statement came from the
Hilltop manager in contradiction OF a
statement that was made in one OF the
local dailiea The rumor had 1t in the
form of a report that, owing to the
short space of time that remained for
Coach Sprigman to pick his team on
account Of the delay that has been caus-
ed this season in the Blue and Gray
candidates getting out on the diamond
because Of the bad weather. there would
be a material cut in the Georgetown
squad before the candidates had been
given a sufficient try-out. There is abso-
lutely no ground for such report, as
there will be sufficient time TO give all
the men that are out for the local uni
versity team a good try-out before the
final cut Is made by the Hilltop execu-
tive.
Outdoor base ball practice was inaug-
urated on the hilltop yesterday afternoon
when the Georgetown University squad,
numbering over forty men, went out on
the diamond for their first instructions
Of the season under Coach Sprig1nan.
ouiy the llSnteSI klHu VI WOTh was III
dulged in. as the West End coach was
afraid of his men getting their arms sore
on account OF the chilly weather. There
was short batting practice held, In
which all the men came up to the plate
for the first time of the season, but there
could be no idea obtained of the ability
of the different men with the willow, as
nothing but slow, straight ones were sent
across the plate. For a short time dur
ing the latter part Of the workout Coach
Sprigman held an infield and Outheld
practice, into which as many men as pos
sible were worked.
The number OF men who VIII be out
for the Hilltop team this spring bids fair
to break all previous records In the his
tory of the Blue and Gray on the dia
mond, as there viii be without doubt
over sixty on the field before the end OF
the week. If competition counts for any,
Georgetown should have an aggregation
this season that will better all records
ever made by a Georgetown team on the
diamond In previous years. and stand
among the fIrst contenders for first hon.
ors among the colleges Of the east.

are in shape right now to go in and pitch
full game Of ball. That speaks well for
the thOroughness Of the workouts they
have been receiving.
Jones Of Western should be one of the
best runners in the high schools next
year. Although this season is his first on
the track, he has shown form that is
way above that of the ordinary beginner,
and with another seasons experience
should not have superior in the local
scholastic ranks.
Technical High is better supplied with
pitchers this year than either Of the
other schools With Austin. who pitched
some good ball on last years team, back

work in other institutions. the Manual

There is a great deal of talk going the
rounds to the effect that Catholic Uni
versity and Georgetown will meet in
basket ball some time this week, which
is all more or less useless and to no pur-
pose, as Georgetown has never intended
to play the Brooklanders since the game
was first postponed. That Georgetown
has no intention now OF meeting it's local
rival on the court Is made certain by the
fact that the Blue and Gray Quint has
been disbanded by the coach and cap
tain.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. March 1.-THE

Either Sam EdmOnston or Johnny Beall
will coach the Maryland Agricultural Col
fegs base ball team this spring. Both
men are now under consideration for the
place. and one or the other will be chosen
within the next few days.
No matter which of the pair is secured,
IT IS probable that good man will fill the
place Both Edmonston and Beall have
had much experience in base ball. both
having been with big league teams and
having had years of experience in the
minors.
The Maryland Agricultural College will
give three big silk banners in the inter-
collegiate and interscholastic meet to be

The barring of Moore Of Gallaudet from
the south Atlantic wrestling champion
ships is probably in keeping with the
policy advocated last spring of refusing to
allow the colleges to compete with the
club athletes in any south Atlantic cham
ptonships.
If this is true it would seem that the
case Of Moore Is an exception. The argu-
ment was advanced in regard to track
athletics that it was impossible for the
club athletes to compete with those in
the colleges because of the superior
training received by the latter, but that
does not hold good in this instance, be-
cause ii certainly cannot be said that
club wrestlers do not receive the work

Charley Moran will coach the Catholic

big and minor leagues as has any other
man in Washington. He should develop
