Charlottesville Va. February To-
! The most difficult as well as the most
(, attractive. baseball schedule ever UNI
derlaken by a University Of Virginia
| tenn has been drawn up for the season
of 1912.
The schedule Is moro pretendous
; than that of last year. Counting the
eShib ton games, with the Washing
ton American League Club and the
Montreal team OF the International
League there vii be twenty-five con-
tests In all, which Is quite list for
varsity team to go through during
season. hard task faces the V,r-
ginians because OF the fact that most
of the games are difficult ones Prac-
; tically all OF the big colleges In the
, East and South are on the schedule,
which was announced to-day by Man
: aser Joseph Francis Moore, OF Berry
willie Eighteen of the twenty-five
games VIII be played on Lambeth
Field ,t
Important departures are noted from
, the ordinary schedules undertaken by
the Orange and Blue mines. The usual
Northern trip. lasting for one week
and ending With the Army game at
West Point has been abandoned. The
first week in May the nine Will go
as far North as Philadelphia for n
game with Pennsylvania. and return to
Washington for two games with
I! Georgetown. which will end the sea-
son.
Four With Carolina.
There VIII be four games with the
University OF North Carolina. For a
number of years only two contests
{ were arranged with the Old North
State team. but In recent years three
I have been Tplayed--two In North Caro-
lima and one in Virginia. This spring
/. three of the games will she played In
succession In North Carolina cities
one In Charlotte, one II In Winston-
Salem and the third in Greensboro.
The. fourth and final contest will take
place three days later on Lambeth
.Ffeld. On the Southern trip last year
the teams broke even. The third and
deciding game was played there and
was won by. North Carolina by the
close score of 1 to O.
I! Virginia will play Georgetown three
games this year instead of the two
contests of former years. This change
Will permit definite decision as to
the superiority OF the two teams in
stead of the tic watch often resulted
in past years. Last year. however.
Virginia captured both Of the games
played with the Blue and Cray.
Pennsylvania's failure to appear
during Easter week is.a surprise, but
as tho Red and Blue tcam was una bic
to make .'thc Southern trip this year,
the agreement with TEN wa s cam
celled. Cornell has been secured to
fill the vacancy. 1t will be the first
appearance here of the Ithacuns for
some years, through they arc by m
means strangers.
