they stand out head and shoulders above
their rivals. That IS true OF every
school which puts out q nine that ngures
closely In the race. Let Washington .ano
Lee not play Virginia for instance, and
then let Virginia beat Georgetown. After
that Il Washington and Lee has won
from some team that might have been
considered stronger than Virginia pun
and Lee would claim Its nine to be SUI
perior to that Of Virginia. Such Is gen
orally tho kind Of tAngle which exists
between several Of the institutions In
this section when It comes to determining
the base bail championship.
It is not generally known. but it Is
q fact that athletics at the Maryland
Agricultural College have been carried
on during the past two months under tne
most disadvantageous circumstances.
While those in charge have done every
thing they could to make necessary ar
rangements for the squads It has been
impossible to do 30 to the extent oe-
sired For that reason what has been
accomplished in basket ball and on track is
q great tribute to the pluck and energy
OF the youngsters who made up tne
teams. Had 1t not been for the grit
and courage and stick-to-it-iveness they
have shown in their training the Farm
ers would not have had rather sue
cessful indoor season.
Mention might be made in this connee-
ton concerning the attitude OF Acuns
President Spence. There are few per-
Spence In keeping the athletics Of the
school on q high plane under conditions
that were very unfavorable. He has lent
"a helping hand In everything and every
manner possible. Had It not been for
the interest the present executive has
shown there would not have been nearly
'as much accomplished as has been.
The Central Y. NJ. c. A. and George.
town are. trying to arrange series OF
basket ball games. The two teams
which. with one exception. are the
strongest in the city, should put up just
as interesting and bitterly contested Sc
ter lie finally arranged The work Of the
men on both teams is individually ana
collectively Of q high order and repre-
sents the best talent among the respective
organizations. Georgetown. as 1t played
win from any other school In the section,
and there is no doubt that the Y. M. c. A.
10 the strongest Of the club teams.
Such q series would attract larger
attendance than has any other contest
here this year.
The Technical High crew Of last year
has been out on the water for more than
week. and is showing good form for SO
early in the year. The Tech crew which
as that which represented the Analostan
Boat Club last summer, with two excep-
lions. The call for new candidates will
be issued within the next two or three
days. and It is thought that enough can
didates will report to cause three shells
to be manned.
Preparations are being made to take
the crew on three trips during the COM
ing season. The Fourth OF July trip to
the peoples regatta will be made; the
regatta In Baltimore will be taken in,
and the middle states junior and inter-
mediate event will be entered
Coach Hecox anticipates q successful
season. He says that with the men avail
able. and with the new men who will
report, he should be able to whip together
an aggregation capable Of giving a good
account Of itself in almost any race In
which It may be entered.
Tom Noonan was elected to captain the
George Washington University basket
ball team next year Ct = 2 meeting held 10
Noonan as being the best man for the
place because he has been putting up q
brilliant article OF ball all the season.
His work has been OF character to
place him among the front ranks OF
college players. Coach Schlosser has an
exceptionally high opinion OF his ability
and thinks that he will be q star OF the
FIRST magnitude next season. His work
in the last two or three contests played
by the Hatchetites would seem to indicate
that the idea Of the coach Is correct
one.
Before coming to George Washington.
Noonan captained and played center on
the Albany high school i've. His work
the feature Of almost every contest IN
which he PLAYED.
