Be Represented.

The Harvard lacrosse team is scheduled
to appear at College Park today in a
game with the Maryland Agricultural
college. There is not much chance that
the Farmers will be able to do more than
make creditable showing against the
Crimson. especially in view of the fact
that the big university twelve seems to
he much stronger this season than last

by 70 to . score
This is the second successive season
that the Harvard twelve has met the
Farmers on the latters field, and the
Aggfes have been banking on making a
much better showing than in 1917. Then
Harvard won by score of to 1. The
field will be slippery and against fast,
clever play. which should aid in keeping
the score down
The game will start at O'Clock.

Georgetown is not scheduled for

Neither Georgetown nor Virginia an
