The Maryland Agricultural College will
hold its intercollegiate and interscholastie
track and field meet May 3. After a
| meeting of the executive council of the
college early this morning it was deter
mined that that would be the best date
on which to have the games take place.
| There had been some little sentiment
| expressed to the effect that it might not
be good policy to attempt to hold the
| meet this year. because of the destruc-
4 ton of the buildings, but as there ap-
peared no real, substantial reason as to
why the events should not be scheduled.
| There are plenty of facilities for taking
! care of any number of athletes who may
attend, and their interests VIII be we'll
| looked after.
son will be much larger than any Of the
others that have been held. The first
| took place in the spring of 1911, the one
of 1912 showed larger growth. and
there is no reason to think that
| even more popular. \ greater number
| of schools will be invited to take part
| in the collegiate and interscholastie
games While there were only five col
/ leges in the state represented last spring
| it is certain that there will be eight OIL
ten in competition this year, that many
| having already signified their acceptance
of the invitation to compete. There will
also be a greater number OF schools in
vited. There were many prep and high
schools throughout the state that did not
| send men in 1911 and 1912, and special
invitations have already been favorably
! acted upon.
Within the next few days invitations
will be sent to the prep and high schools
in the District of Columbia and Mary
land. and also to the Maryland colleges.
AS has been done previously. the scho-
lastic and collegiate games will be run
jointly.
The intercollegiate games We're won last
year by the st. Johns College, with NJ. A.
c. second. and the interscholastic events
We're captured by the local Central High
School, with the Baltimore City College
second. St Johns will stand an excel
lent chance of finishing first again this
year, while it is fairly certain that the
Central High bunch will make very
capable showing.
A committee has been placed in charge
of the events and work will be started
Immediately on notifying the various in
stitutions of the date, conditions etc.
Two of the big universities will meet
this afternoon at American League Park
They are the base ball teams of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and Yale. Much
stress has been laid on the contest by
both schools. and the best men on the
pitching staff of the two mines will oppose
each other.
INLAY, captain of the Penn team. and
Scott, who opposed each other last spring
in a fourteen-inning game. will be the
men who will be sent to the mound for
Penn and Yale, respectively. The game in
which these two men figured last spring
was a tie contest, the score ending / to /.
Both pitched superb ball. and. to judge
by the reports of the condition OF the two
men, they should put UP good tussle for
first honOrS today.
Georgetown will endeavor to wrest the
fine showing of the team Saturday,
when it won from the Tigers rather
easily has whetted the appetites of the
Blue and Gray players for more vic
tories. Their work just began to show
the improvement that was expected as
where they would be able to play at
their best The superiority of the play of
the Georgetown team over the article 1t
| showed in its contests against La
| fayette and Mount st Joseph's was
| SO apparent; that it was certain
| that the main reason why it had
made rather poor showing in its two
previous contests was because of the lack
| of condition. The players had done prac-
tically nothing and it could not be ex-
| nected that thew would show at their
| best.
Princeton will work mighty hard to
| prevent two defeats in succession at the
| hands of Georgetown. The Blue and
Gray nine will not be allowed to get away
4 with two victories over it if it is within
4 the power of the players to stop it. Two
! defeats in a row are not rellshed by the
Tigers and yet it may be that they viii
| have to accept them.
| If Kelly. the former Buffalo boy,
works UP to the standard of which he
| is said to be capable the men from
New Jersey will have to go at pretty
