Plans, are being made at the Maryland
Agricultural College for the heaviest base
| ball schedule the school has ever played.
AS tentatively arranged, the list of
teams against which the Farmers will be
pitted will contain the best secondary in
stitutions and will certainly comprise the
| most difficult set Of games ever attempt
ed by an institution of that size.
The season will be opened with game
| in Annapolis with the Navy March q.
| After that several of the best northern
| teams will appear at College Park. New
York University. Lafayette, Lehigh,
Swarthmore and Dickinson already have
been scheduled, while the best Of the
| southern schools will be played. Games
have been arranged with Catholic Uni
versity and Georgetown. while negotia
| tions are being carried on with the Uni
versity of South Carolina, Virginia Poly
technic and Washington and Lee Be-
sides these games with schools which
have always been above the class OF
the Farmers, the regular contests against
the four other colleges in the state cham
pionship race will be played
The letters will be awarded the MEM
bers of the Georgetown foot ball squad
some time this week. according to re-

There have been four or five all-Mary-
land foot ball teams selected by Balti-
more papers during the past two weeks
which have not done justice to at least
two players of the Maryland Agricultural
College eleven. They are Bowland and
Hindman, the two tackles. Neither has
been mentioned for a place on the all
| star aggregation, and yet there is not
the least doubt that they were better
players than some of the men selected
Their work in every game in which they
took part was much above the average.
Both were consistent and aggressive per-
formers. and at least one OF them might
be compared favorably with some Of the
most capable linemen in the south At
lantic section. There are one or two
others at NJ. A. c. who might have well
been considered for places, but both the
men referred to stand out in comparison
with one or two who were selected.
In selecting an all-star eleven for the
south Atlantic section it seems that there
are two players who were overlooked who
| should have been seriously considered for
regular places, according to those who
| watched them play. They were Tandy of
North Carolina. center. and Walker of
| the Virginia Medical College, tackle. 1t
| is said that these men compared favor
| ably with any individual players in the
south and that any all-star combination
would not be complete without them.
Whether or not that is true is a ques
| ton, though it must be confessed that
| one Of the men was not considered be-
cause his capabilities were not known.
The other was purposely left out for other
reasons. Tandy may have been an ex-
cellent center, but it is a question If he
, was better than Petritz of Georgetown.
who was given the place. Petritz's real
value to a team is not realized unless
he is watched closely throughout ALMOST
an entire season. There is no better de-
fensive center in the south than he, and
playing the rowing position it may be
stated unqualifedly that he is superior
to any of the others. The Virginia Medi-
cal team. on which Walker played. was
not considered because it is believed that
1t has few if any eligibility rules. Little
had been heard of the North Carolina
man, and that being the case. it was
the better and safer plan to select Petritz
for the honor because Of his known
ability.
