What undoubtedly will be one Of the
| greatest collegiate baseball battles OF
| this spring here is scheduled for this
afternoon on the Hilltop between Prince
ton and Georgetown. With many men of
| football as well as baseball fame the
Tigers will arrive on the Hilltop field
primed to take the measure of the West
| enders. while the latter club. after their
recent defeats at the hands of Mount
st. Joseph's and Lafayette. will. with
out question. suffering from the sting
come the foe from the New Jersey
town. Today's contest is to start at 3
O'Clock.
Two workouts have been in order
daily on the diamond on the Hill since
the Lafayette game, in order to bring
the men up to the form before meeting
Princeton. That Georgetown has one
of the best clubs in it's history is
the writer's opinion, as it should merely
be a question Of time until the men
show their real form and fall into their
true strides. and then 1t is a safe predic-
tion that the best college baseball club
in the East will have it's troubles in
downing the Blue and Gray.
With a late start this spring and handi-
capped by the bad weather the local nine
across the creek has not been given
the opportunity to show what 1t has.
With such men as JAWS, Hollander. and
Daley as candidates for the infield. to-
gether with men of Feinle's ability to
do the mound work. and with several
other stars to fill up the other vacancies.
the supporters of the Blue and Gray have
nothing TO fear. When Georgetown
strikes its stride-look out.

against the Red and Black. In all prop-
ability, Loomis, the former Western High
