- e. likelv that these will take place.
That GEORGETOWN will be able to accom-
plish much in whatever meets 1t Is rep
resented in this section is certain. The
Pine and GRAY will be worn by several
men whose ability is so well recognized
that they will be conceded some events
before they are run. These men, WIN
the others who can be developed 10 rouno
out the squad, should accomplish more
than any other aggregation in the south
Atlantic section
Aggies Lose Training Quarters.
It is not probable that the Maryland
Aggies will be able to accomplish much
during the indoor season. At least.
everything appears to be against 1t. Not
only have they lost the nucleus OF the
team for the last three years. but also
their training quarters have been de-
stroyed. Until February 6. when one of
the large temporary buildings will be
completed, there will be no place for the
men to run indoors, and whatever is done
will have to take place outdoors.
Georgetown is the only college which
has as yet started training. It has not
done q great deal, only enough so that 1t
can begin hard work during the next few
days. Some of the Blue and Gray run
ners, those who have already been in COM
petition, are in fair condition. but the
others are not yet ready to enter a race.
The other squads will start work within
the next three or four days.
Those In charge Of base ball have been
laying plans for very strenuous seasons.
In all four institutions it is expected that
the schedules this spring will be among
the hardest ever played, and also it Is
generally thought that the teams Wall be
above the standard of the last few years.
~ do Iyc on or
this spring than usual the schedules will
begin at much previous dates, and some
Of them will run longer than has hereto
fore been the case.
Georgetown has nearly the same ma
terial Il had in 1912, and it should be
able to accomplish a better record. Not
only has it its best material Of last spring
back, but it will also have out several
new men who. it is said, are practically
sure to make the team stronger.
Catholic University will lose one or two
Of it's best men. but the nucleus of the
1912 aggregation Will again be In the
lineup and. with the new material. there
should not be much trouble In turning out
another winning combination. Gallaudet
also has back almost it's entire nine. Its
two mainstays In the box will again be
in uniform and hardly a loss was had
which cannot be suitably replaced.
Aggies Look Strong.
NJ. A. c. should also be able to turn out
q stronger bunch than usual. The Farm
ers have six men from the 1912 nine back
and there is enough new material, pro-
viding it comes up to expectations, to
fill the vacancies satisfactorily.
Basket ball schedules will be resumed
within the next few days. Gallaudet has
already played game, having met the
Loyola College quint in Baltimore last
night. The other colleges will play with
| in the next few days.
Georgetown starts next Friday on the
hardest part of its schedule and prob
ably the longest it has ever attempted.
It will open with the Loyola College
quint and Immediately afterward will
come the teams from the larger institu-
tons. Catholic University will again
take up the thread Of it's list of contests.
The Aggies are scheduled to open their
| season Saturday night in the Y. NJ. c. A
gymnasium against the regular associa-
| ton five. It will be the first game for
the Farmers, and they have not yet be-
gun practice.
Besides arranging matters pertaining to
| track, basket ball and base ball, NJ. A. c.
| and Georgetown are making plans to meet
| other colleges in tennis.
The Maryland Agricultural College has
about completed it's schedule in lacrosse.

| tutions in the south where the sport is
| fOStereQ. Inc Farmers Will meet nearly
all the teams in the intercollegiate asso-
citation.
Schools Begin Work.
Nearly all the schools have begun work
| on the track and indications point to the
most successful year, from a competitive
| standpoint, In a long while among scho-
lastic squads. Central High has long
held a monopoly over the other teams.
but this year it is likely there will be
more evenly balanced aggregations.
The Scholastic Basket Ball League will
resume play next Friday. 1t was sup
posed to start last Friday. but the
| schedule was moved up a week, be-
cause Of a lack OF condition on the
part Of the two teams carded to meet.
