The Maryland Aggies will start their
lacrosse schedule this afternoon. The
Farmers twelve has gone to Carlisle
where it will play the Carlisle Indian
aggregation.
Just what kind of showing will be
made is doubtful. The team. as a
whole. has been showing up well in
practice and. ordinarily. it should do
well, but it is going against one of the
strongest combinations in the country.
The Indians always have a very capa-
BILE lacrosse team, and in that game
they show the same expert lodging
ability that they do in foot ball
Fifteen men made the trip besides
Manager Mayfeld. 1t is probable that
the team will be considerably weaken
ed by the absence Of Capt. Powell. He
Will not be able to play because of ILL
health.
Georgetown will go against the Johns
Hopkins nine this afternoon 1t is con-
fdently reported on the hilltop that the
Blue and Gray will make a much better
showing than in any contest it has played
thus far: with the exception of the first,
with Princeton. The team is in much
better shape, the men hitting and fielding
the ball in better style than in any con-
test in which they have played. 1t is
certain that the nine will show great
uSdl more StreuSIn IMAM Wnen 1t Played
against Mount St. Joseph's.
1t is likely that Fienle will be sent in
| to pitch against Hopkins. The Blue and
Gray twirler is in better shape than
when he started against the Navy last
week. He was in poor condition then
and did not show at his best by great
| deal. It. was the result of having worked
| in two games without being in shape to
start. Having done that, it was practi-
cally impossible for Fienle to accomplish
| much until his arm had got over the
effects Of the overexertion
The game this afternoon will begin at
the regular time for all games during
the week. o'clock.
The st. Johns College nine of Annapo-
| lis will meet its real test within the next
four days. A trip through Virginia is
scheduled and it will play the Washing
ton and Lee, Virginia Military Institute
and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The
Marylanders expect to make creditable
shofing. They have played only one
game, that against Gallaudet. which was
| won by 6 to 0.
The work of the Catholic University
players was probably poorer in yester-
days contest against the professional
club than in any game they have played
so far. The Brooklanders did not put up
near the fielding game they have been
| used to doing, and their general work
| was really below standard
| According to report from Philadelphia,
there is a possibility that Johnny Gal
| lagf1er may not be reinstated by the
Amateur Athletic Union. II it should
| happen that he is not placed on the
eligible list again it is probable that the
| Blue and Gray relay four will be weak
ened, and the team that is to be sent to
the Intercollegiate will be much weaker
in that Gallagher is expected to capture
place in the two-mile run. The relay
! four would not be weakened as much as
would the general team by the absence
of Gallagher. There are several other
quarter very creditably. Van Dyne
Young or Brewer could take Gallagher's
place and run above the average in the
relays at Pennsylvania.
| It might be mentioned in this con.
nection that the Georgetown -four
should win its race in the Penn games
| against which Georgetown is placed
| that is superior to 1t. The tours that
are classed with the Blue and Gray
| will not be as fast as it unless one OF
more of them are above the general
average found in the class.
| Dick Sylvester. who, it is reported
will pitch for Johns Hopkins today
against Georgetown, is an old Mary
land Agricultural College player Sill
vester played with the Farmers in 1907
and 1908, pitching during both sea-
| sons. He did some very creditabl
work while playing for the Aggies
| which he started. II he works up to
his old-time form he should be able
| to pitch creditably against the hill
toppers.
