COLLEGE SEASON
SABOUT ENDED
Georgetown, Catholic U. and
M. A. c. Mines Wind Up Their
Schedules This Week.
BY Il. C. BYRD.

The college base ball season is about
over as far Washington is concerned.
Gallaudet has ended its schedule. while
the Catholic University, Georgetown and
Maryland Agricultural College teams
have only one or two games each. George
town is to play Fordham in New York
Saturday, while Catholic University is to
meet the University of Pittsburgh here.
The Maryland Aggies will have Washing
ton College as their opponent at College
Park Wednesday, and Friday they will
go to Annapolis for the last contest, one
with st. Johns.
Gallaudet has probably had the poorest
season one of it's teams has gone through
in a long while, but the other colleges
very disastrously. and it appeared for
awhile that the Blue and Gray was DOOM
ed to have another uneventful season, to
say the least. AS soon as Coach Coogan
became familiar with conditions and the
players, the nine took a decided brace
and has played brilliantly sinee. Its work
mas been OF the highest order in the field
and at bat Game after game has been
won from the best college teams in the
country, and it is questionable if col
lege nine could be selected from any one

The Catholic University nine has had
almost an exactly opposite season from
that of Georgetown The Brooklanders
started by winning from clubs decisiyely
that proved themselves better than the
Blue and Gray, but owing to injuries
and unfortunate circumstances they We're
unable to present their strongest lineup
for some time. There were some decisive
losses in that period. Last week the

surprised everybody by taking the first
three games. Despite some setbacks the
Brooklanders feel they have had a good
season
So far the Maryland Aggies have had
the best year in their history. They
have won from teams in a class. higher
than any in which they have ever be-
fore played. and are now in better
position than any other school to win
the state championship. There are two
more contests, the ones booked this week.
and if the Farmers twin those they will
have the title: if either of those games
is lost the race will not be decided.
Three members of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College nine are to play in
Martinsburg this summer in a semi-pro
league. which includes that town, Fred
erick and Hagerstown. These players
and Derrick have also been made offers,
but it is doubtful if they will accept
Morris will manage the team.
A northern writer makes the following
comment on the prospects of the several
colleges in the Intercollegiate. which are
to be held this week:
Cornell, Yale and Pennsylvania are
likely to fight it out for the team trophy
at the intercollegiate championship track
| and field games in the Harvard stadium
| Friday and Saturday. Judging from the
. all-round strength shown by Yale in
defeating Princeton and Harvard in dual
meets, it would not be surprising to see
of Cornell and Pennsylvania are likely to
win more first places. The new allotment
of points is distinctly in favor of team
strength rather than individual strength,
| and the stars are not likely to prove such
a potential factor in previous years.
In my opinion, there is not a strong
enough premium placed on winning. The
college which is strong in second and
third places is almost sure to overbalance
the team of stars. For that reason 1
rather favor Yale to win. closely followed
by Cornell and Pennsylvania"
The National Cathedral School is sched-
uled to play Charlotte Hall this afternoon
| its last contest Of the season.
Several Washington boys will probably
start the season with the Martinsburg
| team this summer. Raba, now playing

There is no question about HardeI of
Tech being the best quarter-mifer de-
veloped in the high schools in a long

when 1t is considered that he had to start
from very poor position and was COM
