Five consecutive state championships
have been won by the Maryland Agri-
cultural College. By winning the title
successfully twice in foot ball and base
ball and once in track events the Farm
erS have established a record which has
never previously been eQualed by the
athletic teams of any other college
Within the state. and there are six

Western Maryland, Rock Hill and st.
Marys.
The Agges started on their record
breaking winning streak a year ago
last spring. when they developed the
strongest base ball team that has ever
represented the school. They won the
state title easily. The following fall
G913) the foot ball team not only won
the championship but was not even
scored on. Last spring the intercol-
legiate track meet was taken and the
base ball team again swept the state, and
incidentally. made record against out
side, mines unequaled by any aggrega-
ton that ever represented the school
During the past fall, despite very poor
prospects at the start, the eleven came
through surprisingly we'll and again
took high honors.
Within the period mentioned teams
representing NJ. A. c. have \been de-
feated by those representing other Col
leges in Maryland only three times.
twice in base ball and once in foot
ball. The base ball squad lost one
game in each of the two seasons. while
the eleven dropped one during the sea-
son just ended; and, incidentally, the
touchdown which defeated the eleven
was gotten while time was out and
was illegal.
John Greer, who coached the Catho-
lie University eleven a year ago. is now
in charge of athletics at the Catholic
High School in Philadelphia. Greer has
ball team this fall, his last contest be-
ing scheduled today. with a school
which has nearly always proved con-
sistent winner-St. Joseph's College.
That Greer is making good is shown
by the following excerpt from an ar
ticle in a Philadelphia paper:
THE way the situation rests at the
present writing the ST. Joseph's lads
are the favorites. But there are many
surprises in store for the scholastic
sports element. for Catholic High has
plenty of foot ball material, which has
been gradually working up to a high
standard under the supervision of Jack
Greer. who was a star on the Catholic
past.
TT is interesting to note the revival
of spirit that this one person by the
name of Greer has instilled in the
Purple and Gold. Greer came to Catho-
lie High School this fall to take up
the position as athletic adviser of the
Broad and Vine streets institution"
The basket ball team representing the
Ilrrr nayN prfs Nf NJ
won a victory over the Friends School
quint last night by a very narrow mar
gin-two points. The score was - to
20, and the result was not known until
the last whistle had blown. Both teams
played well.
The Trainmen barely won from the
Auditors in the Railroad Y. NJ c. A.
League last night, the score being Is
to IA. The work of Moffett of the
goals from the floor and five from the
foul line. That Moffett got eleven of
his teams fifteen points shows how
effectively he played.
Lehigh had halfback on it's foot
ball team last season who is being
much boosted for a job on the all
American eleven-Cahall. Up at South
Bethlehem they think that Cahall is
one of the greatest backfeld men ever
developed, it being held that he is one
of the most capable all-round players
in the country. To give accurately
what is thought of Cahall at Lehigh
the following statement from "Bosey"
Reiter. physical director. is printed:
"CahalTs performances this fall have
aroused widespread interest. Here is a
man who is proficient in the punting
game, his spirals averaging forty yards
and being timed beautifully for his
ends Here is a man whose drop kick
