The Maryland Agricultural College
foot ball schedule for next fall was
announced yesterday by Manager Ken
meth Grace The season will be opened
September % with a game against the
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, and
will be closed Thanksgiving day at
Baltimore with Johns Hopkins.
There are few changes in the list OF
contests. and those few consist mainly
of the time when the teams will be
met. Gallaudet. instead of being on
the schedule late in the season, as has
been usual. will be played October 1t.
Johns Hopkins has been an early con-
test heretofore, but it is now booked
for Thanksgiving. Western Maryland,
which was played early in the 1914 sea-
son. will be met November 13.
There is one new team the Farmers
have never met before-Haverford.
two-year contract has been signed with
that institution, NJ A. c. to play at
Haverford this coming fall. and Haver-
ford to appear at College Park in 1915.
The Farmers have better prospects
for foot ball team next fall than they
had last. as only four men will be lost.
They should turn out one of the strong
est elevens they have ever had, unless
something unforeseen happens.
E. r. Hindman of Port Deposit. Md,
la former Tome Institute man, is captain
of the squad Hindman has played
three years at NJ. A. c., and will
graduate next spring. He was right
tackle in the seasons of 1912 and 1913,
but last fall was shifted to fullback
after the first two games; he did some
brilliant work in both positions.

Charley Plunkett. who is managing
the St Teresa nine in the Potomac
League, was injured SO severely some
time ago by a pitched ball that ne
may play very little more this season.
He was hit in the jaw with a fast
one which splintered the bone, and
since that has been adorning the bench.
PIunkett says that he hopes to get
back in another week or SO, but does
not know how rapidly the injury will
mend.
There is every indication that anna
teur base ball is going to have more
successful season this year than last
The play is better in many of the or
panizations and there seems to be
greater general interest in the con-
tests Larger crowds are watching the
meetings of the clubs. which means a
stronger financial condition, and more
inspira ton for the players.

that the absence of broils and squa bibles

There probably will be several en-

announced their intention to send

the Analostans may have two eights
