! vantage. of course, the Port Deposit
team probably has had no more out

has had the advantage of 4 large cake

as long as the Episcopalians.
| Albert ID. Sturterant. former West
ern High School hoy. has been elected
, to the captaincy of the Yale University
| crew for the coming season. Sturtevant
succeeds Denegree. who recently re
signed the position because physicians

! because of the exceptionally early
practice gotten this spring. As has
| before been said in this column, not
| withstanding Georgetown's fine pros
i poets. Mount St. Joseph's is sure to
prove a hard team to beat. The Bal

the plate. as he has always been afftiet-

Tommy Thompson. Washinst"n
! boy, may start in the box for the Blue
and Gray. Thompson has proved his
worth at Georgetown already in the
practice contests, having worked full

SO well has Thompson been doing that
those in charge of athletics on the
| Hilltop figure him to be one of their
regular hurlers. Charley Cox. grad
uate manager of athletics. SAID not
long ago: IF Tommy Thompson does
not win a lot of games for US this
spring / will be very much mista ken.
