Practically every institution in this
section started its base ball practice
yesterday. if it had not been begun be-
fore. At Georgetown two mines were
lined up and a five-inning game staged.
At Catholic University the squad was
got out for its first real workout, and
the Maryland AGgies and Gailaudet
also began the preliminary training.
The work was got under way at the
majority of the preparatory and high
schools around Washington, too.
Georgetown's squad YVES divided into
two sections and lined up for prac-
and the men did about as well as could
have been expected for SO early in the
year. The pitchers were not allowed
TO use anything but straight balls,
with a fair amount of speed, and the
base runners were told not to take
chances of injury. Catholic University's
aggregation went through a regular
work -out, while the Maryland Aggies
did nothing more than take little
batting practice. a late military drill
preventing a longer workout.
From now on the squads Will go
through a hard drill each day in an
effort to get into some kind of shape
before the opening of the season. Each
of the teams is back in its work. with
out doubt, and will have to put forth
some strenuous efforts to make up for
lost time. Particularly is this true
with respect to the pitchers, inasmuch
as they have not been able to work
outdoors before.

The loss of Gilman to Harvard's team

He was one. of the best linemen in
the country last season, ard was the
bulwark of one side of the Crimson
