Announcement is made by the ex-
ecutiye committee of the South At
lantic intercollegiate A. A. that the
annual track and field games, sched-
uled May II and II, Will not be held:
Washington and Lee, Georgetown ana
virginia, three of the largest institu-
tions in the association, have declared
off their athletic schedules FOR the re-
mainder of the year. This would ieaVe
the meet without a representative
list of entries, and the committee de-
termined that it would be best not to
have the competitions at all.
Boston College has Cancelled its
southern trip in base ball. Maryland
State and Catholic University had con-
tests listed with the northern team this
week. the former having had it sched-
uled tomorrow and the latter for Thurs
day.
Technical Highs nine is scheduled to
go to Fort Hunt today for contest
with the team representing that place.

last week, the score being to 4.
DENLY Hird. captain and pitcher at
Techn ical High last spring. is trying
out for the nine representing the Car
negie Institute of Technology. Hird en-
tered that institution last fall and now
seems to be in fair way to make
a place on its ball team. Hird has been
spending the Easter holidays with his
parents, Prof. and Mrs. J. DENLY Hird.
Maryland States lineup for it's open
ing game is very much undecided. The
State team has had so little practice
and played no games. that it has been
next to impossible to get even fair
