MARYLAND STATE
ENTERS BIG SQUAD
Twenty Men From That COL
Iege to Compete in George
town Games.
OTHER ATHLETIC GOSSIP
BY n. C. BYRD,


The Maryland State College has en-
tered a big squad in the Georgetown
University track meet, to be held Sat
urday night at Convention Hall.
Twenty men will wear the colors of the
Maryland institution in the open and
closed events, there being no event on
the program in which at least one man
from that college will not compete.
State is not to be represented by a
relay team. For the first time in years
the Marylanders will face no college in
a race in the Georgetown games. The
Blue and Gray mana cement had trouble
finding a suitable opponent for them,
and besides that many of the men
wanted to see what they could accom-
plish in open competition. The major
ity of those composing the squad are
inexperienced, but there are several
members of it capable of giving the
best performers in the section all they
are looking for in the way of COMPETE
ton. Brewer certainly is the best dash
artist. Chapman has not more than one
superior in the half-mile, and there are
not many Cuartermilers better than
one or two of the men who will COM
pete in that event under States colors.
The Western High basket ball team
won from the St. Adams quint yes
terday in rather we'll played contest.
Morsse played brilliantly for St. Alban,
counting seventeen of his teams TWEEN
ty-one points. Western scored twenty
eight points.
Two forfeits occurred and two games
We're played of the four scheduled last
night in the Sunday School Basket Ball
League. Covenant forfeited to North
minister and Mount Pleasant forfeited
to Epiphany. In the contests which
took place Peck defeated Mount Pleas
! ant Seniors and Keller won from the
Petworth Juniors. The winners got
the long ends of the scores without
much trouble. taking the victories
rather easily.
Burton Shipley. former Maryland
State athlete, has been placed in charge
of athletics at the Perkioman School.
Pennsburg, Pa. Shipley went to Per-
kionen last fall as assistant foot ball
coach and coach of base bail and basket
ball. His work was exceedingly good,
and when the director of athletics de-
cided to leave to accept another posi-
ton Shipley was offered the place.
Shipley was one of the best athletes
the Maryland institution ever had. He
graduated there in 1911, and won his
varsity letter in foot ball. base ball
and basket ball. In all three sports he
| starred, playing fullback and quarter
short in base ball and guard in basket
ball.
Brooke Brewer, Maryland State star,
went to New York this morning to COM
pete tonight in the New York Athletic
Club meet. Brewer will run in the in
vitation dash event against the best
athletes in the country. He again will
face Loomis of Chicago and Meyer of
New York, the two men who beat him
games. Brewer is starting faster now
than he was at that time. and should
be more formidable in the short dashes.
| Catholic University ran its men
through a set of time trials last night.
and thereby picked the relay four
which will run against George Wash
ington University in the meet Saturday
| night. On the quartet are two Wash
| ington boys, both former Technical
High men, Rooney and Nicholson, who
make the third and fourth members of
| the team, and both did some track work
at Tech. kean and Driscoll. the re-
naming members of the 1916 team,
| hold the other two places. Kean is the
| fastest man of the four. He was a men,
Der of the team year ago, but did not
show as well as he should. to judge by
| what he did in high school ranks before
entering the Brookland institution.
Jimmy Mulligan, coach of the team, ex
pressed himself last year as being dis
| appointed with kean's showing, but at
| tributed it to the failure to recuperate
from an illness. Kean this season is
running in fine form and is likely to
prove himself as capable as any quar-
ter-miler in the section.
A meeting of the board of directors
| of the Maryland State College Athletic
Association is scheduled for tonight
Various matters pertaining to athletics
at the college will come up for discus
sion. Particularly will the question Of
the track meet be settled. The meet
Saturday in May, May 5. but possibly
| there will be some changes this spring.
| in that the games, instead of being
| closed to Maryland and the District of
Columbia. Will be opened to any insti-
| tuition in the south.
