HOPKINS DESERVES
AID IN TRACK MEET
Baltimore Institution Making
Effort to Hold Together South
Atlantic |. A. A..
BY h. c. BYRD.
It's u safe bet that the young
fellow who thinks golf does not
require physical stamina never
played around an eiEhteen-hole
course ON a hot afternoon.

Efforts being made by Johns Hop
kins University to keep alive the South
Atlantic intercollegiate A. A. deserve
the support of all institutions COM
prising that organization. Hopkins peo-
pie practically have taken over the
management of the annual track and
field meet and are trying to hold 1t
under exceedingly disadvantageous
circumstances. Entries are slow COM
ing in. as few of the colleges and uni
versities are represented in track
sports, and there will be so few en-
tries this season that in all probability
instead Of taking the customary two
days. -
Hopkins athletic authorities should
be supported in their work. Particu-
larly, colleges in this immediate sec
ton, which can send men without much
expense, ought to make special eff
fort to be represented by at least two
or three or half a dozen athletes. I'm
less they do there is no question about
this being the last attempt to hold
the meet until after the war, and in
all probability it will come near mark
ing the end OF track sports until peace
is declared and conditions become
somewhat near normal again.
Schafer broke into the high school
series yesterday against Eastern by
pitching Central to a one-sided victory.
The Blue and White took the measure
Of the Capitol Hill aggregation by IA
to 1. Schafer struck out twelve men
and allowed Eastern only three hits.
There was not much to the contest at
any time except the excellent hurting
nf he frol HI a
ball "all over the lot" getting a total
of eighteen safe cracks. Dasher and
Russell led with their sticks, each con-
Meeting for three safeties. Thomas
played excellent ball for Eastern, both
at bat and in the field.
In the other game Technical got the
decision over Business by to Z. Bust
stages. but in the latter part the
Manual Trainers started scoring
heavily. The play of the two mines on
the whole was fairly even.
