BALTIMORE. October e.-when it
was officially announced that Johns
Hopkins University would not en-
ter team in the race for the 1913
foot ball championship of Maryland,
followers Of the fall sport came to
the conclusion that the gridiron game,
like boxing. would be placed on the
shelf. so far as Baltimore was con-
cerned. but now a great hope looms
in the mist of uncertainty. for st.
Johns has asked State College to play
her in this city.
Such a game, on Thanksgiving day
or the Saturday previous, would be a
wonderful attraction and like an oasis
in the desert Of disappointment. SO it
is hoped that Curly Byrd, athletic d.
rector at the College Park school, will
grasp the opportunity to please Bal
timoreans and make some money
upon which the two institutions will
be able to stage other branches of
sport.
