COLLEGES FIGURING
ON SPRING DATES
Busy Shaping Schedules for
Base Ball, Track and
Tennis.
BY IL, e. BYRD.

Colleges here are busy arranging
schedules for their spring sports. Prac-
tically all the institutions will be repre-
scented in three branches Of intercol-
legiate activity and at least one intends
to foster four.
Whether there will be as many north
ern base ball teams as usual on sched-
ules of teams in Washington is not
known. Base ball schedules, while shap-
ing up, have not been completed by any
means, and 1t may be that more
northern mines than now seem prob
able will play here. At present. though.
there does not seem to be the tendency
on the part of big northern coaches to
bring their squads south that there was
before the war
Georgetown. Catholic University and
Gallaudet will support base ball, track
and tennis, while Maryland State in
tends to have these three and lacrosse.
it is doubtful if there will be much
competition in this immediate section in
indoor track sports. but, excepting
Maryland State. the other colleges plan
to carry out extensive basket ball sched
uies. The Maryland eleven is not to be
represented in any indoor sports this
Year. according to a decision reached at
Il meeting of the athletic board some
time ago.
Using practically the same lineup
as that which went through a brilliant
season year ago, Georgetown

Ar Sharpe has offered to tender his
resignation as foot ball coach at Yale.
II Yale students and alumni desire that
action, according to a report printed in
a New York paper. Incessant criticism
over the loss of the Princeton and Har-
Nard games is given as the reason for
if Yale alumni and undergraduates
really attribute the loss of the Har-
ward and Princeton games to nv
coaching and want to bring Tad Jones
back as head coach, L shall not de-
mand that Yale carry out nv three
year contract
If my work is unsatisfactory and
there is popular demand that I go,
VIII go. There have been clques
that were not workin,, for the best
interests of Yale. and there was no
harmony. There is too great a bridge
between the academic and scientific
department. Yale lost it's two big
gest games because of loose playing"
DR.. Sharpe's statement that there
was not harmony among those sup
posed to be working for Yale should
be interesting to Yale alumni. If
that was the situation then Yale
alumni should set themselves the
tors and root them out; elimination
of such factors should do more to re-
build Yale's foot ball prestige than
continued criticism of the leader.
A former Pennsylvania now resid-
ing in Washington writes letter in
which he asks: Have you heard of
the record of the Harrisburg Tech
eleven" and then proceeds to give
something of the record made by that
school.
Practically everybody who knows
anything about fnterscholastic foot
ball gives Harrisburg Technical High
School the credit for having had the
strongest high school eleven in the
country. 1t won all it's games by big
scores. was not scored against. and
