ON HILLTOP TODAY
BIacksburg CoI|egians Meet
G. u. in First of Two
Contests.
BY H. c. BYRD.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute plays
at Georgetown today and tomorrow
The Blacksburgers have taken part
| in three games here and have been
defeated in all. but, at that. it is pos
sible for them to get away with one
| of the two contests with the Blue
and Gray. Georgetown defeated V. p.
l. at Backsburg earlier in the year
by Is to and to 3.
The second contest the Eirginians
were scheduled to play with Catholic
University did not take place, the Wis
itors losing their uniforms somewhere
between College Park and Washing
ton The rest since last Thursday has
given Coach Bernier chance to ease
up on his exceptionally weak pitch
ing staff, and should enable him to
make better showing against
Georgetown than would be the case
il all the games scheduled had been
played.
Tech and Business are scheduled to
meet today in the high school base
ball series. Wednesday Business is
to play again, being booked to face
Central.
Centrars nine is rather hard up
for pitching talent. Russell. who was
work against Eastern. is green at the
job and lacks control, and krupp, who
was depended upon. is ineligible be-
cause of a technicality. 1t seems
that Central is going 10 have mighty
hard shedding to get away with
championship this spring.
Beginning this week there are to be
swimming meets at the bathing beach
every Saturday until fall. The open
ing events Saturday are the District
of Columbia interscholastic cham
pionships.
Jimmie wright's Rex Athletic Club
nine trounced two local clubs yester-
day afternoon at Union League Park
by Is to and 10 to 0, taking the
m easure of the Marines Of the Gov
eminent League by the first mention
ed score and beating the B. and Q.
nine of the Terminal Railroad Y. NJ.
C. A. League by the shutout count.
Finnegan's pitching. batting and
general play featured the first game
out of as many trips to the plate
and handled five assists in the field
The losers got seven hits off his de-
livery. The second game was even
easier than the first, Offutt of Rex
allowing the railroaders only three
hits.
Clarendon found the Shipping Board
nine easy yesterday in game at
Clarendon. winning by 10 to 0. Degnan
and Miller of the winners played good
ball at third and back of the bat. and
batted we'll Degnan got three hits
out of four times at bat. Stewart
ming fifteen men.
CorneIrs victory in the intercolleg-
late Saturday was another triumph
for Jack Moakley, the Ithacans' track
coach. The dean of trainers, despite
of Pennsylvania has been gathering
back from the colors. and despite the
qualification in the preliminaries of
seventeen men by Pennsylvania
against ten by Cornell, captured first
honors by more than ten points. Fail
ure of Erdman of Princeton to run in
the hurdles allowed Cornell to make
sweep of first and second in each
event. Its work in the hurdles and
middle distances and two miles gave
it the meet Pennsylvania and Penn
sylvania's followers had no other
idea than that the Red and Blue squad
should defeat Cornell and be the vic
tor.
1t is reported that Kenyon. George
towns catcher. has an offer to play
big league base ball.
Nays varsity crew has gone
through its season without a defeat
The Midshipmen have won from the
best crews in the country, and I'M
doubtedly stand out as the "summun
bonum' of collegiate rowing. Penn
sylvania, Princeton. Syracuse and
Harvard went this spring in races at
Annapolis, and Saturday at the Ameri-
can Henley the Middies again showed
! their heels to about the best that the
east offers.
