series in the game which may decide
/ the championship. Each quint has
won three games and neither has
defeat registered against it, Eastern,
Central and Western have fallen be-
! fore the Stenographers and Manual
| Trainers men. and the contest not
only will be enhanced by the meeting
of'two indicated fives. but is more
! important, because the victor is sure
| to be conceded the best chance for
! the title.
Some time ago. right after the first
appearance of the Tech and Business
teams against other quints. it was
predicted by close follower of
scholastic sports that one of the two
would win the high school title. That
] prediction seems likely to be borne
out. now that the quints are running
| such a close race and have shown
superiority over the other three. The
contest is scheduled to take place at
| the Y. NJ. c. A, at $3.50
Eastern and Central will play the
other game Tuesday in the school
series. That probably will be fought
out on the Business High floor
Over in Baltimore the I'd Regiment
IA. A. has scheduled set OF indoor
athletic games for March s. The Balti-
imoreans already are attempting to en-
list interest of the South Atlantic In
tercollegiate Athletic Association in
the affair, and probably plan to de-
velop big meet.
News of this meet came to Washing
ton yesterday afternoon in an indirect
= way. and nothing official has been an
nounced. so far as can be learned.
n Whether or not the Johns Hopkins
5th Regiment games are to take place
this year is not known. as no state
S ments either way have been made.
+ Georgetown is scheduled to play
+ two basket ball games this week.
Tuesday night the Hilltoppers go
against Camp Humphreys and Satur-
/ day are to meet the Randolph Macon
combination. Georgetown has back
! Fees. the star of its team of last year.
and the other players in the line-up
/, look capable enough to round out q
, combination that should attain its
share of success against the best
euints to be faced.

stop of Maryland States base ball
team. returned to college yesterday.
Riggs has been a lieutenant in the
, Army, stationed at New Hampshire
State College. acting as military IN

= mentioned in this connection that
Riggs is just about s good short
stop as one usually finds in college

Quite a lot of argument pro and con
is going on at the University of Penn
E sylvania about the relative values OF
t class gymnastic exercises and outdoor
sports Ore faction at the Quaker In
stitution wants to convert a dig piece
of land into great indoor playground
land the other seems to desire to con-
: struct a great stadium and enlarge
the gymnasium facilities. The argu-
ment as to the comparative worth 81
: indoor and outdoor athletics mas
taken up much a,tention az . n,,cn
(, However. there really Is NOT mucn
room for argument. and the whole
ouestion depends on the season OF the
year During the Indictment weather
> from November until the middle OF
March q gymnasium is almost inuis-
nensable while in the part of the
I YEAR that lies between March and No
yember there is not the least doubt
, that a gymnasium is more or less
worthless as far as the colleges are con-
cerned. If they are not more or ie IS
worthless. they ought to be made so
, by DEVELOPMENT of plans for outdoor
