SEVERAL COLLEGES
IOENTER RELAYS.
Good Representation Likely
in S. A. |. A. A. TituIar Race
in Penn Games.
BY H. C. BYRD.

More South Atlantic intercollegiate
Athletic Association colleges will be
represented in the Penn relays this
history of the games, if present in
dfcations hold good. II seems likely
that V. NJ l.. Virginia, Catholic Uni
versity. Hopkins. Georgetown and
Ma ryland State will entee duartets,
with a possibility that others also
may take part.
Four of the mentioned colleges al
ready have stated that they intend to
enter teams, and it is understood on
fairly definite authority that the other
two will. Also. if Statements given
out by representatives Of the institu-
tiens are made good, the outdoor
cham pionships will have a great many
more individuals in competition than
in any meet since the year before the
war. In fact, it seems more than
possible that greater number than
have entered any of the previous
meets may compete.

Lee University may not have base
bali team this spring. A letter from
Bill Rafferty,, resident coach at the
Lexington Institution, states that ii
is not yet determined whether a base
ball schedule will be played If a
schedule is made out, it is understeod
that ii will be shorter than usual
and contain less big games, although
representative mines from the south
Atlantic section viii be met. w and
l.. is playing basket ball, but not on
its usual basis. Difficulties encounter
ed in changing from s. A. T. c. con-
dltions to normal college life have
thrown the institution back in its
work.
Washington and Lee probably will
have back next fall nearly all the
foot ball players who made up its
great eleven Of 1915. A report recently
published in a Richmond paper states
that Bethel Ignico, Johnson and the
remainder of the collection of stars
that made up that eleven are either
back in the university already or
intend to return by next fall
Several former Washington High
School players will be candidates for
places on Maryland States base ball
team this spring. Johnny Eiseman
and 'Snitz' SNYDER of Tech are ex-
pected TO make positions en- the
squad; Myers of Western, Raedy of
business and Molster, Hartshorn. Ed
mends and Bailey of Central are 9TH
ers who did good work as members OF
the mentioned high school mines, and
should put up good fights for regular
berthS.
Penn State is trying to arrange a
ease bali trip through this section
tor Easter week. If it asks other
teams for as big guarantees as it
wanted from Maryland state it is NOT
flkely to schedule many games.
Johnny Groves. one of the stars of
Westerns base ball teams for the last
Two years, should prove himself one
or the best infielders in the high
sc1ooi series this spring. Groves was
member of the S. A. T. c. foot ball
squad at Maryland State last faIl.
Gurevich of Tech is another pronis-
ing prospect for high school base
ball who was u member of the State
military units eleven. Gureyich is
SAID TO be a good catcher.
Putting in basket ball as a major
sport in the colleges. on the same
basis with foot ball. base ball and
track reminds one of trying to make
a stake horse out of selling pIater
by staebng the latter with a string
Of record breakers.

w lison, athletic officer, is making
tour among eastern colleges in an at
tempt to arrange the trip. He is
