All Leading College Teams
of the East on the List:
Maroon to Play Giants

Fordham University's baseball sched-
ule, as announced last night by
Aoysius F. Arthur, the manager, con-
sists Of thirty-six contests, twenty-one
OF which will be staged at Fordham
Field. The list is the most preten-
tlous ever arranged at the Bronx uni
versity and includes practically all Of
the college mines Of the East.
Among the teams that the Maroon
aggregation will meet this year are
Harvard. Princeton, Holy Cross, New
York Giants, Boston Braves, Univer-
sity Of Penn sylvania, Penn State, Col
gate. Dartmouth, Columbia, University
of California, Johns Hopkins and the
University of Pittsburgh.
Home and Home Games
Home and home contests have been
scheduled with Columbia, Holy Gross,
Boston College. Catholic University
and the University of Vermont. The
games with University Of Pennsyi-
vania, Penn State and Johns Hopkins
mean a renewal of athletic relations
with these institutions after lapse of
more than decade.
The Maroon nine will make its an
nual Southern trip during it's Eastern
vacation and will play Villanova, at
Villanova. Pal. John Hopkins, at Bal
timore; Catholic University, at Wash
ington, and Georgetown, at Washing
ton; 1t is possible also that the trip
will include contest with the Balti-
more Orioles, champions Of the Inter-
national League, whom Fordham de-
feated at Baltimore last spring by the
score Of 9 to z.
In addition to tho usual Southern
jaunt the Fordham nine will also make
Northern trip this year during the
early part of June. The Bronxonian.
will face the University Of Vermont,
at Burlington, VT; Norwich University.
at Northfield, VT; Rensselaer, Poly, at
Troy. n: Y, and Harvard, at Cam
bridge, Mass.
The Maroon nine will open its season
on April j, with Boston College, on
the local teams field II is likely that
in this contest, Fitzpatrick, the Hub
pitcher, who registered two victories
over the Bronx men last year, will op-
pose the Maroon batters in the open
ing tilt
f'ordham will make determined BIO
for the championship of the Eastern
colleges, which title it camo within 81
ace Of winning last year. Baseball cx-
pcrts rated Fordham second TO Holy
Cross. The latter nine suffered its ou!y
defeat of the season at the hands Of
the local college.
Yale Will BE Missed
Fordham's baseball followers have
expressed keen disappointment over the
absence of Yale from the schedule of
games. The teams played two games
last year, and each emerged with a vic
tory after extra innings of play. The
New Haven authorities recently notified
the Fordham management that they
will be unable to give the local nine
place on their schedule. However,
there is still slight possibility that
the two colleges will meet again this
year
One Of the features of the many
games arranged by Fordham is the ex-
hibiton contest with the New York
Giants, which will be staged at the
Polo Grounds on April IL. On the fol-
lowing day, April 13, Fordham will
entertain the Boston Braves on it's
Bronx field. These two contests will
provide good practice for the two
major league teams for their opening
game Of the National League cham
pionship season al the Polo Grounds
on April ID.
