FOR TWO GAMES
Meets G. U. Today and c. U.
Tomorrow, When Lehigh
Plays on Hilltop.

BY H. G. BYRD.

, Fordham and Lehigh are week end
visitors to Washington for games with
college mines. The former appears at
Georgetown this afternoon and at
Catholic University tomorrow and the
latter on the Hilltop tomorrow
Both Georgetown and c. U. should
have their hands full against Fordham.
and perhaps little more than their
hands full. The New Workers have the
same team which represented them so
successfully a year ago. with the eX-
ception of Frisch, shortstop. and their
1919 nine surely was sufficiently sue
cessful to engender an opinion that the
team this year is strong enough to give
the best of collegiate aggregations hard
struggles. Fordham was scheduled to
play Johns Hopkins in Baltimore yes
| terday, but the game was called off be-
cause of the cold weather.
! Lehigh has played few games this
year. but usually is represented by
! capa BILE teams in all branches of sports
However, the number of games in
which Catholic L. and Georgetown have
participated should give them an ad-
vantage over both Fordham and Lee
high.
| Georgetown found Boston College
pitchers easy yesterday. when the
Blue and Gray clouted out ten hits
and got twelve runs. Georgetown
won by II to .. scoring five runs in
the second inning and keeping big
lead until the finish Reynolds, one
of the two star hurlers. doing slab
duty for the Blue and Gray. famed
seven and allowed seven hits, and
that despite the fact that he eased
up after the seventh inning.
Jackie Maloney had a big day for
eight fielding chances without an err
ror and got three hits and two walks
out Of the five times he faced the
pitcher.
| Maryland State came back yesterday
/, from its southern trip without a
| pitcher to use against Penn State
Holder, who had just recovered from
an attack of measles. was put into
suit and was hit hard and poorly
supported. State made about a dozen
! errors and Penn State did most of it's
hitting when men We're on the bases.
! The three pitchers who were taken
| south with the Maryland team were
in no shape to work. Keene pitched
last Friday in tight game with North
innings of an eleven-inning contest
| with North Carolina University on
Saturday the last two innings against
Georgia on Monday and the first two
on Tuesday against the same school.
| Nisbet pitched Saturday. Monday,
l !,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
| Both teams scored runs yesterday
| almost at will, as Penn States hurl-
ing and play was but little better
| than Maryland States. The score
was II to 10, Penn State holding a
! lead all the way.
! Central High had little difficulty de
feating the Harrisonburg High School
nine at Harrisonburg yesterday. The
/ Blue and White hit the ball hard and
| Walker worked well on the slab. The
score was II to 4. The play Of Rus
| sell behind the bat and the batting
and fielding of Lemon for Central
were exceptionally good.
! University Of Virginia was BANKED
! by the University of Georgia yester-
day at Charlottesville by 4 to 0. The
! Georgians won their victory. too,
| without some of their best players in
the lineup. Georgia has the one
| year rule in q special agreement with
Virginia. and uses against other
| schools men II cannot use in its games
at Charlottesville. Its regular catcher
was not back of the bat yesterday
and the best pitcher 1t has will non
be able to take part In the contests.
Clarke. who was at Georgia Military
College last year. Is the hurler re-
! ferred to and is said to be about the
best college twirler % any of the
! sou thern mines.
| Probably the best college outfielder
in tho country is playing left field for
the University of Georgia. If there is
