| Much interest will center ipssthe
! Georgetown-Maryla game We&8ss
| day. 1t is we'll recognized that 10Th
| schools turned out strong combina-
| tions a year ago. and that both are
going to be well represented this
season. If the two teams are in any
kind of condition the game should
be one OF the best meetings of the
| season.
| 4 letter received from Dartmouth
! states that the condition Of it's field
| is such. from snow and cold weather.
that it is doubtful If the nine will
be able to get out much before May /.
| For that reason the Green is making
! a belated effort to arrange a southern
| trip. 1t desires to come down this
way to play games from April until
April II.
| University of Vermont will be the
| first northern team to hit these parts.
| 1t will land in Washing ton this wee X

ranged. The following week Yale and
Cornell are among those scheduled
| TO appear here.
| No college in the section is likely to
| have a better pair of pitchers than
| and Sam Hyman. Good box work is
( sure to be usual at Georgetown this
| spring rather than unusual. Besides
| these two ,top-notch performers, the
| Blue and Gray also has Zazalli. who
did creditable work last season at
| times. to fall back on.
! Charley Moran of Catholic Cniver-
\ sity thinks there is not much doubt
| that he will turn out strong combi-
nation If his pitching staff measures
, up to fair standard. Last year Mo-
! ran had good run-getting nine, but
| it was a nine which could not prevent
| the opposing team rolling up around a
dozen runs to game.
Smith one of the men trying out
for the pitching star at Maryland
! State. won 10 l game against Cat
( olic University last season. Smith was
! at st. Johns at that time The other
! three members of the State hurting
I corps are Keene and Holder. who
! stabbed last spring. and Nisbet, who
/ was something Of star at the Balti-
more Polytechnic Institute. Not one
of the four pitchers has yet let him
| self out. as the weather has be EN-
! against anything that savored OF real
pitching.
: Wilson, who has played fine foot ba II
| and basket bail already this year for
Gallaudet. Is expected to win further
| honors for himself and his school ny
putting UP great game at short on
! the ball club. A year ago Wilson was
| little short of sstar in the position,
and. II anything, is more valuable on
tthe diamond han in basket ball
