At the present time the Maryland
University is represented In football.
baseball, indoor and outdoor track,
cross-country. running. lacrosse and
tennis.
Durin. the past two years the
baseball and football teams have been
stepping out to meet the big ones
with a fair degree of success. Last
fall in football the Marylanders ran
the gamut of games north and south.
In baseball this spring athletic di.
rector Byrd plans to take his team
west for a crack at the Conference
teams. The most pretentious schedule
possible will be attempted in baseball
this year.
VIII Boom Track.
According to present plans track
athletics will be boosted to the limit
at Maryland. The new track will be
ready this spring and the schedule
will include the Penn Relay. the Dis
trict Quadrangular Meet. the South
Atlantics and one or two Sual en-
gagements.
It is not unlikely that Maryland
will return to its policy OF several
years back and will hold big track
meet in the spring for Maryland
Interscholastic and College meets as
they were known several years back
were annual features.
Since the old track was discarded
and after the war started. the Mary
land track team didn't keep pace
with other teams. Plans are under
way this spring. however. to popu-
.Arize the sport and bring II up to
the status Of football and baseball.
There is every indication that Mary
land will 60 in strong for basketball
after the new gymnasium is a reality.
Swimming. too. will probably find its
place in the sport program.
Come Along Fast.
Maryland has come along remark
ably fast In the last few years. Under
II. c. Byrd athletics have been sue
cessfully developed and a majority OF
Maryland students are competing on
one or two university teams.
Some Of the sports are not as in
tensified as others but excellent re-
suits are being gotten all along the
line and the way Is being paved for
expansion In every branch Of athletics.

Athletic authorities of the Naval
Academy state that no difference has
arisen between the two institutions,
and that recent games have been free
from unpleasant Incidents. Somehow,
however, 1t has been found impossible
to schedule games In recent years.
There Is no doubt that such games
would be highly interesting and
ehould help to maintain a high stand
ard at both institutions.
It Is altogether probable that II
GEORGETOWN had maintained its ath-
letic relations with the Naval Acad-
envy more closely, the Naval Academy
would have arranged for the playing
Of some games in Washington, the
midshipmen now having far greater
privileges in the way of playing games
away from Annapolis. Undoubtedly
Navy teams would prove a great at
traction in Washington. where there
are so many naval officers ana other
friends of the Naval Academy.
} II is highly probable that arrange
ments might be made for the PLAYING
OF baseball or basketball by the Navy
team in Washington, or that an agree
ment for playing both games there In
alternate years, might have ben reach-
ed with Georgetown. Navy teams
have already played in New YORK.
philadelphia and Baltimore, and there
is more reason for their playing IN
Washington than in any OF these
places, barring only the ffndlng Oh
suitable opponents.
The Naval Academy baseball ana
lacrosse teams both played IN Baiti'
more last year, meeting Johns HOP
kins at both sports and the Uni
versity of West Virginia at baseball.
This year, the baseball nine plays
against the University OF Pennsyl-
yania in Philadelphia. Next year,
Pennsylvania will play at Annapolis,
so the midshipmen will want to play
some other team outside of Annapo-
lis. This would afford fine oppor-
tunfty for Georgetown or some other
Washington institution
The situation In regard to basket
hall is almost Identical. The naval
five will go b Philadelphia to meet
Penn varsity. 1t will be the first
game the Navy has ever played
away from Annapolis In this sport,
except the one game against the
Army five. 1t will take one trip
each season, and Washington pre-
sents more attractions than any
other place in many particulars.
In both baseball and basketball,
the contests between the two teams
have been uniformly good and have
afforded great interest. Unfortunate
ly, there was a display of bad feel
ing IN the last game Of basketball.
played five or six years ago, and
the teams have not met sinse. How
ever. the ethics and practices Of the
game have improved and there is
better officiating. A recurrence is
unlikely.

man, an English born, Chicago raised
lad who used to box preliminaries at
the old Pioneer Club In West Forty
fourth, when Joe Lynch and Jack
Sharkly were also starting out.
Burman Has Experience.
Burman is a thoroughly seasoned
fighter, now about twenty-three
years old. and at the top of his
form. He beat Midget Smith not
long ago in a fashion that leads to
the impression that he can do II
again.
AS for Buff, the champion. Bur
man is an even-money chance IL they
ever meet. Buff is a remarkable
little chap, around thirty-three years
old, and while be bested Herman
beyond all cavil when he won the
bantamweight title, he did not per-
form in a particularly impressive
manner-not nearly as impressively
as when he was winning battles as
a flyweight.
In fact, some were inclined to think
that If they met again, Herman would
be the victor, something the writer
is inclined to doubt since Pete's
showing against Smith. Since winning
the title, Buff has been outslapped
in a no-decision bout by Pal Moore,
which means nothing, however, as
Pal would be apt to outslap any man
in the world in a limited bout.
Had he been able to punch, Moore
would long ago have been the cham
pion of the world. AS it is, few can
outpoint him over short routes.
Buff q Great Little Man.
When you consider his age and his
spidery physique, you must concede
that Buff Is one Of the modern ring
marvels.
He was the American nyweight
champion before he won the bantam
weight title, and some consider him
now holder of both titles. However,
as there is worlds flyweight in
Wilde, the Jersey Skeeter undoubt-
eddy rates his bantamweight honors
as the more important.
Buff is not a great boxer, but he is
a cracking good hitter. He can take
a punch, and he Is as game as they
come. He is a good little man, and
1t will take a good little man to beat
him.
Not far below Burman and Smith
we would place Phil O'Dowd, of Co
lumbus, brother OF Eddie O'Dowd, the
flyweight. Phil came on here not
long ago and bested Joe Lynch dis
playing a marvellous left hand. He
later lost a decision to Sammy Nable,
a good little boy from the East Side,
but many Of the spectators thought
Phil deserved no worse than n draw.
Phil O'Dowd, II he comes on, is GER
tain to cut considerable hay in the
bantamweight division. He is as yet
more of a prospect than anything else,
but he has plenty Of ability-and that
great left hand.
Many Good Prospects.
Another good prospect among the
young bantams is Harold Farese, a
lad who has been steadily improving,
and whose manager thinks he is so
far along that he is pelting challenges
at the stars of the division. Still an
other is Harry London.
Among these stars, twinkling less
brightly than in other days, we must
mention Joe Lynch. the former cham
pion, and Jack Sharkey, of the west
side, still quite an audience pleaser
in spite of defeats.
Sometimes your manner of losing
makes as great hit with New York

Der. went DIR. Meylan one better. or
rather worse when he said that all
intercollegiate sports should be
scrapped. In his address he main
tanned that this radical action would
be the only thing that would eradi-
cate the many evils which are rapidly
increasing.
Here are a few Of the points that
were stressed by DR.. Meylan.
Student Body Distracted.
The tremendous increase in pub
lie interest and attendance at athletic
contests during the last two years has
seved to acentuate the difficulties
arising out Of spectacular and COM
mercialized intercollegiate activities.
Steadily increasing demands upon the
time and energy of the participants
for training and trips and greatly in
creased distraction Of the whole stu
dent body from academic duties only
serve to intensity the antagonism of
college officials who still believe that
study should be the chief activity Of
college students.
by far the most serious condition Is
that a considerable proportion of the
men in charge of athletics as coaches,
trainers and advisers fail to recognize
the differences between amateur,
rcreational or educational athletics
and professional or commercial
athletics.
Many of these men had their
training and experience in profess
sional athletics; they are not college
men, they are not college officers.
and they know that their salary and
tenure Of office depend on the sue
cess of their teams. These mon
have the ideals and employ the meth
IDS Of professional athletes. 1t Is only
'air to say that there are a few ex'
ceptions to the rule.
Another unfavorable influence "a
he rapidly increasing commercialism
which permeates athletic administra'
ion. The extravagant luxuries of
yesterday have become the necessities
4 today. AS much is spent on each
player Of a present day football team
IS was spent on the entire team some
years ago.
Enforce Migratory Rule.
THE complete eradication of pros,
elyting will not be accomplished I'M
I'll all the colleges adopt and enforce
The migrtory rule recently adopted by
The Southern intercollegiate Associa-
ton which prevents a student from
ever representing more than one col
lege In athletics.
Unless many otherwise splendid
ads are interruptions liars they actu-
ally receive offers ranging from free
tuition to all expenses, including n
liberal sum for pocket money"
DIR. Meylan added: college facul-
ties are gradually recognizing the
educational value of athletics and
that the men who are put in charge
of physical education courses possess
the same educational, social and
professional qualifications as Off
GERS of corresponding grades in
charge OF other subjects.
