university goes through with plans
for base ball this spring it should be
given much credit, but, considering
the conditions. it should not be
censured in the least if it were to
discard the game until a year or
two from now, when it will have had

University of Maryland is making;
rearrangement of it's base ball
schedule which involves the cancella-
ton of the trip to Morgantown and
Pittsburgh, and probably the jaunt to
Newark and Bethlehem. These two
trips are scheduled the last week in
May and the first week in June. and
involve almost two weeks of absence
the year. The athletic board is of the
opinion that some of the men on the
ball team may be too near the ragged
edge in their classes to run the risk
of having them fail in their third
terms work. Particularly in this true
who will be depended upon to be ELI

are being made to close the schedule
