University of Maryland's squad has
been rounding into shape under the
direction Of Capt. Bailey and is ready
| to begin work tomorrow to develop
something in the way of team play
for its opening with TIE Midshipmen.
According to what has been shown
50 far. the team is likely to be made
up pretty much as it was year ago.
Groves and Moran are fighting for
, the position AT third. while Paganucci
at second and Pollock at first and
Burroughs at short. all of whom held
down these positions last season.
seem due to be back in them again
as regulars.
Semler is the only outfielder of the
1921 team on hand. but il is probable
that the positions left open by gradu-
alton of regulars will be filled accept
ably. Either Moran or Groves. who
ever fails to hold the place at third.

positions, while the other is to he

been doing some excellent work
around first base. but it is doubtful

Pollock for the job. Burdette played

County League. Gardner. Litchtield
and Besley are the best of the otner
infielders.

care of by Nisbet, Schrider. Chiches-

Wilson and Clayton, The former in
the Dental School and tke latter in

do some of it.
While the Maryland base ball team
is playing the Navy nine the lacrosse
| twelve will be stacking up against
the Middies in that sport. The COL
lege Parkers have about the best
lacrosse prospects in their history.
Coach Moran of Catholic University
is having difficulty deciding on tie
best position in which to use Drisco !,
his star first baseman of last season.
He has had Driscoll back of the bat
and now is using him at first and
second. Driscoll is alternating with
T, Yeager in the two positions. and this
| pair will hold down the first and sec
! ond sacks, but it will not be decided
! until Wednesday who will be placed
permanently in either place.
| No other infielder has shown any
| thing that would give even impress
| sion of being good enough to beat
| out De Nault at short. DE Nault's
work in the position last season was
one of the features of nearly all
c. L. games. Mccarthy. Lawler,
Heiberger and Connell are working
for the vacant job at third. Breslin,
Vail and Lynch are the pick of the
outfielderS, and Corwin certainly has

| Catholic L. has not decided whether
or not it will have a track and field
team this spring. The BrooklanderS
are not at all satisfied with the work
done by their squad year ago, and
