sity and the University of Virginia.
Manager Wilhelm C. Weber of the
tennis team expects Il squad OF more
than thirty racketerS to answer the
first call for candidates. There is
deal of good tennis talent at College
Park. and in all likelihood team
capable of giving all other college
combinations in this section a good
battle will be developed. Prominent
among the racket wielders there IS
Larry Phillips, former Central High
School boy, who held the District of
Columbia Junior tennis championship.
Maryland was forced to rorego ten
mis- several years ago when the con-
struction of new university buildings
destroyed its courts. The old-liners
will be well equipped for the sport
in the spring, however SIX new
courts of the most modern type are
being built. backstops of steel sup
ports, well wired, will be constructed
and an excellent drainage system in
stalled. Tennis is to rank as major
sport at Maryland. and everything
possible will be done to aid the
sport.
The College Parkers will be kept
busy, once their competitive season is
under way. The eight matches will
be crowded into little more than six
weeks, and not one of the teams to
be encountered may be. considered
"breather" opponent Probably the
landers will be that with Swarthmore.
The Little Quakers always have
turned out teams that rank with the
best college aggregations of the
country.
The complete schedule follows:
April II. George Washington, Mt
WashinStOn; Is, Catholic Univer-
sity. at Washington; 30, Navy, Mt ,
Annapolis.
May o, GalIaudet, at Washington;
IA, Virginia, at College Park; 10.
SwarthmOre, at Swarthmore; II,
Catholic University. ut College
= Park; 80, Johns Hopkins, ut Bal
timore.
Loren MurchfsOn, Newark Athletic
Club star, who is to be seen in action
here at the annual Georgetown Uni
versity track and field carnival at
Convention Hall a week from Thurs
day night, holds practically every ma
tional sprint title. He is champion
ut sixty yards and 300 yards indoors
and 100 yards and 220 yards out
doors. He also holds all the metro
Ysolitan \. A u. district titles at the
same distances.
The Newark flyer and Charles Pad
dock of California are Americas main
hopes for the Olympiad in France
and a brilliant duel between them is
anticipated in the try-outs at Cam
bridge in June. Muir Gibson defeated
Paddock at the Olympic try-outs in
1890, but at the games in Antwerp,
after winning his heat, was left at
the post in a Semi-final because OF
his ignorance of foreign starting
methods.
Murehison has been credited with
breaking ten seconds in the CEN
fury dash infrequently, but when he
encounters other sprinters who have
bettered that time he generally gets
home in front. The Newark man
appears to be better competitive
than time" runner, for he consist
emily defeats those who are rated as
world beaterS on a time basis.
JOie Ray. Illinois Athletic Clubs
wonderful distance runner. is expect
ed to thrill the Georgetown meet
throns with his performance in
race over a route yet to be determin-
ed. There is no athlete in the track
game today more colorful than the
little Chicago speed merchant, and he
will have to take more beatings than
have come his way this season to
lose his value as an attraction at
sports carnivalS.
Perhaps Ray is slipping a trifie---he
I.as been d great runner for nearly
a decade--but it is difficult to be-
lieve it. The man who eight years in
a row has won the national mile
championship certainly revealed a
wealth of leg and lung power a few
weeks ago at Boston when he sue
oeeded in turning AIS 2-5 in winning
a mile run over a twelve-lap track
IF that is slipping, others of our best
known milers have almost skidde,
beyond recovery.
When Ray steps off in the George
town meet next week the field tina
opposes him, even though generousl.
handicapped, may have to develo
terrific speed to head off the Chi
cagoan. Ray is a great judge o
pace. has supreme confidence in n,
ability. and possesses highly devel
oped winning complex.
Two Washington boys, products @
Augustus Club, are likely to breal
into the GEORGETOWN lineup tonigh
In the basket ball game with Prince
ton, in Ryan Gymnasium. Hap Far
ley and Joe McNaney who have play
have been used by Coach O'Reilly al
these positions in recent Hilltop
drills and are accounted almost GER
tain starters against the Tigers
Others in the Georgetown lineup to-
night probably will be O'Keefe, cen-
ter, and Capt. Carney and Brogan,
guards. These three have been in
practically every game played by the
done unusually well.
Georgetown has arranged to care
for an unusual number of spectators
in Ryan Gymnasium tonight. Extra
seats have been installed, so that a
crowd Oh l,UVV may NC dCCoiiIuoOdICus
The contest is to get under way
promptly at $3.50 o'clock.
Princeton is to show its wares in
Catholic University's gymnasium at
BrookIand tomorrow night and may
meet with a rousing reception. The
Red and Black, which. has been
travelling at a speedy clip in college
basket ball this winter, is rather
confident of taking the measure of
the members of the intercollegiate
League. Coach RICE has his Brook
Ianders tuned to the minute and a
5 victory for them would not be sur
prising.
Catholic University's team last
night came in from Brookland to
play George Washington University,
but when it arrived at Central Coli
scum found no Hatchetite quiht at
hand. It appears the local rivals
had their schedules crossed. The
contest may be held the latter part
Of the season.
Catholic Unfverxity's varsity aggre-
ration does not go to Maryland for
IT'S return match until Friday night,
but the Brookland cubs will invade
College Park tomorrow to tackle. the
time this winter In their first match
the Maryland youngsters gave the
Brooklanders a sound drubbing, and
are likely to repeat that treatment.
One OF the best games of the season
Is expected in the Dominican Lyceum-
Manhattan game tonight at 8 o'clock
in st. Dominic's Hall. Mavencamp,
