Evening star., 1925-05-01


The contests are so arranged that
one will follow almost Immediately
after another. The dual track and
field games between Hopkins and
Maryland, the closed events for county
high schools Of Maryland and the
apen interscholastic games are, to be
run off as one meet, or, more accu-
rately speaking, concurrently.
Looking for Revenge.
1t is interesting to note that Mary
land last year met, all four of the
teams ii faces tomorrow, and that 1t
was defeated by three of them. A
year ago Maryland beat West Virginia
in base ball by to 7, but lost to
Lehigh at lacrosse by to 8, and drop
ped the tennis match to Catholic Uni
versity and the dual meet with Hop
kins. It is felt that Maryland will
meet all the teams it faces tomorrow
ON a more even basis than in 1924.
The lacrosse game will be the first
United States lacrosse league game
that Maryland has played at home
this season. The Old Line twelve has
come through in it's last two games,
and last Saturday in its opening
league game clash at Swarthmore won
by 10 to l. Lehigh, which last week
lost to Hopkins, to 8, is credited by
the Baltimoreans with having the best
twelve that has ever worn It's colors.
Il is expected that the lacrosse game
will be the feature OF the contests in
which Maryland teams are to partici-
pate. In track and field athletics
Maryland has never won from Hop
kins and. of course. is especially
anxious to do so. 1t seems to have
something less than an even chance
to win.
While Maryland naturally is con-
cerned about the showing Of its teams,
il really is more anxious to make sue
cessfui it's resumption OF the inter
scholastic track and field games it
held annually before the war. AS far
as it is concerned, the university has
left no stone unturned in its efforts
to make the meet attractive for the
high and prep schools of the South
atlantic section, and the response
from the schools actually has been
much better than was expected.
Thirty-two Schools Listed.
-Thirty-two schools have squads en-
tered, which represents about the
greatest number Of institutions that
have ever taken part in a track and
field meet around here. The farthest
South school to be in competition Is
the Central High School of Charlotte,
". c.. which two weeks ago won the
field meet for the State of North Caro-
lima The Charlotte school also won
the State championship year ago.
Ali the Washington high schools
have men entered, three .Sf~then Org
squads. Eastern has 80 men in the
meet and Central and Tech each has
more than 20. In all nearly 300 ath- /
letes will vie with one another for
the best series of prizes, that have
ever been given in. a scholastic meet.
Prizes for four places are being given.
in each event, with solid gold 15-Jewel
watches for first places and gold
medals for second places, silver medals
for third and bronze for fourth.
Schools that finish first and second In
the point scoring in the open inter-
scholastics will receive trophies, the
trophy for first place being a large sill
yer cup and the one for second place
being a slightly smaller cup. The
team trophy for the county, high
schools will be a silver cup, with
gold watch to the boy>who scores the
most points. - s5
