Georgetown expects to have bril-
liant season on the outdoor track,
just as it did on the boards during
the Winter. Maryland had good
relay team IN the indoor meets and
made a fair showing in tho open
eventa. However. several of the men
who did, the best work in the open
competitions are freshmen and will
not be eligible for the college meets
this Spring. 1t seems that the Hill
toppers stand, for the first time in
their history. an excellent chance to
capture the intercollegiate champion
ships outdoors, and q fine showing for
them in the other meets is almost
surety.
Not only does this seem to be
Georgetown's year on the track. but,
If Coach John OReilly's hopes are
we'll founded, # also is going to be
q banner year in base ball. The Blue
and Gray has back on the diamond

O'Reilly did not hesitate to say def-
niteIy that he %ould be very disap-
pointed if the Georgetown team this
Spring fails TO make an excellent rec
ord, as, unless sometRfng unforeseen
happened, the team would De exeep-
tionally good.
- Two of the varsity pitchers Of a year
ago are back and so are both catchers-
Brennan and McCarty are again avaiia-
BILE for mound duty, while Sukefortn ana
AIurtaugh are the old backstops. In ad-
dition to the veteran pitchers U Kelly
has working out three new men ne ex-
poets to come through-BragS, Burch
and Fogarty.
Murphy, Zega and Graham are work.
ing out at first base. So far Murphy has
the call. Both the other men, especially
Zega, are fine fieIders, but Murphy not
only can field the position, but is bet
ter hitter than either of the other men
contending for the job.
SO far as second. third and short are
concerned, there is not much doubt that
they will be he'd down by he same men
who did so we'll year ago in the posi-
ions. Ryan at second, quinn at thifd
and Jran at short are fixtures. -Uran
il might be mentioned, is captain. Dono-
van anu tldNln Also WI hlh5 ous
around second and Duncan at short.
Duncan is former member of the
Naval Academy squad. but never made
the team, according to report
Mudd, who played first a year ago
and has been shifted to outf1eld, and
Albert, last years star center fielder,
seem to be certain of two of the three
garden berths. The third job will go to
O'NeiI, Mclean or O'Leary. Right now
n he much differ
ence in their performances, and II Is a
toss-up as to who the Blue and Gray
coach will start in the opening game,
which is to be played with Temple
March 26.
Catholic University will miss the
services of three exceptionally good
men when ii lines up for its first
game. Coach Charley Moran has lost
seven from his 1924 team. but of
these it seems that he should have
difficulty replacing only three. De
Nault, Breslin and Cummings. the
first mentioned at shortstop and the
last two in the outfeld, did most of
the hitting for the Brooklanders in
the 1924 games, and so far no trio
who match up anywhere near them in
batting ability have been developed.
May, best pitcher of last years out
fit also is missing, but Moran has
several men from whom to select a
couple of hurlers.
Right now the four men who seem
to be showing UP best are Clark,
Devon. Bonomo and Sheffield. Bono
mo is rather small, but actually seems
to be the best bet. Mcmahon and
DuFour are to do the catching.
\ sMoran's main trouble seems te be
that he got but one player from
isst years freshman team. That one
is Keale. and he seems to be so good
at first base that no other candidate
has even a remote chance of beating
him out Adams appears to have a
strangle hold on shortstop, but a
battle is going on for second and
third. Garvin and kenney are fight
ing it out for the former job and Ig-
mace and Reiter for the latter.
Seven men are working for the
oItfeld positions. Bailey. Mitchell.
Stanley. Moore, James Doyle and
John Doyle and Sartain are those
from whom Moran will have to select
his three gardeners.
University of Maryland may in
times past have had some better ball
players than are out on it's squad
now, but 1t certainly never before
had as many good men. Coach Burton
Shipley is having a time Of it to de-
termine what is the best combination
he can use. Stevens and Troxell, the
former from the freshman nine and
the latter varsity first sacker a year
ago, are both excellent players. and
what to do with both is one of Ship
ley's problems. Yesterday ShifSey
had Murray, 1924 freshman third
baSeman, working at the hot corner.
