his best. as he did SO 1-5 in running

Ties Record of Coach.
Matthews time in the 100-yard ties
the mark made by Curly BYRD, now
athletic director of the University ana
who also coaches the trackmen, which
has stood alone since 1908. one watch
timed him in 9 40 seconds.
Matthews also was to have run in
the 22O-yard which he has Travelled

He first took up his duties in the
outfield, but after grabbing one ny

put the K. AS back in the running

But Gump was still on the job, and
after the Kappa Alphas, who needed
five tallies to win. had put two over

other than Andy Gump stepped TO the
plate and swung his wicked willow.
All he did was to smash out a two
bagger that sent tin the tying runs and
a little later flashed across the plate
with marker that won the game.
Gump's activities are not confined
to track and base bail. He showed "A
lot of ability with the Freshman foot

have made the yearling basket ball
team had he not been called upon for
indoor track, and it's dollars to dough

he had time to try.
Work Is Play to Him.
Having come from a section where
they look upon work as play, Gump
retains the from daylight t o dark
habits He has to be up early, as he
has a job in the dining hall that calls
for his presence for about an hour
for three periods each day. In be-
tween his work and his pastimes-and
Gump loves athletics better than a
dog likes a nice juicy bone-he finds
plenty of time to be a good student.
Matthews. who is not yet 10 years of
age. is well built chap, being about
six feet tall and tipping the scales at
more than 10 pounds. His athletic
activities before he came OF Maryland
were limited to a little high jumping.
Gump did not hog all the honors in
the meet yesterday, which the Varsity

Pugh cleared the 120 high barriers in
