Matthews was a capable all-around

Norton were GeOrgetown's other good
men.
College base ball has not attained
any high degree Of public interest
here. mainly because Of the big league
clubs which detract from 1t almost
entirely except for artisan spirit.
And even that succumbed at times to
the professional lure and students
went to watch big league contests
rather than their own team play an
other college.

All I'm all. local colleges have nothing

and much OF which they may well

veloped There was no sport in which
one or more of the local colleges did
not turn out teams that compared
we'll with the best.
