MEETS
PRICED FOE

Having defeated Stevens, to 5,
to gain their sixth victory in nine
games, the Maryland lacrossemen
now are on edge for the big battle
with Hopkins that will be staged
at Homewood Field in Baltimore to-
morrow.
While Hopkins, unbeaten this
year. and having conquered Army
and Navy, two teams that defeated
Maryland, will be the big favorite,
the Old Line twelve, which has been
coming along in good style after
overcoming many obstacles, feels
sure it will give the Blue Jays an
interesting afternoon.
III the Maryland defense, which
has been improving, can have a
good day, hopes of victory may
be entertained, fer Hopkins at
tack, il is figured, will not be
any better, If as good, as the
Old Liners.
Having been without the services
Of Prof. Truitt, regular coach, until
the season was well underway; hav.
ing lost Street, regular goal keeper
for the first seven games; having
lost Muzzey, second defense, for the
season after a third Of the Navy
game had been played, and being
without Cleveland, cover point, in
several contests and probably with
out him for the Hopkins game,
Maryland has faced many problems
this season. That the team has stood
up under them has proved the real
mettle of the players.

AS the Yankees, with a seven
game winning streak, continue to
rip the Western teams to shreds,
the big gun in their attack is not
Babe Ruth, but Lou Gehrig. The
husky first baseman clouted his
ninth home run Of the season
against Cleveland yesterday, tying
Ruth, and also boosted his batting
average to .425, the highest per-
centage for regulars in either
league.
Gehrig also has made more hits
and scored more runs than any
player in either league. No other
American League slugger has hit
more doubles or triples. Pitchers
who formerly passed Ruth to get
at Gehrig are now pitching to the
Babe and handing out free trans
portation to the former Columbia
star, and Col. Jake Rupert, owner
of the Yanks, has horrid visions of
being saddled with another $4,000
