3 and with its annual open interSchol-
astic track and field games and closed
events tor county high schools OF Mary
land held in perfect setting under con-
dltions that admitted of not the least
complaint. the University of Maryland
yesterday went through its annual field
day with nothing more left TO be de-
sired.
Greatest interest centered in the
lacrosse contest. and the victory in one
of the greatest exhibitions OF the
Indian game ever staged found express
ton in the hilarious shouts OF more
than thousand students and the salts
fed countenances Of as many more
alumni.
Competition Is Keen.
And no better competitions have ever
been seen than in the two classes Of
events held in the annual interscho-
laStic meet, staged concurrently with its
own intercollegiate events. Just how
well fought we're the open interscho-
laStics for high honors is shown by the
fact that the winner scored only 20
points and the team that finished sixth.
Technical High. got 10.
While Episcopal was victor II was
BY the smallest of margins, as Dewitt
Prep finished second with l9 points.
After Dewitt came three North Carolina
schools. Charlotte High with Is. Green's
boro High with IS and Wilmington High
with IL
In the closed events for county
schools of Maryland. Frederick was win
ner. with Towson only three points
behind.
Is a Real Thriller.
But it was in the lacrosse game that
MaryIanders and the public generally
were most closely interested. And from
the first two minutes of the game 1t
was evident that if the pace could be
held by the Old Liners and Navy one
of the greatest contests in the history
of the sport would be seen. And that
pace was held. No other twelves ever
went through a dizzier so minutes of
concentrated effort From one end of
the field TO the other. from side to side,
the play swung. sometimes so fast that
il could not be followed accurately. and
sometimes with the bali lost completely
from sight of spectators in crashing
groups OF struggling players. Always

in wild acclaim.
It seemed strange in the game that
goals seemed TO come together. LinkouS
shot Marylsnds first score early IN the
second half but the Old Liners had
short time in which to enjoy their lead.
as it was less than minute after when
Spring evened up for Navy by brilliant
bi, OF individual running almost the
length OF the field.
Then Davidson threw another goal for
MARYLAND. and IL held the : TO lead
for long time. with Navy battling TO
get at the goal for another marker. And
with only 10 minutes left TO play and
some OF the stands were yelling for
MARYLAND to freeze the ball, Ewes OF
Navy got the ball on pass from be-

But the ball hardly was put In play

That ball went by the Navy goal keep
er so fast that time was not even given
to make an attempt TO stop 1t. Only
minutes were left 10 play and there was
no more let-up in that , minutes than
in the previous 5S. and even In the last
so seconds. Navy got one rather poor
try for goal.
Probably the one reason for Mary
lands victory lies in the fact that its
team was fighting every second II was
on the field, and even when It's margin
seemed all too slender. and only sec
onds left TO play, II still was Wiling 70
