! Al, made by Ogden. Jim Carney was
only one point behind Ogden.
Provided his catcherS hold up. Coach
Shlpley has just about made up his
mind concerning the probable make
up OF his Maryland nine. He has al
most decided TO give the third outfield
berth to Het9el. big chap. who was
tried ont at first base al the beginning
OF practice, LeschinSky and keSsler
having been sure of the other two
places almost since the first day they
I put on suits. The infield probably will
be composed Of Wilson at third. Hale

man at first. Higgins Bromley and
McGann arc doing the catching.
Coach McAulife Of the Catholic
University foot bali squad is making
strenuous efforts this Spring to work
out tbs formations and plays he will
uSe next Fall. The Brooklanders are
going into Spring practive much more
intensely than they did last year and
expect To get good deal more out OF
IL McAuliEfe not only is trying to
work out his plays, but also expects TO
do a lot toward rebuilding his line and
finding somebody TO replace Foley in
the backfields
just how difficult it is going to be to
replace Foley and Harvey behind the
line Is not in any way better shown than
by an incident that came to light re-
Gently In connection with the George
washington game last Fall. Catholic
University got its winning touchdown
on play that was fixed up on the field
by these two men. George Washington
was shifted somewhat out of position
10 stop the regular plays on which il
had secuted the BrooklanderS.
Perceivtng this. the Catholic Univer-
sit players decided TO send q man to
that weakened territory and throw to
that man pass. This was carried out
perfectly. and the fact that the men be-
hind the c. y. line were sharp enough
70 see and take advantages of a weak
ness that was not covered in their reg
ulaT plays is indication of their value
70 their team. Men OF that caliher are
not found every day. and if McAuliffe
can md somebody To take their places
he would be lucky. indeed
Maryland viii be the first of local col
leges TO send its track squad into action
IN regular competition. as ii has meet
scheduled at College Park with Virginia
Military Institute a week from next sat
urday. The Old Line squad Is COM
ing along and indications are 1t will be
about the StTonges. outfit that has ever
worn Maryland colors.
In only two events will IL fail to meas
ure up 70 fairly high standard Its
Improvement in some events over last
year is especially noticeable. the shot
put, for instance. In the shot in 1927
there was only one man who could get
the brass sphere as far as 30 feet ana
tn2t one only once in a while This
Spring the team will have three men
who IN all probability viii be able 10
clear that distance The discus is an,
other form Of competition in which the
squad was weak last season. but in
which it should be strong in meets this
Spring. The two events in which no
outstanding men seem To be available
are the pol vault and high Jump.
