rY ". II. HOTEL

-Four Lacrosse teams, the best. in the
land, had the twin-bill olympic play
of to be staged of the Central High
School Stadium tomorrow afternoon
unpermost in their minds today.
Maryland and Hopkins were tuning
uo on their home fields, Navy came
ovcr TO get familiar with the scene of
battle with q workout this morning
while the Army players we're en- route
To Washington, being due here late this
afternoon.
Maryland end Navy will figure In the
curtain raiser at ? o'clock with Hop
kins and Army being slated to take the
field hours later. AS the weather man
ssys II win be fair tomorrow all of
the 1000 seats available for the con-
tests are almost certain TO be occupied
when the first whistle blows.
Navy and Hopkins Fsvorites.
Navy and Hopkins continued TO rule
fsvorites. with the Baltimoreans much
more pronounced choices over the
Cadets than the MiddieS are over the
Old Liners. In fact. the Annapolitans
edge over the Old Liners was regarded
as only slight Hopkins has more
experienced aggregation than Army;
Navy has greater reserve strength than
Maryland.
Charles ornstein. chairman of the
Olympic committee. said this morning
that arrangements had been completed
To handle the affair in businessllke
manner. Mai. William HeSse, supcTin-
tendent of police, has promised that he
will provide all the men necessary TO
see that things go along smoothly. and
as only as many tickets as there are
seats viii be sold there should be no
congestion.
Tickets will remain on sale at
Epalding's until II o'clock tomorrow
morning, and then they will be taken TO
the Central Stadium. where the gates
will be opened at 1890. II is possible
that band may be on hand, but this
was not definitely settled this morning
May Play Final Here.
There is strong probability that the
final game on June % also may be
played here. That is practically assured
IL Hopkins wins from Army as neither
Maryland nor Navy would play the Blue
Jays on their home field and the Olym-
pic committee has decided that 1t will
not stage another contest in the Baiti
more Stadium.
Should Army and Navy both win.
washington still would be logical place
4nr the contest. although IN that event
nlere has been some talk Of taking the
contest TO either Philadelphia or New
York. However, as much depends upon
how the games here tomorrow are sup
ported and handled as anything else
Eavy brought over its own goals in
order 70 practice this morning and they
will DC uSed in the contest tomorrow.
However. this seems nothing. unless
they are luck charms. as ali are of
regulation aiZe and material Mary
lends goals were to have been used.
but as they would not have been put
ir place In time for the Middies to
WORKOUT tlie shift was made To Nays
equipment, as there was no sense in !
making a change once the posts we're j
planted
