on Gridiron and Basket
Ball Court.


come the fourth three-letter
man at Maryland. The others
are Julie Radice, Al Hesgy and Bill
Evans. also Washington boys.
Madigan has won his insignia In
basket ball and foot ball and now is
in a fair way to make the lacrosse
team. He may start Saturday against
Army at West Point. This is an i'm
portant game, but George has shown
enough class to warrant big-tlme
trial.
If he fails this season he is assured
of a varsity place in 1890. his senior
year AS a sophomore Madigan chose
base ball instead of lacrosse, but failed
to make good as a pitcher. He has
marked aptitude for lacrosse.
George also is shark in his studies
Books and Madigan are synonymous.
He carries them all the time, even when
going to dress for practice or a game.
Heagy and Evans earned their three
letters in foot ball. basket ball and la
crosse and Radice in base ball, foot ball
and basket ball.
Grover Wearshing of Temple Uni
versity- is the most polished outfielder
to appear here with a college team this
season, in the opinion of observers who
have been on the lookout for major
league prospects. 1t is said that Wear
shing has been signed by the st. Louis
Cardinals.
He looked the part of a big Lacquer
against Georgetown when the Blue and
Gray was smeared, to 2. The hits
that came his way he returned with
the smooth speed that marks your pol
iShed performer. He had only one OPP
portunity for putout and this couldn't
have been classed as a chance by most
collegians. Wearshing dove for Johnny
ScalZi's line drive and came up with 1t
after a side somersault.
That shot appeared to be a certain
three-bagger, but Wearshing turned it
into a double play. With quick re-
covery and zippy throw he doubled
nearly to third when the ball was
caught.
A healthy triple and ringing one
baser were Wearshing's contribution
3 TO the Temple attack. incidentally, this
husky youth is captain Of foot ball and
basket bali.
The game was called after the seventh
because of rain. Temple slowed away
victory in the fifth with four runs.
Packey White was relieved in this in
ming by Poole. Neither was effective
but Poole came back strong in the last
two frames Bob Cooper went the route
for Temple. Only one Hilltopper liked
his offerings. This was Dunn, who hit
a couple of two-baggers.
Johnny ScaIzi of Georgetown is at
tracing more and more attention.
There has been no game in which the
stocky inflelder hasn't made brilliant
play or two. He is particularly skilled
in going to his left for ground balls
and frequently cuts into the first base
mans territory. His whip is lightning
like and he is adept on the double-play
pivot. He is slugger too. Johnny,
however, is trifle wild on the throw.
Harry MiIburn, sophomore, has
been the leading pitcher at Maryland
this season. He was not counted upon
heavily at the outset, but has come
through when others failed. Milburn
went to Maryland from Central High.
MaryIands mile relay team, which
was nosed out by Fordham in the Penn
carnival, was an unusual combination
in that there we're only two regular
ouarter-milers in the quartet.
Urban Linzey, who ran f1rst, and
Bob Havell who ran second. are
440 men, but Walter Plumley, the
third runner, usually runs the half
or mile and, Bill Kinnamon, anchor,
who all but made up a deficiency OF

Eric Kjellstrom, the Georgetown
hurdler, is showing marked ability as
a sports writer. His articles in The
Hoya, dealing much with national and
international athletics, should increase
the circulation of that snappy little
publication. They ring with authority.
Kjellstrom, a native of Sweden, is
crack scholar. He was one of five honor
students who acquired distinction in the
reading of the last quarterly marks.
Arthur Hauver, who has started all
five of the Maryland freshmen's base
ball victories, let down Charlotte Hall
with one hit, single, and won an
8-to-0 decision. Bozey Berger, who
went to Maryland from Tech High,
made four hits, including double.
'MaryIand's varsity ball game with
Virginia Poly yesterday at Blacksburg
was prevented by rain. The Old Liners
are to play Washington and Lee today
and v. NJ. I. tomorrow, both in the
college town of Lexington, Va.
