Spring training at George
town and Catholic University Is in full
lest today, with the players a-sizzle
-Esh Autumn pep.
Maud Crum, the George Washington
coach, is hopeful OF. continuance Of
the wtntry snap to stir the foot ball
spirit in q backward lot Of players.
Few have answered the Spring call.
Curry Byrd, at Maryland, has not had
time to pay much attention to foot ball.
In the meantime many Of the Terrapin
gridders are occupying themselves with
lacrosse and base ball,
Bucky Miller, who may get chance
to fill Snyders grid shoes, got under
l<=y in base ball the other day without
preliminary training. His debut was
quite a sensation under the circum-
stances. He hit home run and three
singles.
Crum, who has been undecided
whether to remain at George Washing
ton, has every reason to feel discour-
aged. His team had q poor season in
90 and some of its best men are about
to be graduated. They include LOPEZ
man, Barrow, Sanders, Goldman and
Allshouse.
Material has never been abundant at
George Washington, and Crum Is on
the lookout now for any students who
foot ball players. Among prospects
with experience are Billisolly, Adams,
Sherry, Boyle, Griggs, Parks. Gates,
Swartout and Goldman.
Crum may find some Solace In the
fact that the Colonials' schedule for
1929 Is not as stiff as last years.
Harvard's ball team, frozen out Of a
game with Georgetown yesterday, was
scheduled to play Catholic University
today at Brookland.
North Carolina Is visiting Maryland
The Tar Heels hold one decision over
the TerrapinS.
Saturdays of the college Spring season.
No major ball game Is scheduled here.
Richmond University will meet Catholic
y. at tennis.
Maryland supporters haven't given up
hope for a championship victory in the
Tristate League of the Southern Con-
ference, although the Terrapins have
lost two games and won only one. The
chance is at hand to even matters with
North Carolina, which defeated Mary
land, to /. at Chapel Hill. North Caro-
line State won from the Terrapins by
the skimpiest margin.
1t is general opinion that Coach
Burton Shipley will have his team click
ing before long and fulfilling its pre-
season promise.
George Washington Is making a late
start IN base ball. Its opening game
was scheduled for today with the United
Typewriter team, on diamond No. of
the Monument Lot. Babe Clapper was
to pitch for the Colonials, with Young
catching. It is the first Of a series Of
three games.
Tomorrow the Typists will meet CAL
laudet on the st. Adams field at 8
O'Clock.
Bucky O'NeiL, the Georgetown coach,
says the Hilltoppers, who have won only
two games out of six, are not as bad
as the record indicates. "Our club has
played some darned good ball." observes
Bucky, "but it hasn't been able to hold
UP through nine innings"
MaryIand's lacrosse team, which has
won two lop-sided victories. looks for
more Oh q Jest VIII OOTHeu COHlOTIOW
at Ithaca than 1t received from New
York University and Randolph Macon.
These were set-ups for the institution
that tied last year for the national
championship.
The Maryland stickmen, who leave
this eveplng for Ithaca, also will play
Hobart, another tough team, at Geneva,
N. T.. on Monday.
The Old Liners doubtless will start
the same twelve men who began the
game against Randolph Macon on
Wednesday.
