three who may be members of othel
varsity squads, to report next Monday
for their first taste of Spring training
The practice will be continued until tn,
weather gets too warm for the kind Of
workouts Little expects to have.
. Little will not take charge Of tht
squad for a week or so after it reports
/, He has told John DaGrossa, line coach
that the line and end candidates will
be placed under his care for a short
! period and all the backs are to bs
given over to backfield coaches McCabs
4, and Murray. Little'S assistants of last
, Fall plan TO give their proteges a good
deal of conditioning work, aiming to get
?, them in shape for the rough practice
that is certain as soon as Little takes
charge. "..
I. For be it known that Lou Little is
one coach who believes In giving his
) men the same kind Of practice in the
: Spring they get in the Fall. 1t is
Titles opinion that foot ball practice
in the Spring unless it employs all the
rough. hard drill of the Autumn work.
outs is worse than useless. And each
!, Spring the Blue and Gray players get
. down the real business.
None Of the other colleges in this
section has made any announcement
of Spring practice, but several are like
;.ly to have their squads out as soon as
+, the ground gets in shape. Foot ball
. practice is exceedingly difficult as long
! as the ground freezes at night and
Z thaws during the day. And just as diff
ficult when 1t stays frozen throughout
the day. Many of the colleges in the
far South are having their workouts
i. now and will continue them until late
In March and possibly until April. Sew

January to the middle of March.
DuqueSne University comes here to-
day for two basket ball games. Tonight
It meets American University and to-
morrow faces Catholic u. Not much
Is known of the strength of the visitors
Georgetown's foot ball squad will be
followed within a few days by its dia-
mond candidates. It was said this morn
ing on the Hilltop that some OF the
battery1nen would be got out next
week, possibly the latter part of this
week, for indoor tossing. No decision
has yet been reached as to who is TO
coach the nine, but it is said that one
of the men now on the staff OF coaches
will be used in that capacity and that
no special coach will be brought in.
Georgetown's team had a black Sat-
urdav last week. The Blue and Gray
relay team finished third in its race in
New York with Boston College and Holy
Cross, the basket ball team was beaten
by New York University in an over
time game, and the boxing squad took
trimming at the hands OF the Navy.
The relay team lost because Whelan
fell down, and when a man falls IN q
race with two such fast teams as Holy
Cross and Boston College then that
race is gone. The Blue and Gray baS-
keters expected to beat New York Uni
yersity. but were noSed out In tough
game. The boxing squad simply was no
match for the Naval Academy men ana
did not win a bout. The defeat in box
ing was not in the least disappointing,
but the Blue and Gray did not feel very
much elated over results In basket pail
and track, as it thought it had better
than an even chance to win IN potn
sports.
Maryland's. relay team finished Sec
ond to Harvard IN race with Harvard
and Pennsylvania Saturday night IN
New York. That really was better than
the Old Liners thought they might do,
as their team this year is made up en-.

could get in races in the MillroSe games.
Washington and Lee was second to yale
in a mile race, while Virginia ran third
to Dartmouth and Brown. Washington
and Lee evidently is not AS fast as II
expected to be, as it was defeated In
lust a little worse time than 3 minutes
80 seconds.
North Carolina gave Princeton real
f,H Ioc losing
cut by one point in an overtime contest.
The Tarheels were leading with only
seconds to play, and just before the
whistle blew ending the game goal
was shot by Princeton which tied the
count and forced the extra period.
For team that was regarded al
Chapel Hill as mediocre, and which
while here seemed the weakest five that
Carolina had had in years, the Tar
heels have not done anything disgrace
full on their trip. They won from Vlr-
ginia and Maryland and came within
about five seconds OF time OF beating
Princeton and then finally lost only by
one point.
