OCAL colleges this afternoon
aocono in q diversity Of

OCAL colleges this afternoon
engage in a diversity OF
competition that comprises
about everything in the way
of Spring sports except rowing.
The majority of the contests are
on foreign fields, which, however,
from the viewpoint of partisan
interest, does not lessen to any
appreciable extent their attrac-
tiveness. All local schools are
taking part in some KIND OF an
event with the exception OF George
Washington.
Catholic University has the biggest
day. Its base ball team is at Manhat-
tan College at Brooklyn, N. Y, its track
squad engages in dual meet with
Gallaudet at Brookland, its tennis team
entertains the University of Baltimore,
while at Brookland 1t is holding Its
annual Eastern Catholic High School
championship track and field meet. The
high school meet is to be run of IN
conjunction with the dual affair with
Gallaudet, and it probably is IN this
that the Cardinals center their greatest
interest.
The c. u nine has been playing in
and out ball. In some games its per-
formances have been brilliant, in others
worse than mediocre. Just what 1t
may accomplish against Manhattan de-
pends entirely on whether or not 1t
has one of its good days. The G. U.
track team has had hard time, owing
to scarcity of material, but hopes 20
feature its afternoon of track and helo
sports for the Catholic Pigh Schools by
defeating Gallaudet. The Brooklanders
expect to win their tennis match with
Baltimore U.
A big entry list has not been drawn
for the high school meet because there
are not a great many Catholic high
schools from which to draw. but it is
expected that remarkably good perform
anceS will more than make up for lack
of numbers. Some of the young athletes
entered are said to be among the best
in the East.
Maryland has only one contest on its
home field, that being Gual track meet
with william and Mary. The Old Liners
have yet to win dual meet this Spring,
but at that have performed Just about
as we'll as any of their squads of previ-
Gus years. They simply have been
against better and more experienced
men. While the Maryland varsity track
men are at home, the freshman track
squad will be competing with Navy
plebes at Annapolis.
The Maryland varsity and freshman
lacrosse teams play on foreign fields.
The varsity twelve goes to Philadelphia
to meet Pennsylvania and the freshman
to Annapolis to try conclusions with
the Navy plebes. The ball team is
idle.
Georgetown teams are to be engaged
In only one sport, the golf team being
ct Harvard.
Little is known here of John Van
Lew, just named as foot ball coach at
North Carolina State College, except
that he formerly coached at Knox Col
lege out in Illinois. 1t had been ex-
pected by many of those in close touch
with the situation that Slaughter, for
mer Michigan tackle, coaching the line,
would be named head coach.
Georgetown's base ball team appar-
emily had too much banqueting Thurs
day night. Yesterday it went out and
played the kind of ball 1t has not been
playing previously. While nothing
should be detracted from the exhibition
put up by Gettysburg, the Blue and
Gray hardly did itself justice. OF
course, it cannot be expected that any
ball team, no matter how good, will go
on winning in all its games, but when
one as strong as Georgetown. and with
as good a record as Georgetown has
made, falls by such lopsided score as
8 to at the hands of Gettysburg, the
result is disappointing.
In other words, Georgetown has too
good a ball team to get whipped by
Gettysburg by any such margin. How
ever, all credit to the battlefield play
ers, as they were able to accomplish
what only two teams have been able to
do this season, prior to yesterday.
The score:
