Faber of the University of Maryland to-
day in speaking of his chances in some
Of the big games he is to play this
Spring. And there is no doubt that
Faber was sincere in his statement, not
withstanding he lost by graduation last
year more than half his team.

and Evans undoubtedly Is great player

We shall have q good twelve, better than
we had last season, largely on account

Marvland opens its lacrosse schedule
Saturday with Randolph Macon: There
is not much doubt that 1t will be good
enough to get by that game without
lot Of difnculty, and If it can pass the
western Maryland hurdle the following
Saturday, April IL, it will have couple
OF weeks to touch up the rough spots
before it hits its first big game, with
Army.
However, beginning with the Army
game, the Old Liners have plenty OF OPP
position to face, as they meet St Johns,
Pennsylvania, Hopkins and Navy.
Only q few members of the Oxford
Cambridge lacrosse team showed up for
q workout they had scheduled at Col
lege Park yesterday, and these did very
little in the way Of practice. The one
man of those that reported who seemed
to handle q ball real well was FARM
holt. FORMER Johns Hopkins player. 1t
really Is hard to understand II the Eng
lish team is In good shape. 1t landed
in this country last Friday, which
means that for the last 10 or II days
the players have done no practicing,
because the kind of workout they went
through yesterday at College Park
could hardly be called that.
The game with ST. Johns today IN
the Central Stadium should give a fair
line on the kind of twelve that repre-
sents the English schools and tell some
thing of the caliber Of competition the
other colleges In this country may ex-
pect. Right now It is impossible for
ANYBODY to tell. The game this after
noon begins at o'clock.
Vermont, after taking two defeats at
the hands of the Quantico Marines,
Saturday and yesterday, is here today
TO begin games with local colleges. The
Green Mountain men face GEORGETOWN
this afternoon In the only contest on q
local field, but unless they improve con-
eiderably over their showing against
the Marines are likely TO take another
whipping.
Catholic University won its game
from Dartmouth yesterday by TO /.
Lou Hurley pitching great ball for the
Brookland nine. Hurley was the CEN
tral figure Of the c. u. victory, as he al
lowed the New Hampshire team only
two safe cracks, and that team that
cannot hit cannot win is an old axiom
Of the diamond.
Dartmouth got its one run in the
third inning and c.. u. came right back
in its half TO make three, after which,
with the kind Of pitching dished up BY
Hurley, everything was over from o Q.
q. standpoint but the shouting.
The box score:
