morrow. The former comes
to Washington on its way
back to New Jersey from a trip
through Virginia, while the latter
is making it's annual visit for
games with local college mines.
Princeton meets Georgetown,
while Boston College meets Catho-
lie University tomorrow and re-
mains over to play Georgetown
on Friday.
Not so much is known of the Boston
College nine, but Princeton does not
seem to be as strong as usual. The
Tigers down at Williamsburg Monday
dropped two games to William and
Mary, but defeated Virginia yesterday.
Both the visiting teams will face good
mines when they 60 against the Blue
and Gray and Brooklanders. George
town ought TO be an unusually tough
opponent, as 1t should be anxious to
take it out" on somebody because Of
the game it dropped Monday to New
York U. to break its winning streak.
Catholic University, especially with
Lou Hurley on the slab, is anything but
easy.
The Observation-Disclosures will sport
at 2 O'Clock on the War College dia-
mond and the Catholic U.-Boston Col
lege at Brookland at $3.50.
University of Maryland is spending a
week OF real work in getting its new
Saturday with the Army game. The
construction of the stands and the dia-
mond proper virtually are complete
Sodding In front of the stands, putting
up the backstop, and building Of play
ers benches is about all that remains
It is thought that all construction work
win be completed by tomorrow night,
50 that Friday may be utilized to clean
up
There is no doubt that the Old Liners
will have the best college diamond In
the South. In fact, 1t Is hard to see
how any better diamond could be de-
sired.
Invitations have been extended to
the Secretary Of War, Patrick j. Hurley:
the Chief of Staff, Gen. Summerall,
and the Commanding General of the
guests of the university at the base ball
and lacrosse games with the West Point

Gallaudets base ball team journeys

o ball game with the Tank Corps.
Admiral Hubbard, for whom the new
boat house dedicated by the Naval
Academy last week is named, made one
Of the most attractive talks ever heard
It was the wind-up of his talk, in which
he very naively told of how his crew
lost to the Quaker City Club of Phila-
delphia back in 1870 in the first inter-
collegiate competition for any Navy
shell, that he caused a great deal of
quiet amusement.
After describing the race, telling of
the difficulties of finding opponents
against which to row, giving incidents
of the training of the crew, Admiral
Hubbard mentioned the result Of the
race in these words: $50, X.
And as for the race itself, and
whether or not we Won,,I may simply
say that not once did we see our OPP
ponents' backs"
Shells in those days were manned by
only four oarsrnen, the eight-oared shell
not having come into being as far as
the Naval Academy was concerned. And
1t is said Of Admiral Hubbard that the
crew he stroked was so good that they
rowed their four oars against another
boat equipped for six oars. And the
race YVES won by the four-oared boat.
Incidentally, Navy ran true to form
for most dedications in that it. lost its
big race, Columbia winning by a margin
Of few feet in the dedication feature.
Representative Stephen w. cambrill
Of Maryland, principal speaker at the
dedication of the Nays new boat
house, and more than incidentally the
man who engineered the bill through
Congress which provided the appropria-
ton for it, told in the course of his re-
marks one of the best stories, in illus
trating what might happen in a boat
race, that has ever been heard.
Representative Gambrill said that
shortly after he graduated from college
he took position in New York and had
as his employer man Of considerable
temper. It seemed, said Gambrill, that
at stated times this employer hauled
him on the carpet for q lecture, but that
on one occasion, when other words
seemed to fail and the temper seemed
Just little worse than usual, he got the
following brief but none of the less eff
fective lecture:
Bless you, Gambrill, you have only
one fault, you are either too blamed
slow when you ought to be fast or too
blamed fast when you ought to be slow"
Gambrill made brief, but effective
address, and his last admonition to
those gathered at the dedication was,
"And may this boat house help you in
the development Of young men who will
continue to maintain the splendid ira
dttions of the American Navy and
achieve for 1t new triumphs"
University Of Virginia seems to have
Q freshman shotputter Of the name OF
Bentley who ought to make a real mark
for himself before he gets through his
university career Against the Navy
plebes last week in a dual meet he
hurled the l6-pound ball A feet
inches. which is better than any other
man in the South can do right now,
either in freshman or varsity competi-
ton.
Bentley, if he improves at all, should
break the Southern record before ne
graduates The records now stand at
as feet 2 inches, made by Bill Beers OF
Maryland In a meet at Virginia some
years ago.
