VISIT OF BRITISH
TWELVE FEATURES
Locals Teams Also to Take
Part in a Number of
Attractive Games.
BY H. C. BYRD.

q PRING sports in the colleges
really get under way this
week. Base ball, track and
lacrosse generally begin to
take their place, superseding the
Winter Of indoor competition.
Georgetown continues its base
ball schedule begun last week,
Catholic University and Gallaudet
get into action in the same sport,
while the University of Maryland
opens in three, base ball, track
and lacrosse. A game, or games,
IN one sport or another is sched-
uled every day.
One of the most interesting events
Of the week is likely to be the Oxford
Cambridge visit for a lacrosse game
with st. Johns College of Annapolis.
The game will be played in the Central
High School Stadium Tuesday after
noon at 4 o'clock 1t is known that
st. Johns has good twelve. but just
what kind Of team is to represent the
English schools is only matter Of con-
lecture. The last team oxford and
Cambridge sent over here was weak.
and some of the American colleges in
meeting 1t got very little real connpe-
tition
However, the British aggregation,
which contains eight Americans. is said
to be much stronger and more aggres-
sive than the last Oxford Cambridge
(team to invade.
Tomorrow afternoon Dartmouth plays
Catholic University and Drexel Insti-
tute meets Georgetown in base ball.
Something of Dartmouths strength is
gagged on its showing yesterday against
Georgetown, while Drexel was good
enough to defeat the Marines at Guam
tico. Both Georgetown and Catholic
University may have their hands full, !
especially the latter, as it will be max
ing its first appearance in official COM
petition.
Besides the oxford Cambridge la
crosse game with St. Johns on Tues
day, Vermont University comes here to |
face Georgetown. This is to be YER |
Imont's first game with any local college |
this year, and it is sure to labor under |
quite q disadvantage in competition !
with a Blue and Gray team that has
played half a dozen games.
Only one game Is scheduled Wednes- |
day and one Thursday. Catholic Uni |
versity is to entertain Villanova in base |
ball, while Vermont remains over to |
meet Gallaudet. This will be Gallau- |
diets first effort under fire and it Is |
likely to have difficulties.
Vermont plays its third game here, this |
time with Catholic University as its OPP |
ponert. Cornell is to be here for a |
game with Georgetown, while Gallaudet |
goes to Towson to face the Maryland |
State Normal School.
University Of Maryland opens its |
Spring schedules Saturday, with three |
of its teams in competition, all at Col |
lege Park. The track squad meets |
washington and Lee at 2 o'clock, the |
base ball nine faces Cornell at the same |
hour and the lacrosse twelve ertertains |
Randolph Macon at 4 o'clock.
With Spring sports schedules getting
under way so extensively, 1t is assumed
In this, majority Of cases that teams to
represent local colleges will measure up
well In the kind of competition they are
to face. At least, that assumption
seems to be reasonable, based as 1t Is on
optimistic opinions expressed at various
times concerning the progress Of the
several squads.
Georgetown, of course, already has
shown enough In base ball to indicate
that it should have good year, win
ming year. It Is expected also that
Georgetown's track team will be among
the top-notch squads Of the East.
Catholic University Is looking for a
much improved team in base ball and
hoping for an improved one in track.
Gallaudet thinks its base ball team
should more than hold its own, while
Maryland Is optimistic, especially for
base ball and track, and very hopeful
for lacrosse.
Two University of Maryland squads
INDUCED in scrimmage yesterday af-
ternoon. The lacrosse IL worked out
against the Woodlawn A. G. team Of
Baltimore, while the Spring foot ball
squad had a session with team from
Cuantico. The workouts were valuable
from every point of view.
The Marylanders had it rather easy
IN lacrosse, running up a dozen or so
points before they called it an after
noon.
The foot bail scrimn1age resulted in
showing up some weak spots IN some
Of the candidates for next years team
that otherwise might never have been
found until too late to correct them.
This chap Oliver at Catholic Uni
versity, although rather small, bids fair
to make name for himself before he
finishes that will be second to only
few c. U. athletes. He was q star In
foot ball, rated by Coach Jack McAuliffe
gamers he saw all year, played excep-
tionally well on the basket ball team,
and now Is putting up a great fight for
q regular Job on the diamond Nc
Auliffe really credits oliver as having
been the greatest factor in the remark
able showing c. U. made against VII
1anova In foot ball.
