0OLLEGES in this section
have about wound up their
4 programs of Spring foot
ball. One or two of the
schools plan to keep out two or
three men to work in their spe--
cialities, but as organized squad
units. the regular sessions OF
practice are pretty we'll finished.
GeoreetoWn may be an exception
for a short while, as 1t is doing
some things that are considered
indispensable if it is to have the
mechanical proficiency necessary
to success in the offenSe planned
for next Fall.
Navy wound up its schedule OF spring
practices last week with another scrlm-
mage against Temple University. Inc
NAVY probably has had greater sue
cess with its workouts this year tnan
ever before, as it has had some real
practice, and, in the opinion OF Coacn
Bill Ingram, attained valuable results.
GEORGETOWN also has got in some
good licks. 1t is not an easy thing to
train men, especially ends, to do the
things that are expected of linemen IN
the plays Mills will use, and the only
way they can be taught is through
long hours of tedious practice in Wnlch
they do over and over the same stunts
MARYLAND also has given more atten-
ton to Spring practice than usual, al
though its workouts have not peen as
strenuous nor as long as some OF tne
other schools. Washington ana Lee,
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the
schools farther south finished their
workouts some time ago. George wash
ington had its men out only snort
time.
No inconsiderable part of the value
of Spring foot ball practice comes from
what coaches learn, as well as Wnat
is picked up by the players. spring
practice gives an excellent emporium
IT, to learn something OF what may De
expected of members Of the freshman
squad and is the time When the qusl-
ifcations of players for positions Tor
the following Fall may be determined.
And, as has been said many times,
Spring foot ball, if it does not take
men away from other varsity sports,
cannot be objected to by anybody.
Two college ball games are scheduled
today. One is between Mount st. Mary's
and Catholic University. The former
was defeated by Georgetown here earlier
in the year. The other contest in which
a local school plays is that between
Maryland and Washington and Lee at
Lexington.
Georgetown's nine leaves here tonight
10 visit Princeton, where for the second
time this season it meets the Tiger nine.
The Blue and Gray won from the Tigers
when they were here nearly month
ago and should turn the same trick to-
morrow. Maryland winds up its trip
tomorrow by playing Virginia Military
Institute.
Johnny Bozek got three hits out Of as
many trips to the plate to lead his team
at bat in its 6-to-3 victory over Temple
University yesterday on the War College
grounds. The tall right fielder seemed
able to lambast anything the visiting
hurlers dished up. Scalzi again per-
formed brilliantly at second, while
Mooney and Mccarthy hit for home
runs. Baumann, at short for George
town, turned in a fine performance both
ut bat and In the field. Although sub
bing for Dunn, who is on the injured
list, Bannerman performed with all the
excellence of regular. So much so, in
fact. that II he keeps it up, Dunn will
have a hard time winning back his job
II he gets back in good physical condi-
ton. The box score:
