the Southern Conference, made
up Of North Carolina, North
Carolina State, Virginia Poly
tech,.x. Institute, Virginia Military In
stitute, washington and Lee, Virginia
and MARYLAND will be continued after
next year as a permanent organization
Or diabartlcd.
At a recent meeting of representatives
nj these colleges and universities. the
learI,e idea was luke warm in the mnuS
Of two. but others were so strong ior
Il that the decision was reached 10 give
il further trial. SO the scneoule LOT
1e3f was made out on a league oasis
with the understanding that II sentl-
rnent for the league is suTnclentiy oe
yeloped the organization VIII pS COIL
tip,1ed. more or less permanently, ouV
II there is not a decided tendency IN
favor of the league it will be disoanoeo
without further ado.
Tlois league, an offspring Of the mlno
of nick smith of Washington ana Lee
University, was stagted two years ago,
and has undoubtedly made Sone
progress Base ball in the colIeges
seems to have perked up, put IN soI,,e
quarters it is claimed tns' E H,;tb this
has had nothing to 90 Win ItliS
advancement. Others feel that the
league is the reason for increased m
tersst in the diamond sport. Al any
rate all the representatives at tle
meeting decided that 1t was worth
further trial of year, at least:
Virginia Polytechnic Institute seel me
IN have the best chance to capture tns
championship this year In iacI: ~
have a clear title, but if it loses to vlT-
oinia. and Virginia Military Institute
beats MARYLAND tomorrow, then Virginia
Military Institute will be the nag VIII
It seemed at the beginning OF the
wear as If v. M. I. was going 10 Wln'
as its team went along winning games
with great regularity. However, v: r. !;
came along and took 16-innlng l-to-o
game from the Cadets, ana tnat 1usC
ABOUT pu. v. P. l. in its very favorable
position, and later beat the Cadets. II
10 /. incidentally, v. P. I. ought 70
wind It up by whipping Virginia, as II
apparently is much the stronger.
Catholic University and Maryland
each has two contests here tomorrow
and Georgetown one. Three OF tne
scheduled competitions are In base oaii,
one in tennis and one IN track. AL
five are on local fields.
Catholic u. plays the Marines in
return game, the other having taken
place at Quantico a week or 10 Gays
ago The Brooklanders will face nine
much better than the average strong
college. C. us tennis team plays Rich
mo~d.
Georgetown's nine meets Guilford
College, The Blue and Gray took the
measure of Guilford the latter part OF
March in o contest on the latter's nome
field. 1t hopes to repeat IN the game
here.
Maryland entertains the Virginia
Military Institute in a bali game at
College Park and Johns Hopkins Uni
versity in a dual track meet V. M. !.
has one Of the strongest mines in the
South and probably one Of the greatest
pitchers in the person of Lefty" VIII
iiams. It wa williams who hurled that
16-inning game against V. P. ].
Johns Hopkins has not been doing
so well in track athletics and will have
10 do a lot better than in its previous
meets to prevent Maryland winning.
This afternoon three Of the local col
leges take part in tennis matches.
George Washington meets Richmond
on the Columbia Country Club courts,
MARYLAND entertains Baltimore Uni
versity, while the Maryland Freshmen
take on Western High Schools racket
ers.
The University of Maryland Washing
ton College lacrosse game, scheduled
for Saturday, has been brought forward
to Friday. The game will be played at
College Park Friday at 4:30 in order
to give the Maryland squad chance
TO watch Hopkins play on Saturday.
Maryland meets Hopkins a week from
Saturday in the game 1t would rather
win than any other on its schedule,
with the exception Of Navy.
OF course, it is not possible to know
whether or not it is by coincidence that
announcement Of Harry wilson's re-
turn to West Point as assistant foot ball
coach comes right on the heels OF the
reported resignation OF eagle, but IL IL
were not by accident then somebody at
West Point has a keen sense OF public
psychology. Wilson probably was the
most outstanding foot ball player the
Amy had for four years, and he
entered Army after he played his allotted
time at Penn State. He was one OF the
prominent players who was always
something of a sore spot with Navy, as
he played four more years against
Navy after having played three years
against Navy as back at Penn State
eagles announcement that he was
of the current year helped Nays ar
suments against Army's eligibility con-
tentions more than it helped Army's
contention that athletes from other in
situations make fine officer material.
No better time could have been picked
to announce Wilson'S return to West
Point. 1t certainly has shown that the
most outstanding athlete who has en-
tered West Point after brilliant ca
reer as a college player has remained
in the Army and is making a good Of
ficer.
From the Army's point of view, If the
timely announcement of Wilson'S return
was not deliberate, 1t certainly Is a very
favorable coincidence.
Mount st. Mary's was not satisfied
with beating Catholic University earlier
this year on its home field, but yester-
day came down here to wipe the dia-
rnond with the Brooklanders. The
