ton on local fields tomor-
row will be that in which
- three University of Mary
land steamS-base ball, track and
lacroSSe-open their schedules at
College Park. The nine meets
Cornell at 2 o'clock, the track
squad has Washington and Lee
as its opponent at the same hour,
while the lacrosse twelve faces
Randolph-Macon at 4.
Maryland has seen enough Of its
squads, although none has bcen In
competition, to know that 1t should be
considerably stronger In both base ball
and track than it was last year and
hopeful that its lacrosse squad may
measure up to the high standard of
the last two seasons.
It is in base ball, though, that the Old
Liners ought to show greater superiority
over their 1929 performances than In
any other sport. The material for the
team is so much better than a year
ago that there is hardly any comparison,
while the pitching staff, the real heart
Of college nine, also seems much more
capable.
Hauver, Milburn and Phipps are likely
to carry the bulk of the pitching burden
and all are good men. Hauver was the
star Of the Freshman nine last season.
It is likely that Rosen will do the
catching, with Gaylor at third, Chalmers
at short, Berger at second, Radice at
first and Cronin, Hetzel, and either
Sterling, Tansil or May in the outfield.
In meeting Washington and Lee,
despite the Improvement in the local
squad, Maryland probably should be
considered as having the short end of
any prediction as to the outcome.
Washington and Lee also has a much
better squad than last year and then 1t
whipped the Marylanders easily.
Coach Eppley thinks that his team
has an outside chance to win what is
the first track meet of the year in this
section as well as the opening of his
own schedule.
The lacrosse team, facing the sea-
son with the loss of half of last years
IL, expects to beat Randolph Macon.
The team has been coming along much
better than expected, though, in some
positions not as much strength has
been developed as had been hoped for.
OF course, Maryland knows nothing of
the strength Of Randolph-Macon and
1t may be that more of a battle than
Is anticipated may be in store.
Anyway, the three competitions to-
morrow will give Maryland people a
chance to look at their Spring teams
in action, and should give them some
thing of line on what to expect during
the months Of April and May.
Two base ball games are scheduled
for local mines today, Cornell being at
Georgetown and Vermont at Catholic
University. The Ithacans had some
success in their games in North Caro-
lima, but probably will be against at
Georgetown a stronger nine than they
have yet faced Vermont will have to
play much better ball than it has yet
indicated 1t is capable OF If it expects
to beat Catholic University. Both
games begin at $3.50 pm, the George
town. Cornell game at Washington Bar
racks diamond and Catholic University
Vermont at Brookland.
What was to have been Gallaudet's
opening game yesterday with the Uni
versity OF Vermont was prevented by
rain. The Kendall Greeners open to-
morrow with the Maryland State Nor
NAL School at Towson, Md.
The Oxford Cambridge lacrosse team,
playing Washington College yesterday
at Chestertown, won by 18 to O. The
Eastern Shore school apparently was SO
weak that 1t failed to accomplish much
of anything against the invading twelve.
The EngliShmen are due to take q
whipping tomorrow at the Naval
Academy, but in turn will probably de-
feat Virginia on Monday at Charlottes-
vile.
One Of the men Maryland has been
depending on to do a lot of pitching
this Spring probably will not be able to
do much Of anything along that line.
