- EPISCOPAL HIGH SCHOOL is
the only institution in this
immediate section to draw
q pole position in the Uni
verSity of Pennsylvania relays
next week. William and Mary is
the other school in the entire
South Atlantic region to get the
same lucky break. Georgetown
has drawn about the worst posi-
tions it has ever had, Maryland
has second place in its race, while
Eastern got a bad break and
Tech good one.
In the one-nile college relay cham
pionship event Georgetown will have to
start from the fifteenth place on the
track, which means that. If all the
teams take part that are entered the
Blue and Gray first runner will have
to fight his way through from the
end of q second line of starters. In
the half-mile championship Georgetown
has the ninth position, while in the
two-mile championship it must start
from fourth place, which is not so bad.
@ Maryland got the best break in its
race that it has had in years, having
second position from the pole, which
on the Penn track is just about as
good as the pole. In fact, II the firSt
runner is q little better sprinter than
the man on the pole the second place
is better. Maryland Is to run against
De Paw University which has the pole;
William and Mary, Bucknell, Union and
Fordham. 1t would seem that Fordham
Is the team the Old Liners will have
to beat to win.
william and Mary has team entered
in the class B college championship
one-mile race and has the pole in that
event. Howard University is to run in
cite, Springfield, Boston University and
Rutgers.
Tech. In O class race in which Ever
cite High of Massachusetts has the
pole, Is to run from the second po-
sition. Eastern in the class b one
mile championship for high schools
has drawn nth position.
Local schools are getting ready for the
Pennsylvania events. All feel they have
b chance in their respective compete
tons. Especially does Georgetown feel
that way in the mile championship
race, provided its runners get fair
start from very poor position. Mary
land has an idea that its team has the
best chance 1t has had In three years.
Tech and Eastern realize they will be
against the best kind of high school
competition, but believe their teams are
showing well enough to warrant some
optimism.
University of Maryland has two teams
In competition this afternoon at College
Park. The Old Liners meet Virginia
Military Institute at O'Clock in a
University Of Georgia in lacrosse at
o'clock. Both the v. M. l. and Georgia
teams arrived at College Park yester-
day afternoon and the latter took
brief workout. And, much to the sur
prise of the Marylanders, who watched
the Georgia stickmen, much better
group Of lacrosse players were seen than
the local school had any thought would
represent the Athens institution. It
develops the Georgia's lacrosse players
have won all three Of the games they
have played, and in one gave Georgia
Tech a real beating by something like
8 to l. Virginia Military Institute ath-
letes say their track squad Is not quite
as good as 1t was last year, the loss of
Walker having hurt the team consid-
erably.
Yesterday .Maryland's base ball team
won from Virginia by to in the best
game in which the local team has play
ed this Spring.
No score was registered until the sixth
inning, when the Marylanders scored
both their runs A walk by Cronin, q
scratch hit by Berger, and a drive by
Radice got Cronin across the plate, and
Berger went over on an outfield over
throw to the plate.
Radice in attempting to score also
was caught between third and home.
Cronin, Berger and Radice each got
two hits for Maryland. while Rice was
the only v. p. I. man to connect for
as many as two.
Batson again pitched fine ball for
Maryland, allowing only five safettes.
