HEAGY AND EVANS
ALL-AMER|CA MEN
Maryland Players on D. S.
Lacrosse Team to Meet
Canada's AII-Stars.

III WV NaAyAd1lu prayers nave pSeI
picked for the all-America Ia
crosse team that is to meet the
best IL in Canada at Toronto,
the second week in June. Al Heagy,
defense, and Bill Evans, generally rated
the best attack man in the country, are
the men notified yesterday that they
kave been selected along with 10 others
from the other colleges and universities
as the best the game has produced this
yer.
Evans for two consecutive years,
against the hardest kind of opposition
and despite the fact that he has been
covered more closely than any other
player, has led the country's attack
men in scoring. Last year he finished
in the lead by margin of only three
goals, but this Spring he has almost
a two-to-one record against his near
est competitor.
Evans is a great attack man, not
only because of his own ability to score,
but also because he knows what team
play means, and his passing to his
teammates enables them to register
goals.
Heagy has been q consistently good
player for three years and he probably
reached his zenith last week, when he
put up one of the greatest games against
Hopkins that any defense man ever
played anywhere.
The United States intercollegiate La
crosse Association, the organization that
governs lacrosse in the American col
legeS, Is sponsoring the invasion of
Canada. It seems that the champion
team of Canada invited the association
to send the best college twelve in the
United States for a game, but after
visiting Canada and watching the
Canadians in action, representatives of
the association decided that no Ameri-
can college could hope to compete on
even terms with them and concluded
to send the All-America aggregation
the best IL men in the colleges. The
contest will be played the middle of
June,
MARYLAND winds up its athletic
IN year today at Annapolis with a
lacrosse game with the Navy. No
contest in any sport this Spring has
aroused as much attention as this one,
as 1T Is likely to decide the national
championship. If Navy wins, it will
have clear right to the title. If
Maryland is victor, despite its defeat by
st. Johns, it is likely to have an edge
on the other aSpirantS.
1t is expected that $4,000 persons will
watch the game. There is not much
doubt that the Navy field will be taxed
to its limit, and further, there is not
much doubt that one of the greatest
lacrosse contests that have ever been
played will take place.
CEoRGEToWN won the final game
" of its base ball season yesterday at
New Haven by whipping Yale 10
to 9. 1t was the second game in as
many days in which both the Blue and
Gray and its opponent scored freely. 1t
lost to New York University Thursday
by IL to 10. And, incidentally, in the
game played prior to the one with
N. Y. u, total of Is runs were made
Yale out-hit Georgetown yesterday
but did not hit so effectively. The Dark
Blue made total of ii bingles against
eight for the Blue and Gray. George
town had Yale on the short end of a
10-to-7 score until the last inning when
Yale made two runs, and probably
caused the Blue and Gray players to-
come near fainting because of the pos
sibility of losing another game in the
final inning by IL to 10, just as they
dropped the N. Y. U. game Thursday.
The box score:
