MARYLAND Twelve Meets Hopkins. :.
O--e Of Maryland's most important
conv-sus of its Spring sports schedule,
perhaps its most important, comes SAT-
urday, when the lacrosse twelve Jour
neys to Baltimore to meet Hopkins.
Lacrosse Is the one sport in which the
great majority Of games between Hop
kirs and Maryland have resulted In VIC
tories for Hopkins. Last year, though,
Maryland won easily. getting big lead
In the first half and holding 1t through
out the second.
while the Maryland lacrosse team Is
battling Hopkins in Baltimore with ap-
parently about an even chance to win,
the track squad will be meeting Navy
at Annapolis In q dual meet which Navy
is almost certain to take by big mar
gin. Maryland also meets Hopkins IN
q tennis match, while George Washing
ton plays Pittsburgh here In the same
snort.
G. U. Nine Faces Army.
In its northern trip this week George
towns ball team plays only two games,
but when the journey runs over into
next week the Blue and Gray will take
part in five more. Monday it jumps to
Boston, where 1t meets Boston College
and Harvard Monday and Tuesday.
Following the game with Harvard the
Hilltoppers drop down to West Point to
face Army, thence over TO New Haven
for a battle with Yale and winds up
the week at New York University Sat-
urday. No game Is scheduled Thurs
day.
On this trip Georgetown meets Just
about the best there Is in college base
ball. Yale, Harvard and Holy Cross
usually have as good. mines as can be
found anywhere, and this season New
York University Is far from q mean
opponent.
incidentally, in going North George
town represents the best the South has
to offer in the way Of college base ball.
II it does not win games, II 1t falls to
make the kind Of showing expected Of
it, then Northern college base ball
simply is superior to Southern college
ball, because what Georgetown cannot
do this Spring on the diamond 1t Is UNI
likely that any other Southern school
could.
Track Entries Are Heavy.
The fifty-fourth annual track and
field championships of the Intercollegi-
ate A. A. A. A., to be held at Harvard
May 80 and 81, certainly will not lack
for material as far as numbers are con-
cerned. A total of 731 athletes have
been entered to represent colleges and
universities from the Pacific to the At
lantic. Harvard leads the list with So
entries, Cornell has 81, Yale 80 and
New York University Il.
From the Pacific Coast will come two
great teams, Stanford and Southern
California. The former Is to be repre-
scented by SO and the latter by 36. In Q
recent dual meet between these schools
some Of the most remarkable marks OF
the year were hung up. University OF
California is to be represented by eight
men. It is expected that either Southern
California or Stanford will win the
meet.
Diamond Scores Run Big.
It is doubtful II two college ball teams
ever scored as many runs in their two
games in the same season as have been
made by Catholic University and Mary
land this Spring. May 3 at College Park
Maryland won by "a to z, and yesterday
at Brookland Maryland again was VIC
torious, this time by IA to S, making a
total of so runs by the two mines in two
games. That is an average Of rs runs
for each game, or, as was actually
scored, 81 runs for the first game and
10 for the second. A ball that Is entirely
too lively no doubt Is largely responsible
for the numerous runs.
