MD. LACROSSE
TEAMPREPS
FORJAYS

Maryland spent a long, serious
session of practice yesterday in
preparation for the lacrosse game
with Johns Hopkins in the Balti-
more Stadium tomorrow after
noon at o'clock.
Coach Jack Faber of Maryland
is faced with the necessity of re-
vamping his attack for the Sec
ond time this season.
Depends On Attack
It will be the play of the Old
Liners attack which will de-
termine in great measure the
Maryland chances against Hop
kins, just as it did against st.
Johns.
Faber counted upon q trio Of
close attack players at the
start of the season who would
have increased the strength of
this department considerably
except for injuries:
skippy Faber, the coach's
brother; Eddie Ronkin and Fritz
Stieber all have felt the sudden
blow Of injuries. The first two
are entirely unavailable, and
Stieber has had bad leg, which
caused his shift to inhome, where
there is not the necessity for so
much running.
Jaws Have Reserves
Ronkin was the attack star and
leading scorer until two weeks
ago, when a broken ankle suS-
tanned in the game with st. Johns
resulted in his leaving the field
for the season.
Wood replaced him and has
been filling the position since.
Faber is anxious to have him
practice diligently with the others
on the attack to keep the passing
smooth. Called into service
quickly against st. Johns, Woods
play left something to be desired,
naturally enough.
Harlan is a second reserve
for the first attack position,
but neither is equal to ROnkin.
Of course, there are others who
are quite dangerous on this Mary
land attack, particularly the mid
fielders. Lee. Loughran, Norris,
and Pugh all have good shots,
and Colosimo, in addition to be-
ing a marksman, is good feeder.
Not Many Injuries
Hopkins has been particularly
fortunate, with regard to injuries
this season. Not a severe hurt
has robbed the Jays of the serv-
ices of any regular. The Home
wood team, in addition, is well
fortified with reserves who would
be of firSt-team caliber anywhere.
This one factor is likely to make
Maryland'S task nearly impossi-
BILE, unless. the Old Liners should
happen to catch the Jays in a Sc
rious let down after the hard
Army game.

This is particularly important
when the cold weather starts.
