baseball, lacrosse, track and
tennis, the Old Liners won 78 tiltS
and lost So, for winning average
of go per cent.
The varsity teams won 49 times
and lost on "a occasions, while
the freshman scored 20 victories
in At attempts. Track and tennis
we're the only sports not to finish
on the right side of the ledger.
In addition to the winning IA
of 18 games in the regular cam
paign, the Old Line varsity basket

ference championship in the
tourney at Atlanta to furnish the
high spot of the year.
The varsity baseball team has
two games with Washington and
