Midshipmen

The name 'midshipman" originated
in the British navy more than 200
years ago from the fact that the
young men who were training to be-
come officers were assigned quarters
amidships on the lower deck. Thus
"midshipmen" came to be applied to
cadets or line and executive officers
Of the lowest grade.
When the American colonies Or
ganiZed their navy, the British prac-
tice was followed in this respect as
well as in other ranks.

TRACK DATES LISTED
FOR PRINCE GEORGES
High and Elementary School Meet
Features Spring Season.
HyattsVille Favored.

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, March
12.-saturday, May %, has been set
for the seventeenth annual track and
field championship meet of the high
schools and larger elementary schools
of Prince Georges County to be held
in the University of Maryland Stadium
at College Park. The meet will be held
under the auspices of the county Board
of Education in cooperation with the
Playground Athletic League of Mary
land, of which DR.. william S. Burdick
Is chairman.
Dates for the annual county rural
school meet, for one and two room
schools, and for the yearly colored
championship meet also have been an
nounced, the former to be held Mon
day, May 4, and the latter Thursday,
April 9. Both will be staged on the
grounds of the Southern Maryland
Agricultural Fair Association here.
Hyattsville High, which year after
year has won first honorS in the big
county meet, is thought likely to re-
peat. This school alone has been rep
resented by an indoor track team this
season. Mount Rainier Junior High
School and Upper Marlboro High
School are just about the only schools,
other than Hyattsville, which, 1t Is be-
lieved, will be able to score appreciably.
Hyattsville's victory last year was
by a top-heavy margin, the Blue and
Gold squad massing ITO points to 81
each for Upper Marlboro and Mount
Rainier Elementary, which we're tied
for second place. Mount Rainier Junior
High, which opened its doors for the
first time last Fall, will be making its
initiar appearance in the meet.
More than 5000 took part in the
1880 meet, a record number, and in
dications are that even more will par
ticipate this year.

~ NE Of Promoter Joe Turner's
"grudge" grapples, featuring
an ex-Russian CosSack and an
ex-German naval officer, will
be the headliner of the Washington
Auditorium pachyderm picnic tonight.
The grunts and growls begin at $3.50
O'Clock sharp.
Matros Kirelenko is the ex-Cossack
and Dick Shikat is the ex-gob. Like
the McMillen-Londos feud, the Kire-
lenko-Shikat clash is becoming o reg
ular act. They have rassled four times.
Joe Turner maintains that If Shikat
can send Matros into a tailspin he
probably will get another crack at
Londos.
Shikat, however, will have to do his
share If he means to hurdle the former
Cossack. After losing the first time,
MatroS rassled a two-hour draw and a
30-minute deadlock with Shikat and
showed signs Of getting better each
time.
George Hagen, who is going strong
right now, tackles Milo Steinborn, the
German power house." Both boys are
chesty-measuring about 3 feet around
the arms-and Turner looks for them
to give the Kirelenko-Shikat bout q
run for top honors.
4 newcomer, George Tragos, win ap-
pear. He is ranked second to Londos
as champion Of all Greeks. In Balti-
more he rassled Karl Pozzela to q
draw, and they intended to feature
him over there. Tragos viii meet Billy
Bartush.

day at the 7th Regiment Armory.

lane Collegian ranked No. 5. headed the
list of eight seeded defenders. Suffer
tops the field of Ga in the upper half of

provide the opposition for the Bounding
Basque in the final.

Frenchmen, also are seeded in the lower
half of the draw along with three of
the preferred AmericanS-Berkeley Bell,

BILL WILL REJECT
DOUBTFUL ENTRIES
Several Women Expected to
Take Part in Big Event
Opening Saturday.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

I've dollars may get you
r. that Easter suit and a num-
Der of iron men to boot II
you're in the "105" class OF
bowlers and can shoot above your
average on the next three Satur-
day nights.
Close to a hundred men and
women are expected to risk nm
apiece in the second RUNNING OF
the Bill Wood Dub Sweepstakes, to
open this week end at the Lucky
Strike.
Only bowlers who can prove they
have league averages of less than LOG
viii be eligible and the tournament
chairman, j. w. Wood, will reserve the
right to reject the entry of any shooter
recognized to have more than ordinary
ability. There are many who pay little
attention to league play, but flre away
with devastating effect in independent
matches.
A number Of these attempted to horn
in on the lucrative tournament last
year, but were told quietly that the
event came under the category of sport
and not business.
TT isn't necessary to be a league men,
4 Der to be eligible, but any applicant
who can't show an average will be
carefully investigated. The lists will be
kept open until O'Clock Saturday
night, half hour before starting time,
but bowlers Of doubtful status who wait
for the deadline will be out of luck
The experts have had their National
Duckpin Bowling Congress, Howard
Campbell and Potomac sweepstakes.
This one is reserved strictly for the
middle class of maple maulers.
Bill Royal, Masonic Lacquer, won 1t
last year with a 15-game total Of 1885,
an average of 1925. A double-header
strike late in his final set was the punch
that enabled him to beat out w. Watt,
who finished second with 1,67S.
Thee f1ve-game blocks will be rolled,
with the first ana third at the Lucky
Strike and the second at the King Pin
No. 2. All Of the entry money will go
into the prize fund, which will be split
six ways. The cost of games will be So.
T Asst year first place was worth $500;
- second, $3.50; third, 500; fourth,
SITS; fifth, $40. and sixth, SIS.
There were 118 entries, a mark which
isn't likely to be equalled this time, one
reason being that the Virginia and
Maryland sweepstakes viii be run on
the same dates and a number of ell
igibles will prefer this.
The Bill Wood tournament is the only
one of major importance in which
women compete on equal terms with
men. There are likely to be several
skirted entrants, among them Marjorie
Bradt Smith, who averaged 119 to win
the Bill Wood Women's Sweepstakes.
Washington's premier woman bowler,
Lorraine Gull, isn't eligible. She is
averaging around 108 in one league and
has 1O6 or so In another.

Soon spangles will glisten on the diamond on Willoughby Avenue. Crowds will ride "his umps" again. So the time has arrived to make arrangements for the approaching baseball season.

 Last season there were three teams in the league--Moose, Elks and American Legion. This year, these organizations will be repre- sented again, and there is consid- erable likelihood that Douglas may organize and enter a fourth club.
 Availability of players and the opening date of the season will be tentatively discussed at the meeting tonight.

THE MATTER RESTS

In the same mail I have a letter from Halfback Harry Smith, now a Richmond business man, relaying his 'check-up" Wian Quarterback Tichenor of the fact that Auburn used the trick play only twice in 1895 and not at all in 1896, as Warner recalled.
 So the great 'hidden-ball' mys- tery seems to be solved. It should be clear that this column holds no brief in the matter other than an interest in producing the facts. Warner made no claim to originat- ing the play, but his friends claim ed he first used it in 1897 while coaching Cornell in a game with Penn State. If this was correct, he was two years behind Heismar. And there you are, gentlemen.

 !, S1antS A10e40ssn

This column dislikes to end a good argument on any subject, but the clinching evidence is at hand that the much h-discussed football hidden-under-t the jersey" play was originated by MT. John w. Heis- man while coaching at Alabama Poly (Auburn in 1895, not by MT. Glen Scobey (Pop) Warner at Cornell in 1897.
 This evidence is from MT. Heis- man himself, who noted what MT. Warner had to say ecently through this pillar of sports opin- ion and writes me as follows:
 What MT Warner saw of Au- burns play he says he observed when he secuted Auburn in 1896 But that was just one year too late, because I invented the play in October, 1895, and my Auburn team of that year played it suc- cessfully against Vanderbilt at Nashville in that same month and year.
 That same year-still 1895-we played the University of Georgia, with MT. Warner coaching the lat ter team, at Brisbane Park, At lanta, on Thanksgiving Day. The second half of that game we again pulled the play and Harry Smith, left halfback. this time ran 40 yards with the ball under his jer- sey for touchdown
 Tt happened, however, that Georgia was offside on that very play and the ball had to be called back, with Auburn awarded 10 yards for the offside play. In those days, you will recall, one could not decline the penalty
 Where MT. Warmers attention was riveted on that particular day and occasion I can have no idea, but certain it is that the Georgia rooters yelled very derisively when the referee called the touchdown off and shame-faced Harry Smith was thereby forced to pull the ball out from under h:s jersey.

HUDSON RACE
 DAY EARLIER

NEW YORK, March 31.-The Poughkeepsie regatta, in which practically every crew in the coun- try except the Big Three" Yale, Harvard and Princeton, will com pete, will be held about ten days earlier than the historic event usually is held.
 When the board of stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing Associ- ation met in January it selected June IT as the date, the earliest in more than 35 years, but it was learned the date for the event had been changed to the day ahead June 16
 June 16 was the only day found to be favorable from the middle of the month until after July l, so rather than hold the regatta early in July, the board selected the former date.
 The tide is the main factor in selecting the date, because it has to be just right at the time of the races
