CRIMSON HAS ONE
OF ITS BEST MINES
Royas Have Two Other
Games This Week-Track
Win Looms for Cards.
BY H. c. BYRD.

A BOUT the most important
~ event of intercollegiate ath-
1 \ IeticS this week, as far as
local fields are concerned,
will be the visit of the Harvard
base ball team for games with
Georgetown and Maryland. The
Crimson left Cambridge last night
for Williamsburg, where it opens
It's Southern trip with william
and Mary. Tt comes here to meet
Georgetown Thursday and Mary
land Friday.
In addition to the games scheduled
here, Harvard meets William and
Mary tomorrow; Virginia, Tuesday;
Navy, Wednesday, and then on its
Jump back to Cambridge stops of at
Philadelphia to play Pennsylvania.
Advance statements indicate that
Harvard should have one of its best
mines. Several Of its regulars starred
on the team last year and also on
other teams. Some of the best Grim
son foot ball men are on the nine.
Wood, brilliant quarterback, who has
been hailed as one of the most IN
telligent college athletes in the coun-
try, Is playing first base. Batchelder,
Devens, Mays and Ticknor are other
foot ball lights holding down jobs on
the diamond. Ticknor was generally
picked last Fall as all-America center.
CEoRGETowN has two ball games
" this week in addition to the one
with Harvard. Friday, Villanova
comes here for game on the Hill
top, but the same night the Blue and
Gray jumps to New York to play
New York University.
Three games in as many days means
that Georgetown's pitchers will have to
measure up pretty well, because it does
not have a sufficiently large staff to
admit Of much juggling. Incidentally,
in meeting Harvard, Villanova, and
New York U. it is likely that George
town will be up against just about as
stiff competition as it is likely to find
in intercollegiate ranks.
Maryland has no diamond contest
other than that with Harvard, but its
lacrosS team is to meet Western Mary
land and its track team opens Catholic
University's schedule, both contests
being listed at College Park Saturday
1t is pretty sure that the Old Liners
viii be UP against the stiffest opposi-
ton they have faced this year when
they play Western Maryland's stick
wildeTS Last year, and also the year
before, Maryland DEBATED the upstate
school, but Western Maryland has good
material and has been coming along
rapidly IN its development of the game.
Western Maryland has been repre-
sented in lacrosse only the last two
or three years.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY stands a
~ good chance to score its first
track victory over the Old Line School.
IT showed group of runners in the in
door meet at Brookland who should 90
well out on the cinders. And If Coach
Dorsey Griffith has as strong group of
field men then he is likely to chalk up
win.
Several Of the local schools are to
hook up in tennis matches this week
The first is to take place when Hopkins
comes here tomorrow to meet George
Washington. The next will be played
Friday when Georgetown goes up to
New York to test its mettle against
New York University and American
University plays at Maryland. Satur-
day Georgetown's racket wielders stop
of on their way back to Washington
for a match with Villanova and George
Washington goes to New York to play
N. Y. U.
INDICATIONS are that Notre Dame
i will carry on Nationwide cam
paign to raise funds for a Rockne
memorial on the campus at that uni
veTsity. Such a campaign should be
fine thing and bear good results in
every way.
In the first place. it win establish a
memorial to a man who carried the
name OF Notre Dame far and wide as
the peak of the development of inter
collegiate foot ball and, what will be
even more valuable, will result in the
erection Of a building from which
values should be derived by students
for many years. 1t is understood the
memorial is to take the form of field
house, for which there is much need
in every university.
If the memorial does take this form
there will come from Rockneis death a
valuable instrument in the development
Of men. 1t is to be hoped that the
project Is carried through to a success
full conclusion.
