~ NE base ball game for
Georgetown, four base ball
~ games and one lacrosse
contest for Maryland, and
The 1930-1931 year for local inter
collegiate athletics will be a mat
ter Of history. When the curtain
goes down on these contests COL
1ege athletes in this section will
hang up their uniforms and put
away their paraphernalia until the
locker rooms again are opened for
foot ball next September.
Georgetown's lone contest is with
Ohio State. The ball team that repre-
Sents that university is scheduled to
come here Friday and it should give
q good idea of what Western Confer
erce diamond play is like. Incidentally
this Is one of the few instances in
(which team from that section of the
scountry shows its wares around Wash
Hngton.
Maryland's ball team goes to Phila-
kdelphia tomorrow to meet Pennsylvania

lat West Point Originally the Army
sRalne was to wind-up the schedule, but
last Winter, at the request Of the
salumni associations of the respective
institutions. Maryland agreed with
sWasaington and Lee to play two ad-
one at College Park on June and the
other at Lexington June 8, these being
the dates Of the annual meeting of
alumni associations. This runs the
base ball season longer than either of
these two schools has had games sched-
uled in many years.
The University of Maryland has in
Its final lacrosse game its most i'm
portant of the year. At least, it would
set more store by a victory in the one
contest that yet remains than it would
by any other. 1t Journeys to Annapolis

struggle for both elevens, the one that
features the June week athletic pro-
gram. Last year the Old Liners took
Navy into camp by to / in what was
the first victory ever registered over
Navy on the Nays own field.

ball game, to O; Navy won the basket
ball contest by 3 points and Saturday
Maryland won the base ball game in
which it led by only one run until the
first half of the ninth. The struggle
between the Midshipmen and Old Liners
last Spring in lacrosse was a remark
able exhibition, the score being tie
for long while, and the game this

Tor two consecutive years Maryland
J. has given a brilliant lacrosse ex-
htbitton against Johns HOPKINS
The Old Line twelve year ago played
about as perfectly as possible to take
6-to-0 contest, the only one in which
Hopkins ever was BANKED, and Satur-
cay 1t won again as result of great
drive in the closing minutes of play and
an even greater exhibition of offensive
play for few minutes in the first half.
With the second half Saturday about
is minutes gone and the score to 4
In favor Of Maryland Hopkins staged
q rally that produced two goals in quick
succession 10 tie things up. During the
10 minutes that remained after that
SECOND goal some Of the hardest, rough
est and most inspiring play ever seen on
a lacrosse field took place on the part
Of both teams. It was the kind of
play that two teams could not keep I'D
Indefinitely, and it was just question
as TO which Of two good teams first
would break Hopkins proved unfor-
funate, and within two minutes of the
close of time Maryland shot the two
tgoals that settled the issue. It was the
kind of struggle in which there is plenty
Sof glory for the loser as well as for the
victor.
