Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-05-05

has completed it's foot ball
Y 4 schedule for next year,
and, despite the unusual
difficulties under which 1t Ia
bored, has rather better sched-
ule than usual. The breaking OF
relationships with Catholic U. by
George Washington and American
Universities at late date and
Just as unexpected decision by
Holy Cross not to play its game
with C. U. next Fall caused just
about as difficult situation for
the Brooklanders to cope with as
is possible in arranging Sched-
ule for any college sport.
The season Is to open September 20
and wind-up on Thanksgiving day.
Boston College at Boston Is to be the
first contest, while the final will be with
Loyola College of Baltimore. North
Carolina State at Raleigh is expected TO
be one of the most important contests
of the year, especially as it gives the
BrooklanderS chance to break INTO the
Southern Conference.
The schedule of home games Is I'M
usually good. Six are to be played here.
CITY College of New York Is to appear
in the Brookland Stadium on OCTOBER
8, Gallaudet, October 10; Manhattan
! College, November Z; St. Francis, NO
vember IA: Providence College, Novem-
Der 81, and Loyola, November 70
THANKSGIVING This is about as GOOD
a home schedule as the Brooklanders
have had In years. North Carolina
state contest is listed for october 70,
while the remaining game, that with
Duuuesne University will be played at
Pittsburgh at night on october 80.
This actually Is a far better schedule
than Coach Bergman thought he would
be able to arrange, considering the
jumbled up shape in which he found
himself following the decisions of
George Washington, American U. and
/ Holy Cross not to play c. U. next
season. And, 1t might be well to men
ton, the schedule would not have been
arranged SO well had it not been Tor
Bergman's likable personality and the
general esteem in which he is held.
Spring foot ball at Catholic u, while
It did not yield. possibly, as good re-
suits as Bergman had hoped Tor, mas
been productive from a standpoint OF
drills in fundamentals. Virtually all
the practice has been in teaching those
mechanical details Of individual play
that really are responsible for the
building Of great teams. At any rate,
Coach Bergman Ia looking forward to
next season with considerable optimism.
He does not expect q world-beating
team but does feel he should have
team which should 60 through It's
schedule with considerable success.
WAKE FOREST Is here today TO meet
w Georgetown In a base ball game.
The Baptists nearly always have
an exceptionally good nine and are
likely to give Georgetown real battle,
and maybe win. However, If its pitch l
ers go at their best, the Blue and Gray
Is not an easy nine to beat.
Gallaudet goes out to Catholic Uni
Versity tomorrow for a dual track and
field meet. It expects to make fairly
good showing, but hardly a victory.
Coach Dorsey Griffith has about the
best track and field squad that has
ever represented the Brookland school
, and ought to take the long end OF the
score Catholic University is expected
to get I'D a big lead in the running
events and at least break even in the
Jumps, vault and hurdles.
Maryland's nine goes to Princeton to-
morrow The Old Liners lost TO the
Tigers by to 1 last year and believe
they have about the same even chance
this time. With the exception OF the
contest with the Navy two weeks from
now. MARYLAND would rather win from
the Tigers than from any other school
on its schedule.
THE athletic contest Of the week that
l. is attracting attention throughout
the State of Maryland is the lacrosse
battle Saturday between Maryland and
St. Johns. at College Park. So lar
MARYLAND has won all its games with
ease, having defeated Georgia, Wash
ington College, Western Maryland. SYRIA
else and Penn State, but realizes that
against st. Johns 1t will have about as
tough going as it Is likely TO strike in
many moons.
And, to tell the situation as 1t L.
about everybody familiar with lacrosse
in MARYLAND thinks that st. johns Is
going to give the Old Line school an
other lacing Last year St johns was
the only team that beat Maryland.
Gus Crothers, former Marylander: VINO
coaches lacrosse at Washington College,
said Saturday. est. Johns has the best
lacrosse team I've ever seen, and
think that Maryland is due to take
whipping"
Coach Jack Faber has his men in
good shape physically, but does not
have a team as experienced as that
which represents st. Johns. He Is
SAYING little about the prospects Tor VIC
tory, but Is saving wood.
