WILLIE OHAAAA5
M field day of the Univer-
v v sity of Maryland tomor-
row at College Park will
be the biggest since it first was
held. back in 1910, and generally
is attracting a great deal OF in
terest. as tar as the alumni are
concerned, and many others as
well, the big feature OF the Gay
will be the Lacrosse game oeCWeen
the Old Liners and Penn state.
A great many followers OF the local
high schools Will go out to the games
because of their intense personal interest
in the track competition, and others
will give lot of attention to the base
bail snme between Maryland and west
Virginia. but the real thrills Will come
to a majority of those present from the
lacrosse battle.
Maryland has not yet met defeat In
lacrosse. 1t has taken the measure OF
Georgia, Washington College, western
Maryland and Syracuse, ana all by sucn
decisive scores as to hardly give good
line on the Old Liners strength. fenn
State people secuted Maryland at It's
game WITH Syracuse last week and they
Expressed themselves as feeling they had
about an even chance, which is SUFFICIENT
indication that lacrosse bate OF con-
siderable magnitude and intensity Is IN
store. Penn State usually is strong
enough in any sport in which it Is
represented to give any college opponent
q real struggle.
Fabsr will start about the same team
against Penn State that he used against
Syracuse, with the probable exception
that Norris will be back in the game
Norris played only half the time at
Syracuse and seemed to have ABOUT
fully recovered from his early season
injury.
TN it's other contests with colleges,
MARYLAND stands about an even
chance. except that it is almost GER
tain to l1se to Navy in the dual track
meet. This is to be Nays f1rst trip 10
College Park for a dual meet, and IL
doubtless will carry back to Annapolis
the long end Of the score by COM
Portable margin.
The Old Liners should be an even bet
against West Virginia in base ball and
against william and Mary in tennis.
MARYLAND has a ball team that can
about hold its own.
The dual track meet with Navy was
scheduled as a triangular AFFAIR, with
Virginia as the third school, but the
0eaIn Oh LII. Z. n. Va VIZ
University of Virginia, has caused the
Cavaliers to withdraw. The Virginia
Freshman lacrosse IL also has Cancelled
its game with the Maryland Freshmen.
Forty-six preparatory and high
schools are scheduled to take part in the
interschclastic events and the county
high school competitions. A great many
mere than this would have taken part
had MARYLAND been willing to waive its
accounting entries
after the official closing of lists Monday.
The Virginia State championship
games at Charlottesville were called on
because of Dr. Alderman's death, ana
this left the big high and prep schools
of the State without a meet to attend.
Wires from all sections of Virginia came
here yesterday asking permission OF the
Maryland authorities to enter the
games. However, the Old Line School
never has accepted an entry after the
date for the official closing, and 1t was
compelled to decline with regret the
entries from many of Virginia's big
gest schools. Episcopal High VIII take
part in the games, as its squad voted
last week to send its team to Maryland
instead Of to Virginia.
THREE local schools are expected to
i stand a good chance of capturing
the meet, and many persons appar-
emily feel that Eastern High of Episco-
pal may win. Central and Tech seem
to be the best OF the other entrants.
.Hagerstcwn High is being picked by
many TO stand out in the events for
county schools In Widmyer it is said
to have the best scholastic Splinter in
Maryland.
With the dropping out Of the two
teams from the University Of Virginia.
81 colleges and schools are scheduled
TO take part in the various forms Of
competition. Forty-six high and prep
schools and five colleges are to be rep
resented by over 500 athletes, the big
gest single afternoon of intercollegiate
and and interscholastic contests on the
same field in one day In this section.
West Virginia IS here today for two
ball games. It goes up on the Hilltop
this afternoon to play Georgetown, then
remains over until tomorrow for the
setto with Maryland. Not much is
known of the West Virginia nine, but
1t nearly always is unusually strong.
