w YHILE the end of intercol-
W. legiate athletics for local
' v colleges for the current
scholastic year is just in
the off1ng, a good deal of activity
is scheduled for this week end.
Georgetown and Maryland have
several contests, while Catholic
University is to engage in a dual
track meet.
Georgetown's base ball team goes to
Quantico today for two games, the first
this afternoon and the other tomorrow.
Today the Lafayette tennis team ap-
pears on the Hilltop, while the George
town golf team plays Holy Cross on the
Princeton course. Tomorrow Carnegie
Techs tennis team is here to meet the
Blue and Gray, while Hilltop golfers
remain at Princeton to play Harvard
in the morning and Dartmouth in the
afternoon.
Two Maryland teams are in action
this afternoon, the nine against Viz
ginia Military Institute and the tennis
team against Richmond. Both contests
are at College Park. However, the main
week end struggle in which the Mary
landers will engage is the lacrosse game
with Rutgers, which takes place tomor-
row at $780, Prior to the lacrosse game
Maryland is to meet Johns Hopkins in
a dual meet. The Old Line Freshman
track squad journeys to Annapolis to
meet the Navy Plebes, while the var
Sity tennis team stays at home Tor
match with Virginia Polytechnic In
sIitute
Catholic University winds up its most
successful track season with dual
meet at Brookland, with Delaware as its
opponent The Brooklanders expect to
finish with a victory, their defeat OF
Temple University at Philadelphia We'd
nesday having given them a good deal
of optimism in regard to the probable
outcome against Delaware. Coach Dor
sey Grifdth feels well satisfied over the
results of the season so far and a VIC
tory tomorrow will make the year just
that much more satisfactory.
YxIITH the exception Of the Southern
w Conference track and field cham
pionships, to be decided today and
tomorrow at Birmingham, athletics in
the colleges Of the South are just about
finished for the year. Washington and
Lee has two more base ball games, both
with Maryland, as a part OF the COM
nencement program at each university,
but barring those, the diamond Sched-
ules are about at their end. All the
schools south of Washington aim to
finish their schedules about the mid
die of May, very few running any
longer than that in any sport.
The conclusion of base ball schedules
Of schools in this section marks the end
of the Tri-State intercollegiate Base
No nF rf17f ToNO1iY,n
State, North Carolina, Washington and
Lee, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Vir-
GINA Military Institute, Virginia and
Maryland are members.
Whether or not an attempt viii be
made to revive the organization after
next year is not known, but there has
been some talk Of 1t. Action taken In
Lynchburg sometime ago suspended
operation Of the league for one year,
but provided for discussion Of the base
ball problem after that. Some schools
in this section desire very much to con-
tinue the league, but others see no need
for it.
NORTHERN schools that formerly
IN came South every year for base
ball games are finding 1t increaS-
ingly difficult to arrange satisfactory
schedules. Navy plays only on Wednes-
day and Saturday, and with the excep-
ton Of Navy, only Georgetown and
Maryland are represented on the dia-
nlond. In years gone by George Wash
ington, Catholic University and Johns
Hopkins had teams, which made it easy
to arrange a series Of games right
around Washington at very little ex-
pense for travel Now, in order to COM
plete schedules. Northern teams must
go down through Virginia, where jumps
are not so short and not so convenient
Probably the most convenient place for
a school travelling for ball games out
side Of this immediate district is in
North Carolina, where North Carolina
University, Duke University and North
Carolina State are within radius of
Is miles, more or less. But nothwith
standing the increasing difficulty Of ar
ranging schedules Northern schools are
continuing their trips. Hardly day
goes by that Georgetown, Maryland,
Navy and others do not get letters or
kilograms asking for games.
