T UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
teams will be buster this
" week than all other local
colleges combined. Out of
10 contests scheduled, the Old
Liners are to take part in 6.
Maryland begins its activities
today at Lexington, Va, where
the base ball squad meets Vir-
ginia Military Institute. Tomor-
row the nine remains at LeXing-
ton to take issue with Washing
ton and Lee. 1t comes back late
tomorrow night and does not
play again until Saturday, when
Dickinson College is to be its op-
ponent at College Park.
Two more contests for the Mary
landers will take place at Atlanta and
Athens, where the lacrosse twelve goes
on the longest trip the university has
ever taken in that sport. 1t meets
Georgia Tech at Atlanta Friday and
Georgia at Athens on Saturday. The
team is scheduled to leave Athens
Saturday night and arrive here about
noon Sunday
The other competition scheduled for
q Maryland team is a track meet with
Virginia Military Institute at College
Park
Georgetown's base ball team goes
out for another clash en- Tuesday with
Mount st. Marys. The Saints usually
have a good nine and Georgetown may
have its hands full.
On Wednesday two George Washing
ton teams play tennis and golf the
tennis squad being scheduled at Johns
Hopkins in Baltimore and the golf at
home with William and Mary. George
towns tennis team has match Friday,
with Washington and Lee as its op-
ponent.
CEORGETOWN and Maryland have
~ yet to win ball game, although
both hope to break into that
column before this week ends. The
former lost to Lafayette Friday in the
only game it has played while the lat
ter has been defeated by North Caro-
lima, Duke and Virginia. Maryland had
hoped to even up with North Carolina
Saturday, but downpour prevented
the opportunity. In its game with La
fayette Georgetown was near victory,
but could not quite reach its goal. La
fayette went through until the last
half Of the ninth with the count to
in its favor, but the Blue and Gray
started to score in the final chapter
and got three runs across to make the
score to 4, but, with two down, a
pinch hitter struck out with the tying
run on the base line.
VITHILE Maryland's ball game with
w North Carolina Saturday was
''rained out" as they say farther
down South. its lacrosse and track
teams went through their engagements
despite the rain and mud. The defeat
of Washington College in lacrosse was
expected, but the victory over Washing
ton and Lee in track was hardly looked
for by as wide margin as it was won.
In fact, the Old Liners did not regard
themselves as having any mere than an
even chance. That they won with COM
parative ease is indication that their
track team is on the upgrade and yin
be stronger than in the last three CT
four years.
lacrosse team went down in
IN its opening game before Mount
Washington, but the way in which
1t did hardly reflects anything other
than Navy strength. The Mount Wash
ington team week ago beat Princeton
by an overwhelming score, something |
like IS to l, yet barely beat Navy, to |
4. Mount washington, 1t should be un- |
derstood, Is club team made up Of |
picked stars from recent graduates of !
Hopkins. st. Johns. Maryland and one !
or two other colleges. Navy has not
been as strong in lacrosse the last 2
years as it was when for about 13 years
1t never lost game on its home field, !
but its showing against Mount Wash
ington indicates it may come through
with another Of its fine twelves.
COACH BURTON SHIPLEY of Mary
~ land says that the center line
established at the Basket Ball
Rules Committee meeting last week may
slow up the game instead Of hurrying it /
up, as the rules makers say it should. in |
that it. is intended TO prevent stalling. |
Shipley says that a game recently was |
played at Notre Dame with the center |
line in force, in which the game was
slower instead of faster 1t is difficult !
to understand just why this should be, |
but Shipley gave no reason therefor. but ,
simply said that il was the informa-
ton he had from Notre Dame, where
1t was tried out.
TN connection with rules, 1t might be
i mentioned that the recent foot ball
game played between Columbia Uni |
Hersity and Manhattan College in New
York with the changes in rules in eff
feet virtually made no difference in
the game. From the spectators stand |
point 1t made no change. It was
pointed out in this column last Fall
that about the only change spectators
ever would notice would be if some
player happened to slip with the ball in
the open field, fall and then get up to
run again, in which case he would be
called back. Such an occasion would
be rare indeed, as usually, under the
old rules. when man slipped there was
some defensive player close enough to
him to see that he did not get up and
go on. So much so was that true that
II caused the rule to be changed. De
fensive players were too much in the
habit Of crushing the ball carrier un-
Ger such circumstances, and inasmuch
as the rule makers recognized that the
ball carrier seldom got any gains any,
way. 1t would be Just as well to rule
that he would not be allowed to gain
