~EORGETOWN has the Tenn
pie University nine on the
" Hilltop today to wind
up the shortest base ball

up the shortest base ball
schedule it has ever played, at
least, in recent times. Incident
ally, the game is the last athletic
contest of any kind for the Blue
and Gray for the current year,
except whatever competition it
sends men for to the intercollegi-
ates in California.
Georgetown has won 6 of the II
games it has played.
1t is fairly sure that Lindquist, who
pitched brilliant game against
Marines Friday, will be back on the
slab tomorrow in an effort to get the
game necessary to make a winning
team for the season.
Georgetown got late start in base
ball, the weather being such as almost
to preclude practice during the period
when local mines usually are getting
under way in good shape. And with
the inability to get the men in condition
early, the Blue and Gray was hard hit
in the matter of schedule through fall
ure Of big Northern schools to make
their annual trips this week. The short
combined to put damper on diamond
activities on the Hilltop, pretty much
as the same factors contributed to
about the same situation on other col
lege campuses in this section.
WITH Georgetown's wind-up today,
w the only intercollegiate competi-
tions remaining for local colleges
are base ball and lacrosse games Mary
land is to play with Navy at Annapolis
on Saturday. The Old Liners have been
going along well in both sports and the
two contests with Navy should be just
about as good competition as usually is
seen in these sports. Maryland won
from Navy last year in both base ball
and lacrosse.
WITH the laying away of base ball
w uniforms and only few more
days left of the current school
year, Graduate Manager Murphy OF
Georgetown already is turning his mind
to the beginning of foot ball next Fall.
Tom Mills, of course. will have charge
of foot ball again, and, so far as any
body knows, there never was any inten-
ton on the part of anybody that he
should not have. Mills turned out
good team and, through about as hard
a schedule as any team plays, made
good record. Georgetown need wish for
no better man to fill the shoes OF its
head coach.
Frank Kerejes, freshman coach last
Fall, Is to be one of Mills varsity as
sistants when the squad gets out in
September. Frank Leahey, who helped
Mills last season, is to remain, while
Charley Brickman, one of the Blue and
Gray varsity linemen in 1881, Is due to
coach the f1rst-year eleven.
ONE of the most unexpected results
~ that has taken place in athletic
competition here in many years
was the defeat of Jack Edwards in the
40O-meter dash in the A. A. U. track
and field meet here the other night by
Gayle McGuigan of Catholic University.
Almost everybody thought that when
the men lined up on the starting mark
it would be just case of how far
Edwards would win, but the actual race
developed anything but that. Nc
Guigan got the jump with the gun, with
Edwards right at his heels. He was
yard or two ahead all around the curve,
but at the end of the back stretch Ed
wards pulled up almost even. He
dropped back on the curve again and
then tried to get out in front down the
final stretch. However, the c. U. boy
had too much in reserve and, with
fighting spirit that kept him his short
margin, broke the tape a winner. His
times was less than so seconds. Incl
dentally, McGuigan's victory was ex-
ceedingly pleasing to Catholic Univer-
sity men, and his teammates rushed to
the finish line to congratulate him.
Edwards was member of the mile re-
lay team at the University of Penn

EARL WIDMYER, who has been
IL cleaning UP the century and fur
long daShes for the Maryland
freshman track team this Spring,
should have brilliant future in COL
1ege athletics. He is a strong runner
who has the build and stamina to do
enough work to develop much more
rapidly and to a greater degree than
others not so well blessed. There is
not much doubt, unless he fails
to come up to expectations, that Wild
myer should better the 10-second mark
in more than one meet next year. He
should clip around 10 fiat for the CEN
tury in nearly all his races, sometimes
a tenth of second over and sometimes
a tenth of second under. Widmyer
also has good possibilities as foot ball
player. At halfback on the freshman
team last Fall he was the chief ground
gamer However, in foot ball, while a
good ground gamer, he has almost
everything to learn about defensive
play.
THE basket ball league recently
i formed in Maryland is expected to
stimulate competition among the
colleges of that State, and, more than
that, is looked upon as the finest kind
of a factor in the development of better
relationships. 1t is no secret that the
feeling among the colleges of Maryland
has not been at all times the best, but
in late years has been getting better
and better. The new league is expected
to give the schools contacts which
should prove about the most valuable
medium the State has had for the build
ing of a mutually helpful spirit.
AS now contemplated, the league will
begin operation next December with
Johns Hopkins, Washington College
Loyola, Mount st. Mary's and Western
Maryland as members. 1t is understood
that the University of Baltimore also
is seeking membership. The league
also ought to be very valuable in the ar
rangement of schedules, as each school
is to play the other twice, in home-and-
home games.
Tom Kibler, athletic director al
Washington College, is the leading light
in the organization. 1t was he who
conceived the idea, and who got repre-
sentatives of the schools together ir
Baltimore to form the organization.
