COACHES HOPEFUL,
BUT EXPECT LITTLE
G. u, C. u. Maryland, How
ard Have Entries-Tennis,
Golf on Boom.
BY III. c. BYRD.

~OACHES of local college
track squads are not any
" too optimistic about the
chances of their teams in
the Penn relay games at Philadel-
phia today and tomorrow, al
though all are hopeful. George
town, Catholic University, Mary
land and Howard University are
sending up relay teams and men
for the events for individuals, but
the competition always is so stiff
that no coach can be blamed for
not expecting too much.
Both Catholic University and Mary
land are entered against opponents that
ought not to be overly strong, but
Georgetown and Howard probably will
have much sterner opposition. Catholic
U. is in some of the events with George
town. Maryland is not because 1t SIM
ply does not have relay good enough
to throw into that kind of competition.
COACH JIMMY MULLIGAN of
~ Georgetown said just before leav-
ing for Philadelphia, that his men are
in good shape and that the best chances
he has are in the sprint medley or in
the quarter-mile or half-mile sprint
relay. Mulligan thinks that one of his
athletes will win the 440-yard hurdle
race, which is the only prediction for
a victory that any of the local colleges
is willing to make. Mulligan just about
expressed the sentiment of the coaches
when he said:
You know what the conditions are
at the Penn relays. You are against the
toughest competition in the country
and the slightest slip means defeat
You may be better than any opponent
Ill your race, yet lose. We have an out
side chance in two or three races, but
it would be foolish to go any further
than that with a prediction as far as
the relays are concerned. 1t is about
the same as big foot ball game, with
the teams evenly matched. You go in
to do the best you can, and you know
that if you win you are just little
more fortunate than the other fellow
THE only base ball game remaining
l. this week is that in which George
town meets Mount st. Marys to-
morrow at Emmitsburg.
Maryland has a lacrosse game at
Rutgers, for which 1t leaves early to-
morrow morning. The Old Liners come
back tomorrow night. 1t will be the
Marylanders' first real test of the sea-
son.
WILLIAM AND MARY was here yes
w terday to meet Maryland in base
toll Il I1f
ter fate than it got. If anything broke
right for the VirginianS, then it was
something under cover. No college ball
team could have seemed to be much
better to get away as poorly as it did.
MARYLAND won, IA to 4, on some good
batting. but was helped along immeas-
urably by the mistakes of the visitors.
In the second inning, for instance. Mary
land got four runs after the William
and Mary first baseman missed thrown
ball right in his glove. And in that
period a two-bagger, to further add to
William and Mary's discontinue. credit
ed to Maryland, was foul by good
margin.
White, William and Mary pitcher, ap-
parently had enough stuff to beat al
most any college nine, but his catcher
did not hold him up very well, there
were inopportune breaks back of him
and he was wild. Maryland scored
three runs in the first inning and Will
liam and Mary three in the second.
And William and Mary might easily
have got three more in that second, as
with three men on ard nobody down a
screeching lined rive, shoe-top high,
was hit down first base way. 1t reeme5
as if it were going safe, but German
made a fine catch and ran back to the
bag for double play.
Davidson for Maryland was wild in
the early innings and was replaced by
Physioc, who held down opposing bat
ters with great skill.
