y SITY OF MARY
LANDS annual Spring field
~ day Saturday will be the
mecca of lacrosse followers
from all parts of this immediate
section, as indications are that
again the lacrosse championship
of the country will be settled at
that time. st. Johns, which won
the title last year, defeated Mary
land by 2 to /, and took what
proved to be the decisive contest.
Now both st. Johns and Maryland
loom strong, and their struggle,
for such it should be, may be the
most dif1cult hurdle for either to
take.
St. Johns and Maryland each has a
clear record for this season. Both have
defeated all opponents by good margins,
and Saturday they made excursions into
the North to bring back clear-cut VIC
tories. AS the game sizes UP right now,
their battle ought to represent just
about the highest development of the
game.
nRIoR to the st. john S Maryland
lacrosse game. Maryland meets
Johns Hopkins in a dual track
meet and has as its guests the high ana
preparatory schools of the section In
its annual interscholastic meet. The
interscholastic meet and dual meets are

The Maryland interscholastlcs nave
been run since 1910 and each year has
shown an increase in number OF en-
tries and general interest. The meet

county high schools of Maryland ana
the other open to all prep and high
schools, with certain restrictions as to

TN regard to lacrosse, it seems again

that the best lacrosse teams OF
the country are centered In Maryland
again Is to be borne out Last week
four Northern twelves went down be-

of the Old Line state. st. Johns gave

MARYLAND took Rutgers into camp by
10 To 2. while Army and Massachu-
setts Tech, which visited Johns Hop
kins and Navy, went back with defeats
by 4 to l and "A to O. AS compared
with the brand of play in Maryland,
these scores do not indicate very mucn
In favor of the Northern schools. Col
gate and Massachusetts, Teen nave
never had very strong combinations,
but Rutgers and Army always are
among the three or four very strongest
teams north of the Mason-Dixon line.
In fact. seldom are Rutgers and Army
surpassed by any Of their Northern op-
ponents. Saturdays defeats for them
by Maryland and Hopkins were their
first Of the year and may be their last.
UNIVERSITY OF v1RGINIA's track
" SQUAD is here today for a dual
meet with Maryland. Both var
sity and freshman teams are to COM
pete. The chances are all In favor OF
VIRGINIA walking away with the hon.
ors' as Maryland hardly has the
strength in either the running or the
field events to match up with the Cav
alters. The events are TO begin about
O'Clock.
MARYLAND has two ball games this
lVl week. tomorrow with Wake Forest
and Thursday with Duke. The
Old Liners are going along now at
good gait, with excellent pitching, and
should stand an even chance in both
contests, Duke is said to have about
the best college pitcher in the country,
In the person Of Jack coonbs, nephew
of Jack Coonlbs, former Philadelphia
Athletics pitcher. now coaching at
Duke. The Duke-M Maryland game
ought to be about as good diamond
battle as one may see this year among
the colleges in this section.
MOT one of the local colleges brought
IN back a victory from Penn relays.
Catholic University and George
town came closest, the former getting
a second In the 440-yard hurdle race
and the latter finishing in that posi-
ton In its relay event.
The outstanding feature OF the meet
was the one-mile championship relay
won by Pennsylvania to break the meet
record. Penn did mile in just
fraction over 3:15, to lower its own
former mark of 3:18 Jack Edwards.
former Tech High School runner, was
a member of the Penn team, and did
his quarter In 49.4 seconds. 1t was
predicted while Edwards was at Tech
that he would develop into fine quar-
ter-Y1iler and he has.
