~ row, with Lafayette as its
opponent. The game is tc
be played at $3.50 on the new Hill
top diamond adjacent to the new
Medical School Building.
With the bulk of it's 1881 team

task confronting u.s." said Graduate

ought to be in about as good shape as
any of the mines in the North, especially
those that do not have cages in which
to get their early Spring workouts"
Coach Clayton Sheedy, coming back
TO the Hilltop for the first time since
he starred at first base several years
ago, has taken well with the men and
is showing that he not only has base
ball knowledge, but that he can get
his stuff across to the players. Sheedy
is saying practically nothing about his
prospects, but does not seem to be

Mulligan thinks that Burke will win
the hurdles in the Penn relays, and
that he has a chance to represent the

been done on the Central High track,
and Mullgan plans to continue to use
that track or the Maryland track all
during the season.
MARYLAND, with about the best

getting started. Last week it took two
bumps down in North Carolina and
