PPARENTLY Johns Hopkins
n and Maryland are getting
~ set again to fight it out be-
tween themselves for the
lacrosse championship Of the
United States. For the last two
or three years, their game has
just about determined high
honors and, unless something un-
expected occurs when they meet
next week, the same honor will
be at stake. At least, this Is the
way the situation now sizes up.
So far Hopkins and Maryland have
cut their way through their opponents
with astonishing ease. Hopkins got a
battle in part of its game with Army.
but won by good margin, while Mary
land in its contests with Navy and Rut-
gers was on the short ends Of scores
for awhile but came through to win
with several goals to spare.
Saturday the Hopkins Mount Wash
ington game was called off because OF
the bad weather and Ray Van Orman,
Hopkins coach, came over to watch
Maryland play Rutgers. After the
game Van Orman said. well, 1t looks
like another battle for us, without
much to choose either way, because I
believe Maryland is stronger than it was
last year, while we may not be within
shade of as good as we WERE"
In their first game last year Hopkins
won from Maryland easily, but in the
second, the playof for the Olympic
honors, the Old Liners led until the
last five minutes, when they slumpeu
and were beaten.
D UTGERS has about the best
N lacrosse team that it ever has
turned out. Saturday it had the
better of the game with Maryland for
all the first quarter, the latter being
unable to drive the ball into the net.
However, the Jerseyites were not In as
good shape as the local ten, or at least
were not able to stand the gaf as well,
and later in the game things went all
Maryland's way. incidentally, the con-
test was anything but pink tea, both
teams indicating a willingness to rough
things up. Evidently there were several
men in the game who have had at one
time or another some excellent 1nStruc-
ton in taking out secondary defense
men in foot ball, and if they can do as
well next fall should not have much
difficulty, making their respective
elevens.
Washington and Lee and Virginia
Polytechnic Institute are scheduled to
play here, today. the former at George
town and the latter at Maryland, but
there is hardly any chance at all for
either game to be played. Grounds al
ready wet from rains of Friday night
and Saturday, are not likely to be got
in shape this afternoon even If the rain
Of this morning discontinues. The same
holds good for the William and Mary
Maryland tennis match.
