! games this week, with

test, and a glee club concert. In

Wake Forest seems to be the most
formidable team George Washington
will meet this season. The Baptists up
to the present have clean slate, with
apparently the strongest nine in their
section. Preceding the Wake Forest
game is to be held the base ball car
rival, to consist of throwing batting
and base running contests for all ANA
teur players in the District
West Virginia always has fairly
good ball team, and probably is better
than George Washington. unless the
latter is stronger than in its opening
contest with Delaware A band contest
for all the boys bands in the District
is to be staged Immediately before the
first West Virginia game, and the
George Washington Glee Club will give
the concert in connection with the sec
ond contest Friday night.
TACK ESPEY. publicity man extraor-
dinary for George Washington, says
that I'VE want to make it clear that
George Washington is not holding
these affairs, but that they are under
the auspices of the civic authorities,
and We are simply taking part to help
out to the best of our ability. All
money received at the gate goes to the
civic fund and George Washington
does not share in it at all
Marylands track team, both fresh
man and varsity, is at Charlottesville
this afternoon for dual meets with
Virginia The old Liners expect to do
fairly well in the running events, but
feel that Virginia has entirely too much
margin for them in the field competi-
tions.
Neither Maryland nor Georgetown
was able to come through at Penn Sat-
urday. All relay teams were whipped
and Widmyer, Maryland sprinter who
was considered to have about an even
chance for victory, finished second by

of fact, the event was so close that at
first Widmyer was announced as Win
ner.
nENNSYLVANIA'S mile relay team
+ wen the most coveted honor OF the
carnival when it finished first In
the mile race. The time was eXcep-
tionally fast, fraction over 3 minutes
II seconds. The event was interest

ple, the first in that Jake Edwards,
former Tech High School man, was
member of the four, and second, tnat

lyn. is said to have done his quarter IN
47.2 seconds, which probably is the
fastest time ever made by couege re-
lay runner on Franklin F1elo.
Navy wound up its Spring foot ball
Saturday with a regular game. Inc
varsity showed remarkable improve
ment. according to report, and the
squad as a whole seems to be the pest
for next year that Navy has hao IN
long time. Coach Rip Miller ex-
pressed himself as well pleased over tne
results attained since the WORKOUTS oe-
gan early in March.
IOPKINS and Maryland, now gen.
i / orally regarded as the two strong
est lacrosse teams in the East, won
again Saturday. Hopkins whipped Army
at West Point by to 2. and Maryland
svamped Washington College. How
ever. Maryland's showing probably was
net quite as good as Hopkins IN one
respect, in that it seemed unapie 70
