"A winds up local intercollegi-
ate athletics for the cur
rent scholastic year. Following
the appearance of a few George
town men in the intercollegiates
at Harvard, Friday and Saturday,
and the Maryland-St. Johns la
crosse game Saturday, college men
here will lay aside their uniforms
until they CONS back next Sep
tember to begin foot ball practice.
This afternoon Western Maryland'S
base ball team appears at the Uni
versity Of Maryland in the first contest
of the week. Western Maryland came
here several days ago and took George
Washington into camp, by virtue Of
hcme run by Frank Cumberland, former
Central star, with the bases loaded.
Wednesday the U. Of NJ. nine closes
its diamord schedule with Washington
College, the game being listed at
College Park. Washington College plays
two games, the second being with
George Washington here Wednesday
night. This game marks the finish of
the season for the Colonials. Tonight
G. w. will play the Sixth Marine Re-
serves at Griffith Stadium.
Friday George Washington has
tennis match with Delaware, its last
contest of any kind for the year.
GeorgetoWn's track men are scheduled
to take part in the preliminaries of the
IntercollegiateS and on Saturday Mary
land meets St, Johns at lacrosse here.
Delaware remains over Saturday for a
tennis match with the Old Liners.
EXCEPTIONALLY fast time was
u made in several of the events in
the Southern Conference cham
picnships at Durham Saturday. The
athletes started of by equalihg the
record of 9.8 seconds for the 100-yard
dash, which is fast. If anybody should
ask Incidentally Widnyer of Mary
land, picked as the favorite in that
event, finished third, with Lynn Of
Clemson and Brownlee of Duke ahead
of him. Wexford of V. M. I. wen the
quarter in 1872 seconds for a new
record, Brownlee of Duke set new
mark of 23.8 seconds for the 220-yard
low hurdles, Hubbard of North Carolina
set up new mark of minutes 46.2
seconds for the two miles, and Lewis
of Du'-e turned the same trick in win
ming Il mile in minutes 15.2 seconds.
The Duke relay four ran surprising
race and pulled the record for that
event down by big margin. The time
of minutes 1873 seconds is the fastest
ever made by any southern four.
TN the Southeastern Conference meet
l. at Birmingham, Hardin of Louisiana
State was credited with running the
quarter in 47.3 seconds and is said to
have been so much better than his
competitors that he finished 35 yards
ahead Of his closest rival. This is by
far the most noteworthy track accom-
plishment in the South in years. Tor
rance, another Louisiana State athlete,
hung up another great record by tossing
the 16-pound shot 40 feet 55s inches.
North Carolina made good on pre-
dictions that 1t would win the South
ern Conference championships. 1t did
not get any great number of firsts
(fourl, but its we'll balanced squad
scored points in nearly all events, which
Is what counts more than a few stars
in championship meet.
Maryland's lacrosse team took a bump
at the hands of Johns Hopkins Satur-
day in Baltimore, largely because it did
not have the reserve strength and be-
cause it was much slower. Hopkins
scored four goals in quick succession
near the end of the first half, to wind
up the half with the score to O.
in the second half, to end up with a
count Of 3 against 6. Hopkins players
at times ran rings around the Old
Liners, but the latter played cour-
ageously and at times brilliantly.
In the first half Beeler big, strong
and fast, was in the game against Pugh,
Maryland star at center, and after he
had worn down the Marylander a fresh,
last man was substituted, and by the
time that fresh, fast man had taken
Pugh up and down the field two or
three times Pugh was all in. Hopkins
mas great lacrosse team and deserved
to win. 1t unquestionably Is the great
est IN the country.
MARYLAND had Navy 10 to 3 in the
4'1 last inning of their ball game at
Annapolis Saturday and then got
the scare of its life. Navy rallied and
got three runs across the plate before
1t could be stopped. The Old Liners
about that time began to get visions of
another catastrophe such as they met
IN their diamond contest at Navy last
year.
1t is not often that a college athlete
turns the trick that Cunningham did
on Saturday in the championship meet
IN which Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
ct al took part. He won the haIf-mile
IN l minute 52.2 seconds to set a new
Big Six Conference record, then took
the mile in minutes 1874 seconds, and
TO cap that went out and won the q
mile run in 8 minutes 48.8 seconds
1t Is doubtful if there is another runner
IN the United States who could have
accomplished such feat. As matter
OF fact any one of the three events
would have been brilliant performance
even for the best athletes.
