it, seems to be in store for
George Washingtons squad
this Spring as well as next
Fall.
Wednesday the Colonials get out
for their first Spring practice and,
If the intention of the coaches
counts for anything, they face the
most difficult series of workouts
they have ever had at this time
of year.
Apparently the squad will be sent
through its PAGES just about as II 1t
were getting ready for 'real games.
The two vacant spots on the schedule
have been filled, one with Catawba Col
lege here for the opening September 80
and the other with North Dakota UNI
versity at Grand Forks October, 6. After
these contests come consecutively games
with Clemson. Auburn. West Virginia
Wesleyan, Tennessee, Washington and
jefferson, Tulsa, and North Carolina
State. And these games are likely to
tax to the utmost the energies OF the
local school, even if it does have avail
able for its 1888 team some excellent
material.
TWENTY-ONEm members of last Falls
i varsity squad and % members of
the freshman squad. will take part
in Spring training and be asked to re-
turn for early workouts in the Fall.
Probably the best of the varsity hold
overs are Johnny Baker, quarterback;
Finis Parrish, Mig McCarver, halfbacks;
Chris Doose. fuliback; Ozie Wray and
Hardy Pearce, tackles, and Stewart and
Hickman, guards. The best men from
the freshman squad are Kathleen, CEN
ter; Kolker and Harris, guards; Volk-
man and Deming, tackles; Wonder
Bruegge and Renefied, ends; Plotnicki,
quarterback: Leemans MorrisiSon, half
backs, and Drury and Bomba, fullbacks.
The only local boy in the list to re-
turn is Kolker, former Tech High tackle.
He probably will be used at guard, and
it is expected that he will make good.
Kriemelmeyer and Blackstone, formerly
OF Tech and Central, were members OF
last years team, but both have finished,
Spring practice will be largely under
the direction of Leon Walsh, general as
sistant coach to Jim Prixley. 1t Is the
intention of the coaches at this time
to give the squad much rougher series
of workouts than were encOmpaSSed in
Spring practice last year. The whole
aspect of the practice will be that of
squad getting ready to play foot bali.
WITH two such milers on its 4-mile
w relay team as Gene VenZke and
Carl Coan. and two others of the
ability of McKniff and Dean, there
should be no surprise that Pennsylvania
broke the worlds indoor record for
4-mile team in meet at Buffalo Satur-
day night. Not only that, but it should
come pretty close to turning the same
trick outdoors when the same four men
face the mark in the 4mile champion
ship event in the Penn relays. The new
record Is II minutes pit seconds, which
clips about % seconds off the old record.
TEORGETOWN not only did itself
" proud in the closing game OF its
basket ball schedule, but deserved
unusual credit for its achievement in
beating Carnegie Tech because it pre-
dicted it would, even after it had been
defeated out at Pittsburgh. The Blue
and Gray put on regular thriller, too,
in making good, scoring 4s points
against the visitors Al. Very few bas-
ket ball games, with so many points
scored, wind up with the two teams only
two points apart
1t has not been brilliant season for
Georgetown, as far as victories are con-
cerned, as it has lost more games than
1t won: but it played good basket ball
from the first game on through. 1t
seemed that in some of the contests
the team just could not get under the
wire, as it was nosed out by bare mar
gin. Georgetown has little in its season
for which it should feel regret, and its
achievements in its last two games
against Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech
deSprUn cnpriQ1 tiOr1
DY the end of this week, there should
- be more real driving foot ball prac-
tice going on than has been known
to these parts in many years, perhaps
more than ever has been known. The
University of Maryland is going through
some hard Spring workouts for the first
time. and intends to keep on with them
until it develops something of what
1t may expect next Fall. Catholic Uni
versity and Georgetown began last week.
and George Washington gets under way
Wednesday. American University also
plans for some strenuous play the last
of this and next month, SO that actually
five universities by the first of April
will be banging away with their squads
in fashion that should make it seem
very much as If Fall practice were
starting. AS a matter of fact, Spring
practice virtually is part of Fall prac-
tice, as the squads usually take up in
September where they leave off in April.
EARTHER South. many of the schools
l. are finishing Spring foot ball. They
are able to get on the field earlier
almost all Winter, and aim to wind up
before Spring sports get very far along
in their development. Some of the
South Atlantic institutions are having
the longest and most thorough drills
in their history. Especially is this true
of Virginia. where the great majority
