No contest Is listed tomorrow. but
Wednesday the Virginia nine appears at
MARYLAND. The Cavaliers gave Navy
lacing Saturday on the occasion OF
Navy's visit to Charlottesville.
HTHURSDAY George Washington be-
IL gins again to play base ball. The
Colonials have not made any at
tempt IN recent years to put out nine,
and their experiment will be watched
with a good deal of interest, especially
Is 1t Is to combine something OF series
of side shows with each game. In 1act,
II one were inclined to conjecture. II
might not be far amiSs to intimate that
some Of the side shows may be more
interesting than the games. All the
games are to be played at night. Dela,
ware University is to be the Colonlals
first opponent, and 1t Is coming mere
for two games, Thursday and Friday
North Cardinals golf team Thursday
afternoon.
Seven contests Of one kind or an
other are listed Friday. Besides the
G. W.-Delaware ball game, George
town plays base ball with West Vlr-
Rinia, Maryland takes on Virginia at
tennis, G.. w. has Richmond in a golf
match and goes to Pittsburgh to play
tennis, while Georgetowns golfers jour-
ney to Princeton to meet Dartmouth.
Also on Friday, Georgetown will have
sprint relay teams in competition at
the Penn relays.
CATURDAY both Maryland and
- GEORGETOWN are to take part in the
Penn relays, the former in a mile
"a latter in event at 1ne
same distance, but against different OPP
ponents. Georgctown's golf team re-
mains at Princeton over Saturday TO
play Holy Cross and Harvard, while
George Washington'S racketers stay at
Pittsburgh to play Duquesne. Maryland
will face three opponents, Dickinson IN
base ball at Carlisle, Washington Col
lege in lacrosse at College Park and
william and Mary in tennis at Will
Oamsburg.
Out in Cleveland is young chap OF
the name of Jesse Owens who seems to
be something Of track star. At least
he has the makings. In meet Satur-
day he ran the lO0-yard dash in s.6
seconds, equaling the world scholastic
record, and, besides that, won the broad
lump and the 220-yard dash. BY the
time that young man is a senior In COL
lege he ought to be able to get along
fairly well. Right now there probably
are not more than five college men IN
the United States with any hope OF
running century as fast as Owens ran
Saturday. And Owens is said to have
run against the wind. There are good
many hard-boiled college track coaches
who might be inclined to say that the
timing possibly was not as perfect as 1t
might have been.
TT Is extremely doubtful if lacrosse, as
i now played with 10 men on short
ened field, is going to be as inter.
esting as last year, when it was played
with II men on long field. SATURDAY
NAVY and MARYLAND, for the last 10
wears among the best four or five teams
in the country, gave about as good a
demonstration Of the new game as has
vet been seen, and it was not partic-
ularly impressive.
About the only factor in which the
new game seems to be little superior
u that one team or the other is con-
stantly pecking away at the other S
goal. There is practically no middle
feld play under the new rules. AS soon
as q team clears the ball away from
its own goal there is hardly any chance
that 1t Will De prevented Iaklue Iie
offensive and shots at its opponents
goal 1t may be that as the new game
becomes a little more familiar. with
its rapidly changing attack from one
goal to the other, It will be more in
teresting, but not much that is favor
able has as yet been said, either by
coaches or by spectators, over the game
of last year. incidentally, it might be
mentioned that the lacrosse game was
q real battle until Navy broke some
what about the middle Of the second
half and allowed Maryland to ring up
goals very rapidly.
While Navy was taking a trouncing
from Maryland in lacrosse, its track
team was administering the same dose
to the Old Liners in that sport. Wild
myers victories in the 100 and 22O
and the showing of other Maryland
runnenrs in these two events were the
bright spots as far as Maryland was
concerned. Navy won by a big margin
and did so because of its well balanced
team. In the hurdles. distances and
field events Navy had all the ad-
vantage.
