- EORGETOWN'S base ball
team leaves tonight for a
~ trip North, on which 1t
xL~on rorooc prov.


" trip North, on which 1t
plays three games. Prov
idence college is to be its oppo-
nent tomorrow, Boston College
Friday. and Holy Cross Saturday:
The Blue and Gray usually has ended
its schedule with this trip, but this year
is PLAYING so few games that it was con-
sidered wise not to wait until the last
of May. Actually. only two more con-
tests remain-North Carolina May 10
and Mount st. Mary's May II, both
here. ~.
Georgetown should consider itself
lucky If it wins two Of the three games
on its Northern jaunt. 1t has not been
playing through the kind OF hard
schedule that develops strong mines
and probably has not had anywhere
near the number of contests its three
opponents have. And it is games that
make ball teams.
George Washington plays tonight at
Clark Griffith Stadium. following the
opening of the Capital City League
The amateur league mines take the fleld
at 7 o'clock and the collegians imme-
diately after that game Is concluded.
Salem College is George Washington's
opponent.
THE extra round in college boxing
i to decide winner when the ref
cree Is of the opinion that the first
three rounds are tie is q thing OF the
past At recent meeting OF the Rules
Committee of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association, the findings OF
which govern all college meets, 1t was
InL hat vy-oc
continue to send the collegians through
the extra round, because Of possibilities
of injury or other harmful results to
fatigued men, and that the referee,
when he feels that tie Is the result at
the end Of three rounds, shall declare
q draw with the point split.
Another change is that which will
prevent a star fighter in one class
stepping up to fight in the next higher
weight class Many times good light
weight has been showed up to dght In
the welterWeight class simply because
his coach thought he could win against
that particular opponent The Rules
Committee was of the opinion that
man should not go 10 pounds above
his own weight for a match.
The college boxers are to be allowed
a maximum overweight of four pounds.
Last year some schools allowed three
pounds, while others four. Next Win
ter a boxer who tips the scales at 139
pounds will be allowed to box in the
135-pound class. A weight limit is set
for the heavyweights, with 180 pounds
as a minimum. No man under that
weight will be allowed to box as
heavyweight. However, it will be all
right for a 185-pound man to go up
against one weighing 200, it being held
that a difference in that division within
those limits does not mean SO much of
q disadvantage.
Another feature in the rule changes
Is in the size of the ring. There has
been no standard size, and schools have
used anything from Is to 20 feet. Next
Winter all rings will be standardized at
30 feet.
IF the University Of Maryland can de-
! velop a javelin thrower, a weight
man or two and a pole vaulter it
will have next year by far the best
track team since it has been taking
part In that sport. Its group CT run
ners should be able to overcome almost
any other group in the section, and its
showing in dual meets should be ex-
cellent, without doubt, If it can build
up men for the aforementioned
events
1t Will have Wldmyer, Quinn ana
Smith in the 100 and 220 yard dashes.
One Of these men has done better than
10 and another has equaled that for
the century. 1t will have Evans,
Sonen and Archer for the 440, Cronin
for the half. Beers and Slye for the
hurdles, Beal and Ashton for the mile,
and Devendorf for the two miles. In
the quarter the Marylanders should
be better than so seconds, in the half
better than minutes. in the mile
better than minutes 30 seconds, and
better than 10 minutes in the two miles
Slye and Beers tied in the high
hurdles in freshman meet at 1876
seconds, better mark than any other
Maryland runner ever has attained
The Old Liners will have the runners
next year, and it is up to them to
develop something in the way of
athletes for its weak spots In the field
events.
MARYLAND'S base ball team has
VI been hitting the rough spots. but
when it really got ready to play a
good game 1t certainly made good. Yes
terday it took Washington and Lee into
camp by 4 to 0. in one OF the best
played college games seen here in years.
Ray Davidson pitched the shutout
and allowed only five hits.
Jarrett of Washington and Lee was
almost as good. Maryland got all its
runs in the eighth inning.
