ABOUT 40 SCHOOLS
IN MARYLAND MEET
Over 400 Athletes to Take
Part in Various Events
on Saturday.
BY H. C. BYRD,

THREE colleges and around
40 high and preparatory
i schools will have more than
400 athletes in competition
at the University of Maryland Sat-
urday, when the Old Line institu-
ton holds its annual Spring field
day. Johns Hopkins In tennis and
track, Duke in base ball and
Rutgers in lacrosse, all against
Maryland teams, are to constitute
the intercollegiate competition,
while the interscholastic track and
field squads from schools in this
section will vie with one another
in the annual interscholastic
championships.
Maryland ought to stand better than
an even chance against Hopkins in both
tennis and track, should be on the short
end against Duke, and probably have
at least an even chanceNn the lacrosse
game with Rutgers. The Old Liners
met Duke at Durham during the Easter
holidays and took nice trimming. On
basis Of comparative performances,
Duke ought to win the bali game with
out much trouble, but II Maryland were
to get = well pitched game 1t may turn
the tables, Is It has q far better ball
team than 1t has shown so far.
D UTGERS Is said to have one Of the
N best lacrosse teams ever to repre-
sent 1t, and IS coming down here
with the sole idea Of taking back to New
Jersey a Maryland scalp. Seven Of the
ten members of the Rutgers team played
against Maryland last year in one Of
the olympic trials, which Maryland
won by to 4. Only five of Maryland's s
ten men in the present line up took part
In that contest.
Maryland was whipped soundly by
North Carolina'S tennis team yesterday,
but there Is a vast difference between
the Tarheel racketers and Hopkins. &C
cording to report. Hopkins track squad
apparently Is not as strong as the Old
Liners.
But while the intercollegiate track.
tennis, and base ball should be interest
ing undoubtedly the main interest, as
far as intercollegiate sports are con-
cerned, will center in the lacrosse game.
Rutgers and Maryland appear we'll
matched and there Is no other Spring
sport that provides SO many thrills OF
physical contact.
THE great majority Of the larger
J. high schools in Maryland and
Washington. also several prepara-
tory schools. are to compete for the in
terscholastic title for this section. There
a.. nlo for h tDh nd
prep schools and closed class for the
county high schools Of Maryland. Sew
eral high schools In Virginia also have
entered teams
TIE base ball game Is the first on the
program. as 1t begins at IL o'clock. 1t
Is the intention to have that finished by
the time the college and preparatory
school athletes get out at / O'Clock
for the beginning Of the field events in
the two meets. The two meets are to
be run concurrently, with the running
events beginning at 80. The meet Is
timed to be over so as to enable the
lacrosse game to open at AIS O'Clock.
Maryland took a whitewash beating
in tennis yesterday from the North
Carolina racqueters. but the match in
which Hines. North Carolina star. met
Zirckel, No. 1 player for Maryland. was
brilliant. Hines won the first, "a.
and the second. t6, after some OF the
best play in which any Maryland man
has ever taken part.
