TERPS WILL RACE
IN PENN CARNIVAL
Quartet Now Can Do About
3:25-Widmyer Is Entered
In Century Dash.
BY H. C. BYRD.

LAND will send to the
~ Penn Relays this Spring
the fastest mile team that
has represented the university
since 1927. Right now any four
Of the five men trying out for the
quartet can cover the distance
around 8 minutes Is seconds,
which is a good many seconds
better than any team OF the last
few seasons could do.
Coach Eppley will pick his relay from
Cronin, Archer, Quinn, Sonen and
Evans. What four of these five will run
he does not know, and will not make
decision probably until two or three
days before the games. However, Epp-
ley Is not bothering good deal about
the selections. because he says there is
little to choose between any two OF the
i've. Every one Of the five can clip
close to 81 seconds and one or two may
perhaps shade that.
While only four men will be chosen
70 run, the chances are that the fifth
man also will make the trip. Two OF
the candidates, Archer and Cronln, are
from Hartford County. Evans from Hy-
sttsville, Sonen from Central and Quinn
from Tech. All had high school track
experience before entering Maryland,
with the exception Of Sonen.
Besides the fve men from whom the
relay four will be picked. it is certain
that Widmyer also will go to the Penn
fanaes. He has been entered to COM
pete in the century dash. and should
stand about as good q chance to win as
any Of the other sprinters.
incidentally, Maryland will not have
4 very good track team this Spring:
that Is, Tor dual meets, but next year
may blossom forth with one OF the
strongest outfits it has ever had: In
this years freshman squad, not eligible
Tor varsity competition until year
should plug some Of the weakest spots
IN the varsity.
MARYLAND opens its home program
IVl OF Spring sports tomorrow. with
Penn State in base ball and Uni
versity Of Richmond in track. ootn
freshman and varsity; The Old LINERS @
believe they should have one OF the
best ball teams that have represented
them In years, as most Of the men
from the 1882 team are again in the
Nne.up and one or two others VINO
seem to have ability.
MARYLAND should stand an even
chance to win from Penn state, out
nrobably will lose to Richmond, espe-
cialiy II Richmond Is as strong as IT
vas last year. The track meet ana
bali eane will begin at the same time,
: o'clock. There will be no admission
charge.
nAY VAN ORMAN, coach of lacrosse
X st Johns Hopkins. Is not at all
satisfied with the new rules IN
that sport, particularly with the idea OF OF
playing on q held shortened to 80
Yards and with only 10 men. He feels
that the field should be 90 yards and
that IL men should be used.
II base my opinion about the 90-yard
field instead Of an S0-yard field," SAID
Van Rorman, ION our experience on tne
Pacific Coast last year in the Olymplcs
In our games out there 1t was neces-
sary to play on a oo-yard field because
there was not room for the regulation
length. On that field, with II men to
q team. we had one Of the most beau
tiful games Of lacrosse I ever saw.
The slightly shortened field caused faster
and more Quick-changing play, and l
made up my mind at that time to rec
ommend to the Rules Committee a
change to the 90-yard field.
However, the committee went me one
better and cut down the length to 30
Yards. and, in my opinion, it is not
working out SO we'll The team without
good stick handlers and without a good
srort-passing attack will be lost IN this
new game, because new game IT Ger
tair,ly is. In some respects we are haV-
ing TO change our whole theory OF both
defense and offense. And, furthermore,
let me tell you that the team without
some fast defense men is going TO oe
out OF luck, too, because there is going
To be a whole lot more running OF the
bali this year, as there are so much
shorter distances TO be covered
