field day competitions to-
morrow hold the center
of the fullest week end of con-
tests local colleges have had this
year.
Fifty-three high and preparatory
schools are entered in the inter-
scholastic track and field meet, while
four colleges and one high school
engage either Maryland varsity or
freshman teams
The program at Maryland involves
almost everything in way of Spring
sports except golf. Here is the way
the events are scheduled;
1890 a.m-Tennis, Maryland Fresh
man VS.. Eastern High.
1890 pm.-Interscholastic track
and field meets.
1890 p.m.-Dual meet. Maryland
Freshman VS.. Gallaudet Varsity.
100 p.m-Dual meet, Maryland VS..
William and Mary.
100 pm.-Base ball. Maryland VS..
West Virginia.
100 pm-Tennis, Maryland VS..
William and Mary.
400 pm.-Lacrosse, Maryland VS..
ST. Johns.
In all about 600 athletes will take
part in the various forms of competi-
ton. More than 400 are entered in
the interscholaStic meets and the
others in the various intercollegiate
events. From a standpoint of num-
bers the annual field day this year
goes way beyond anything of former
seasons, and some high-type perform
ances are certain.
Certainly no other track athlete in
any former meet has been able to
achieve such records as Little of Will
liam and Mary. In the dashes, 100
and 220, the javelin throw and broad
jump, Little is about as good as the
best specialists in each. Not many
athletes can equal him in any one
of these contests. He has done 100
in 9.8, the 220 in 22.3, thrown the
javelin 1877 feet and broad jumped
"a feet 414 inches
Tech High is said to stand the best
chance OF any school to win the open
tnterScholaStiC meet, while the closed
events for county high schools of
Maryland seem to be almost toss-up.
ing an edge.
n ESIDES the events at Maryland
u tomorrow, Georgetown, George
Washington and Catholic Uni
versity all are scheduled for contests
of one kind or another. GeorgetoWn's
base ball team goes to Mount st.
Mary's College and its golf team to
Philadelphia to meet Williams in the
morning and Brown in the afternoon.
George Washington entertainS Wake
Forest in base ball, and Catholic Uni
versity Journeys to Baltimore for a
dual meet with Johns Hopkins
Georgetown's nine has West Vir-
ginia as its guest this afternoon. while
George Washington's base ballers are
at Chestertown for a game with
Washington College. Two other
Georgetown teams have matches to-
day, the tennis with William and
Mary here and the golf with Yale,
Philadelphia.
DROBABLY the sternest battling in
the Maryland Spring field day
events will be seen in the
ldCIOoS6 I'LL D6IW6Sn OlO
and St. Johns. Neither has lost to
q college team and both apparently
are stronger than usual. 1t seems to
be the feeling of both schools that
the game may decide the intercol-
legiate championship. although that
may not take into consideration Hop
kinS as much as it should.
Tomorrow's contest is the first of
the three difficult games with which
Maryland winds up its schedule, the
other two being Navy and Hopkins.
Hopkins has another fine team, and
if the Old Liners come out on top
against ST Johns then the setto in
Baltimore May 19 with the Blue Jays
is likely to be about the most popular
thing in the way of a lacrosse game
played in Maryland in many years.
TT is more than probable that one
of the rules under which the Mary
land meet is conducted will be
rescinded after this year. Many of
the big prep schools wanted to send
teams to the meet tomorrow, but
could not see their way clear to do
so because of Maryland's rule that no
athlete who has graduated from high
school is eligible to enter.
Many of the athletes in the prep
schools are in this class and none
of the big schools desire to split its
