Change in Weather Helps.

MYTH the advent of what prom
w iseS to be good weather for
a while, the kind of weather
for which coaches of Spring teams
have been hoping, local college squads
should be able to settle down to a
few days of real workouts before they
60 out into generally formal compe-
tition. Base ball, lacrosse and track
teams this week have their first form
al game, and not one of them is in
very good shape as far as teamwork
is concerned. The weather conditions
have been worse for outdoor practice
than at any other time in the last 10
years. Some of the big Northern
mines that come this way, with work
In their cages behind them, may be
in better shape than the local schools.
Georgetown and Catholic University
will hold no Spring foot ball practice
this week. The former does not begin
until April 9, while Catholic Univers-
ity has let its squad go home for the
Easter vacation. The Brooklanders
plan to get back on the field a week
from today. Spring foot ball has
suffered like other sports from I'M
favorable conditions, so much so that
80 far very little has been done.
North Carolina State College has
no track team this year, it is re-
ported, but it does have in school a
discus thrower who can heave the
plate 155 feet and shotputter who
can toss the sphere more than As
feet. North Carolina State may not
have a track team, but if it has in
college many men of the caliber of
Mort, the discus thrower, and Rex
the shotputter, about all it would
seem to need is few uniforms.

Spring Teams in Poor
Shape to Start.
BY II. c. BYRD.

DI II. u u ND'
IF COACH ED MORRIS op-
timism is a true criterion OF
what may be expected from
George Washington's base
ball squad, the Colonials this
Spring should have a team
capable of making all the other
college mines sit up and take
notice.
I'VE have some ball players this
year, especially pitchers, and are
going to have good team" was the
way the c. w. coach this morning
expressed his opinion of the outlook.
Last season we made only a half
hearted attempt to put out nine.
but somebody is going to watch our
dust in the next six weeks unless I'm
badly mistaken"
The George Washington pitchers
and catcherS were the first to begin
practice, working out indoors for
some time before they got on the
field at all Among the pitchers are
several men who should fare well
against college mines.
Most likely of the pitching staff
now working out are Bill Tarver,
Dick Nichols, Calvin Griffith and
Archie Scrivener. The first mentioned
was so good in high school down in
Texas that he was sought by profess
sional clubs, while young Griffith got
his experience in prep school in
Virginia and worked out against
batters at his daddy's ball yard.
Nichols comes from the Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School. while
Scrivener is a youngster from Alex
andria, who has had considerable eX-
perience in sandlot ball.
Outstanding for other jobs on the
team are Ed Fitzgerald, first base
man: Jay Payne, first baSeman and
outflelder; Gene Carnes, first and
outfield; Everett Russell, who may
play third base, and OTIS Kahn, Sec
ond base Don Bomba of foot ball
fame is pretty sure to do the back
stopping.
The ColonialS are scheduled to
open their season April 9. one week
from today, with University of YER
mont, and Coach Morris is likely to
find himself hard put for sufficient
time to weld his men into team
The weather conditions have made
1t almost impossible to get in much
outdoor work. Many of the big
Northern schools are better fixed
than the universities in this section
for early Spring practice, in that
they have cages with dirt floors in
which to stage normal infield work.

Shows Vast Improvement.

CTOEFEN may cut large figure in
y the selection of the team which is
to sail for England in June. Dur
ing the past year he has reached the
semi finals at Wimbledon and in the
American national championships and
has continued to improve during the
Winter, winning the national indoor
title and recently capturing the At
lanta invitation tourney after a great
semi-fnal battle with Lott
The abilities of the others are
pretty we'll known. Lott has been
on every Davis Cup team but one since
1923; Allison has played both singles
and doubles in the international COM
petition, and Shields and Wood were
singles players on the 1881 team.
The preparation at Merton, noted
for its fine grass courts, is expected
to provide valuable training for the
interZone finals and challenge round,
both of which will be played on VIM
bledOn'S turf.
