For May 5th

University Of Maryland's annual
field day, which this year will be stag
ed on May 5, is going to be fully as
pretentious an any of the popular
affairs that have been held AT College
Park In the past.
Az usual the affair will comprise
not only the interscholastic track and
field meet the basis Of the occasion, but
Maryland varsity teams will oppose
collegiate rivals in four sports and one
Old Line freshman squad also will
be seen In action.
Maryland varsity athletes will meet
West Virginia in baseball, st. Johns
in lacrosse, Catholic University in
track and Johns Hopkins In tennis,
while the Old Line yearlings will
stage a dual meet with Gallaudet.
While the schedule has not been
completely worked out, 1t is probable
that the ball game will be played be-
fore luncheon and that the triple
track activities will start at 1890, a
half hour earlier than has been the
Nhstom.
The lacrosse game with st. Johns
will climax the days program, with
