East Favored
On paper, 1t looks like Z walkaway
for the east, but anything can hap
pen in football, as the last season
Of gridiron giddiness demonstrated.
It is sure to be . great game, de-
spite two factors which tend to hand
leap 1t.
The first Is the fact that the Rose
Bowl game detracts considerable in
terest from the contest. Most Of the
publicity goes to the Pasadena bat
tie. This same Rose Bowl game
cheated the west out Of three AL
Americas-qrayson, Moscrip, and
Reynolds Of Stanford.
The second is the handicap that
arises from the different types Of
coaching the various players have
labored under during their careers.
On both teams you find player1
schooled In the Rockne. Jones and
Warner systems, and even the old
Minnesota shift.
With 80 many different ideas drilled
into the heads Of their charges for
three campaigns the coaches are
faced with the problem Of Installing
their own system In less than 4
month.
Year after year the mentors have
done wonders with the material,
however, and this game promises to
be an even greater display than any
Of the others, due to the wide-open
mania that has attacked football this
year.

Where are the Tigers going to
get catcher, to say nothing OF
a manager, to replace him?
The Tigers admittedly were at
least a first division prospect and
perhaps even a strong pennant
contender with Mickey running
the works. He has few, if any,
equals and no SuperiorS in handl-
ing pitching staff and his bat
puts a wallop in any attack.
Without him, the Tigers will
be just another ball club. Un-
less one of his understudies can
play a mile over his head, the
club without Cochrane figures to
skid so far a derrick won't be
able to lift it.
OF course, the Tigers have Ray

lad with mask and a glove. Good
to his folks and all that but not

Informally, the season starts
today, at College Park, Md,
where University of Maryland
and Georgetown meet on the
diamond. This contest is listed
as a practice game.
Three Maryland teams and one
from Georgetown inaugurate the
spring season.
On Thursday, at College Park,
Maryland's baseballers clash with
Cornell. The second game Of the
series is played on Friday.
Three Maryland teams are in
action on Saturday.
The baseball nine meets Vir-
einia, at Charlottesville. Har-
wards lacrosse team visits Col

lands track and field team meets
Virginia Techs thin-clads, at
Blacksburg.
Georgetown opens formally its

Check On Players
In this afternoons George
town Maryland baseball game,
Coaches Ralph Mccarthy, of the
Hoyas, and Burton Shipley. of
the Old Liners, will have an op-
portunity to check up on their
players under actual competitive
conditions.
More than likely, Georgetown
will have a chance to look over
the slants of Steve PhySioc,
Maryland's star ambidextrous
hurler. The Old Liners will have
o chance to see what they can
do with the curves of a top
grade pitcher, George Nestle.
The Georgetown Maryland game
bids fair to develop into a light
hitting contest, since neither team
has had much of a chance to get
in batting practice.

SPORTS

Boxing HysteriG
Should Not FOLLOW
Virginia Legislation

thickly throughout Virginia in
view Of the legalization of TO-
round bouts in such communi-
ties of the commonwealth as
vote for it through their local
governing bodies.
Boxing centerS across the Po-
tomac from washington are
among those visualized by the
enthusiastic. Apparently the
gold rush is on If one would
heed all one hears.
To listen to the glowing plans
for building indoor and outdoor
arenas here and there, it might
be assumed that there is a lot
of pay dirt in that new Virginia
law.
I fear the dreamers who be-
hold all of this ring activity
have failed to take into conSid-
Grafton one very important
angle, the same being the item
of whence the customers are to
be rallied to support all of these
enterprises.
Putting across a fight club Is
just about as difficult finan-
cial undertaking as any indi-
vidual or group could possibly
wish upon themselves even
when economic conditions are
good.
No Light Task
So the building of fight CEN
ters is nothing to be entered into
lightly, and I do hope that a
boxing hySteria will not spring
up in nearby VirgNlia which
may eventually leave some we'll
meaning but misguided enthusi-
asts quite out on a limb when
they find out there is an absorp-
ton point as to just how much
the public will stand in the way
of ring entertainment.
For instance, if prospective
fight centers in both Alexan-
dria and Arlington county ex-
pect to prosper through Wash
ington patronage with weekly
shows, deficits are almost sure
to result, because the traffic
hereabouts will not permit of
but about one show week
and the Day Nursery people
will tell you there are many
times when the patronage that
often is none too encouraging.
Too, should the District of
Columbia eventually be granted
lega1ized boxing Git is nearer
to it now than it has ever
been before), the ring situa-
ton in this general vicinity
will take on a new front which
will no longer make it neces-
sary for adherents of that sport
to travel outside the confines
of Washington to indulge their
appetites.

BOIUie's Inaugural
Being Run Today
OUer Short Route

Bowie today sounds the first
note Of spring sports here
abouts. The attractive little
plant off the Annapolis-Wash-
ington Highway is due to get
a good play from Washington
TURTLES who are hungry for
the return of thoroughbred
racing.
Unfortunately for the Easter
Monday throng, the possibility
Of any track records being hung
up today are remote, as too
much rain fell Saturday to per-
nit the oval to even approach
being fast. The track this
morning was described as being
merely good.
One of the indications of in
tereSt in the return to Mary
land of the thoroughbreds was
the number of people who found
their way to the track yesterday.
All day long a constant stream
of visitors from both Washing
ton and Baltimore was motoring
into the enclosure to see the
workouts and generally inspect
things.
Three Good Stakes
Besides the $4,000 Inaugural
which has drawn a fine field
for today, three other impor-
tant stakes are scheduled at
Bowie over the next two weeks.
They are the Rowe Memorial
with $500 added, the Bowie
kindergarten at a half mile
for juveniles with an added
value of $4,000 and the South
ern Maryland Handicap carry
ing an extra $4,000 to be run
a week from next Saturday
drawing probably the classiest
field of the four major events,
due to the fact that many Of
the quality horses will be fur
ther advanced in their training
by then.
The Bowie Inaugural is being
run over the shortest distance
this year it has ever been con-
tested since it became the fea-
ture of spring racing there
eleven years ago. Before last
spring it varied from seven fur
longs to six furlongs.
Last year Tired Avon, owned
by Sylvester Labrot, of Annap-
oils, won the event at its long
est distance, a mile and 10
yards. Because horses which
wintered in the North have
been held back in training,
Charles McLennan, race secre-
tary, has routed today's entries
at 512 fur1ongs, the inside dis
tance that has ever prevailed
for the event.
Whence Customers?
One sees and hears that box
ing clubs are to spring up rather
