~ORNELL'S base bali and

come here this week to
~ open the Spring season
in intercollegiate sports. Both
Northern universities meet the
University of Maryland, the
Ithaca nine in games tomorrow
and Friday and the Crimson ten
Saturday. The two base ball
games are to begin at 4 o'clock
and lacrosse at 3.
Harvard, while it does not play
until Saturday. is due to reach Col
lege Park tonight. The Crimson men
are slated to remain until Sunday
night and will spend the time before
the game Saturday in taking four
workouts, two tomorrow and two Fri
day. 1t will be about the only real
training Harvard has had an oppor-
tunity- to get this year. except what
it-has been able to do i'm cage.
Conditions here have been pretty bad
fdr training outdoors, but up in New
England have been much worse.
cornell originally was scheduled to
meet Maryland in only one ball game,
Friday, but when it was found that
it had an open date the Old Liners
agreed to take on a second contest,
notwithstanding that it makes their
early schedule very difficult.
After playing Cornell, the Maryland
squad is to leave for Charlottesville,
where Virginia is to be met Satur-
day. Monday the Old Line team
plays Duke at Durham, Tuesday,
Richmond, at Richmond, and Wednes-
day, William and Mary, at Williams
burg. Then. with only one day in
tervening after returning, will face
Virginia for second time.
Neither Cornell nor Harvard has
sent down any regular lineup for the
games to be played here. probably
because neither knows exactly what
men it may use. The chances are
that several shifts will be made by
Cornell in the course Of the two bal
games. especially in the pitchers and
catchers. And it is certain that both
Harvard and Maryland will use a good
many men in the different positions
in the lacrosse contest, as it is doubt
full if any of them will be in shape
to go through a full game at top
speed.
