We know the story of the
doughty Alexandria youth who
spent the winter on an Albany,
Georgia, milk farm. He went
down there to gain weight. He
drank milk by the quart, gallon,
cask, barrel and hogshead. What's
more he gained weight, and today
at 1855 pounds, he is all a left
handed pitcher should be.
Lets consider the case of
Sydney Cohen. Sid has the beef

mold of pitcher, and he has
chance. A first rate chance we
might say off hand. Standing S

Cohen weighs 1876 pounds. That's
all the size and weight any one
needs to be an outstanding

Despite G. WIS action, the
other local colleges are going
ahead with spring football. Mary
land beat the others to the gun
by donning toys yesterday. The
Catholic University and George
town gridders will be called
out Monday, while the first sum-
mons at American University will
be issued about the middle of
next week. Gallaudet will begin
practice about mid-April. Ses-
Sions at all schools will last about
six weeks.
Bergman in Command
"Dutch" Bergman will be COM
mander-in-chief at C. u, assisted
by "Fod" Cotton, George Vlk and
Eddie LaFond. Jack Faber will
direct the Maryland squad for
three weeks, after which he takes
over the lacrosse coaching reins.
Walter H. Young will handle the
American U. gridders with Jack
Hagerty in charge over at George
town. Hagerty will be aided by
George Murtagh, "Mush" Du-
bofsky, Dick Danner and Dick
Bradley.
Word is awaited from the
George Washington athletic coun-
Gil as to the continuation of
baseball. Lack of a home play
ing field is the big problem and
may compel abandonment of the
sport. intercollegiate tennis will
go forward at G. w.. and there
also will be intramural tennis and
golf tournaments.
Baseball workouts start Mon
day at Georgetown with Ralph T.
Mccarthy again coaching the
team, which sorely needs pitch
ers. In fact, Georgetown needs
capable requirements for other
positions. The two outstanding
holdovers from 1884 are Capt.
Joe Saverine, catcher, and Ed
Hargaden, shortstop.
A. U. Adopts Track
Besides football, American Uni
versity will also have field and
track and tennis. This year
marks the Eagles debut into
track, and an intercollegiate
schedule is being arranged. The
candidates will be tutored by
Prof. Paul Smith, formerly of
Dickinson College. The tennis
players will be coached by DR..
William Holton, chairman of the
faculty athletic committee and
former University of Illinois net
man.
Outdoor track practice began
yesterday at Gallaudet with the
veteran coach, Teddy" Hughes,
in charge. Hughes, who'll be
aided by Wally Krug, is the dean
of local college coaches, having
been at the helm for the Blues
since 1917.
