Four Local Colleges to Be
Active in Wide Variety
of Events.
BY H. C. BYRD.

AppllCdDlc III any ScIAc W IOChl
college athletes today and to-
morrow. The young men who
wear the colors of Georgetown. Mary
land, American University and GAL
laudet are going to have plenty to
hold their attention in the competi-
ton scheduled in various sports in
different sectors of the South Atlantic
section.
Take Georgetown, for instance. Its
base ball team goes to Annapolis to
hook up with Navy in Q game the
local school would like very much to
win; its tennis team will be at Nor
gantown to play West Virginia Uni
versity, and its track squad meets
University of Richmond at Richmond.
And for neither of the Blue and
Gray squads is there likely to be an
easy afternoon.
Maryland has all four of its Spring
teams in action, with the ball team
meeting Washington and Lee today,
its lacrosse ten playing Navy tomor-
row In what is pretty sure to be one
Of the biggest games Of the year in
that sport, and the tennis and track
teams at Williamsburg, Va, for con-
tests with William and Mary.
George Washington entertains Della
ware University in a tennis match
this afternoon, while the Georgetown
net players are at University Of Pitts
burgh. Today American University
engages Gallaudet in dual track
meet and tomorrow plays Randolph |
Macon at tennis. Gallaudet, after its |
track meet with Gallaudet this after
noon, Is scheduled for another meet |
tomorrow with Washington College at |
Chestertown.
Besides these varsity contests, |
Georgetown and Maryland freshman
teams also have several games. the
first year men Of both schools being
due to take the field in diamond and
court competition.
CoAcH EPPLEY Of Maryland is OF
I the opinion that Little of Will
liam and Mary Is the most
versatile and most valuable track ath-
lete in the East in q dual meet, per- |
haps in the country. In at least four |
events Little stands almost an even
chance for victory in the majority OF
meets-the two dashes, the broad
jump and javelin. And he is pretty
good in some other contests If he
elects to take part. He generally is
the high scorer in every meet in which
he is an entrant. Eppley says OF his
dual meet with William and Mary to-
morrow: Take Little out of the meet.
and there would not be anything to it.
but with him in, we're going to have
hard time winning. He's almost a
track team himself"
Hargaden Of Georgetown Is q far
better pitcher than his record at the |
end Of the season Is likely to show.
Cool and easy on the slab, he works his
game as if he knows jsut what he Il
doing and why. He is not easy to
hit, and very seldom is wild. With |
q consistently good fielding team be-
hind him, Hargaden would Be un-
usually successful.
THE Johns Hopkins lacrosse team
does not seem to be as strong |
this year as In recent seasons. |
The whole Hopkins athletic situation |
is problem of rebuilding. and, under |
good conditions, it may be that this |
process of rebuilding will be much |
faster than anybody now would regard |
as possible. Actually, there is a great |
opportunity for Hopkins to develop |
its athletics from an intercollegiate |
viewpoint, and some time it will do |

its own people. That is. unless the |
university were to decide to adopt |
virtually a graduate system of edu-
cation and depart from its policy Of |
the last two decades Of building up |
its undergraduate work.
Pitcher Rogers of Virginia Is re-
garded as the best slabman in the
Southern Conference, notwithstand- |
ing Duke has one said to be slated
to 60 to the big leagues Immediately
after he graduates. Rogers latest
feat was banking Navy, to o, last
Wednesday, game in which he struck
out eight Of the first nine men to
face him.
NORWOOD soTHoRoN, in wind
IN ing up his athletic career at
the University of Maryland
carries with him one distinction that
will be hard for any man ever to
surpass, that Of not only having o
fine competitive spirit but also .
sense Of loyalty and q disposition
that few men possess. Sothoron's
attitude in foot ball, in base ball, in
lacrosse. in basket ball, in all Of
which he won varsity letters, always
was about as perfect as any coach
could desire. Every man who has
had contact with him, either as coach,
as teammate or as opponent. has
