graves for sports writer's but
~ nevertheless inject a healthy
shot of strychnine into the local
sports parade, will be unravelcd for
the twentieth time tomorrow at Col
lege Park in the Terps' annual field
day.
A panoramic glimpse of the situa-
ton will find interscholastic athletes
from 48 schools inaugurating the
plump program with track meet at
noon, to be followed an hour later
by dual track meet involving the
varsity squads of Maryland and Will
liam and Mary and a tennis match
between the Terps and Catholic Uni
versity. The varsity track meet will
be run concurrently with the scholas-
tic events.
If, perhaps, your sports appetite has
not been satiated fully by that time,
you may saunter over to the base
ball field and witness Maryland en-
counter GeorgetoWn's crack team at
o'clock. A lacrosse game between
the Old Liners and Syracuse, one of
the bettern Northern tens, will climax
the card at o'clock. Put one buck
on the line and you can take your
PICK or see them all.
Plenty of Attractions.
WHlLE the base ball game doubt
less will attract fans, due to it's
strictly local angle plus the caliber
OF both teams, the scholastic track
meet looms as a rival, with more than
400 athletes primed for concerted
assault on records, which with the
exception Of the county school marks,
stand an excellent chance of sur
viving.
Both Mercersberg Prep and Bel Air
High, open and county champions.
respectively, last year, will have tough
tlmes defending, with every man on
both teams who collected points last
season absent this year due to gradua-
ton. Twentyone of Bel Airs
81 points last year now are with the
Maryland freshman squad in the
persons OF Jack Archer, Roland
Hulshart and James Kehoe.
Jeopardizing Mercersberg's chances
OF repeating will be such teams as
Eastern, Tech, Central and Roosevelt
OF Washington and Baltimore CITY
College, Gilman County School, Forest
Park, Mount st. Joseph's, McDonogh
and Baltimore Poly of Baltimore.
Bel Airs chief threats loom in
Hagerstown, Allegheny, Hyattsville
and Bethesda Chevy Chase.
D. c. Schools Contenders.
Roosevelt recently gave some indi-
cation Of its strength by whipping
Forest Park, 1896, and has outstand-
Ing performers in Ollie Atkinson.
Truman Lancaster and Napoli, all of
whom captured two events in that
meet. Central, Eastern and Tech
also have shown we'll in dual and
triangular meets this season and may
surprise.
Twenty-Five scholastic track and
held events will be staged, with 13
open, 8 county and a mile relay race
for members of the Maryland Inter-
scholastic Association rounding out
the card. Thirty-nine of the As COM
peting schools are within the State
of Maryland.
Despite the formidable array of
talent, present records seem likely to
stand. Marks established by Brooke
Brewer of st. Adams in the 100 and
220 yard dashes of 0:098 and O:224
seconds, respectively, and a broad
jump record of % feet set by Lawrence
Sullivan of Baltimore Poly have re-
q iy,
years of competition.
Terps Seek Revenge.
SWITCHING over to the ball game,
We find Maryland seeking to
atone for a 81 shelacking received
from the Hoyas last week when the
Terps' regular pitching staff was
suffering from a severe case of over
work in Southern Conference games,
thus necessitating the use Of three
second stringers who hit Georgetown
bats rather frequently.
Tomorrow, however, Maryland will
be at full strength, with Dale Patter-
son, ace of the Terps" twirlers. Coach
Burton Shipley's mound selection.
Coach Joe Judge of Georgetown will
counter with Mike Petroskey or Hank
Bertrand in an effort to bring the
Hoyas their seventh consecutive VIC
tory.
Lacrosse fans will focus their glim-
mers mainly on Charley Ellinger,
whose feeding of the ball last week
proved prominent factor in swamp
ing st. Johns, It's. Although Syra-
high-scoring triumverate of Rip
Hewitt, Jim Meade and Bob Nelson
give the Terps the edge.
