~ ARTMOUTH and Penn State
send their base ball teams
here tomorrow to face Mary
- land and George Washington
at College Park and the East Ellipse,
respectively, and despite an impressive
victory in its only start Maryland was
apprehensive over its meeting with the
Big Green.
All because the Terps were reading
today how Dartmouth numerically
walloped Hampden-Sydney yesterday
by a 24-3 score on the Virginians'
field. Dartmouth scored 10 runs in the
first inning, 5 in the second, in the
third and S more in the sixth Only
is hits we're made by the New Hamp-
shire team, however, which profited
from eight Hampden-Sydney errors.
Mclaughlin Slugger.
MARYLAND is expecting to send
either George Wood or Dale Pat
terson to the box in an effort to stop
the visitors, especially Mclaughlin,
the second baseman, who had per-
feet day at bat yesterday with home
run, triple. double and single in four
trips to the plate. Dartmouth's two
pitchers, Ray and Lane, held Hamp-
den-Sydney to four hits.
incidentally, it will be the first Of
two Dartmouth teams which Mary
land vii be called upon to face in two
days. the Terps opposing the North
erners in dual track meet at College
Park on Saturday. Dartmouth also
loomed powerful in that sport yester-
day, running up an 1888 score on
North Carolina.
George Washington, hoping it has
found last seasons form as a result
of its victory over Long Island Mon
day, hardly knows what to expect from
Penn State. A victory over the Nit
tany Lions, though, would raise the
Colonials' percentage to an even 500
and give them confidence for the
games with Harvard, Boston Univer-
sity and Washington College next
