HOYA NINE LOOKS
TO HARVARD TILT
Awaits Test Friday After
$40 Trimming Is Handed
Western Maryland.

= TILL untested, but with Friday
~ looming as the day of enlight-
enment, GeorgetoWn's base ball
- team was off to a start today
rarely equaled by a college nine Of
this city.
A $40 victory, recorded in five in
nings over Western Maryland, which
got but one hit off two Hoya pitchers,
might furnish some kind of a COM
mentary on the type of ball club Joe
Judge has built at the Hilltop, but
for one thing-the doubtful caliber
Of the Terrors.
Whether Georgetown can show the
same kind of stuff against major
foe like Harvard, which slaughtered
G. w. here yesterday, will be de-
termined only Friday, when they clash
on the Reservoir Road diamond. In
cidentally, Judge may have pulled his
first bit Of collegiate strategy when
he refrained from using George Nicke-
taks, the G. U. pitching ace, in the
opening game, preferring to save him
for the Northerners.
Terrors Get Lone Hit.
As 1T was, Mike Petroskey and
Hank Bertrand came through
with near-perfect slabbing. Petroskey
turned the enemy back hitless for the
first four innings and Bertrand gave
up lone single in the last two frames.
Each issued one pass. Both, more
over, were leaders in Georgetown S
23-hit attack, Petroskey banging out
two doubles and triple and Bertrand
smacking one Of the three home
runs credited to the Hoyas.
Harry Basin, former Eastern High
School ace, was the real hitting star,
collecting five for six, including
a homer. Joe Keegin. another East
ern product, slammed the third round
tripper and got himself triple besides.

had his ears pinned back by eight hits

Bill Lanier and George Macy were
no better, each surrendering half of
Harvards eight other hits during the
remainder of the game. Seven of the
winners sixteen blows were triples.
In contrast, G. w. was held to six
scattered blows by Ingells, who was
making his seasons first start along

"A YEW YORK, April TN the
course of week, touring
N among Spring foot ball prac-
4 tice camps, the writer has
encountered, without exception, the
stressing of lateral passing, which, II
the past is any criterion Of what will
happen next Fall, will be suffered to
fall into the category of an occasional
surprise maneuver, generally nef-
fectiye
Harvey Harman of Penn, Fritz Cris-
Ter Of Princeton, the Pond-Neale COM
bination at Yale, Dick Harlow at Har-
ward, Jimmy Crowley at Fordham, Lou
Little at Columbia-they are al stress
ing the backward pass into the offenSe
as a primary element just now.
Princeton may show something neat
in this respect when the next foot ball
season comes around, something grow
ing out of snapper on the end OF
forward pass when two or more inter-
ferers are doWnfield with the receiver.
Little Offers Novelty.
7 OU LITTLE is applying a novelty
at Columbia, but at best, even If
these plays are sound, they will not
figure often in any important game.
And this is not at all what the
Rules Committee envisioned when it
sanctioned the lateral pass. Fearing
that foot ball was taking on too much
the character of basket ball, it hoped
that the back pass would divide i'm
portance with the aerial, and hence
/ diminish its commanding characteris-
tics. And with a wider gridiron-say.

edly would have happened.
! AS it is, the forward pass has not
suffered at all as perhaps the most
important, as certainly it is the most
| spectacular, phase of foot ball game,
with the lateral something less than
secondary, except at Minnesota.
So 1t will probably be this coming
season-except, again, at Minnesota.

HOLLYWOOD, May 10.-Moth-
ers should think primarily of their
children and not of themselves
when they celebrate Mothers
Day, May Robson said yesterday
in a special message. The famous
old actress, herself a grandmoth-
er, said too many mothers are
"nrone to overlook the fact that
the children are brought into the
world without being consulted"
For this reason it is important
that mothers help make their
childrens' journey through life as
pleasant and easy as possible, p"
Miss Robson asserted. "Oh, do
not mean that mothers should be
drudges, or that they be so lenient
as to make their children weak in
character. Still mothers should
never cease towards working to-
ward winning children's love.
Motherhood is the greatest joy
and satisfaction that woman can
have in the world. And with the
true conception of love and re.
sponsibility no mother need feel it
is a thanklesS job. Love is the
answer to happy motherhood. For
