Lists Double Header.
Maryland comes up with its first
double-header of the year on Saturday
When its lacrosse team plays host to
Penn State and its track team runs
against " NJ. l. The meet will start
at 2 o'clock and the lacrosse game at
$50 and IS cents will pass you through
the turnstiles.
Since the Terp thinclads are
scheduled to run against Washington
and Lee at Lexington tomorrow. it
will be the second meet in six days
for SWede Eppley's squad AS he will
tomorrow. Eppley will depend upon
Frank Cronin in the 100, 22O and pole
vault, Kenneth Barnes in the sprint
events. Alan Miller and Bill Thies in
the 440, Coleman Headley in the half
mile, Mason Chronister in the mile,
Jim kehoe in the miles and Hermie
Evans and Logan Schultz in the
hurdles. Edwin Miller will high Jump,
Francis Kenny and John Beers broad
jump. Nick Budkof and Charlie Nor
rls will put the shot and discus and
Blair Smith and Tom Coleman will
hurl the javelin.
Maryland appears to be exception
ally strong in the running events this
year. Headley has run the half in
1858, Chronister has done the mile in
4:23l and Kehoe has stepped miles
in 1856.
Few Runs Not Enough.
Because so many ex-big leaguers
were found to be coaching college
baseball teams, this was supposed to
have been the year when the college
game dropped its traditionally school,
boy characteristics and put on the
long pants of inside baseball.
Yet both of Washington's collegiate
mines, one of them coached by a for
mer major league star, figure to knock
that theory into oblivion by one SIM
pie medium-base hits.
AS admitted that nothing satisfies
hunger like food is the statement that
nothing wins ball games like runs
You may have the best pitching staff
in the world and a group of fielders
which cuts off runs like scythes, vet
unless you score run or two your
self you'll never win.
Well, Georgetown and MARYLAND
not only have defenSives which stack
up with the best, but run producing
attacks which are calculated to nullify
the best-laid plans of defensive men.
And with each as likely to score as
many runs per inning as the average
team per game, intentions of the
enemy to play smart game are gone
With the Wlnd-of WhiStling hit.
For If your opponent is likely to end
up with dozen runs. what's the use
OF playing the game for one run, and
where the wisdom in bringing in your
infield to cut off a run at the plate?
Terps Are Clouting.
Before he sent his Hoyas into their
first game last Monday, Coach Joe
Judge said it would take six runs to
beat any Georgetown pitcher this
year. 1t would have taken IL in the
opener, for the Blue and Gray scored
10 against Vermont. Coach Burton
Shipley wasn't quoted on his teams
offensive strength before it opened
the season, but in three games the
Terps have scored 38 runs, no less
than 10 in any one game.
AS a group, Maryland's eight regu-
lars are batting the remarkable ave-
rage of .414. The only unusual thing
about the situation is that Bill Bry-
ant, who led all Black and Gold hit
ters last year, with a .424 mark, is
the only one currently below 1868,
having hit safely but twice in IA
times at bat. Lefty Chumbris Is hit
ting .571, George Knepley and Mike
Surgent .461, Eddie johnson and
Waverly Wheeler .428 and Shorty
Chumbris 1863. Hugh Keller and Joe
Crisafuli, who have been to bat less
than 10 times, are hitting .666 and
.428, respectively.
What logic is there in playing a
scientific game against a hit-thirsty
crew like that? Let the enemy get
a run or two and it comes back with
five or six. Last Monday Cornell
held leads Of 10, Ga and 8-6, yet the
Terps overcame each and ultimately
wound up on the long end of 1878
score.
Neither Georgetown nor Maryland
