Hoya officials, who are exceed
ingly hopeful that their team

may be pressed into service before

Sheehan, second base, and Mario
Gregorie, substitute catcher.
Coach Burt Shipley, of Mary
land, is undecided as to his start
ing pitcher tomorrow. The Terp
forces have been idle since the
middle of May due to inclemeAt
weather and later, examinations.
However, a practice game today
will afford Shipley to select his
probable starter from Earl
Springer, Bill Steiner and Lefty
George Wood. ..~
In all probability it will be
Steiner, who blanked the HoyaS
for eight innings in the first game

THEIR RECORDS
For the season coming to a close
tomorrow, Georgetown has won
8 Of the IL games played, while
Maryland has been victorious In
II of 10 tits this season.
Both teams started the season
in suspicious fashion and then in
activity forced on by the early
spring rains put a crimp in daily
workouts with the result that be.
fore the season was near closed,
the preseason expectations were
somewhat nullified by setbacks.
Both teams had veteran ma
terial on hand with Georgetown,
by reason Of it's undefeated record
of last year, figuring to have prac-
tically q duplicate Of last seasons
sensational success. But along
came that Maryland defeat to up
set the applicant.
So tomorrow, regardless Of all
that has gone before, the game
looms as the most important for
both teams which win be seeking
victory at any cost.
