stright college victory.
Hoyas Make One Change.
One change in Georgetown's lineup
which has started the first two games
will be seen when the nine takes the
field at 3 o'clock. Joe Mellendeck, a
hard-hitting inflelder with q powerful
arm. will assume Tommy Keating' s
position at shortstop, Keating moving
over to oust young Joe Moran from
the second sack.
Although Moran won't admit It.
Judge Is convinced that the son of
the ex-big Lacquer Is hiding an injury.
He not only has not been fielding up
to the form he showed In preseason
practices but he has failed to hit in
either game. Mellendeck, on the other
hand, widened Judges eyes the other
day when he hit ball clear over the
road in left-center field. The smack
came of Bureau Of Investigation
pitcher in a practice game. 1t was
one of the longest hits ever seen on
the diamond back of the medical
school,

Interest in Track Meet.
Plenty Of interest is being worked
up at Catholic and American Univer-
stiles and Gallaudet over their triang-
ular track meet at Rrookland on
Saturday. Although the Cards are
favored to repeat their victory of last
year, 1t promises to be fairly close
this week end. The reason for that
Is that a lot OF c. US track material
Is still in spring training with the
football squad and thus will not be
available Saturday.
AS a matter of fact, Coach Dorsey
Griffith is depending heavily upon four
freshmen-in the sprints, hurdles and
pole vault. Roger Cooper, who was at
st. Johns Prep here last year, is his
outstanding sprinter. with Leo Wall
and John Corbett flashing form in
the hurdles and Paul Donahue in the
field events.
Griffith also is depending upon his
captain, Corrado Goffredi, to cut loose
IN the pole vault this year after a 1887
campaign which was an almost COM
plete loss for Goffredi because of
rheumatism. Two seniors, Bill Weldon
and Clements, will run the middle dis
tances for c. u. with Pirro and Car
VelaS carrying on in the weight events.
A. u, which finished in second place
last year Is points behind the Cardi-
mails. Is expected to make more of a
