College baseball and lacrosse will
vie for District patronage tomorrow
with most athletic events involving
the Capitals collegians taking place
on foreign fields.
Locally, Georgetown will seek its
fifth diamond victory of the season
when it faces Lafayette on the Hilltop
field at 3 o'clock and the newly
formed Washington Lacrosse Club will
play its first home game at Central
Stadium at $50. G.. US tennis
team also will make its seasonal debut
at home against st. Peters.
From Philadelphia to Lexington, Va,
however, lacrosse, track, golf and ten
mis- will occupy the attention Of ath-
letes of Georgetown, Maryland, Catho-
lie and American Universities and
Gallaudet. BY far the greatest con-
centration will be at Philadelphia
where the Penn Relays enlist all five
schools
But at Rutgers, N. j., Marylands
lacrosse team will play its first away
Trombone game of the season; at
Alllidpolio, SCOl SCIO"Ilo SlSdU SOll
team will match strokes with the
Navy: at Lexington, Marylands unde-
feated tenniserS cross rackets with
v. M. l., and at Hampden-Sydney,
American U. does the same thing with
the Tigers.
Card Slim, But Snappy.
Though not the biggest day Of the
season here. the two events on local
fields should prove of more than pass
ing interest. Now that Georgetown
how to hit, it is in earnest about con-
tinuing what they hope is the begin
ming Of new winning streak started
Wednesday against Temple.
The lacrosse game at Central in
which several old faces who used to
star for Maryland will be prominent,
also promises to be attractive for
devotees Of that sport. Although it
dropped a 7-3 decision to Nays B
squad last Saturday, the washington
team entered that game without prac-
tice three days prior. Now in better
form and with one game under its belt,
1t has served warning on Virginia to
expect hot game. Admission will be
40 cents.
New Card Gridmen Shine.
Preparing to be honored at ban
quet at the Shoreham on Sunday
night, when of the IL members of
Catholic University's first football
team in history are expected, the Car
dinals also are preparing to wind up
their spring training tomorrow
Theirs has been the longest of any
local squad, but the six weeks practice
hasn't been any too long for Coach
Dutch Bergman. who has a squad
full of sophomores on his hands. Dutch
says that the squad is shaping up
fairly we'll" but is in special need
of reserve linemen.
That scrinlmage at Charlottesville
on wednesday, when the Cards scored
1877 victory over the Cavaliers,
brought several candidates for next
falls eleven into the spotlight Nick
Saralas, sophomore, looked very
good in the backfield, as did another
soph, Charlie Moutenot, who carried
the Cards to their first touchdown in
four plays from his own 35-yard line.
Corrig, a sophomore end. also i'm
pressed Bergman, and Joe Guyon
seems to have improved greatly.
If you see kindly-faced white
haired gentleman of the cloth keeping
score at GeorgetoWns baseball games
you can almost be sure it is Father
Vincent McDonough. Formerly G..
US moderator of athletics before
Father Keogh took over that posi-
ton, Father McDonough is a rabid fan
and keeps as neat score as any one.
Pep Young's Arm Goes" Fast.
Incidentally that Temple game in
which his team met one coached by
Pep Young, the old Detroit second
basenan, recalled to Joe Judge how
Young was forced to quit baseball. 1t |
happened quicker than you could say
"skat," for in warming up one day
in infleld practice, Young finally found
he couldn't toss a ball farther than 6
feet. Doctors couldn't determine what
was wrong and to this day the sudden
end OF Pops career remains a mystery.
AS far as We know, W. w. Wheeler.
long a prominent worker on the Pres
tdent's Cup regatta and national pub
hcity director Of the American Power
Boat Association, hasn't missed a
Maryland or Georgetown baseball
game this spring.
Wheeler is one of the three grad
yates Of Ohio Wesleyan who shares
With the Cards Branch Hickey the
honor of having been elected to Omi-
cron Delta Kappa, national honorary
fraternity, after his graduation. Al
though never a ball player himself,
Wheeler had twice as many activities
as required by o. D. K. specifications,
having managed the Wesleyan foot
ball team and having been sports edi-
tor OF the college newspaper.
He Is no relation TO Waverly
Wheeler, the Terps' third baseman.
