BAER AGAIN LOOMS.
AS HEAVY MENACE.
Former Champ Turns Back
Clock as He Gives Farr
Decisive Beating.
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, March 12-The clock
has turned back to another day. and
once more the two Makes, Baer and
Schmeling, stand athwart the path
of heavyweight champion. Max
Baer. the golden boy, has fought his
way back to the heights.
1t took IS rounds Of blistering ac-

Welshman, to do it. In those As

the arrogant, smiling Baer who wal

righthand puncher who felled Car

around the ring
Baer did more than pull himself
almost level with Schmeling in taking
the decision. He proved to the 1922
fans, who booed him roundly, when
he entered the ring. that he had
something left, enough to batter Farr
to the canvas three times. a feat that

Of the event in 1885, '36 and '37,
tonight's field OF entrants Is the
finest ever assembled for the meet,
with almost 400 athletes from six
States competing.
The first trial heat will start at
7:30 O'Clock. with the last main event
scheduled to get under way some four
hours later.
Because OF his great showing against

Saturday night. Maryland's Mason
Chronister Is certain to attract most
of the attention in the Rectors 1000

program.
Chronister Is Favorite.
Finishing only two seconds behind
the great miller. Chronisters time of
AIS indicates that he has an excel
lent chance of breaking the c. U.
meet record for the 900 established
by Ray Conger in 1881 with a time of
2:22.4. Most of Chronister's opposi-
ton is due to come from Vinny Braun
of Georgetown and Bill Morse of
Duke. The latter is the Southern
Conference indoor champion in both
the mile and 2-mile events and has
proven exceptionally tough for all
Terp runners this winter.
Second in Importance only to the

drawn star dash men from Navy, VIII

apparently is the man to beat. as
he has won every event in the two
meets in which the Middies have par
ticipated this winter. He also ran
the fastest time of any sprinter in
the Southern Conference games when
he qualified for the 6O-yard dash in
6.3. only 10 of second short of
the world record. Revis. Dukes
Southern Conference indoor title
holder, also is entered in this event,
along with Began of Georgetown,
Frank Cronin Of Maryland and Hill
Of A. U.
Because Maryland, Georgetown and
Penn State appear the most evenly
matched Of the foremost contenders. it
is possible that the capture of the
team trophy will depend upon the
evenings final event, the l-mile inter-
collegiate relay.
Mile Relay in Sections.
This, however, will be run in sec-
tions, with all three contenders in diff
ferent sections. Maryland will run
against Duke and N. Y. u. George
town against Villanova and Washing
ton and Lee and Penn State against
G. U. and Delaware. First. second and
third positions will be determined bv
the time of finish of each.
The nights most amusing race
promises to be the metropolitan area
football relay, in which gridders from
Georgetown, George WASHINGTON.
Maryland, c. U. and A. u will race
with foot balls being used instead of
batons. First runners will toe the
mark with the football held in their
teeth and no holds or blocks will be
barred
