Cards and Eagles

Collegiana's last big Saturday of
the 1938-39 school year will be
marked here tomorrow solely by
the second georgetown Maryland
baseball game at College Park, but
important lacrosse and track events
will affect vitality athletes of three
local schools out of town.
However, more than the usual
number of patrons of college ball
game should be in the Maryland
stands for contrasting reasons. A
certain proportion would be on hand
to cheer the Terps in their try for a
tenth straight win which would give
them one of their finest diamond
finishes in Maryland history, while
another group is eager to see the
Hoyas get revenge for a beating at
the hands of the Old Liners.
Georgetown supporters hold it
was Maryland's 4-run rally in the
ninth inning of that first game
which beat their favorites. 8-4, and
started the Hoyas on a downward
path from which they have had
some trouble recovering Mary
lands victory in that game, on the
other hand, started winning streak
which now has reached nine
straight.

the call. Both worked against G.
U. in the first game Coach Joe
Judge is expected to counter with
Vance Powers, who held the TerpS
in check up until that fatal ninth
and has been Georgetown best
pitcher this year.
Over in Baltimore, Marylands la
crosse team will strive to finish the
season unbeaten in collegiate ranks
as it tackles Johns Hopkins. AL
though the Jaybirds' record isn't
quite as impressive as the Terps
the Baltimoreans are said to be
after their old rivals scalps and
would relish nothing better than to
spoil the Terrapins' record.
Terp Stickmen Nurse Injuries.
Because Bill Cole, Maryland S
regular center. suffered a dislocated
shoulder in the Navy game last
week and a few others have not
fully recovered from the pounding
taken in the strenuous tilt, the game
may be extremely tough.
Coach Jack Faber is of the opin-
Ion that his team will need eight
goals to win from Hopkins which
he declared has one of the best at
tacks in the country.
Marylands track team also will
be busy competing in the Southern
Conference meet which started at
Chapel Hill, N. c., late today.
Maryland's thinclads are unbeaten
in dual competition but North Caro-
lima is the favorite with the Terps
and Duke equal choices for second
place.
