Maryland Stickmen
Tune Up in Clash

Maryland's lacrosse squad staged
a scrimmage game with the Loyola
College stickmen from Baltimore
yesterday at College Park. looking
to the opening test with the power
full Mount Washington club in the
Monumental City Stadium next Sat-
urday.
The Terps' heavy losses left them
with the least experienced outfit in
many years, and the team naturally
is short on development.
Maryland's tentative first team
that began the scrimmage against
the Baltimoreans. coached by Jack
Kelly. former Terp all-America
goalie. was as follows:
John Muncks. goal Leo Mueller,
point: Bob Brown. cover point Mil
ton MULTI, first defense: Gary Todd,
second defense; Bill Cole, center:
Jim Meade, second attack; Oscar
Nevares. first attack; Fred Hewitt,
out home; Jordan Sexton, in home
MULTI, Hewitt and Meade are the
only regulars left from last season.
Todd and Sexton are rangy sophs,
while all the others are reserves
from year ago.
Muncks and Jack Grier are just
about certain to divide the goal
tending job. while Bill Bond, Jim
He'll and George Lawrence. other
1898 leftovers, and Jack Mueller and
Chick Allen, sophs, appear due for
much action.

Fight Over Maryland
Black Bass Bill
Due Tomorrow
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpeSaoi DASpatSil " AHc StaA.
ANNAPOLIS. March 26.-The
controversial black bass bill will be
considered by the Maryland House
of Delegates tomorrow. having been
forced out of committee by petit
ton after an unfavorable report had
been voted and the measure shelved
The proposed law would prohibit
the commercial netting of black
bass, the States most important
fresh water game and food fish. and
also would set new season limits. It
had been backed for seven years by
nearly all of Maryland's sporting
organizations. but until this session
they have been unable to bring it
out of committee.
Proponents of the bill far out
number those opposing it, but the
opposition comes from group OF
Cecil, Kent and Caroline County
commercial fishermen who claim 1t
would ruin their livelihood. Those
favoring passage of the measure
point out that more than 40 other
States prohibit commercial netting
of black bass. After hearing both
sides the Fish and Game Commit
tee voted an unfavorable report and
then passed a resolution that not
even the report would be brought
out.
Sportsmen, however, obtained the
necessary IS signatures on Friday
to a petition to bring the bill out
without a report. But opponents OF
the bill managed to stave off an inn
mediate clash by obtaining House
approval to make it a special order
of business Monday night, by which
time they hope to marshal their
forces. Despite the relative unim-
portance of the subject as compared
to other matters before the Legis-
lature, tomorrow's discussion is ex-
pected to be one of the most heated
battles of the session.
