BY LEWIS r. ATCHISON.

A group of former collegiate Ia
crosse players, you know the boys
who run around with mayhem in
their hearts and butterfly nets in
their hands bashing one another
over the skull, are going to reor-
ganize the Washington Lacrosse
Club next spring and try to popu-
larize the old Injun pastiIne.
Joe Deckman, a Maryland alum
nus and an all-American in his
undergraduate days, is one of the
key men in the movement. Joe
happened to glance down the other
day and couldn't see his feet. The
view was obstructed by a prosper
GUS bulge around the waistline. and
the added architecture wasn't in
accordance with his idea of how a
Deckman should appear, so he got
busy.
Others in Same Fix.
There were others afflicted with
similar signs of prosperity, symp-
toms of dropping arches, shortage
of wind, and touches of lumbago.
All agreed lacrosse would be a SPORT
ing way to regain their boyish
waistlines or get killed in the at
tempt. Thus, the only obstacles to
be cleared now are the election of
officers, scheduling of matches, and
outfitting of the club.
1--WE have enough veterans and
new blood" said Deckman. Ito whip
up pretty good team. Some OF our
bows haven't been on their feet since
the depression and others are just
off the campus, but figure we can
get a team good enough to knock
off Mount Washington, the Baltl-
more A. c., Maryland and a few
other top-notchers.
IF we lose the scores won't be
bad enough to disgrace us and well
have a lot of fun. But I don't think
we'll lose many games and l think
we might popularize the sport IN
Washington. Folks here really aren't
familiar with the game like they
are in other cities, like Baltimore
for example. Over there the boys
don't play baseball in the spring;
they play lacrosse.
"It's really a faster game than
ice hockey, although the players
can't run as fast as hockey players
move on their skates. The action
itself, however, mean passing the
ball, charging through with it and
all of the rest of it-has hockey
skinned a mile"
Deckmans list of candidates is
impressive and he boasts they have
enough Spartan blood to abide by
gruelling training regulations.

He leads off with Bus Pfau, the
solid rock who once tended goal for
Maryland. Nothing was on the

Out Of Event for
Griscom Cup

One of the major features of the
Eastern Women's golf championship,
now scheduled for Baltimore June
l1-l3. will be missing next year
when the fair sex try to conquer
the tricks and twists of the Five
Farms course.
The Griscom Cup matches, usu-
ally held in conjunction with the
tournament, have beeen divorced
from the Eastern, and Washington
and Baltimore women will not have
the chance to play for the big cup.
Competition in previous years has
been held for the Griscom Cup
among feminine teams from Phila-
delphia, New York and Boston.
The Baltimore tourney entries
will come from all sections of the
East. The event is sure to attract
many national stars.
All the top feminine players of
Washington, provided their clubs
join the Eastern Association, are
planning to compete.

for the first time in many years face

other camps lead many to believe
that the title fight will be the closest
