= are criterion. The boys are romp-
ing around like frantic young colts
In a varied assortment of haber-
dashery getting ready for big
spring program. They habitually
rush the season and usually retreat
to the gym once or twice before
getting outdoors permanently, but
they seem to be out to stay.
Maryland leads the rush to the
great open spaces with squads drill
Ing in football, lacrosse. baseball and
track. The week will bring out
George Washington's grid and dia-
mond teams, Georgetown's baseball
forces, and trackmen at American
o.. Gallaudet, Catholic U. and pos
sibly Georgetown. Coach Hap Har-
dell Is expected to lay off the Hoyas
after their successful winter season
before plunging into preparations for
the outdoor campaign, but it will
be hard to keep them idle.
Gene Shields, George Washing
tons new line coach, checked in yes
terday afternoon and went into a
long huddle with Head Coach Bill
Reinhart. They discussed players
and plans for spring practice at
length. Shields, a gentleman in his
late 30's, Is quiet and methodical and
should f1ll the bill nicely.
G. w. to Have Largest Squad.
Reinhart will have the largest
squad in George Washington history
\ on the f1eld-58 in ALL Only a half
dozen varsity men are graduating
and Ray Hanken is sending up a
raft Of promising freshman material
to plug holes and generally bolster
the squad.
The Colonials will use the polo
neld as soon as it is ready, but will
start and probably spend two days
on the field Immediately adjacent to
the Bureau of Engraving.
Maryland staged a dress rehearsal
yesterday with sham battles in base
ball, lacrosse and footballN Messrs.
Jack Faber, AL Woods and Al Heagy
are satisfied with the gridmens
progress and have them in high gear.
Every player on the squad from the
lowlleSt sophomore to the brightess
senior star must serve at least one
more week before the grid coaches
begin excuSing them to participate
In spring sports.
Ofensively both "A" and "B"
teams shone in yesterdays game,
played under game conditions. The
Terps are bringing back the double
wing, Marylands strong suit when
Curley Byrd was at the helm, and
thinks it will add T. N. T. to the
seams punch. 1t should be espe-
sally effective on passes.
Terp Backs Work Smoothly.
Bernie Ulman, Mearle Du Vail,
Punch" Widener and Joe Murphy
comprised the backfield used on the
0rst team at tho start.
Burt Shipley is having his troubles
Ia baseball with Second Baseman
Adam Bengoechea the lone holdover
from last year. "Ship" must replace
such standouts as George Knepley,
Eddie johnson and Shorty Chumbris,
and you don't bump into their kind
every day. Newton Cox, bespectacled
drst sacker; Dick McHale-up from
the freshman nine-and Bill Eng
land, who is being changed over
from an outfielder, are the out
standing candidates for the berths,
but there is nothing permanent in
Shipley's arrangements at this writ
ing.
The squad is abundantly supplied
with pitchers. Earl Springer, who
won seven of eight games, and Per-
shing Mondorff, who lost only once
IN seven starts, will be the back
bone OF the mound corps. Flanking
them will be Leon Vannais, a rookie
with an Al recommendation: Max
Hunt and Charley Woodward.
. springer and Vannais are south
paws.
Catching chores will be we'll taken
care OF by Bob Burns, a veteran,
and Du Vail, a sophomore.
Hugh Keller, Fritz Maisel and
Burton Culver, all seasoned players,
appear virtually certain of landing
the regular outfleld assignments.
Good Talent for Lacrosse.
In lacrosse, Maryland lost Jim
Meade. all-America ace; Rip Hewitt.
the squads leading scorer with 26
goals. and Gary Todd, defense man
Who left school, but hopes are high
Tor another winning combination.
seven regulars and two near-reg-
elArs are back in Jack Grier, goalie:
Leo and Jack Mueller, points: Mil
oon Multz, all-America first de-
tense: Bill Cole, center, and Jim
He'll, Bill Bond, Jordan Sexton and
Oscar Nevares, attack.
George Lawrence, defense. and
Chick Allen, attack, are highly cap-
able leftovers. Goalie Mark Kellv
Barton Hewitt and Bill McGregor.
midf1elders, and AL Slesinger, attack
are recruits from the 80 yearlinr
squad expected to fit into varsity
shoes.
Bill Graham, defensive ace who
was kept out last year by an ailing
1eg, is expected to help greatly.
At George Washington Coach Ed
Morris will build around Lefty
Kushman, Toby Bright, Frank NC
Ginnis, Jack Redinger and John Ko-
soski, pitchers. and Yves Taylor and
Lud Urick, catchers. The battery
candidates have been toiling indoors
md Morris will have difficulty hold
ing them in check.
Joe Judge has no idea how many
% expect for Georgetown's initial
drn, but is confident they'll be ready
10 60 to work. The former Washing
ton nrst baseman is looking forward
70 another winning season at the
nltop with an abundance of ma
sef1al left over from last years squad.
