Crippled Terp Hur|er
Stands Out as Game
Goes 10 Harvard
Fulton, With One UsobIe
Arm, Hos Five RunIess
Innings in 5-3 Tilt
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

You have to see him play to be-
heve 1t, but a practically one-armed
University of Maryland pitcher ap-
pears destined to make quite a
name for himself in college baseball
the next three years.
Making the first varsity start of
his career yesterday, young Bill Full
ton had nothing to do with his
teams second successive defeat, but,
despite Harvards 5-3 victory over
the Terps, Fulton was the outstand-
ing figure on the College Park dia-
mond.
Bill was born with infantile paral-
ysis, a disease which stopped the
growth of his right arm at its elbow
and which resulted in his becoming
left-handed naturally. But there
aren't many athletes with two good
arms who can do all the things
Fulton can do with one and half
Good in Other Sports.
They say he's quite a tennis player
and breaks 100 at golf, but this OBJ
server saw enough Of him on the
pitching mound yesterday to become
humbly respectful. It's really un-
canny the way he works. While
preparing his pitch in his left arm
Bill holds his glove in the short
ened fingers of his right and after
delivering his pitch quickly shifts
the glove back to his left. Both
from the utterly natural way he
pitches and catches with his left
you have a hard time realizing it.,
the only good arm he has.
What's more surprising in view o.
his handicap. he's a fifth inflleder
for we saw him pounce upon three
bunts yesterday la the Bluege o.
a decade ago, fielding cleanly ant
throwing out the runners witt
plenty to spare. During the five
full innings he pitched, Harvard
made exactly two hits. He STRUCK
out five and walked only one, ex.
hibiting quite bit Of stuff.
Indeed, If his predecessor anc
successor had matched his per
formance. Maryland might have
won. because he was the only one
of three Terp hurlers unscoree
upon. Coach Burton Shipley yankee
him for pinch-hitter in thu
seventh, probably with the though
of saving him for as much service
as possible in the four games Mary
land faces in the next five days.
Dwyer's Homer Ties Score.
After Harvard had pounded start
/ ing pitcher Art Woodward for thre,
hits and as many runs in the first

back on even terms with lonl

decisive marker in the second whel
Catcher Regan and Pitcher Wald
stein singled, the former scoring
after the next two batters had beel
retired, on Harvey's hit.
Harvard was playing its first game
but Its infield was working in mid
season form, pulling three fas
double plays. But If Fulton hat

different story.

Rockne, Whose Spirit Enfo|ds Notre Dame
10 Years After His Death; Backed Superb
Coaching With Dramatic Shownonship

mo said my grandfather, but
I sure woulda been if that third
floor concrete hadn't busted the
fall!"
One Saturday afternoon, the first
half intermission found Rockne
team trailing Nebraska badly, hav-
ing been smartly outplayed. The
Irish trailed dejectedly into the
dressing room, then sat down to
await terrific tongue lashing which
every man was sure would come.
They watched the door, but no
Rockne entered. For 10 minutes
the players sat there anxiously.
Short Speech Inspiring.
Then, seconds before they had to
return to the field, in walked Rockne
He looked around the room slowly,
his scathing glance touching each

opened it, then turned and said in
disgust:
"Humph. Fighting Irish"

behind him.
Notre Dame won the game.
He was hard worker. In 1918.
in addition to coaching the team. he

1erp Lacrosse Tutors
Facing Huge Job
To Retain Title
Team Ragged. Especially
On Defense, in Beoting
Dartmouth in Opener

Coaches Jack Faber and Al Heagy,
who took over the Maryland lacrosse
team yesterday as it made its COM
petitive debut by beating Dartmouth
at College Park, IS TO 7, found out
that they have plenty on their hands
if the Terps are going to come close
to retaining their national collegiate
title.
Faber and Heagz, who last Satur-
day finished their chores with spring
football, doubtless were fairly well
satisfied with the promise shown
by the attack, but probably were
kept awake last night worrying
about the defense, which was ragged
and full of holes.
Maryland has two more games
this week, one with Harvard Thurs
day that should be another Warmup,
but cannot afford to be as uncertain
as it was yesterday when 1t runs up
against Loyola OF Baltimore Satur-
day.
Dartmouth was first to score yes
terday and also led 81 and 80 be-
fore AL Slesinger, who got six in
all, tossed in two successive goals.
Maryland was in command from
then on, leading 8-4 at the half and
1875 at the close of the third period.
Maryland also has been hard hit
by the loss for at least a month Of
Bill McGrepor midfield star and
one of the eight letter men on the
squad He injured his knee late last
week and cannot be counted upon
until the last three games of the
campaign. These, however, are

To Harvard Tilt
Ten Errors Committed
On Bumpy EIIipse by
Twice-Beoten Team

George Washington University's s
team won't be shadowed by major
league scouts, nor is it even possible
the Colonials will unveil an accept
able brand of collegiate baseball this
season, but if G.. w. U. is searching
for an alibi it need not peek beyond
the confines of the East Ellipse
diamond.
The East Ellipse, adjacent to the
Presidents back yard, has been the
starting point for many local sand
lot star G. WIS cramped campus
hardly would provide space for more
than a badminton court, so the Co.
lonials are forced to employ the FL
lipse as home field, much to their
chagrin.
Bumpy Infield Mars Play.
G.. w. has no punch and Its
pitching is pathetic. Whatever hope
it holds of displaying some SEM
blance of finesse is crushed by the
condition of the East Ellipse dia-
mond, where the Colonials were to
seek their first victory in three
games against Harvard today after
being smothered, 1913, by Vermont
yesterday.
In its two tiffs there thus far, G.
w. and it's opposition have collab-
grated in committing IT errors, even
though scorers have learned to be
lenient. The humps in the inf1eld
make it almost impossible to field a
ball cleanly and a bad club is made
much worse in such surroundings.
The Colonials were averaging five
errors a game and their foes had
compiled an average Of 10 runs as
G. w. entered its third engagement:
Harvard, which trounced Maryland
yesterday, was favored.
Beaten in First Inning.
G. w. blew the Vermont game in
the first inning, when the Cata-
mounts capitalized on three errors
two walks, a triple and two singles
to produce six runs M lanky Jack
Redinger. The Colonials never
threatened as AL Shaw checked them
with six hits.
Henry Beauchemin, towering Ver-
mont first baseman, was G. WIS
largest dose of poison. Beauchemin
collected two singles, a double and
a triple to spark Vermont's 15-hit
attack against Redinger and Lee
Lusby, a converted infielder.

Eddie La Fond, successor to Dutch
Bergman as head football coach and
director of athletics, announced
Whelans appointment with note
Of keen satisfaction, and his en-
thusiasm was reflected in the atti-
tude of the gridmen and entire STU

the most popular athletes ever to

without saying.
AS assistant to La Fond, Whelan

believe we can overcome a lot of
our shortcomings by hard work and
serious thought. Well try to have a

Runnerup for Past
Two Years Must Do
Much Rebuilding
Hos Only Pair Of 1910
Regulars, but Talent
Is Highly Promising
By GEORGE HUBER.


Most of the high school coaches
tn Washington are looking for
Eastern to be a real contender for
the schoolboy diamond title again.
Eastern always has a good team"
Is the way they sum it up and his
tory bears that out to such a sur
priSing extent that 1t is automatic
to consider Eastern as having one
Of the city's stronger mines.
And as usual Chief Guyon, the
Ramblers' veteran coach, admits
Eastern probably will have another
good team, although there are
plenty of spots to be filled in the
nine, which last year and the year
before was runnerup to Central.
All but two of his regulars were
graduated or caught in the age
limit so that the Chief faces the
problem of breaking in almost an
entirely new crew.
Looks for Power Hitting.
Guyon's plan this season is to
feature power hitting and place
hitting. He has brought out the
big, heavy black bat Eastern used
when it scored 78 runs in four inter
high games in 1885 and Is making
the boys use that in practice. 1t
really is massive instrument, the
size OF young log and it takes a
strong boy to handle it. Most of
Eastern's diamond candidates are
sizable chaps and Guyon promises
power If nothing else.
In a regular game when they
grab regulation bat the thing will
feel like toothpick, and that's the
idea. The Chief also is making
them hit at everything in practice,
even if only one ball in 10 comes
over the plate. In this way they
learn how to meet even bad balls.
Eastern lost most everything but
the batboy, according to the list
Guyon hands out. Main holdovers
are Jack Hoffman at first and Billy
Iite at second. Among the expert
enced lads are John Laycock. an
outfielder, and Howard Jesnick, an
all-around utility man and a good
hitter. Jesnick can plug almost any
gap, except pitching, and Guyon
still doesn't know where he'll be
placed. Ray David is leading cam
didate for third and Reds Vernon
and Dorsey Mclaughlin are fight
Ing for the job at short.
Three Catching AspirantS
The catching assignment prob
ably lies between Carol Pennington
and Tom Kennedy, although Jesnick
also has a chance at this spot.
Guyon must get almost an entire
" new outfield, and among the
promising hitters seeking posts are
Leonard Uzzi, Bill Foreman and
Charles Reeves.
The pitching staff is rather alb
breviated. Ken Curles, a left
handler, and Ken beavers will do
most of the series hurting, with Art
Bray, another southpaw, to back
them up.
