Popular Chord
In MoryIund's Poorest
Year, Gritty Athlete
Holds Up Morale

A moral may echo from every
tick of the new and glittering watch
Bob Smith cafes with him today.
The rusSet-C'>Sked, modest Mary
land star marched up and blushing-
ly accepted the award, the Sylvester
watch, yesterday at ceremony at
which 68 men who participated in
spring sports at College Park were
honored
Also singled out for particular
honors were Tommy Fields, track
man who took the Charles L. Lin
hardt ring for the Maryland man
outstanding for the year in ath-
letics; John L. (Jack) Mueller, who
received the E. E. Powell award
for the player rendering the great
est service to the lacrosse squad;
and William S. (BilD England, who
was given the Louis (Bozey) Berger
trophy as the outstanding senior
in baseball
Award to Smith Popular.
The Sylvester watch, annually
awarded to the man who typifies
the best in college athletics, reached
the right party this year Tor Smiths
courage, zeal and cheerfulness stood
out like beacon in one of the most
unsuccessful years in Maryland
sports history
Smith vertically held the line to-
gether in football by his stellar
work at center, although prema-
turely counted out because of knee
injury that threatened to terminate
his career, and then helped rally
a wavering diamond squad by some
surprisingly good pitching. His Sc
lection as the honor man of the
class of athletes for Al was the
most popular Old Line officials could
have made and must have been
particularly gratifying to Bob who,
after stories appeared that he was
through because of his game leg,
vowed he'd play football if he had
to hobble on clutches.
&c Lost by Graduation.
