Mike Uline today set about gath

increasing the family circle to 10

Virginia Track Team
Is Being Caught by
Ills State Rivals
BY the Associated Press.

BY tte Associated Press.
A diffusion of track talent IN Vir-
ginia finally seems to be under way
after a longtime monopoly on the
cinder paths by the University Of
Virginia.
A hint of a new deal for the other
schools was seen in 1910, when the
Virginia Tech frosh mopped up in
the first-year events while the Vir-
ginia varsity was scoring about as
many points in the State meet as
the other Big Six" schools to-
gether. Then last week the Vir-
ginia varsity was hard pushed to
retain the championship and v.
M. rs freshmen won first-year
honors, with the Cavalier frosh and
Techs Goblets tied for runner-up
honors.
Virginia again will be strong next
season, with such stars returning
as Ned Campbell in the dashes
and Todd In the hurdles, but the
trend toward better team balance
for the rest of the Big Six" should
help whet interest and attract
enough paying customers to pull
the meet out of the red.

Simpson, A. u. Hot

II Lou Ghecas. the synonym for
creased lightning in Georgetown
outfield and candidate for a major
league job, doesn't get bid from
one of the better pro clubs it won't
be because Of his hitting.
With II games behind him, and
he's hit safely in them all, the
swarthy youngster who won gridiron
fame In the backf1elds of two un-
defeated Hoya elevens, tops the COL
1egiate batting list with robust .488
average The figure places him only
q few points behind the all-time rec
ord hung up by Charley Keller at
Maryland few years ago when the
Yankee outfielder finished with an
average slightly over 500.
Has Fine Throwing Arm.
Lou, who owns a throwing arm
with more whip than Simon Legree
ever thought of having, is one of
five Georgetowners in the 10 leading
hitters. American University and
George Washington are represented
by two each and Maryland by one.
The other nine are: Simpson "a.
u, .425; Castiglia &c. u, 1895;
Mlynarski &C. U, 800; Du Vail
CMd), 1853; Newly CA. u, $50;
McFadden &c. u, BAT: Mcneil
&C. W., .345; Miller &C. u, 1888,
and Picco &C. W., 1927.
Pitchers aren't supposed to be
good hitters, but 1t was only after
due deliberation and some hesitation
that tublike Dick Diekelman of
Georgetown and Eddie Amendola
of George Washington were not
grouped in the first 10. Eddie busted
the apple for 500 mark, but he
came up only 18 times in nine games.
Dieckelman, who has been used
some in right field by Joe Judge,
compiled a 346 average in eight
games, coming to bat 26 times.
It is surprising to find several un-
heralded players in the select circle,
notably Johnny Picco, Joe McFad-
den and Hank Mlynarski. Picco,
who gives one the impression his
dogs ache and he'll have to pull a
Joe Jackson to finish every game,
has been delivering regularly at the
plate. McFadden, who holds the
important post of mailman at
Georgetown, has been giving the
team special delivery bingles since
hitting his stride. Mlynarski is do
ing better than expected. He, by
the way, isn't thinking of pro-
fessional career, although several
scouts have been impressed by his
work, but will study dentistry-if
the draft doesn't snare him.
Du Vail Consistent Hitter.
One of the most unusual records
belongs to Maryland's Mearle
Du Vail, who has gone hitless only
twice in 18 games. He was stopped
in the first Richmond game and
later by West Virginia, but both in
terruptions occurred just at the
crucial point to keep him from chal-
lenging Ghecas' consecutive-game
streak.
