By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

Casting a longing eye at suitable
additions to their siZable collection
of silverplate. both Georgetown and
Maryland will send delegations to
the Penn Relays at Philadelphia
April 25 and 26, but it is conjectural
whether they'll do as we'll as last
spring. when they won everything
but the stadium mortgage.
Georgetown automatically Topped
off one certain championship by en-
tering Al Blozis in the Drake Relays
at Des Molnes, Iowa, the same week
end. The 12-story shotput champ
won his speciality with a heave of
55 feet SIS inches last year, out
diStanCing Ed Beetem of Penn, his
closest rival, by more than feet.
He'd be a lock to repeat unless they
made him throw a small cannon
along with the shot, but Hilltop Off
ClalS are anxious to show their
strong boy in the Midwest, so the
Phllly trip is out for Al
Maryland, the blaCk-Shirted dark
horse that tossed a couple of lucky
lis and made off with three Amer
lean relay championships with one
OF the most inspiring and surprising
performances in the relays history
is going back to the scene of its
triumphs with more hope than con-
fldenCe. Coleman HeaGley'S men
will need loaded dice this year to
bag anything important and on
paper figure to lose their sprint
medley, 2-mile and 4-miIe crowns.
Hard Hit by GraduatiOns.
The loss of Jim Kehoe. Mason
ChroniSter and Alan Miller by
graduation cannot be overeStimated.
The first two were key men on the
2 and 4 mile quartets and it is
doubtful if Headley can replace
them. Joe Murphy, conference out
door sprint champion; Tommy
Fields, indoor mile and 2-mile king,
and Gene Ochsenreiter, a better
than-average quarter and half
miller, must bear the brunt of the
burden this year.
Maryland hopes to spring another
bPHCI anu ~ lao C1ll OONo4NC NAlCNLlNI =
but it doesn't figure to sCorch the
cinders with its present array of
talent Fields probably will anchor
the mile and sprint medley teams,
while OchSenreiter will run on those
quartetS, in addition to the 2-mile
combination, if it conpetes. OchSen-
relter, Murphy, Lou Chacos, prom
Using sophomore, and Fields will
make up the sprint team.
Murphy, Bob Montgomery, Vernon
Miller and Tom Devlin make pos
sible entry for the $50 and Bob Con-
don and Randall Cronin could round
out the 2-mile team. The 1-mile
team may include ChacoS, Devlin
and OchSenreiter.
If Murphy accepts bid to run
in the invitational 100 he may find
himself pitted against Georgetown's
Jack Doolan, who will be the Hoyas
lone individual entry this year. Ine
lean-legged speedster also is trying
to land berth on the sprint med
ley team that will be chosen from
himself, Charley Williams, Ken
Lyden, Morty Alnwick and Solly
NeWmyer.
Georgetown varsity mile COM
bination will be picked from AIN
wick, Williams, Newmyer, Jim Fish
and Pete McAtee.
Hoyas to Send Freshmen.
Coach Hap Hardell also figures
on sending a freshman relay team
which has not been announced, but
will include four of the following:
Hugh Rogers, Lou Collado, Hugh
Short, Paul James, Fred Aurejo and
Bill Malay. The latter pulled a
muscle about a week ago and may
not be ready, but has his heart set
on winning a place on the team.
Lyden also is on the crippled list
with spike wound, but will be sound
for the relays.
Lone collegiate event scheduled
here tomorrow brings Michigan's S
baseball team to College Park for
a game with Maryland. The Terps,
who knocked off Vermont and Con-
necticut in their last two appear
ances after dropping their first three
games, hope to continue their win
ming streak.
Maryland will have its full COM
plement of pitchers ready for the
wolverines, but Lefty Bill Fulton,
a sophomore. probably will get the
starting assignment. Max Hunt and
Art Woodward will be held over, if
possible, for the game at Richmond
Saturday.
