the Touchdown Club Trophy as
the most valuable member of the
Eagle grid squad.
Schulze will assist Coach Staff
Cassell in basket ball and will have
complete charge of baseball. Un-
der tentative plans mapped by Cas-
sell, Schulze will direct preseason
basket ball drills while Staff is busy
with football-if the Eagles field
team. This will give A. U. a good
start in basket ball, which is in

under CaSsell, is wen grounded in
his coaching methods and should
make an excellent stand-in.

At the present time Schulze's du-
ties are more on the academic side.
He is interviewing prospective A. U.
students among 1916 District high
school graduates. During the sum-

adjacent territory.
L feel We are lucky to get Dutch"
Cassell said today. He had several
attractive business offers at tempt
ing salaries, but he wants to be
coach and I'm glad to have him as
an assistant. He's got a lot on the
ball and I'm sure he'll move ahead
quickly"
SchuAe intends to study for his
masters degree at Penn State sum-
mer sessions.
Graduated in 1941, Schulze entered
the Navy in November that year and

Burt Shipley's approving nod. Bes-
ley was not impressive, reversing
the situation of a week ago when
the l7-year-old youngster came up
with a sparkling performance.
Harry Crouthamel, right-hander
who has come along nicely since
the start of practice, has drawn
the opening mound assignment for
Maryland, with 'Fitz" Fitzpatrick
slated to spell him out at the half
way mark. Shipley is holding Bob
Keene, portsider with plenty of
control, in reserve for the second
game of the series Saturday at 4.
A Washington boy, Larry Ferber,
will be behind the plate for Kings
Point and his battery mate will be
Baltimorean, Bill Robel.

Bill Brown, left field; Jack Flynn,
second base; Bill Eckhardt, third
