To begin with, O'Reilly has half dozen: really clever pitchers in Taber and MeCarthy corpe, _ Gillespie, omes up from the freshman team. and Bronnan, a newcomer. Taber Snd Gillespie are southpaws. There ire fiva catchers on the squad, Cun- hingham, Snell, Murtagh, McGowan nd Zukeforth.

The last men- tioned has impressell ©'Reilly. Then, of course, there is some other material that O'Reilly has not had a ehanece to thoroughly size up. Gallaudet Faces Problem. Elstad at Gallaudet has only the mere framework of a team. Danof- sky, who played short last vear, is the only veteran infielder on hand. The Kendall Greeners are better for- tified with outfielders than anything rlwe, They have McColl, Lahn and Roatwright available for patrol work in the gardens, but the last two named not at the samo time. Boat- wright and Lahn both are pitchers also and alternate on the slab and in the outfield. Wright, last years oatoher, also is available. But with three positions to fill in the infield, Lilstad's task is not an enviable one Maryland Is Well Fixed. Maryland is pretty well fixed with veteran material or with freshmen team graduates o fill places that were vacated by graduations. Wat- dug shoes is P kins. the regular catcher of 1923, is| back and is big and strong enough to catch all the games unless he is injured. Spinner, who ‘is likely to be his understudy, is well above the average. Although Nihiser, regular mounds- man last year, has been relegated to the ranks of the onlookers on ac- count of scholastic difficulties, the team Is well off for pitching. Schrider, a southpaw, who shared most of the slab duties with Nihiser in 1923, is counted upon .to be the mainstay. He should be given able assistance by Waters and Brayton, who pitched winning . ball for the yearlings last season; Clarke, a reserve hurler on the varsity a vear ago, and Coakley, ‘better and more familiarly known as “Oofty Goof,” who twirled for the 1923 frosh. Moran at third was the only regu- lar lost from the 1923 infiedd, but changes are likely in two spots Troxell, first sacker for the fresh- men last vear, is being figured on to hold down the Initial corner, with Pollock, who played there last sea- #on, going to either second or third. Halley, who performed at the hot corner for the 1923 frosh, is at pres- ent stationed at that sack, but he and Pollprk may change positions, as the Mitsr has a much stronger throwing arm. Besley, who has played short for two seasons, is due to again cavort in that territory. Gardner, reserve inflelder last year, and_Walker, a graduate from the freshmen team, are very promisin; Burdette and Remsberg are the outfield veterans on hand and both doubtless will retain their jobs.

Unfortunately the real identity of the strong-limbed martyr who carried the word of victory to the awaiting magistrates in Athens will never be known. The original run of Marathon is buried under the dust of antiquity. History gives several names—Thersippus, Erocadae, Philippides and Phei. dippides. erodotus, the ancient his- torian, says Philippides, but Byron has more or less popular- ed the name of Pheidippides in a famous poem. The idea of the present-day marathon was' born in the brain of a German offi charge of the first revival in 1896 at Athens of the Olympic games. The first winner of thig classic was Loues, a Greek, much to the delight of his countrymen. Loues ran over practically the same ground from Marathon to Athens as wi trod by the illustrous Pheidippides 2,386 years before The next victor was Teato, a MIDDIES WIN THREE OUT OF FIVE EVENTS ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 15—Pre- senting their last big card of winter indoor competition, midshipmen ath- letes came through with flying colors in three out of five events today.

The Plebe boxers, however, were bested by the Franklin and Marshall Acad- gmy of Lancaster, Pa. three to two outs. FOUR VIRGINIA MEN IN ALL-STATE TEAM Four players of the University of Virginia team that won the state basket ball championship by defeat- ing eight of the leading quints of the 0ld Dommion with a margin of ten points or more have been named in the all-Virginia squad of ten basket- ers selected by H. D. Thomas and Thomas Carruthers, respectively as- sistant basket ball coach and basket ball manager at the university. Miller has been named as cente and Brown as guard in the first team, and Holland as center; and Walp as guard in the second team. Other first team selections are Hicks, Wil- liam ‘and Mary, and Lake, Washing- ton and Lee, ‘forwards, and Ryder, Virginia Military Institute, guard. The remaining second team selec- tions are Sutton, Virginia Polytech- nic_Institute, and Fray, University of Richmond, forwards, and Cameron, Washington and Lee, guard. Brown is named as captain of the first team and Cameron of the seconds.

McArthur of South Africa won at Stockholm in 1912, Kolehmainen of Finland was the winner at Antwerp in 1920. The struggle for the honor in 1908 will never be forgotten. Dorando, . Italian, and Hayes, American, matched strides for glory almost all the way. Dorando led into the arena, but collapsed in sight of the goal and -was dis- qualified for having been assisted the few remaining yards across the finish line. Little Johnny Hayes followed a few moments later and was declared the winner. The best time ever made for the marathon distance was hung up up by Willic Kolehmainen, brother of the famous Hannes.
