The seven division championships were won last season as follows: Georgetown division, Tenley School; Columbla Heights, Monroe School; Plaza, Blair-Hayes; Virginia avenue, Buchanan School New York avenue, Thomson School; Garfield, Smallwood School, and Rosedale, Blow School. Blow also captured the city title, but reports from the little northes building indicate that material for an- other championship nine is not so promising. All of the members of the 1925 nine have moved to higher grades, leaving the job of defending the honor to a combination of in. | experienced players. RECORDS T0 GO LOW By the Associated Press.

Oldfield, by virtue of two %oul goals caged by Beity Lee, took the lead ain at 32-30, but Miss Colahan evened things up once morr by executing a spectacular shot from & corner of the field. with the score 34-34, and less than a minute to play, the ball was carried into the Oldfield territory, where one of the Holton Arms guards succeeded in prevent- ing another score by intercepting a pass and tossing the ball out of the dapger zone. In the last few sec- onds, Miss Duke, who was playing forward for the first time in a varsity contest, received a pass from the centerfield and shot the goal which won the game.

The squad will have Jarrell, one of the best pitchers of last year; Myers and Graf, inexperienced but promising last season, and Zabilski, who had a wonderful season as the twirler for the plebes, ‘The Navy should have one of the fastest and best infields among the colleges.” Capt. Cooper, short stop, and Schwab, third base, played brilliantly last yvear and hit the ball hard. They will be found in their old places, and Ned Hannagan, who attracted much attention as a Washington High School player, is almost certain to be at_second. Haerlin and Hamilton were com- petitors for the catching position last year. Both were handling the ball well and both began to hit so hard that Hamilton was placed at first.

This is the first year the meet hax been scheduled in the northern end of conference territory. With one ex- ception, prior to this, the meet hes taken place in Alabama, which has been much too far for teams in this section to send tig squads. North Carolina, though. is closer to the cen- ter of track athletics in the South than any other imstitution and not much doubt exists that it is well sit- uated to make the meet much betier | atlended than it has been. Another track meet that is begin- ning to attract considerable attention in the South is the annual relays held by Georgia Tech at Atlanta. The re- lays this year are to be held on April 10. The reiays, patterned after the annual Penn games, have been growing rapidly and attracting teams from all sections of the South. University of Maryland’s base ball squad plans to take the flield tomor- row in full force. With the exception of Besley, shortstop, and Shrider, pitcher, Coach Shipley has practically ihe same teams that he put on the fleld a year ago. Besley and Bchrider still are in school, but are not eligible. Two infleld positions may be open, short and second. Davis, from last year's yearlings, seems to be the best bet for the former, while the latter is an open proposition. It may be that Jean Brayton, one of the pitchers for the last two seasons, will be worked out at second. ‘Three others besides Brayton, who did mound duty a year ago, are eli- gible, while one man comes from the freshman squad with a fairly good record. Nihiser, Snyder and Mills are the former varsity hurlers available, while England Is the voungster who | pitched for the freshman team. Georgetown and Maryland foot hall squads will get down 1o real work tomorrow so that their Spring train- ing may be productive of desirable results. The Blue and Gray practice was called off last week because of cold weather and frozen ground. Some Maryland men went through a | workout each day, but for the most part kept on their feet and did not hit the ground. Incidentally, there fis a protest against 8pring foot ball that is grow- ing rapidly in many of the Southern universities. The protest is coming in the main from coaches of other sports, which have their varsity re- gime in the Spring. Foot ball coaches are so intent on turning out the best teams possible that they are In many schools keeping men off varsity teams in other sports in order to send them through their Spring workouts. Coaches of base ball, track, tennis and lacrosee teams are not taking very kindly to this arrangement. And the other phase of Spring practice that causes some grumbling is the fact that practicing foot ball for six or seven weeks keeps men out of sports in which they desire to com- pete. A chap who can play base ball had much rather be a member of a varsity nine than to go through six weeks of routine practice without the incentive that comes from regular competition. . In Spring practice a1 the Univer sity of Maryland, and at one or two other schools, pusible objections from other coaches are eliminated by turn- ing over to the members of the foot ball squad they need. -For Instance, Mike Stevens, captain of the eleven, will not be out for foot ball at all, but has two as good all-round athletes as row. Tenney Stevens and Boyd. members of the bhackfleld last sea son, are now with the lacrosse team. Pugh and Thomas. backs, are out with the track squad. Approximately 30 men, most of them linemen, will £0 through the workouts at College Park. Georgetown's track squad will not get much time for rest, if any. be- tween its indoor and outdoor seasons. Finishing up their final indoor meet last night, the Blue and Gray must get used to outdoor spikes in time to attend the two relay meets in Texas, those to be held by Rice Institute and by University of Texas. In addition to these meets the Blue and Gray is to have two dual affairs, one with Texas A. and M., the other with Uni versity of Texas. Catholic University expects to have a track team this Spring. The Brook. landers bave not announced a sched- ule, but say they will get into dual meet competition for the first time. It is very seldom that one school has two good alltound athletes as Norton and Plansky of Georgetown. Plansky i¢ not only capable in the fleld events, but alo is a good sprint er. Norton is a brilliant high jumper and pole vaulter and can do_things with the discus and shot. Plansky can more than do things with the shot. In an outdoor dual meet these two are almost a track team in them- selves. Both are in their last year of athletic competition on the Hilitop. No other basket ball team the South has produced ever accomplished what the one representing North Carolina University has. For four consecutive yvears the Tarheels have gone to At- lanta, Ga., and won the Southern Conference tournament. Sometimes North Carolina has had a coach, sometimes it has not, hut the result has been just the same. No growling, no grumbling, but just a plain case of sawing wood and saving nothing And North Carolina and its basket ball team deserve great credit for its accomplishments. U. OF M.

Allen, Navy, and Schautz, Yale, was tied at the end of the third round. Things were very much in the dark, but Allen came through and outfought his man in the fourth round. With Vodilla, Navy, boxing Vandergrift in the 175-pound class, there was another disagreement between the judges at the end of the third round, and it still existed after the fourth. The referee awarded the fight to the Navy man. Capt. Ragsdale of the Navy made a marvelous comeback after he had been almost knocked cold by Capt. McMann of Yale in the first round of the 145-pound class. This fight was also carried to the fourth round, but the Navy leader could not do himself Navy won a double aquatic vic- tory over Princeton here this after. noon, winning the swimming match, in spite of the unexpected loss of the rvelay, by 35 to 27, and the water polo game by 37 to 27. It is fair to state, however, that Princeton played without Matelene, | its captain and scoring ace, in the water polo contest. Owing in part to the 50-yard lap, which was used in all the races, the figures were not up to the mark the Midshipmen swimmers have nmde this season, in spite of the stiff oppo- sition from Princeton, Syracuse was decisively defeated in a fencing match, 16 to 3. Foils, sabers and epee or duelling swords were the weapons used, the visitors making their best showing with the saber, in which event they won two out of six bouts.

Ihe matches was not clinched, however, until the last round of the bouts, th& heavyweight class being request, and a victory in the last fight would have match in successive years to Penn State, the score being 12 to 10. The blow was softened to some extent that all the falls gained were by Navy mat- men, while Penn State piled up its points by gaining four decisions. Penn State, in fact, used defensive tactics largely, one very effective method being the use of toe and foot locks, which kept the Navy wrestlers on the mat whenever they were downed. The Midshipmen found these hard to break, and In many cases it effected a time advantage for the visitors. Capt. Edwards of the Navy team threw Garison, a powerful opponent, in 2 minutes and 23 seconds for h's seventeenth successive victory with- out a defeat. All five of his victories this year have been by falls. ShomiReier o SUZANNE DETERMINED NOT TO PLAY IN ITALY By the Associated Press.
