S PORTS. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1928. SPORT S. Georgetown Is Almost Certain to Turn Out a Winning Base Ball Combination O’REILLY WELL SATISFIED WITH SHOWING OF SQUAD Burch, From Last Year’s to Be Great Hurler and All Positions Are Filled hy Capa])le Performers. BY H. C. BYRD. OTWITHSTANDING there h, N getting the most out of the seorgetown’s base ball destinics, expresses himself as well satisfied with the progress thus far of his team. The team is coming along even hetter than expected. according to O'Reilly. and real'y is rounding into opening game the Blue and Gray nine ought to he ready to repel success- fully invasions of Northern schools. While O'Reilly still has one or ceclain, he alrcady has a very definit nine will he.

O'Reilly ban on Burch heing one of the sreatest | pitchers who has ever worn a George- | town uniform. which compliment. With Ing duty will he ¥ land and Goddard. Capt. Ryan at Second. is some real Burch for pitch- . Gillespie, Hol- Ritchie Ryan, captain of the team, | meems to have no one offering him serious opposition at second base. Also Donovan at shortstop seems to have an almost certain first eall. Don- ovan was a member of the vearling nine and played the same position that he now ix holding down on the varsi For the other two infield positions a fight seems to have de- veloped hetween Graham and Vega for first hase and between Quinn and Nork for third. aham is a hig fellow, lett hancer and®lonz and rangy. which gives him a fielding advantage over Vega, who is a much smaller man. Vega, though. has heen hitting the hall much more consistently. Inei- dentally, a lot of people around the Hilltop are pulling for Vega to come through. For four vears he has heen out for the team. hut has never made A position. and evervhody seems to feel that any fellow who has staying qualities of that kind deserves to make gond. Nork Is Good Hitt, Nork. who starred at forward on the hasket hall team. is not fielding as well as Quinn, hut is said to have his eve on the ball much better. In | short, it is the case with Nork and | Vega that they will make good if they continue to use their stick so affectively. as Coach O'Rellly, or any coach for that matter, always iz de- sirous of building up his offense, and a is willing to take a chance on teach- | Ing his men how’to field their posi- tions properly. It is an old adage of hase ball that vou can teach men to field, but vou cannot teach them to hit. O’Neil is the one outfielder left from | the 1925 varsity. He played left the hut has since been shifted to centes :\hl(h position he now holds. The rest seem to be Cuisinier and McLean. Plansky, all-round track star, and Ray Hass, hurdler, have heen playing around with the diamond squad the past week. Prohably neither has any serious intention of trying for the nine, as hoth will have all the ath- letics they want in the outdoor season in track. Has No Complaint. Summing up the situation en the Hilltop. the prospects for a good team are excellent. CCoach O'Reilly has not hesitated to express his satisfaction over to be a_tough proposition for any op- ponent to meet. Incidentally. it might be stated that O'Reilly is going to have his hands full, handling base hall and track again. For several yvears the George. town man has coached basket ball and track during the Winter and base ball and track in the Spring. and, at best, the two jobs are plenty for one man to do. That O'Reilly has been able to turn out successful teams in all three branches of sport is a remarkable tribute to his ability. Georgetown ope: from next Monday, the first game heing with Bucknell. and from that time until the first of June. when ft zoes North for its annual trip. will meet some of the strongest of colleze nines. TECHNICAL FOOT BALL POINTS TO BE TOPICS| By the Ascoriated Press. NEW YORK. March matters pertaining to the the annnal meeting of the intercol- legiate foot hall rules committee to- night. The forward pass and the point after touchdown are expected to draw some discussion. Few changes of a drastic nature are looked for, but there may be a warm_discussion of the professional foot ball situation as it relates to collegzes, Fdward K. Hall, chairman of the committee, aroused followers of the rame during the Winter with a ban- quet_speech in New York, during which he criticized the naming of “all” teams as giving too much credit to the individual.

These pegs are moved upward for the cross stick to rest upon as the jumpers increase the heights of their Jumps Each jumper gets three trials at each height and failure to make the height in three trials puts him out of the competition. No weights or grips are allowed. g There are two high jumps—standing and running. The running jump is the easier of the two. In the running high the two best or Eastern form, and the Western form. The “scissors” Ix the old fashioned form, which carried the lumper over | the bar in a sitting position, where he puts first one leg over the bar, then the other. This form is not used by loml Jumpers. The Western form is the more popu- lar and is executed as follows: If the Jumper takes off from the left foot he should start from the left side at a 45- degree angle. He should make a mark, four springy strides from the take-off, which should be about 33 feet from the bar. In making the jump start 10 or 15 feet ahead of the first mark, and after hitting that mark with the left foot take but four springy strides and Jump from the left foot, which is the foot next to the bar. The right foot is swung up and at the same time the body is leaned back and does a for- ward roll. At the time the jumper goes over the bar the body is paraliel to the bar. Roll on over and face down and light on the same foot you jumped from, the left. Be sure that one of your feet goes over before your ‘head, because it is illegal to go over head first. In the running high if the runner runs under the bar it is chasged as a balk and three balks count a tgial. As in the other jump events, there should be a pit of soft dirt, or sand and sawdust mixed, to land in. If you have been reading and sarv- ! ing Coach Oswalt's articles, you know and have something veally icorth while in the art of jumping.

BASKET BALL SECRETS y Sol Metzger. | When Guarding Out-of-Bounds Plays. A e ey A player should not stand di rectly in front of an opponent who is about to throw the ball in from out of hounds, as that leaves an opening for. this opponent to run through and cut for the basket after he hak passed the ball into the court to a teammate. The position to take is to stand to one side of thie opponent. the side toward the basket he is defend- ing, ® as to force the opponent to go toward the center of the court. This is one of the little points about hasket ball that will keep down the score of an oppo- nent by reducing the number of chances he has of shooting for the basket. WRESTLER INJURED. ATLANTA, Ga..
