‘SPORTS. Georgetown and Maryland Lose Many Stars : R LOCAL ATHLETIC SQUADS RIDDLED BY GRADUATIONS Hilltoppers to Be Minus Giants of Prowess in Nor- ton and Plansky, Whil Supplee, Great All BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN and University of Maryland, when they begin the Fall terms, will find missing from their athletic ranks some of the best men that ever have worn their colors. G this Spring have gone men who bore flicts, and from some sports have been lost performers who may not be replaced in years. Such men as Plansky, Hagerty, Endslow and Supplee are not developed every year. From foot ball Georgetown lose years, three from the backfield and of the eleven last Fall, was a great tioned as all-America candidate. posing teams as the hardest man in der way. Murtaugh and Plansky also were good In other sports. Murtaugh car- ried the big end of the catching for the base ball team, and the way in which Plansky won the all-round track and field champlonship of the country for two consecutive vears at the Penn relays will not soon be for- gotten by Georgetown men. Jawish. who held down a place at guard in foot ball, also will be missed. He was not a showy performer, but steady and dependable at all times, and the value of such a player can- not be overestimated. Frpm basket ball will go Gitlitz. who formerly was a star at Yale; Johan- nis and Ryan. All were good men and capable of putting up a brand of play as good as any one might hope to find in college ranks. Ryan also was captain of the base ball team, and at second base wab one of the best players the Blue and Gray ever has had. More Losses on Track. in track athletics Georgetown will lose, besides Plansky, Hass, Norton | and Ascher. Haas has been depend- able in the hurdle and also was zood in foot ball, and, of course, Norton was an allround star and member of the Olvmpic team. Ascher was one of the country's great mid- Ale-distance men, as he has clipped the quarter in 48 seconds and the twotwenty in 21. Tt is safe to sav that Goergetown will not have in track next Fall any men as capable @s these three. Norton, Plansky and Ascher; that is, as capable in all- round events and as valuable in a Aual meet. Out at Maryland there go from foot hall several men who have been stand- bys for a good while. The best of these are Bromley, Supplee and Reatty. Bromley and Supplee were members of the team two years ago that beat Penn and came within an ace of trimming Yale. Besides these, Lanigan, Waters and Bonnett, who plaved in those two games, are lost. Supplee All-Round Man. The best allround man of these and one of the best all-round men who have worn the colors of the univer- sity In a decade is Supplee. A star at end in foot ball. he also was fine center in basket ball and a better man- in track than the average. Be- sides his accomplishments in foot ball and basket ball, last Spring Sup- plee threw the javelin a little over 173 feet, the discus 118 feet, high jumped 5 feet 7 inches-and pole vault- ed 11 feet 3 inches. There is no other man in the South who has a better all-round record in athletics than Sup- plee, and it is a question if there is one in tne country who could boast of doing as many things well. From base ball Maryland loses Nihiser, pitcher for four years; Trox- ell. Spinney and Brayton. In track athletics the departure of Endslow, Supplee and Dittman is marked, and if anybody is to take their places next Tall, the person or persons to do so have not yet shown their abilities. Tondslow was a fine runner at the quarter and half. He was what" is known as a racer, usually running as fast as he had to, no matter what the circumstances. Dittman won or placed in every shotput event in which he took part during the year. insor and Faber Go, Too. Besides Supplee and Beatty in bas- ket ball. “Buddy” Ensor and Jack Faber, both also stars on the lacrosse team, have played their last game. Faber especlally is the intelligent type of athlete who is exceptionally val- uable. An old saying in college athletics i¢ that “no matter how good they are, when they go somebody always comes along to take their places,” which is true to a certain extent. But it also is true that every once in a while, in every decade or so, there comes along a man or men who establish them- =elves on a pinnacle that is reached seldom thereafter. As teams go other places are strengthened to more than ° make up for losses more often than not, but as for individual performance and ability it will be a long while be- fore Georgetown gets two all-round men in track and field athletics as capable as Norton and Plansky and bafore the University of Maryland gets one as good in all-round athletics as Supplee. Losses at C. U. Are Light. In contrast to_the situation at Georgetown and Maryland, Catholic University has back next Fall the bulk of the strength of its teams and loses very few really good men. Garvin, who did some fine work in basket ball, base ball and foot ball, is gone, and Devin, star pitcher, also has finished, but the chances are men will come up from the freshman teams who will replace these.

Ahearn is well known here, while Ruth, who hails from Philadelphia, has one of the most impressive records of the featherweights of the East. The match is scheduled to go 12 rounds. Ahearn has met Honey Boy Fin- negan three times and on each occa- sion was going in the last round. Ruth received the only knockout of his career from the Finnegan left in Philadelphia a year ago. The semi-final of six rounds looks promising. Buster Dundee, Baltimore's kid star, is matched with Eddie Buell, former West Coast boxer. Three four-rounders complete the card. Billy West rambles with his rival, Jack Cody; Joey Raymond of Baltimore takes on Paul Bruen and Kid Woodie goes on with Kid White. | Charlie Short of Baltimore has been named as referee.

Then again, while a number of am- bitious anglers strained their lines at vantage points along the long pier at the beach, hoping for the wind to change with its expectant change for fishing luck. did not Charles Jenkins of Washington cast his line in 8 feet of water along the long pier and pull out a fine rockfish weighing 5% pounds? And didn’t every other fisher- man sit up and take notice?

All of which recalls an interesting story in_which Capt. Hazard's little 4-year-old son, Nesline, is concerned The little fellow, like his daddy, is to the manner born when it comes to sens- ing the fishing. game. . One day the past week he persuaded his dad to take him out to the fishing grounds along with a party of anglers. Nesline was given a pole and a line and allowed to fish at his free willand pleasure. He really can cast very well | for a child, and true to his nature he | fished quietly and disturbed no one. Presently his dad was attracted to | his efforts in endeavoring to pull in his | line. The captain took a hand and | drew in over the side of the boat two | of the nicest hardheads of the party’s entire catch. Nesline is a smart little chap, and it goes without saying that he is a very worthy counterpart of his noted fishing sire. ‘The individual catches off the long pler the past week have run from 6 to 15. There have been a few rockfish, and one fisherwoman, who is noted for her rockfish luck, reports that one strike was a rockfish that took the en- tire water end of her line. HAWKINS | D. C.
