Three new _schools are on the schedule in Harvard, William and Mary and George Washington. 1 Outlook Is Bright. If Maryland's distance men come through and a hi; veloped, the te: strongest ever The squad, though, must face the best competition it has ever been against. Navy usually has a good team, Virginia is exceptional this Spring, Harvard is said to have a great all-around squad and. of course, in the Penn relays and in the Southern Conference champion- ships the best athletes of the country probably will be tne met. ‘The team will get more special coach- in certain events this Spring than ft has ever before had. Bill Dowding, former star jumper and sprinter at Georgetown, will take entire charge of the field events, and in several will have (}flfl .men to work with. Dick White, or instance, who will compete in Dowding’s star event, the broad jump, did better than 22 feet last year as a freshman. Where Dowding will ha his main dificulties is in the high jump, n ‘which talent seems to be very scarce. Has Good Sprinters. In all events up to the quarter Mary- can easily hold its own. For these Matthews and Pugh, from last year squad, and also Quinn, who, although only a sophomore, bids fair to develop into a brilliant sprinter. Quinn took in two races last Winter. In one, at Richmond. Cummings barely beat him by a hair's breadth in two consecu- tive heats, while at Philadelphia, in the put and discus, Connaughton and Aman in the pole vault, Young in the javelin, in the half, Newnam and Myers in the distances, Pahey and Kin- pamon in the hurdles seem right now 10 be most dependable of the other members of the squad. The squad has been working outdoors for about 10 days, but has done little It is mot the easiest thing in the world to get up much spirit on the men engaged in mhe most val- h!::ulgo that kind of a phy"er ;:inb to engage in ring Ppractice sometimes exercises every Wdodxewn(mzctcumgwt foot ball in the Spring, but not so “Roberts. was importuned to , and he could | sport, but said it re to do that, that he actice some new in foot ball and that 10 be great in the one than halfway good in sev- .

The athletic club won the champlonship three times—in 1921, 1922 and 1923—and was runner-up in 1924 and 1926. The Hillyards captured the pennant in 1926 and 1927, and came out second best in 1925, when Washburn !(rhlltgt of divided the games, champions winning the first, 34 to 15. but losing the second, 20 to 23. Since Dr. J. A. Reilly, physical director of the Kansas City Athletic Club, brought the first ‘A. A.

That was in 1924, when Butler College of Indianapolis topped all the teams. ‘Ten thousand persons witnessed the final game of the 1927 tourney, when the Hillyards beat Ke-Nash-A of Kenosha, Wis., 29 to 10. N. 8. Hillyard, president of the Hillyard Chemical Co., is known as the father of the team now holding the championship. An ardent fol- lower of basket ball, he spares no effort in recruiting players. ‘With his outfit this year are Elmer Hooker, guard, who was captain of the Ke-Nash-A quintet that o] the Hillyards in the title tilt last year; Gerald Spohn, center and for- ward, high-point man of the 1927 tourney and a member of the Wash- burn five which annexed the na- tional championship in 1925; George Starbuck, captain, picked as all- America guard in 1925, 1926 and 1927; James Loveless, all-America forward in 1927, and Clarence Mil- ler, third high-point man in the 1927 tournament. —— ALEXANDRIA QUINTS TO BATTLE TONIGHT ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 15—The local unlimited basket ball series will get under way at the Armory Hall tonight with the Old Dominion Boat Club and St. Mary's Celtic teams scheduled to meet at 8:30. “Cockey” O'Mera of Washington will referee.

Near the close, with the score stand- ing 27-26 for the Seniors, Mary Wiles, Junior forward, tossed the ball to the basket where it rolled around the rim and then dropped out, bringing down withk it the Junlors’ suddenly-raised hopes of a last-minute victory. The next instant, while Lucile Bixler rolled in a shot from the foul line to give the Seniors an added point, the whistle was blown, calling the game. Juniors opened the game with a 4- point lead, but the Senfors held the edge at half time, 18-10, and retained it until the final period, when points were scored nip-and-tuck, the Juniors pushing to the front at 25-24, only to be bested at the finish. Fast floor play and skillful basket work marked the performance of both teams. Seniors were working their center-forward field combination plays with consistency, despite the close guarding of the Juniors. Margaret Wil- kinson did some neat work in the cen- ter field for the losers. Sophomores earned third place in the series when they climbed out of a 12-2 hole in the last half of their game with the Freshmen to win, at 29-25. Sophomores lacked Dorothy Kelso, one of their best goal shots, in the opening half, who dropped in basket after basket to carry her team into the lead in the third quarter. This period ended with the Sophs on top of an 18-17 count. The gallery was treated to more thrills in the dying moments of this contest, when Alice Haigh and Ruth Brown of the Freshmen and Alice Althens of the Sophs matched their | [ | scoring abilities in a tense struggle for victory. Miss Haigh caged a basket, to give | the Freshmen the edge at 23-21, with less than two minutes to play. Miss Althens tied the count, and subse- quently added another, to put her team in the lead. Miss Brown tied things up again at 25-25 by dropping a two- pointer in the Freshman goal, but two quick shots from the Sophomore end of the floor won the. game for them in the last few seconds. Anna May Poor, Freshman center, showed her skill both as a defensive and offensive player. In fact, the en- tire Freshman squad exhibited a brand of basket ball which promises future championships when a little experience is added to their natural ability. Announcement of letter-winners in the serles will be made in the near future by the athletic directors.

She was listed as seventh place winner in this event, however, as four tossers tied for first honors. Her record was 35 goals out of 45. The record established by the winners was 39 in 45.
