sP ORTS. THE EVENING ST SPORTS. Georgetown Golf Team Appears to Have Fine Chance to Win Collegia HOYAS ARE BETTER THAN LAST SEASON = Size Up as Outfit Capable of Beating Princeton’s Win- ning 1928 Card. HE ‘national intercollegiate golf crown is wobbling on the dome of the Princeton Tiger. George- town reaches a confident hsnd; for it. ‘When Capt. Maurice McCarthy, jr., comes to take charge of the Hilltop linksmen he will find a team many strokes under the combination that Princeton conquered last year by nine ints. It is doubted that the Tigers ave strengthened as much. Dick Wilson and Chick Beger proba- bly are the most improved members of the Blue and Gray’s 1928 team. Young Wilson, who tries his skill today in the North and South amateur, has been doing especially well. Glowing reports of him are brought by Ernest L. Duhaime, the cheer leader, who has just returned from a visit with Dick at the Wilson manor near Pine- hurst, N. C. Wilson_Showing Form. “You're’ going to see 4 tough young golfer in Wilson,” he said, “and par- ticularly as a putter. I saw him use only 19 putts in one round at Pinehurst. His score was 69 and that was 3 under par. For three consecutive rounds he had a 74, a 72 and a 69, which was one under par for 54 holes. “‘He can't be expected to keep up that sort of golf, but it's a cinch Dick'll be better this Spring and Summer than he ever was.” Duhaime abandoned Wilson tempo- rarily to enthuse over Helen Hicks, the youngster who trimmed Glenna Collett the other day. “Oh, boy, that girl's a golfer,” he said, and how she can sock! I saw her make a 225-yard drive blind-folded.” In Duhaime’s opinion some of the newcomers to the Georgetown golf squad will put up a battle for regular Zé:cesv ?,“3’ “{lls&nb B:tgg Mark Flan- n and Capt. McCa: appear sure of holding on, although John Foley, a last year member, has improved his game. Among the promising candidates are: Bob Manning, Jimmy Quinn, Ken Man- ion, Nevins McBride, Norman Weisler, Frank Doran, Joe Halpin and Bob Sweeney. Georgetown, which dropped a 10-in- ning ball game to Yale, 6 to 4, tackles || the Bulldog again today and with little cause to be confident.

Fay Vincent, ¥ale first baseman, is in Gzol‘lcto'n Hospital with & broken molar bone, the resvlt of a collision with Ed Leary, Hilltop third sacker, in inning yesterday. He will be e fifth confined only a .di or so. A smashing fullback of Dean Acad- emy named Hugert will be a member of Georgetown’s freshman squad next Fall, it was revealed by a member of the Holy Cross ball team the other day. Hugert is & 200-pounder, he said, who runs with his knees around his “He's a wow,” declared the Crusader, “and it's ty well understood he's coming to rgetown.” Shevlin of Holy Cross is u:he cleverest flelding first baseman op] a ‘Washington college team this Spring. He handles himself like a big leaguer. He appears to be a hitter, oo, but a weakness was noted in the slender youngster’s stride. More leg drive would be a big help to him. The Cincinnati Reds have a sentimental hold on Shev- lin. His daddy owns a fat slice of Red stock. Holy Cross plays the game strate- gically after the manner of big timers. Mechanically the pupils of Jack Barry showed little more than the Hilltoppers, yet scored an 11-to-3 victory. No Cru- sader ever was at a loss what to do with the ball. Five of them have been offered contracts for next season by major league clubs. Of the 200 athletes in training at Maryland only three have earned let- ters in three sports. All are former ‘Washington High School boys. Al Heagy, from Western and Bill Evans, from Business, have distinguished themselves in foot ball, basket ball and la crosse, and Julie Radice, from East- ern, in foot ball, basket ball and base ball. Twenty Terrapins, despite the torrid weather, are toiling in Spring foot bcl} practice. Lou Hurley and Jocko Conlin have shared nearly all of Catholic Univer- sity’s box work, but on his recent show- ing little Pete Masi, southpaw, rates more opportunity. The bases were full with one down when Pete faced Ver- mont in the eighth inning of a tight battle the other day. He was the calm- est mortal on the premises and more than tantalizing to the Vermont bat- ters. They hit no more in that game. e - Tome Institute for the sixth time won the eighteenth annual South Atlantic swimming championships. Two Attractive Golf Matches ~ Are to Be Played Here Sunday BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. WO stellar exhibition matches are offered for golf fans of Washington on Sunday. -George J.

Professional golfers of the mid-At- lantic sector bowed to the skill and steadiness of Fred McLeod, veteran ro at the Columbia Country Club, who led a fleld of more than a score of pald players in the first sweepstakes event of the Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers’ Association ' yesterday at the Town and Country Club. McLeod turned in a card of 37—34—71, one over par for the course, which nosed out Arthur B. ‘Thorn, pro at the host club and presi- dent of the association, for first place by one stroke. McLeod was alded by two chip shots which found the bottom of the cup, on the sixth and eleventh holes. At the end of the first circuit of the fine nine-hole course J. Munro Hunter of Indian Spring, led the professionals with an out nine of 34, but he took 43 for the last nine and finished a stroke outside the money. At the fiftenth hole his second shot buried the ball in the bank of a water hazard and he took 7 to the par 5 hole. At the seventeenth his ball again buried in the face of a bunker and he took three shots to extricate it, taking a 6 on this par 3 affair.
