Maryland-St. John’s Lacrosse Game Tomorrow Fealures Week-End Sports Card TEAMS WILL BATTLE AT COLLEGE PARK Both Unbeaten, and Game Has Important Bearing on National Title. HE fastest game on two feet; the dash of basket ball; the crash of foot ball.” That is what lacrosse has been labeled and a game of the stick-wielding pastime, invented by the American Indians, that will have great bearing on the national cham- plonship, will be played at College Park tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 when Mary- land P]I)l host to St. John's College of Annapo eryland St. John's and Navy have been picked by the experts as the three teams which stand out in the race for top honors and the Old Liners and Jol ies will be battling tomorrow to remain in the front running. All Have Fine Records. By defeating the inexperienced Georgia ‘Tech team, 14 to 0, yesterday at College Park, Maryland won its fifth straight ame of the season and became the eading scoring twelve of the country, with 61 points to 2 for its opponnents. The Old Liners have beaten New York University, 10 to 1; Randolph-Macon, 16 to 0; Cornell, 11 to 1; Hobart, 10 to 0, and Georgia Tech, 14 to 0. St. John's aiso has won all its five gmu. downing Western Maryland, 13 4; Baltimore University, 17 to 1: Army, 4 to 3; Rutgers, 9 to 2, and Swarthmore, 10 to 2. Navy has conquered New York Uni- vemty 11 to 0; Randolph-Macon, 13 :?, w, Lehigh, 11 to 1, and Lafayette, St. Johna defeat of Army at West Point is the most notable victory regis- tered by any of the three teams. Army in turn beat Johns Hopkins, which along with Rutgers, Maryland and Navy, ‘was ranked at the top last year. Both Rutgers and Hopkins had their 1928 teams riddled by graduations. St. John's and Navy kept practically their full strength, while Maryland lost only four of its regulars. Evans Is Leading Scorer. Bill Evans, Washington boy, will go into the St. John's game as the coun- try's leading scorer. He has chalked up 22 goals in five games. Paris of Navy Ls next wlth 16, while Thomsen of 8t.

Talbot Riggs, alias Tody, former Maryland star, now athletic director at 8t. John's; Dinty Moore, the popular coach of the Johnnies, and quite a few ol his players saw the Maryland- ‘ech game. Moore, as usual, was eonservmve. predicting “a great game” tomorrow, but the optimistic and effervescent Riggs, as usual, could give %::t %el“l another pitchfork and still Dodson Lost to Maryland. Maryland will have to take the fleld ‘without , star defense player, ‘who has an injured leg. Otherwise the teams will have their full power. Here is how they will take the field: Maryland.

Georgia Tach offered the more-ex- rienced Maryland team little oppos tion in their lacrosse game yesterday. The Old Liners started scoring early end at the half were leading, 7 to 0., After the first 15 minutes many reserves saw duty for the Old Liners, Heading Maryland's attack was Smink, who scored three goals. Evans, Roberts and Koons each counted two. Catholic University's scheduled base ball game with Univefsity of Delaware yesterday at Newark was called off be- cause of rain. It was the first contest of a three-game Northern jaunt. Leo Sexton, Georgetown’s versatile athiete, hasn't nearly reached the apex of his prowess, say the physical experts. He has grown a trifle too fast. A marked increase in the big boy's en- ected in another year. At the age of 20 he weighs 820 pounds. Little is expected of Clarfon Cosh as a decatblon performer. He has speed of hoof and a lion heart, but the youth could stand more He may develop. Catholic University’s sport interest has turned to track. The students have given base ball the needle. They turned out several hundred strong the other day to see the Cardinals and Maryland Tarrapins in competitive training on the cinder path. It wasn't a_ regular meet, but the wundergrads whooped 1t up for old C. U. anyway. Chick Meehan, who builds his foot ball team around one or two outstand- ing stars, is grooming Follette to take the place of Ken Strong, who was New York University's big shot in the back field last Fall, with Folletts helping out manfully in the interference. Chick is barely 52 feet tall, but he was almost a dominant figure at ti recent Varsity G dinner of Georgatown. A wining personality and a gift for tpining yarns made him so. “Keen as a new razor blade” is a phrase that might have been coined for Meehan, Tad Jones, whose forbears were Welsh, frankly envied Chick his Irish wit, It is the hope of the Rev. Dr. W.
