D—2 SPORTS. THE EVEN. G_STAR, WASHIL NGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, -193v. SPORTS. C. U., Maryland Diamonders Being Tested : Manor Club to Open “‘Woods” Nine CARDS, OLD LINERS FIGURE’ MATERIAL Both to Open Seasons Next Week, With Brooklanders Playing Tuesday. BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY and Maryland have been work- ing out their ball squads in short games the last week in an effort to decide on their regular line-up. Both schools open their schedules next week, the former with Dartmouth on Tuesday and the latter with Cor- nell Saturday, and are anxious to fet the best men set in the regu- ar jobs so that they may get as much practice as possible work- ing together; in short, to develop team play. ‘The batteries of both schools, of course, will change with different games, but the remainder of the teams | are likely to remain compact for the year, once they finally are picked. The | Brooklanders have lined up most fre- quently with Gioffre at first base, Blasi at second, Gollordao at third, Walsh at shortstop, with Dunn, Pfeiffer and Murphy in the outfield. Maryland still has one position about which there is some doubt, third base. However, Gaylor, who held down the job last year a big part of the time, seems again to be winning his way through to a regular berth. The other positions seem to be about settled. Juile Radice, shifted from second base | %0 first, seems perfectly at home, and bids fair to be a real first-sacker. Ber- ger is holding down the job at second, Chalmers at short, with the outfleld made up of Cronin, May and Hetzel. Both Catholic University and Mary- land are expecting much better teams than represented them last year. Georgetown opens its home base ball season today on the Washington Barracks grounds, with Franklin & Marshall as its opponent, at 3:30. The Blue and Gray will have in competi- tion about the same line-up that start- ed the season so well in games last week in North Carolina. Tomorrow afternoon Dartmouth will be George- town's opponent on the same field. “Foot ball still is in the hands of college men, still is a college e, and always will be,” sald Tom ‘honor sxt last night at the dinner of the 1d Line Club, University of Maryland alumni organization in Washington. “You hear a lot about foot ball having t out of the hands of colleges, that belongs to the public and now is only 5 ;cle‘. lb!:t it mm really just let him couple of tickets to i i § has a spirit among . its like of which I have seen on no of g5 ls in talking to the Maryland alumni group not only talked well, but | gmd\lced an impression of sincerity and | lesty that made him instantly well liked.

HYATTSVILLE HIGH TRACK TEAM IN SEVERAL MEETS HYATTSVILLE, Md., March 28— Hyattsville High School's track team will begin M;:Jo ting for the outdoor n camj , Its first engage- ment outdoors will be in a triangular meet with Gallaudet freshmen and ‘Western High early next month. A mile relay team will be entered in the Penn Relays, marking the first time Hyattsville has ever been repre. sented in this carnival. Hrmsvme will compete in the Uni- versity of Maryland interscolastics May 3 and in dual meet with the Mary- land freshmen May 24. Dual affairs with Washington-Lee High of Baliston, Va., and Tech High of Washington are pending. Dave Torrance, miler, who was un- able to compete during most of the in- door season because of an inj foot, has recovered. In his only appearance in the outdoor campaign Torrance laced fourth in the University of irginia meet at Charlottesville. ARMSTRONG FIVE WINS | BASKET BALL TOURNEY | Armstrong Tech High School’s basket | ball team of this city won the national colored scholastic tournament staged recently at Hampton, Va. Institute. Fourteen teams from seven States competed. To win the tourney crown Hampton captured three games in a row, showing strength in all departments. LEAGUE HONORS TAKEN BY DUNBAR HIGH QUINT Dunbar High School's basket ball team won first honors in the reorgan- ized South Atlantic Scholastic lflg:r capturing seven of eight games. Of teams in the league were Armstrong ‘Tech and Cardozo High of this city, Douglas %o! Baltimore and Howard High of , Del. Dunbar defeated each of these teams twice except Armstrong. During the campaign Dunbar lost only 5 games in 23. F. H. Perkins coached the team. < e POLO FIELD IS PLANNED. Wichita, Tex,, is to have a turf polo fleld. C. H.

The many friends of this great coach and splendid fellow will be distressed to learn that he is in bed again down in Miami. He will be in Florida another month at least, and then will go to the Mayo Brothers’ Hospital at Rochester, Minn. The result will depend upon what the fa- mous physicians can do for him and how he takes care of himself. The fact is, Knute has no ides about the proper conservation of his health. After his long rest in Flor- ida, he visited Miami University the other day, inspecting the foot ball squad, walking about the campus and through the buildings. Returning to his hotel he went to bed—and there he is now. NAVY NINE IN FIRST BATTLE TOMORROW ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 28.—Sports for Winter and Spring overlap at the Naval Academy tomorrow, fencing and indoor rifle matches remaining from the schedule of the former, while a base ball game with Franklin and Marshall in- augurates the outdoor season. The fencing match, with Pennsylva- nia Athletic Club, and the rifle match, against Massachusetts Tech, are the last duflr"evenl& on the schedule of Winter spor However, on the following Saturday, April 5, two important general events are scheduled at the Academy, the na- tional collegiate indoor rifile match and the preliminaries of the Intercollegiate Fencing_Association. by Tom Hederman, one of the best short stops who has played for the Navy, it Is believed that a nine of above the usual standard will be put on the field. It looks strong in every particular. The varsity line-up is: Catcher, Gubbins; first base, Gentner ; second base, O'Toole; third base, Lowrence; short stop, Ashworth; left feld, Fitagerald; center field, Byng; right field, Porter or Struh. CATHOLIC U. FROSH NINE TO BE STRONG each ‘Dosition Icluding Saeat ot mece n g many of more than usual promise indications are that University will have a formidable freshman base ball team.

Twelve players start as a team and for the time being are free from the beguiling insurance hazards. Foot ball players are cquipped with helmets, braces, pads and doodads to prevent excessive wear and tear on the skin and its contents. Gladiators of the caulifiower industry wear padded gloves, presumably to protect their opponents from permanent injury. La- crosse players are dressed in B. V.

There are rules and regulations in the modern game, but few spectators would suspect it.

BY WALTER McCALLUM. HAIRMAN DAVE THOMSON of the Manor Club greens com- mittee, hopes to open the *woods” nine of the course to- morrow or Sunday, depending on how quickly the course dries out after rain of midweek. The first nine of the regular 18-hole layout at Manor has been closed since last Fall, and the members have been using the second nine of the regular course and the so- called “inside nine” which is used by the woman players during the golf | season. During the Winter, Greens- keeper Hines has been busy clearing out the woods and cleaning up the fairways of the new first nine holes, which was opened last May. The first nine, when use, makes Maror one of the hardest tests of golf about Washington, and demands unerring accuracy from the It was laid out by Harry Collis of Chicago. When are Winter rules not Wiriter | rules? The answer is, according to Al- bert R. MacKenzie, when a ball driven into the rough may be teed. MacKenzie | and Miller B.. Stevinson, the District | champion, have divergent views on what ‘Winter rules permit the player to dn.‘} MacKenzie claims that under Winter | rules, as they are being played at most | of the clubs, the ball may be teed only in the fairway. Stevinson avers that it may be teed anywhere on the course, with the exception of sand trap® and water hazards. Almost every time they play together they have a merry little discussion as to what sort of Winter rules they will play, Stevinson insisting that the ball shall be teed in the rough and MacKenzie insisting equally em- | € phatically that it shall be teed only in the fairway. Inasmuch as most of the Columbia golfers are teeing the ball in the rough nowadays, Stevinson usually wins the ent. The concession probably the Columbia course several strokes easier than other | courses about the Capital, for the ball may find a bad lie in the rough and be | at bia, while at the other | courses a ball driven into the rough must be played where it lies. None of the seven Washington pro- fessionals who started in the last two rounds of the North and South open championship at Pinehurst today have more than an outside chance to finish in the money. Fred McLeod of Colum- bia, veteran winner of the open cham- pionship more than two decades ago and a former winner of the North and South, led the Washington contingent yesterday with & pair of 78s for a 36- hole score of 156—10 shots back of the | leader, who turned out to be a prac- | tically unknown professional, Henry Picard of Charleston, S.

Gruver had three birdies during the round, however, each birdie counting for two pars under the arrangement they have had in effect for several years. It sounds hard to believe, but a hole- in-one has just been made at Rock Creek Park, and it was not on the short fifth, which measures 97 yards from tee to green. It came on the seventeenth hole, which is a far more difficult hole than the fifth, and was made by George W. Scott. The hole is played from & a big green surrounded by woods, and measures 162 yards from midtee to midgreen. ~ Scott played the shot with a three iron and had the pleasure of watching it trickle into the hole.
