S St. John’s Confident of Setting Down British in Lacrosse Opener Tomorrow DOPE ON VISITORS CALIBER IS SKIMPY Contest in Central Stadium Will Be First of Series for Fiannery Trophy. BY H. C. BYRD. [E Oxford-Cambridge la- crosse team tomorrow at 4 o'clock plays its first game in its third invasion of this country in the Central mg‘h School Stadium with St. John's College of Annapolis as its oppo- nent. The last visit of the English twelve took place in 1926. Nothing is known of the strength of the Englishmen. In 1922 when they played a series of con- tests with colleges in this country, they won eight games and were defeated in seven. In 1926 the English universities were woefully weak and made a poor showing. There is no basis on which to esti- mate the probable strength of the twelve that now represents them, al- though something of what may be ex- pected will be known after they meet St. John's. Down at Annapolis, St. John's ex- pects to have a real twelve. Its feeling is that it should have another of the best in the country, &s it certainly had last year. The Annapolis students be- lieve they will wind up tomorrow with the long end of the score on their side. Starts Cup Series. The game also marks the beginning | of a series the results of which will de- | termine the ownership of the Flannery Cup, & trophy named for the late John Flannery, a former Canadian who later made his home in New York, and who generally has been credited with hav- ing done much to popularize lacrosse. ‘The cup first was won by the Crescent Athletic Club of New York in 1897, ‘when it went to England and won seven games and lost five. The Crescents held the cup until 1922, when the Eng- lish universities made vheir first effort to regain possession of it. The Oxford- Cambridge team that came over that year played 15 games and won 8, which took the cup back to England. In 1923 University journeyed to Eng- land, played nine games, six of which resulted in victories, and again brought the cup to this side of the Atlantic. Syracuse that year was overwhelmingly superior to the English teams. In 1926, ‘when an Oxford-Cambridge twelve came back here, they found that lacrosse in the American colleges had advanced tremendously, with the result that the | visiting twelve made a poor showing. Visitors’ Strength Uncertain. Just what will be the situation on this invasion remains to be seen, as not even a fair conjecture can be given now. It may be that the visitors are the strongest combination ever seen in this country and it may be that they are no stronger than when they ap- peared here in 1926. It will not until after they have met St. John's tomorrow that much of a line on them can be got. ‘Three regulars of the visiting 12 are citizens of the United States, being former American college men now students at Oxford; two are from Can- ada, and the other eight native English- men. Three of the four substitutes are citizens of the United States. Two college base ball games are scheduled here today and orie tomorrow. ‘This afternoon Georgetown entertains the Drexel nine, while Catholic Uni- versity tries conclusions with Dartmouth. ‘Tomorrow's contest is between George- town and Vermont. Drexel started its schedule in this ing to make colleges. It jum in and took the measure of the es at Quantico, and the Marine Corps ball team is not anything to juggle with, but yesterday lost to a small college nine down in Virginia. Dartmouth gave Georgetown a real battle, the latter finally winning, 9 to 8, and probably will prove about as| tough an opponent for Catholic U. as | the latter wants. Vermont lost its game Saturday to Marines by 1 to 5. If Navy's performance against Frank- lin and Marshall is any criterion of its actual strength, then it is likely to be much more strongly represented on the diamond this year than in a long while. ‘The Midshipmen clouted the ball for 21 hits for a total of 31 bases in the game at Annapolis Saturday and won by 20 'lfid’:notAlndkuulb e m“i:ub‘n club that ook so bad against Georgetown here last Friday. The naming of Bob Higgins, former | be star end at Penn State, to coach foot ball at Penn State next year relieves Hugo Bezdek of a burden that he prob- ably would have been glad to get rid of sometime ago. Bezdek said some years back that he would be glad to retire from coaching if he could find somebody to fill his job satisfactorily and really expected to do just that ‘when the right man bobbed up. Evi- dently he has picked Higgins as the man. Higgins has had experience in coaching at West Virginia Wesleyan and in the Middle West. e s U. S. BEST WOMAN GOLFERS IN EVENT By the Associated Press.

Jones shot a 60, one under the course record and two under par. Dudley had a 76, Sarazen a 74 and Espinosa a 7. TENPIN CHAMPIONS GET ACTION TODAY By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, March 31.—Two in- dividual bowling champions, Joe Fal- caro of New York, world’s match-game title holder, and Adolph Unke of Mil- waukee, k to defend the singles crown he won last year, headed the list of luminaries in the American Bowling Congress competition today. In addition, Harry Gerloski of De- troit, former all-events champion, and | eddy Tocoo of Detroit, who shares the doubles title in 1926, were back with championship aims. An almost hopeless task, faced the singles aspirants. The A. B. C. record of 774 hung up by Larry Shotwell of Covington, Ky.. not only was expected to stand for the tournament, but for | some time to come. The team event starding remained unshaken after an overnight attack. Yesterday M. Halter of Minneapolis rolled 714 to_place second in the sin- gles and E. Benton and J. Benton of Detroit totaled 1,294 to tie with Hyke Thoma and Frank Kartheiser of Chi- cago for fifth place in the doubles. MOTOR BOAT SHOW LISTED NEXT WEEK A group of comely girls, clad in the latest beach apparel, will participate in the bathing beauty contest which is to be part of the South Atlantic Motor Boat Show, to be held at the Washing- ton Auditorium April 7 to 12. ‘This is but one feature of the show, the first of its kind ever held south of New York City, which is creating in- terest here. ¥ One of the most interesting parts of the show will be a deep-sea diving out- fit, which will be used in a demonstra- tion of the method of raising sunken | submarines and other vessels. | ""Of equal interest and importance will be a breeches buoy, running from the stage to the gallery of the Auditorium. This will give those attending the show an opportunity to see the method of removing the passengers and crew from a vessel which has grounded near the shore when the ship cannot be ap- proached by small boats. Motor boats displayed will include the latest in outboards, mahogany run- abouts and cruisers. The various de- partments of the Government will have displays and lighthouse equipment will shown and its use demonstrated. Equipment of the Coast Guard and the Navy will be part of the display. Directing the show is Commodore W. A. Rogers, vice president of the American Power Boat Association. o JUNIORS WANT GAME. Cardinal junior class base ballers are after & game for next Sunday.

ANDIDATES for Business High's base ball team will be- gin preparation early this week. The' Stenogs are the latest among public high squads to start drills. They will hold forth on Monument diamond No. 3, with Coach Lynn Woodworth in charge. Business’ | LEXANDRIA, Va., March 31.— | Base ball will slide into the ! local sports picture this week to fill the place left by the com- pletion of the basket ball program over the week end. Alexandria and Episcopal High Schools will open their schedules, while the St. Mary's Celtics, Del Ray A. O. and several other clubs will usher in the independent campaign on Sun- day. Episcopal and Alexandria both will get into action for the first time Fri- day, the former ergaging St. Alban’s School, in Washington, while Alexandria will be host to Hyattsville High. Episco- pal will play its first home game Sat- urday, opposing Eastern High at Hoxton iel first formal game will be with the| Field Maryland freshmen - April 17 at Col- lege Park. Business must develop pitching and | catching strength if it expects to get| The | anywhere on the diamond. Stenogs are without a single hurler of experience and the only player at hand who has done any catching is Freddy | Finley, and his seasoning has been limited. In addition to Finley, who also can first base, five members of the Stenog squad have had experience, including Chase, third baseman; Sing- man and Lucas, inflelders; Loftus, out- fielder, and Duryee, infielder or out- fielder. Formal scholl base ball compe- tition hereabout will get under way to- morrow when Emerson’s tossers travel to Hyattsville to engage the high school nine there and Gaithersburg _and Rockville High teams hook up in an intra-Montgomery County, Md., game at_Rockville. 1t is expected that there will be a deal of experimenting in the Emerson- Hyattsville tilt with a view to giving Coach Harley Sanborn of the Emerson team and Leland G. Worthington, Hy- attsville_tutor, a line on their hopefuls under fire. Neither the Gaithersburg nor Rockville coach, however, is expect- ed to make many changes as the rivalry between these nines is such that neither will be willing to take chances if his team is doing well. ‘Three more diamond contests are listed for the week in addition to the two on Tuesday. A game between Devitt and George- town Prep, scheduled for Wednesday at Garrett Park, has been postponed until a date to be announced, but on Friday Western and Georgetown Prep will meet at Garrett Park, Hyattsville High and Alexandria High will cross bats at Alex- andria and Rockville High and Char- lotte Hall Academy will mix at Char- lotte Hall. A captain for next season's Gonzaga basket ball team is to be elected early this week and members of the Purple court combination for the past cam- paign are to be awarded letters.

Man- ager Charles Corbett pushed 15 Celtic performers into the game. The lone victim of the drill was “Shorty” Gardner, second baseman, who pulled up with an old shoulder in- jury. ! Capt. Bill Langford, second baseman, was on hand, but idled rather than take any chances with his arm in the chilly breezes. Langford has worked out only twice this Spring. Leon Riley, outfielder, and “Doc” Dreifus, first baseman, did not report yesterday, Sat- urday having been their first time out on the diamond, and Trainer Harry Fiddesop advised them to keep under cover. ‘Walter Roland has been elected captain of the Clover A.
