C—-2 BIVES THEM LI ON NEW MATERIAL Certain Amount of Mechani- cal Proficiency Also Is Taught Gridders. BY H. C. BYRD. E chief value of Spring foot ball seems to lie in what| the coaches learn. Of course, there is a certain amount of mechanical proficiency developed in members of the squad who are out for the practice, but| the real worth rests in the oppor- tunity a coach gets to find out a good deal about the capabilities of the men for various positions. That saves the time otherwise taken in September in determin- ing the positions men are best suited for and a number of other things equally as valuable. Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech re- cently summed this up about as well as anybody has when he said: “The men we use as lars in the Fall usually are members of some other varsity team in the Spring, and we spend most of our Spring practice with our fresh- man squad, trying to find out what we have to depend on in the way of material for the varsity. Spring prac- tice hardly means a thing as far as developing players is concerned, except gor 'g;nn' em a little better knowledge of mechanics of the game, but it means a good deal to us as coaches. We find out a lot about the squad, espe- clally*the freshmen, that otherwise we would not find out until too late in the Fall for the knowledge to be of much use. Where the value of better knowledge of the game comes in espectally is in such cases as Tom Mills has at Georgetown, where he is trying to teach Georgetown men a new kind . There is not the least hly proficient offensive end play in country is that developed at Notre Dame, but it is not easy to acquire the ability to do just what its ends have to do, even when they know what it is they are su) to do. Chuck Collins, coach at North Caro- lina the last four years and generally as the best offensive end Notre has ever had, spent three years orth Carolina before he was able to develop an end who could “do his 3 last Fall found one and that accounted in no| small measure for his successful eleven. ashington time in Spring practice getting en familiar with a shift. Other SPORTS. [ 18 Scholastic Events Carded For Maryland Field Day Meet E The new track probably is the best in the South. The quarter mile will be run with only one turn, and the 220- yard dash on a straightaway. The events follow: Open interscholastic—100-yard dash, 3220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 880-yard run, one mile run, 120-yard high hur- dles, 220-yard low hurdles, 12-pound shotput, javelin throw, discus throw, pole vauit, high jump and broad ju.n.ng. County high schools—100-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 880-yard run, 12-pound shotput, broad jump. Keen Competition in 1928. Fine competition marked the 1928 meet and the battle for points in the coming games also promises to be brisk. In 1928 Episcopal with 20 ints was the winner but barely defeated Devitt, which counted 19. Three North Caro- lina high schools, Charlotte, Greens- borc and Wilmington were next in order with 16, 15 and 10 points, respectively, while Tech was sixth with 10. In the county high schools competi- tion Frederick took top honors with 13 points. Towson was second with 10 and Allegheny third with 9. Records were broken right and left in the 1928 meet. Seven new standards were set in the South Atlantic events and two in the county school tests. ‘This was unusual as in 1927 only four marks were shattered in the South Atlantic tests and none in the county school events.

The same events as were contested in 1928 will be in order. The meet was omitted last year because of construction of the new running track and stands in Byrd Stadium. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1930. It seems probable that a new school will triumph in the South Atlantic events this season. If performances in- doors during the past Winter means anything, Eastern High is going to be a mighty hard team to defeat: Devitt, because of its small squad, is not ex- pected to repeat, though all its per- formers are highly capable. Some of the other teams. however, may furnish Eastern much more opposition in its battle for top honors than is generally | expected, but it will not be any of the teams in the schoolboy group in the city proper, it is thought. Hyattsville Ambitious. Several schools, including Hyattsville | High, which has the best team in its| history, figure they have a real chance| to wrest team honors from Frederick | in the county schools competition. All entries must reach the University of Maryland by April 28. Specially designed gold, silver and bronze medals will go to those finishing | first, second and third in each event and gold watches will be awarded the two athletes who score the most points in_their respective classes. In addition to the scholastic meet, which will start at 1:30 o'clock, Mary- land will hold a dual meet with Vir- ginia, to be run concurrently; the Old Line varsity base ball team will meet Catholic University at 2 o'clock and the lacrosse twelve will tackle St. John's of Annapolis two hours later, Cripple Chosen Leader Of Princeton Gymnasts PRINCETON, N. J., April 2 (#).— A cripple, Charles E. Claggett of St. Louis, will eaptain Princeton's gym team next year. A victim of in- fantile paralysis, Claggett is forced to use crutches to get around. He excels on the side horse, rings and parallel bars, averaging 10 points in each of Princeton’s dual meets this season. FIVE A. A. U. BOXERS GOING TO NATIONAL ‘Washington will send five of its A.

U.S. TYPE OF PLAY 1S MUCH SUPERIOR Shown as St. John’s Easily Beats Oxford-Cambridge in Game Here, 7-2. BY W. H. HOTTEL. RITISH lacrosse, as played by the Oxford-Cambridge team in its 7-to-2 losing game with St. John’s of An- napolis, in the Central High School Stadium yesterday after- noon, will not get any place in America. Unless the invaders change their style of attack and speed up their game generally, they will, at the best, not win more than a couple games in the series of 14 |they are listed to play in the United States.

St. John's did not have to extend itself and, in view‘of their type of attack, it was surprising that | the Britons made two and three other open shots which, with any sort of accuracy in shooting, would have registered points. Weak on Attack. It simply is impossible for the Oxford- Cambridge combination to do any scor- ing of consequence unless the Britons put more men into the attack. Yester- day they were sending, at the most, only six men down the fleld on the offense and then half dozen stickmen, finding fender men, were lucky to even get a good shot at the 6-foot netting. In contrast to the six-man offensive used by the Britons, and they were slow in getting the half dozen down the field, St. John'’s, typifying the American style of attack, converged eight men on the goal in more speedier fashion, and held the ball in its possession nearly 75 per cent of the time. With only six men going down on attack, the Britons not only were out- numbered in their efforts to score, but were placed in a hopeless position in backing u? the ball, and most of the time they lost the rubber pellet without getting a semblance of .a shot at the goal.

It is fine to have the Britons over here and they are a great bunch of sportsmen, and it is all well and good for the schools that can afford to pay the guarantee, but those who may be figuring on the “gate” to defray the expenses of putting on the game are very likely to be disappointed.
