~SPORES: ITHAGANS T0 PLAY TWO GAMES HERE Face Georgetown First, Then Maryland—YVillanova Team Forfeits to C. U. BY H. C. BYRD, e ORNELL University's base ball team is due here tomorrow for two games, the first with Georgetown, on the Washington Barracks diamond, and the second, Saturday, with Maryland, at College Park. The Ithaca nine has played three games so far on its Southérn trip, two with North Carolina and one with Duke. It broke even with the Tarheels and lost to Duke. In facing Georgetown, Cornell prob- .hly will go against the strongest nine It has met. The Blue and Gray has fl]flzd in more games, which in itself a big advantage, and it also has had greater opportunity for outdoor prac- tice. In its game with Maryland the Ithaca nine will have the advantage of having taken part in five games, having another scheduled with Duke today, but, at that, is likely to hit a team far from weak. Only one game is scheduled among the colleges today, that at Gallaudet with Vermont as the visiting team. Vermont lost another .contest yesterday, bowing to Navy by 12 to 7. The Green Mountainmen have as yet not won a game on their trip through this section, and may not unless they defeat Gal- laudet this afternoon. Gallaudet plans to start its game at 8:30. It will send on the fleld in its opener, which leaves it at a disad- vantage in view of the several contests already played by Vermont,” what it believes to be one of its best teams. Hokanson, star pitcher of the last two seasons, is to do the slab work, while Hoffmeyer will be behind the hfie ‘The other pluyen in Gallaudet’s ltne-up are likely to be Cosgrove at first, Katz at second, Brown short, Crockett third, with Zieske, Wurdemann and McMullen in the outfield. Catholic University’s game with Villa- mnova yesterday wound up unfortunately for both schools. Seldom, indeed, is it that a forfeit takes place in college base ball, yet that happened at Brookland, with Villanova forfeiting the contest 0 the Brookland nine. It seems that Um- pire Watt admonished Kobilis, Villa- nova pitcher, that he was not pitching legally. The Villanova man objected, and the catcher and first baseman are said to have joined in the argument so vehemently and stubbornly that Watt ordered them out of the game. Both men refused to go, whereupon Watt yanked out his watch and gave them the legal time to get off the fleld. When they had not left at the expiration of the time limit, Watt declared the game forfelt to Catholic University. The score at the time of the forfeit was 7 to 6 in favor of Catholic University. On the face of things, any kind of a forfeit to the home team in college ball does not look especially good, but it is difficult to see what else could be donec. ‘That is the recourse provided in the rules, and, while unusual in other than organized leagues, ought to be enforced and must be enforced if the umpire is to run the game. However, an action of that kind is the last to be taken in enllege ball, and then not if it can Ppossibly be uolded not because it would not be a just action and in accordance with the Tules, but because of the bad taste it leaves with the visiting nine. The score: Villanova. AB.H.

Navy, which has won both ball games it has played, has the lceun; that its diamond aggregati is about the best that has ever repraunted it. Not only this, but at least one Navy man goes_just & bit further and says that the Navy “may never have another in- which is saying something. Gentner is playing first base, O'Toole second; Ash~ worth, short, and Lawrence, third. Joe Byng, a former Central High player, is one of the outfielders, the other two being Fitzgerald and Stroh. Gubbins is doing practically and the pitching uufl mlde up of Bauer, star for the two years, Schults, Moore -and !-mcheock seems to be about the best the Navy has had. It might be mentioned especially in connection with the Navy team that , the one local boy who has won ace on -the nine, has batted for a thousand in the two games played. In yesterday’s settc with Vermont he got a home run, a single, a sacrifice, a walk, two stolen bases, two runs and handled two chances in the ou fleld. That seems to a somewhat ex: perienced eye to be just about as good a day as any ball pllyer eould ask for. TALL CENTERHELD UNFAIR ADVANTAGE . Basket Ball Rules Makers Considering Plans for Minimizing Pivot. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. ANY basket ball coaches are of the opinion that the tip-off has become too important a factor in the game, and before another season is on the boards, a se- rious effort to change the rules per- taining to the jump at center will be launched. The craze for centers measuring more than six-six on the hoof has made the tip-off the greatest offensive factor in the sport instead of merely the starting point for & scrimmage. A |pions. tall center who can persistently get the tip, not only can destroy the pass work of a team, but also makes it well nigh impossible to build a defense around the baskets. If all teams could muster a giant center and even matters, there would be no complaint. But only a few teams are fortunate enough to find a Stretch Murphy, and those who play the game with a middle man of 6-foot stature are strictly out of luck. Forrest Allen, the veteran coach at the University of Kansas, is one who be- lieves there will be a change in the tip- off play before next season. Two plans now are being worked out for the con- sideration of the rules committee and | resm on’:‘}?er the other likely will be adopted. bounds lnd give the ball to the team scored upon after each basket. The gther calls for two circles on either side of the present center ring. ‘The player who is to put the ball in glny stands in the circle farthest from is’ basket with other members of his Ga team behind him. The opposing five also must remain behind the other cir- cle until the referee calls “Play.” Neither of the plans may prove satis- factory and need a thorough tr{out be- fore being adopted. But the rules com- mittee is coming to the belief that the center has become to great an individ- t s to start play from out of | Baer. INTERCITY GOURT BATTLES PLANNED A. A. U. Titleholders in Four Classes Likely to Open Play on Saturday. A. U. basket ball champions of Washington and Baltimore in the unlimited, 145-pound and 130-pound classes, will each meet in @ three-game series to decide supremacy according to plans. ‘The tentative arrangement is to play the first games in Baltimore Saturday night, with the second contests to be staged here at a date to be chosen.

Up in the far Nonnwut turf gridirons are as rare as palm trees in Central Park, New York. Which is to say there is none. For one thing because of the rains grass does not take a good hold and even when it does the wetness creates conditions which militate against good foot ball when it comes to for- ward passing and general ball handling.
