SPORTS Maryland Holds Spotlight Over Week End : Oxfo TERRAPING AGTIVE “IN THREE SPORTS Dixie ~Conference Leaders| “Meet April 28 to Set Next Year’s Dates.*® BY H. C. BYRD. NIVERSITY OF MARY- LAND teams again have the week end to them- . selves, as far as competi- | tion for local colleges is con- cerned. Tomorrow the Old Liners meet Virginia Polytechnic Insti- tiite at College Park in base ball and Saturday the Virginia Mili- tary Institute is to be their oppo-| nent in a dual track and field meet and University of Gecrgia in a lacrosse game. The ball| game tomorrow is to begin at 4| o'clock, the track meet Saturday at 2 o'clock and the lacrosse game at 4. In the contest with Virginia Poly- téchnic Institute the Marylanders ought 6 have at least an even chance, and, | if anything, should have something of | an edge on the visitors. In track it is | likely that @ small margin will rest with | V. M. 1, although the apparent mar- | gnis so slight as to make it more probable Maryland can win if it gets some of the breaks. The lacrosse game with Georgia should result ih & comparatively easy Maryland vic- tory, as the former has hardly been playing lacrosse long enough to war- | rant an opinion that it stands any- | thing more than an outside chance to CAITY away & scalp. Maryland’s ball team so far has played six games, has won three, lost | two and tled one. Cornell, Virginia | and North Carolina have been defeated, | while games were dropped to North Carolina and Duke. The tie was with North Carolina State College. The la- crosse team has played twice and won shutout scores each time, from | dolph-Macon by 13 to 0 and from ‘Western M‘rglmd, 9 to 0. The track team has had one dual meet, and lost that to Washington and Lee. Catholic University is the only local | achool that plays at home today, and it has Bucknell as its opponent at Brookland. Bucknell has not been It lost the only contest t ly rnd here, going down before George- wn Monday afternoon on the Wash- ington Barracks diamond by 7 to 2. Georgetown plays Drexel at Phila- gelphia today e Blue and Gray, took the measure of the Philadelphians here earlier in the year by 10 to 2. esentatives of Southern Con- ference institutions in the South At- lantic section are to meet at Lynchburg April Spring schedules for 1931. base ball and track competitions for mext Winter and Spring will be taken care of 50 that & good deal of difficulty in dence may be eliminated. College, Duke, Virginia, Was Lee, Vi ia Military Institute, Vir- Polytechnic Institute and Mary- will be repri at the meeting, after which scl leg. for next year should be practically complete. tatives of these schools adopted this plan two years ago and it that was formed at that time also seems to have been going along fairly well, al- though there is considerable disposi- tion to let it, as & more or less formal orgmuum, die a natural death after this season. It is felt that the schedule an be arranged so that the same es ay be played without the formality of playing off postponed contests and de- ciding a championship. ‘There seems to be a dearth of good lacrosse coaches throughout the coun- try. Schools are constantly seeking men to handle the game, and, of course, are handicapped because they feel they cannot afford to lay out much money for a tutor of that sport. It is rather remarkable that Pennsylvania, which previous to this year has dore little in lacrosse, is the only school besides St. John's that has whipped the Oxford- Cambridge twelve, especially when it is considered that coincidental ~with Penn'’s greater success this year is the fact that it got two coaches from schools in Maryland, Middleton from Hopkins and Spring from St. John's. It formerly was all the rage for schools in this country to get coaches from Canadian teams, but if Maryland con- tinues to be the center of the sports development there is likely to be greater and greater demands for men from schools in that State to fill coaching jobs. However, it is only fair to mention in this connection that one of the schools in Maryland, Navy, which has annually turned out great twelves, is coached by a Canadian, Pindlayson. And Findiayson generally is regarded as one of the best. “Packy” White, Georgetown's star left-hand pitcher, is far too good for college nine. With the kind of support the team Georgetown | haes can give him, White is not_likely to lose many games of college ball, and he may not lose any. and older than the nvenglmllage man, White hurls as if he jows exactly what he is dolnfi and exactly when to do it. That play he made against Buckness, with men on first and second, when he picked up a bunt down third base line and hurled it to third with- out even so much as a glance to see |if he had a play there indicated that while he is on the slab Georgetown has at least one hurler who is well able to take care of himself and in addition gelp his teammates no inconsiderable it. MENTOR ON VACATION BACK AT OLD HAUNTS By the Associated Press. “CHAMPAIGN, I, April 17—Harry Gill, who has coached University of Tllinois track teams to 11 outdoor and 8 indoor Big Ten track championships since 1911, just can't stay away from the cinder pai Although granted & year's leave of absence last Fall, the veteran coach is back on the Illini campus months ahead of time and talking track. TLast night he watched the Tlini taper ;sfl before heading for the Kansas re- ays. He refused an offer to ucomgany the team to the relays, however, and expects to devote his leisure to golf until the Tlinols coaching school opens June 16. TURNER WILL GRAPPLE.

NNAPOLIS, April 17.—A large and varied program of Spring sports, featured by the three- cornered races among the crews of the Navy, Columbia and Masschu- setts Tech, will be presented at the | Naval Academy Saturday. Preceding the races, the new boat house, costing & quarter of s million dol- | lars, will be dedicated. One of the| | speakers will be Rear Admiral John | Hubbard, U. 8. N. (retired), in honor of | whom the boat house will be named. Now over 80 years old, he rowed on the | ?ficv crew organized at the Academy mi With a powerful and well conditioned crew, the Navy sees a fine chance of checking Columbia’s victorious career, and, at the same time, regain the place in intercollegiate rowing it once ld. Tech, under Bob Haines, also has a fine looking crew, and a great varsity race is expected. Of course, the fact that crews coached | by father and son, Richard A. Glendon at the Naval Acad and Richard J. | Glendon at Columl will give an| unique interest to the races. The races will be for varsity, junior | varsity, plebe-freshmen and 150-pound | crews. The Navy and Columbia will be represented in all four classes, while Tech did not bring its freshmen. Another event of interest will be the track competition. Virginia will bring both its varsity and freshmen teams to | Annapolis. Other varsity events will find the Navy op] to Lehigh on the diamond, Columbia on the is courts and Georgia Tech on the lacrosse fleld. Another event for the plebes is a tennis match against Baltimore City College. SWEDEN IS SEEKING ‘SON’ FROM U. S.

C, THURSDAY, BRITISH STICKMEN ADOPT U, S, STYLE Decide After First Contest That “Colliding” Makes Play More Jolly. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, April 17 (C. Mingling with that British lacrosse team at West Point and associating arising impres- sions with memories of other English teams and athletes, the writer wonders how the idea that these Britishers love the playing of the game more than -etory ever came to be established. Being normally human beings, they are crazy to win and when they fail they feel as badly about it as any group of Americans in similar plight. True, in defeat they do not gnash their teeth and tear their hair and weep or indulge in alibis and recriminations. But neither do our athletes. Our coaches may upon occasion, but even this is rare in these times. Suppose Yale and Harvard were organizing & joint outfit, lacrosse, track or what not, to go abroad and meet the English. And su that in pre- liminary practice all the Yale candi- dates showed to much better advantage. Is it conceivable that Yale, or those in charge of the enterprise, would say, “Look here, we can have & much better team and make a much better showing abroad if no one but Eli's were on this outfit. So, Harvard, you are out?” No, it is not at all concelvable. All From Oxford. Yet this is precisely what happened in the case of this current lacrosse invasion. The team was to have been a joint Oxford-Cambridge combination and is so listed in all programs of matches played in this country, whereas the fact is that the Cambri candi- the Oxonians that they were left off the team. The result was an invadin; group made up exclusively of Oxfor good one, and with games so arranged as to give the players time to recuperate from matches it is likely they would prove almost unbeatable. Their passing work deft to the point of artistry, As to the xllyln: of the game, the rst were startied, shocked and jarred by the abandon of American stickwork and the enthusiasm with which they collided with op) nts. But after the initial surprise, they decided that it made the e more jolly ‘and since then they have been tak &n tooth for a tooth in a manner to delight the dentists of both nations. Capt.

NEW YORK, April 17 (CP.A).— Talk of mysterious influences at work in Washington with the aim of throwing the Army and Navy teams neck and crop into some foot ball arena next Fall still persists. West Point knows nothing about the project. What the Navy knows, if anything, has not been revealed. But it is & fact that the athletic authorities at Annapolis have ar- ranged for the coming Fall what may be termed a flexible cchedule with respect to a late November and an early December game. The first, with George Washington University, falls on November 29, the other, in- volving Penpsylvania, is slated for December 6. In case a service game is arranged, it is the understanding that one or the other will give way. All of which would indicate that an appreciable amount of confidence in the outcome .of alleged current activities of official persons in Wash- ington exists on the banks of the Severn. WEATHER INTERFERES ©Old Man Weather threatened to wipe out all schoolboy athletic competition carded hereabout today.
