SPORTS HINE, TRACK TEAM ENGAGE MARYLAND Ball Game Tomorrow, Meet Saturday—Hoyas Add to Diamond Victories. BY H. C. BYRD. A NIVERSITY of Virginia will e, 3 send two athletic teams o, ¥ here this week, both to meet Maryland. The base ball mine comes tomorrow and the track squad Saturday, the latter | to play its part in the annual | Maryland Field day. On the dia- mond the Cavaliers have not been doing any too well, but have been making up for it with a strong ag- gregation on the track. In the two contests in which Vir- ginia and Maryland meet it would seem that the former should be a big favorite in track and the latter in base ball. The performances of the Vir- ginia squad so far in track and field sports have been so much better than anything shown by the Old Liners that it would be an upset such as seldom occurs if the former failed to win. In contrast to this, Maryland's ball team has shown a good deal more strength than Virginia’s and should be the vic- tor. Catholic University and Gallaudet play the only college ball game here to- day. The Brooklanders have been mak- ing a better showing than the Kendall Green nine and should be favored to win in the first clash of the year be- tween two local colleges. However, base ball is & queer game—one game, in fact, in which anything can happen at any time. A tennis match between Georgetown and Duke University and a track meet between Catholic University anl Mary- land Freshmen teams are the only competitions in_ which local college squads are to take part. Two college tennis matches are listed tomorrow. Villanova sends a net squad here to meet Catholic University, while Willlam and Mary racketers are listed to meet Maryland. Georgetown hung up its fourteenth base ball victory for this season yester- dav on the War College diamond, Mount St. Mary's being the victim. The score was 9 to 3. The Blue and Gray clouted out 14 hits. got fine pitching and played brilliantly in the field and such a com- bination as that hardly ever loses on a ball field. Johnny Scalzi, second base- man, was the Blue and Gray's out- standing individual, his fielding and batting both being good. McGarrigan, at short for the visitors, fielded bril- liantly and betted well, and probably did better work than any other one man in the game. He got three hits out of four trips to the plate and handled seven chances in the field. The box score: ABHOA. 301 2] Geo'town.

It is the in- tention, it was said, to play intersec- tional foot ball games, two of which are listed for next Fall, ‘and, in addition to that, meet the strongest elevens in this section, It is George Washington's de- sire to schedule contests with the best of South Atlantic institutions in all sports. It also was the expressed wish of Pixlee that games be scheduled with Georgetown. Comdr. F. G. Reinicke, e ing Messrs. graduate manager of athletics at the | Naval Academy, was the principal speaker and, among other things, ex- an. | & pressed the hope that foot ball rela- tionships between George Washington and Navy would be continued. Letters from the various ts for this year were awarded as follows: Basket ball—Capt. Robert Gray, Wil- liam Blaine, Richard Castell, Irving Fine, Willlam Hanback, Willlam Har- ris, George Hoover, Max Jeweler and John Thacker. Boxing—William Stanley, Robert Boyle, Leo Covaleski, David Cohen, John Duffalo, Harry Kleiman, William Oelschlager and Willlam Phillips. Swimming—Dean Longfellow, Robert Adams, George Connaly, Ray Edmon- ston, Merton English, Benjamin Gold- berg, Ray Lyman, Edward Strauss, Jack Polkinhorn and Willlam Thomson. Freshmen basket ball numerals—Capt. Jack Connor, Forrest Burgess, Ford Brown, Max Brown, Lee Carlin, Sidney Greenberg, John Lannan, Fred Mulvey, Wallace Preston, Edison Romig, William Wells and Arthur Zahn. ‘The most unusual conditions that ever surrounded the scheduling of a foot ball game probably govern that played last Fall between University of Geo: and Oglethorpe University. Late last Spring, it seems, Coach Harry Mehre of Georgla went to Dr. Sanford’s office, Dr. Sanford being in control of Georgia athletics, and asi that another foot ball game be scheduled and that Ogle- thorpe University be taken on. And furthermore, Mehre said he wanted the game because he felt that Oglethorpe University could beat Georgia in the opening. Here is the way Mehre put it: “Dr. Sanford, I want you to schedule us another foot ball game for next Fall. I want to play on the last Sat- urday in September and I want you to take on Oglethorpe University, because I believe they can beat us on that date.” Dr. Sanford almost fell out of his chair at that request, followed as it was by the conclusive statement. When he recovered himself sufficiently to say something, he replied: “Mehre, what are you talking about, asking me to schedule a team for the opening game that you say will beat us? That would ruin our Yale game on October 12, and I'm not going even to think of it. I never heard of such a request coming from a coach.” “But, Dr, Sanford, in that you are mistaken, as instead of ruining our Yale game it will make that game. We will get the crowd for the Yale game any- way and our showing in that game will make or ruin us. Oglethorpe will beat us, but the reaction from that defeat will enable us to beat Yale.” Dr. Sanford, still incredulous, refused, but said he would bring the matter to the attention of the athletic coun- cil. He did, and Mehre pleaded his caee before the athletic council and the athletic council voted to play the game, Dr. Sanford and one other man voting against it. The game was played and Georgia was beaten, 2 touchdowns to 1. There was great chagrin on the part of those who voted for the game, and Dr. San- ford and the other members of the board, with tears in their eyes, thanked heaven they had voted it. Mehre said nothing except “Wait until after the game with Yale.” Everybody back in his mind that Mehre had just about put himself in a position to look for another job. However, the e game came and Georgia, in a brilliant display of foot ball, won. Just after the game Mehre, more or less bash- fully, walked by Dr. Sanford and grin- ned rather wholesomely, and Dr. San- ford and his alumni member of the council gave Mehre their wholehearted congratulations, but, as an afterthought, added in unison: “But, damn it, Mehre, if you laugh again we'll fire you tonight.” CARD FRESHMEN TRIM TERRAPIN YEARLINGS n 8-3 victory over the Maryland P‘r%uhmen made it two in a row for the Catholic University yearlings.

THE EVENING WESTERN'S SEASON MAY HAVE ARRIVED | Defeat of Tech, 8-4, Is Seen as Possible “Break” for Coach Moore. BY ED. FULLER, JR. &« 8 Cliff Moore, popular Western High coach, finally going to get l a break?” There are today many who believe that he is following the 8-4 ia | triumph scored by his boys yesterday over Tech in the opening game of the public high school base ball champion- ship series. Tough luck has dogged the steps of | Moore in the past two seasons as coach | of the Western basket ball team, this is his first year as diamond mentor. In both court campaigns Moore has led his boys in gallant battles for the championship, but each time the quint in red has fallen just short of its goal. Each season it has finished second in the series race. In 1929 when Moore first tutored the basketers of the West possession of the runner-up post. e past Winter they finished in a tie Wwith Eastern and Central for second. Each season it was Tech that gained the crown. So you can imagine just how luscious that win over the Gray yesterday is to Western adherents. Refusing to take any credit for his nine's triumph Moore today paid high tribute to the work of the team. He said that he had all the confidence in the world in the ultimate outcome, at least once Western got well ahead and that when Bill Payne, who gave a fine exhibition of hurling, appeared to be faltering & bit in the ninth and Tech scored three runs before an out was made he still had confidence in Payne and the team. “The bunch was just a little careless. I felt sure that they would snap out of it,” Moore said today. Payne’s pitching and Oliver’s hitting were the high spots for Western. Spigel of Tech failed to measure up to expec- tations. ‘The score: Western, > EREST .- Sumraanacd 5l wounusoro® Sl aascal PRURED -1 8l wosmoromnad 5| cuonnuoosn® =1 51 al on Pavne, 6. off Russell, 3 I y Spigel. §; assed b pite Business Eastern Central ‘Tech Western, 8; Tech, 4.
