BY H. C. BYRD. | HE Naval Academy honors | its alhletes and those in charge of its teams at a dinner tonight at 8 o'clock, in Bancroft Hall, at Annapolis. | Letters are to be awarded for all Winter and Spring sports, and a| general tribute paid to those that| have piloted Navy squads through | a successful year. | While the Navy foot ball team did | not win as many games as its predeces- | sors of 1926, 1927 and 1528 it still was & good team. No eleven was able to| get away with the Sailors except after | a hard. clese struggle in which victory hung in the balance until the whistle sounded to end play. In basket ball the Sailors had rougher sledding than in any other sport, but in the other Win- | ter competitions did well. | Navy has three Spring teams that have been going “great guns.” Base| ball, track and lacrosses quads have | been annihilating the majority of their opponents and have a wide range of victories to their credit. The ball team finished with the best record it has had in years, the lacrosse twelve has yet to meet defeat at the hands of an Ameri- can college and the track squad un- doubtedly is the strongest the Navy has ever turned out. So Navy really has a good deal in its | accomplishments of this year to look | upon with pride. Navy tries to extend every possible courtesy to its opponents, | but victory for the Navy is just as much | desired by the Navy and just as much sought as in the case with other schools. And Navy takes just as much pride in the triumphs it scores. Dr. Charles W. Kennsdy of Prince- n_ University is to be the speaker. st what phase of athlet'cs Dr. Ken- nedy will discuss is not known, but whatever his subject that subject is | certain to be thoroughly overhauled. Dr. Kennedy is in close touch with the admin‘strative end of college ath- letics. Georgetown's base ball team is at Bos- | ton today for a game with Boston Col- lege. The Blue and Gray also remains in Boston tomorrow. being listed to face Harvard. After the defeat at Holy Cross Saturday Georgetown is likely to put forth some real efforts today, tomorrow and the rest of the week | €5 make a better showing against the New England nines. | ‘The University of Maryland loses sev- eral athletes by graduation this coming June, but two of them it will miss | above any others it has lost in some time—Al Heagy and Julie Rgdice. Both are three-letter men, He: aving won his letters in foot ball, basket ball and | lacrosse, and Radice in foot ball, bas- ket ball and base ball. Both are much the same type of athlete. Besides | being good in all the sports in which | they have taken part, both are the | kind of chaps that any university | would be proud to have represent it on the athletic field or anywhere else. | As an end in foot ball, a def man | in lacrosse, and a guard in basketl ball, | ‘Heagy stood out in all three sports. He | ‘was not the kind of player to give showy exhibitions, but what he contributed in | real value io his team'’s efforts could | never be underestimated. He gave his' all in everything he did, and gave it intelligently. Radice played fullback in foot ball, guard and forward in basket ball, and first base in base ball. In backing up the line, Radice was just about as good as anybody, and in both foot ball and basket ball he had an uncanny ability | to do the right thing at the right time. | He also was just about as valuable lni base ball as any of the other players. And he also is the kind of chap who could be depended on to give the best he had, no matter what the circum- | stances. | Both Radice and Heagy cam> from | local high schools, the former Eastern and the lat from West: | WISCONSIN NINE NOW PRESSED BY ILLINOIS By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 26.—The Big Ten base ball championship race, until last Saturday almost strictly a Wisconsin affair, today was a battle between the Badgers and Dlinois Needing only one victory to win the championship, Wisconsin encountered 1ts special jinx—Michigan—and received & 10-to-4 beating Saturday. The de- feat was Wisconsin's only setback of the season, but it helped Illinois in a position to tie for the championship. Everything clepended on Wisconsin's second game with Michigan at Ann Arbor Saturéay. Illinois has finished its campaign with a record of eight vic- tories and twy defeats. Wisconsin must defeat Michigan in its final contest or share the title with the Illini. Chicago will meet Ohio State at Co- lumbus, and Indiana will play at North- western Wednesday.

There is a possibility that all of the aforementioned six will meet in the national collegiate meet in Chi- cago next month. At any rate, most of 'em will be there, and I hope I am there to see it!

EW YORK, May 26.—Picked athletes of California’s three major universities were headed toward the East today for the fifty-fourth track and field champion- ships of the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A, to be held in Harvard Stadium, Boston, Friday and Saturday All calculations point to an over- whelming triumph for Dean Cromwell’s werful Southern California squad, a ?&n rounded outfit that crushed Dink Templeton's Stanford Cardinals, an- other formidable array, 841-12 to 4611-12, in a dual meet. Stanford has been installed as the expert choice for second place, with the East's most optimistic observers expecting nothing better than third place for any of the principal _ Atlantic seaboard = arrays, Harvard, Penn, Cornell or Yale. In addition to Stanford and Southern California, the East must cope with challenges from the University of Cali- fornia, Michigan and Michigan State, o e Biop v e although these latter three are not ex- pected to figure heavily in the race for team honors. Last year the Far West won the title for the eighth time In nine years when Stanford ran away with team honors. while the East was winning 10 of the 15 individual chamipionships. Stanford, scoring in nine events, piled up a total of 45%, with Southern California's 21 good enough for second. This time the East is conceded no more than three individual titles, the | hammer throw and the half-mile and two-mile runs. In the Century the Atlantic seaboard is given hardly a look-in, with Frank ‘Wykoff, Southern California, who re- cently was timed in 94-10 seconds, without starting blocks; Eddle Tolan, University of Michigan Negro flash, who holds the world record at 95-10, and Hec Dyer of Stanford picked to fight it out for first honors. All three may run in the 220 as well, although there is a chance that Wykoff will con- fine his activities to the hundred. Eric Krenz of Stanford is conceded the discus title for the second year in & row, and his teammate, Harlow 1338 G Street N.W. Rothert, should win the shotput. Other Western stars include Bill Carls and Jed Welch of Southern Cali- fornia and Al Pogolotti of California in the hurdles, Johnny Morrison of Stan- ford in the quarter, Ken Churchill and Emory Curtice of California and Jess Morteson of Stanford in the javelin, Richard Barber and Howard Paul of Southern California and Virgll Dowell and Arnold West of Stanford in the broad jump, William Hubbard of South- ern California in the pole vault and Bob Osdel of Southern California in the high Jump. " Prank Conner of Yale is the ace of the hammer-throwers, Russell Chapman (of Bates looks like the best of the half- | milers and Paul Rekers of Penn State | will be favored in the 2-mile. In the mile the East will have for- | midable representation in_ the persons New York University, defending cham- plon, and George Bullwinkle of City College, New York, but Southern Cali- fornia offers a star in Cliff Halstead.

WOMAN’S WORLD RECORD IS HURDLES IS LOWERED PIETERMARITZBURG, Natal, May 26 (#).—Marjorie Clarea bettered the listed world record for women in the 80-meter hurdles yesterday, when she was timed in 121-5 seconde. ‘The listed world record for the 80- meters hurdles for women is 12 4-5 sec- onds, by Fraulein von Bredow of Germany, at Berlin in 1927. e S In the last 35 years 400 cities in the United States and Canada have been represented in the various minor leagues in base ball. JAVA ALL ARE PLAYERS OF PROVED WORTH Basket Ball Center, Greatest Loss. OUR members of the sturdy Busi- ness High School base ball team, which closes its schedule Saturday against Staunton Mili- tary Academy at Staunton, will be lost by graduation next month. Spencer Chase, tall first baseman: Freddy Finley, catcher; Milton Sing. man, third baseman, and Pete Loftus, center fielder, are the diamonders listed to quit Business' halls. Chase, doubtless, is the most valu- able tosser of the lot. He can hit and fleld, but is a heady player. His loss also will be felt in basket ball. He is a high-grade center. Finley is a hard-working earnest sort of athlete, He also played foot ball and basket ball Singman and Loftus also have acquit- ed themselves well in basket ball as well as on the diamond. Loftus also played foot ball. Valuable ball players listed to again be on hand when the Stenogs begin practice next Spring are Clayton Schneider, clever second sacker; Bill Duryee, capable left fielder; Albert Fratantuono, hard-hitting right fielder: Jacobson, shortstop; Frayden, catcher; Risley, first basema: d Garner and Silverman, pitchers. Devitt and Eastern will meet in & baii game in the Eastern Stadium in the only athletic contest for District scho- lastics carded tomorrow aside from the Central-Tech diamond match.
