BASE BALL, TENNIS, TRACK TEAMS TOL Hoyas Hosts in Two Diamond Games—Maryland Nine Takes Jaunt. » v games at home, Mary- land’s away on a trip, American U. opening in tennils and Maryland due to begin its track season with ‘a dual meet, Spring sports schedules for local colleges this week get under way for the stretch that runs until early in June. University of Vermont and Penn State come here for with Georgetown, the former on Thursday and the latter Saturday. Maryland, on consecutive days, inning tomor- row, meets Virginia Military Institute, Washington and Lee, Georgia twice, North Carblina State, and North Caro- lina University. Saturday the Mary- land track squad opens its season with the Virginia Military Institute at Lex- ington. American University E:l-“ its first_tennis match with Hopkins. What the prospect for - successful scasens for local schools is hard to eay. Some of the teams seem to give every indication of being much strong- er than usual, while others do not give 80 much promise. However, after every- thing is over, it probably will be found that about the same kind of schedules heve been gone through that have been played every Spring for many years, Wwith some teams successful. some not, end some just about 50-50. TORCETOWN split even in its two games at Lexington. With pros- pects for an exceptionally good ball team, it went down before Wash- irglon and Lee by a score of 8 to 0, which hardly was as favorable an in- dication as had been looked for. In the second game, however, it turned right around and played fine base ball, winning from Virginia Military Insti- easily. matter what may be the result of Ceorgetown's season in the re- Aflfiop than L ¢ H.

The bulk of the strength of the nine of last year is back in uni- form and there are two pitchers of proved worth. Of course, the Blue and Gray has had little chance to get in good shape. The weather has been such that its pitchers are far below the form they ought to reach to start real competition and the balance of the team has suffered correspondingly. A few days of warm weather is pretty Ilccmw 'mordk. dm.:hm“m cerned, an d hel] pitchers tremendously. D Maryiand, while it lost many good men from its 1930 squad, is expecting to have a pretty fair nine. It shou!d get piiching above the average, have a capable flelding aggregation and about :fug:mnb""m as usually is found in cge line-ups. Coach Shipley sizes up tae situation as follows: “We have a fairly good team, al- thmhwmmthgflrfll&wu we would like to be, weather has provented us doing the kind of hard praciice every ball team must it it 15 to develop as it should, and may hurt our ¢hances against teams further Scuth that have had better weather. If Batson comes through in pitching as well as he did last year, and the other fellows measure up to what we expect of them, we should have a fairly suc- cessful scason.” On the track Maryland is not look- ing for much success. It has a long, hard schedule, and poor material to build a team. Coach Eppley says that “the way I look at our situation this year is that we just have to go ahead and do the best we can.” Catholic University does not open its track scason until April 18, but it ex- pects to clean up, according to a state- ment from one at Brookiand. Anyway, the Brooklanders have the best outlook for track that they have ever had in that spcrt, and Coach Griffith is rather cptimistic about the situation. A «at C. U. which brings out into athlctic competition many more students then formerly took part in athletics, is working out well as far as track is concerned, because the type of competition is s0 varied that it often i3 said that any man, if he sticks out for track, can find some event in which “he can make good. 'OM KEADY, who is spending his last year with the Marines, is to coach the New York Giants, prd- fessional eleven, next Fall. And the chances are good that he will have a|b team capable of whipping almost any opponent. Most of the professional teams are coached by players and it has been for this reason that the profes- sionals seldom have seemed to be the efficlent machines that the colleges are. However, with Keady in charge, it is likely that New Yorkers will see something in the way of a professional eleven that they have not gazed upon in many moons. Keady now is at Quantico, where he is conching the Marine base ball team. ‘Washington and Lre and the Univer- #ity of Maryland have shifted their foot ball game for next Fall from November 14 to November 21. This was agreed to by Marylend in order o give Washing- ton and Lee a chance to play Princeton on November 14. This J-aves Maryland with an open date on November 14, in- stead of the one customamly left open on the Saturday before Thanksgiving In all probability the Old Line school will make no attempt to fill the date and will be idle that day instead of the following Saturday. OCAL colleges are planning to let their foot ball squads go from Spring practice during the Easter holidays. As soon as te holidays are over they will go back to the dally work- buts, which are slated to continue until about the first of May. Spring foot ball practice at the Navy this year is taking on a new aspect. More attention is being given to the squad than in any previous Spring, as every ore at Annabolis seems to realize that, with an entirely new system of play, especially as far as offense.is con- cerned, it wil take a lot of hard work to turn out the kind of foot ball team the Navy wants, Navy's team next scason is pretty sure to be a far different offensive ag- ! gregation. The type of play that Coach “Rip” Miller will give his squad varies greatly from that used by Ingram, who row is at California. Miller, incidental- I7, 1s making no predictions but he liéves he should be able to turn out g00d eleven. and says in regard to Naval Academy officials: “Everybody down at is treating me with the preatest consideration, and I could not @sk for bett’r co-operation than is be- ing given me.” VOLLEY BALLERS TRAVEL Twelfth Street Y.

Lo BASE BALL OUTLOOK AT NAVY IS BRIGHT | Mohler Expects to Develop Best Nine He Ever Has Coached, He Declares. llege, at ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 28—In- terest in base ball may be fading at some colleges, but it appears to be on | the upgrade at the Naval Academy. . The Middies, though, will have to hustle to be in trim to open their cam- paign against Vermont next Wednesday. Ernest (Kid) Mohler, head coach, is again being assisted by Tom Heder- man, former shortstop, and a well bal- anced team, with plenty of pitching talent, seems assured. Mohler belleves that he will have a stronger team than any he has coached. Schultz and Coombs of the old men and Davenport, who was wi plebes last season, look like the best twirlers, though some others of promise are Englehart, Thompson, Hitchcock and Campbell. ‘The place of Gubbins behind the bat must be filled and Torgerson and Hur- ley, both change catchers last season, are aspirants. Torgerson is more ex- perienced. Mohler is breaking in Wes Byng, hard-hitting outfielder of last year, as a first baseman. Other candidates are Carroll and Hunter. All three are left handers. Mohler believes that he will have a| particularly strong infield. Capt. Ash-| worth has the call at second and Hodg- | kins, a crack fielder and hard hitter, | looks like the shortstop. Raysbrook, | Ward or McEachern will be picked for the hot corner, | ‘Three fast, hard-hitting outfielders | will be picked from Fitzgerald, Lever- | ton, Bunce, Porter and Leaf of last year's squad, and Robertson and Cos- | tello furniehed by the plebes.

Following the contest with Georgia, Maryland will meet Washington College and Western Maryland prior to begin- ning & string of hard struggles with Syracuse, Penn State, St. Johns, Rut- gers, Hopkins and Navy in that order. If the Old Liners ars in condition by the Syracuse game Faber will be satisfied. Four of the six places to be filled on the Old Line team formerly were held by all-American players. Loss of the stellar Bill Evans for the last two years the country's high scorer, is the biggest that the team has suffered by graduation but until Skippy Faber, brother of Coach Faber, and Stieber pulled up with injured knees, it appeared that the Old Liners would be able to muster a finely balanced of- fense. Stelber, though not in good trim, is again practicing, but Faber has been forced to the use of a cane and may not play again this season. Faber had been hopeful of using Steiber and Faber at the homes; Colo- simo, Lee and Ronkin at first, second and third attack, respectively, and Gor- don Pugh, at center. Jack Norris, one of the two defense first-stringers of a campaign ago, also has suffered a knee injury and has been unable to take part in strenuous work. ‘With Faber on the sidelines, Ronkin has been Pnt at home with George Hockensmith, from last year’s freshmen twelve, taking Ronkin’s position.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 28.—Six dual matches, evenly divided between members of the Intercollegiate Boxing Alsociation and non-members, will make up the schedule of the Naval Academy team next season. It has not yet been determined whether Navy will retain its member- ship in the association. ‘The members of the association of the Navy scheduled for next year are Pennsylvania, which will be met in Philadelphia, and Western Maryland and Syracuse. ‘The three non-members are Virginia, North Carolina and Louisiana. Augmented by midshipmen who have completed their season in some Winter branch of sport, the naval Spring foot ball squad reached 90 in number. One of the recent additions is Joe Davis, the boxer, who will try for quarterback position.

These backs are about evenly divided as to the varsity and plebe squads of last season. Denny, Davis and Jones, the last named, a fast man from the plebe squad, last season, are the outstanding candidates for the quarterback position. Hurley, who is playing base ball, and Hampeon, are two important backs who have not reported.

Ping admits it was & great ball club, that managed by Harry Smithson, but | not the one with the most potent bat wielders. “Give me Brooke Lee's Silver Spring team,” chirps Ping. “That was the club that packed a wallop.” Purdy will find Elenty of supporters, no doubt, who hark back to the subur- banites who reigned on the sandlot throne from 1920 to 1925. On that Silver Spring team was Lem Owen, the peanut-eating pitcher. Lem was in his prime then. “Givvy” Gilo- vanetti, a truly great sandlot catcher, was behind the bat. Monk Fraser, who manages John Blick’s Arcadia bowling lleys, was on first base, Monk later went up with the New York Gilants and was with McGray when Washington and the Giants battled in the 1924 world series.

One Sunday, with Brinkman, all- high pitcher for Central, on the mound the Wonders nosed out the over-con~ fident Silver Spring aggregation by 3 2. Purdy points to the sudden rise in fame of the Wonders after that game just as proudly as he does to the many victories won by the Springers. “That showed how good we were rated,” Ping observed. Both teams chosen by Purdy were among the greatest of all- | time local teams, at least. No doubt many other old timers have still other cholces, but both Ping and Helnie agree on the same thing—that sandlot base ball, played then, was better than that of today. It leeyml. taking it from the vets, the | chiet source of trouble today is in the lack of pitching.
