Colleges FEW TILTS LISTED EARLY ARE PLAYED Cash for Guarantees Paid With No Return—Hoyas Again Delayed. BY H. C. BYRD. OLLEGE base ball teams in this section are likely to play shorter schedules next year, and open later. ‘The tendency in handling diamond af- fairs in the colleges, at least in the South Atlantic States, is to cut down the length of the sea- son. Experiences over the last few years indicate that only in unusual seasons are the teams able to get under way the latter part of March with any degree of satisfaction. Once in a great while warm weather is encountered and very satisfactory contests are before April 1, but of the first six or eight es scheduled more often than not only four or five are played, elther because of poor ground conditions or_bad weather. ‘Whether or not these early games are layed, guarantees must be paid, and the college athletic treasuries cannot stand any great strain of paying out cash without getting scmething for it. Later in the Spring it l: not ci‘»e? tbh:; canceled becauss O Seath _‘Tnd the best soluticn to the shortening of schedules seems to be simply not to try to open the season so ¥ of Virginia already Ly Unlnnl:ly‘“ it w‘l{l‘ in the future R ;égus % i b B il ; it B i off gif - | 3 5 4 E % i : i gl ok 55!3 §isEat 5 $] E:g I i e it §8 § i 5;1 L Felg i i SPORTS.
