THE SUNDAY STAR, W4 _——’———\———’——‘———':T_“ College Spring Sports Card Here Lean : Agee Out for World Marathon Record FEW OUTSTANDING CONTESTS ON LT Field Day at Maryland Top Event of Season—Hoyas May Try Lacrosse. | BY H. C. BYRD. ! PRING athletics in the local | colleges do not hold out much in the way of attrac- tive high spots. The pro- grams for the coming two months are what the more or less eco—g nomic housewife might call| skimped, and of the just average | list of events are only two or three that stand out. In & measure, this is not a good deal different from former seasons, except that base ball will enjoy the shortest and least interesting of schedules in 30 years. Not only are the Spring events cut down in number, but they also lack especially attractive highlights. In some respects, it is doubtful if any out- | look for college sports for April and | May has ever been less attractive. Georgetown and Maryland are to earry on base ball, the former with| about half the number of games played last year, and the latter with about | three-fourths.

The next most important evenj of the Spring probably will be George- town's competition in the intercollegi- ates. e Blue and Gray will not have good men as have worn its colors in some previous seasons, but 8 is c:rtain to be represented by some who should do exceptionally well. Maryland's lacrosse games with Navy and Johns Hopkins are attractive spots in every Spring m, but nejther is to be played here. There is a pos- sibility, though, that some of the Olym- W y-off games may take place in , which would help a lot. Some of the base ball games George- town and Maryland are to play should be good, as far as college base ball goes, but, at best, there will be comparatively no general interest in them. Catholic University is trying hard to | build up its track interests and ap- tly is meeting with some success. may be that it, especially with one or two of its individuals, may ascend to unexpected heights in this sport. Certainly it seems that in the case of Hickey, at least, is has a man who may develop into Olympic caliber. If he does that also would help out in the season’s accomplishments. Tt begins to seem that some scheme of touraments, for track, base ball and tennis, may solve the problem of local colleges to make their Spring programs more interesting. At least one local school has been giving the matter a good deal of thought and now is work- ing on a development of this kind for next year. Others are said to be think- ing much along the same line. One thing certain, the local colleges have 10 make some move bigt:r‘e.sktfnm!“ ring peopama ot g _or hzve them *fall into a rut so deep that they will never be got out. NE THING given consideration by 8 local school for the betterment of its Spring athletics is the adop- tion of lacrosse by Georgetown. The | Blue and Gray is seriously looking for- ward to the day in the near future when It may take up the Indian sport. Gradu- ate Manager of Athletics Gabe Murphy remarked the other day, in discussing | Spring schedules, that he felt George- | town should take up lacrosse. He ad- mitted that over on the Hilltop a good deal of thought has been given to the | game and there is a present tendency toward it that amounts almost to a cer- #ain introduction before long. If Georgetown takes up lacrosse, the Jocal sports schedule would almost wutomatically take on greater luster, facrosse is a physical contact game, the only one played in the Spring, and it seems to be this type of game that €a) the imagination of the average [ student, and of other spectators s well In the last two years, for instance, 4n the lacrosse games Maryland has played with Navy great crowds have attended. More than 10,000 persons | ‘watched Navy and Maryland play last year, while only a handful were present | on other flelds watching Navy teams | meet other schools in other sports. ‘ If the writer remembers rightly, more than 9,000 persons watched the Olympic playoffs in lacrosse here four years ago, and paid to do it. And that means | something when it is considered that all those that have watched all other | Spring sports in the three seasons since | would hardly reach that total. This | may be something of an exaggeration, but not so much as one might think. OCAL Spring teams are working out and are enjoying almost perfect weather in their endeavors to get in shape. Base ball, track and lacrosse teams are hard at it and about the only group of athletes that are not are the tennis players. Courts have yet to be got in shape for real play However, with the ground little frozen &t any time during the year the clay courts should be ready much earlier | than usual.

This will be in May in one of the three sectional tryouts to determine the American representative in the | Olympic race. Agee not only is a cinch | to win the preliminary contest, but is considered almost equally certain to break the world record if he chooses | to_try for it. | ‘The race will be run over a well nigh perfectly flat course on the Eastern | Shore of Maryland and will present a far greater opportunity for speed than the course on which Agee threatened the record last year. The latter ex- tended for the most part from Laurel | to Baltimore and some of its hills were heartbreakers, but Agee finished strong. He covered the enth&e dl;:.u.nce &:lnh )hhe steady, springy stride that makes him remmd!uf of a bouncing rubber ball. GEE'S performance over the diff- BILL AGEE Of Baltimore, who will defend the na- tional champlonship in Washington this Summer, is a threat to crack the world record for the marathon in the Olympic tryout of May 28 on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Agee, who already has come within two-fifths of a second of equaling the record, is accounted a leading candidate for the Olympic crown. only two of 27 races, both at middle distances. He was beaten in the §-mile national and trailed in a 9-mile con- test at Berwick, Pa. He never has concentrated on the full marathon as he will this year. And, here's a queer wrinkle—in the last three years his speed at middle distances has fallen off, but for the longer stretches has increased. The farther the goal the easier his triumph. GEE is a finely made chap. Of middle height, his lines are almost classical, his legs truly so. With regard to those legs, he has something in common with Gene Venzke, the new mile sensation.
