SPORTS POPULAR DEMAND BRINGS BACK MEET Invitation to Schoolboys of | Other Sections to Be | Considered. U fleld day this year as usual, with a program about the | same as the programs of previous years. The event takes place Sat- urday, May 6, and will include the | annual interscholastic meets, as well as intercollegiate contests. | The possibility exists that this year | high and preparatory schools of other sections may be invited, as well as those | of Maryland and District of Columbla | for the open interscholastic events. | However, the usual events for the county high schools of Maryland will be closed. There was some thought of not holding the meet this Spring, but | #0 many inquiries have been coming in | about it that it was reconsidered. Rutgers will be Maryland's opponent in the lacrosse game, the feature event. ‘This is to begin at 4 o'clock. Johns | Hopkins is scheduled to meet Maryland in a dual track meet, to be run concur- rently with the interscholastic meet, | and Duke University will oppose the ©Old Liners in a base ball game. ‘The Maryland meet first took place back in 1910, and has been restricted in most years to District of Columbia | and Maryland high schools. It has been | productive of some excellent competi- tion, and many of the records are held former Washington high school | etes. | 'YRACUSE originally was to play lacrosse at Maryland on the fleld | day achedule, but a cancellation of | all Spring sports by the New Yorkers E:\'enum Rutgers, which was to have n played earlier, arranged a shift that enabled it to come to College Park. | A rearrangement of Maryland’s la- erosse schedule has been effected, under which six games will be played. The | season originally was scheduled to open | at College Park with Penn State on | April 15, but this game has been shifted | to State College on May 13. Washing- | ton College, which was slated to play | at College Park May 13, now will ap- g:-r there April 29. The season is to | opened with Navy at Annapolis on April 22. The other contests are with | Johns Hopkins on May 20, and with St. John's May 27. the Hopkins game | st Baltimore at Homewood Field and the St. John's at College Park. Catholic University and Maryland were scheduled to get together last Saturday for a foot ball scrimmage, but about an inch of anow prevented. Prob- ably the first setto between the squads will be held Wednesday. YOUNG war is on between some of the colleges and the lacrosse | assoclation over the amount of payment of officials for the coming sea- so0~. It seems that, without consulting th~ colleges, the association decreed th: ° officials were to be paid so much | and notice to that effect was sent to the colleges. colleges got up on their hind legs and said they did not propose to be dictated to in the amount of money to be paid to officials, that they thought officials were being paid too much anyway, and that they would name a price and if the association did not care to go along with the colleges’ idea of what they felt | able to pay then the colleges would select their own officials. And that was that. There is not the least doubt that a | distinct feeling exists generally among colleges that too big a proportion of the costs of some games are going toward payment of officials and ex- penses of officlals. Many basket ball games were played last Winter at which | officials were paid more than the entire gate receipts. Two or three foot ball games took place in this immediate vieinity at which the officials got more | in fees than the colleges collected for | their share. It seems very much as if | BY H. C. IY;D.
