GEORGETOWN FIELD GAMES
Those Who Will Take Part in
Them and Likely Winners.
The Track Is in Fair Condition and
Many Close and Interesting Con-
tests Are Anticipated.

All is in readiness for the field and track
meet to be held at Georgetown College
this afternoon. The track has been made
little soggy by the recent damp weather,
but work is being done on it that is expected
to put ii in fair shape.
This event, postponed from last Satur-
day, is to accustom the Georgetown men
to the work before them in the coming inter-
collegiate events to take place on satur-
day. 1t is a sort of drill for that occasion.
and it may, incidentally, uncover talent
that has not yet developed itself that may
be used on Saturday by the Geo rgetownmen
TO good advantage.
There is prospect that the fourteen
events on the card will be hotly contested,
and that there will be Il good crowd out TO
see them. The entries are as follows:
1OO-yard dash-J. Walsh, a. j. Devereux,
O.P. Johnson, VIM. Fox. F. .NcAnerneyr anu
Z. Fleming.
22O-yard dash-DiIlon. and P. Fleming.

s. Doyle, and X. j Harley.
The prospect that those who excel to-
day will be likely candidates for honors on
Saturday has made all OF the students am
bilious to do their best. and predictions
as to results are interesting. or the six
entries for the 1O0.yard dash Fox and
Walsh seem to be favu-.tcs, with the
chances in favor OF Fox. In the 22O.yard
dash Dillon and Fleming are considered
very evenly matched, and no one wants to
make guess as to which will win.
The 44O.yard run is expected to be a
splendid race. J. Wefers, the brother of
the champion sprinter, and Holt are thought
to have the race in their keeping. Wefers
is said to be fast and to have lots of en-
durance, but Hollis admirers say he will
know he has had a race if he wins.
Holt and Douglas are considered the
best in the sSO-yard run. Holt won this
race a year ago in 2:l3, with Douglas a
close second. The track on that occasion
was very bad, which accounts for the time.
1t is claimed that either Douglas or Holt
can go the route I'm 2:O5, or better, but
as to which will win to-day is an open
question.
As against his three competitors, Doug
las is thought to stand the best chance in
the mile event, while j. A. Devereux is
looked upon as having u sure thing on his
brother and the other entries for the
12O-yard and 22O-yard hurdle races
The two-mile bicycle race will be a dis.
appointment If it is not hotly contested.
There are five entries. All are speedy and
gritty, and it is looked on as a hard thing
TO guess off, though Mclaughlin has many
supporters.
The mile walk, it is thought, should fail
to Fleming, while in the high jump Dillon
is looked on with favor. 1t is predicted
that Fleming will carry off the honors in
the pole vault, while Doyle is believed to
be about the best in the shot putting and
hammer-throwing affairs.
The games will begin about o'clock
and the officers W ill be as follows:
Referee, ]. n. Gallagher; judges, L.
Tracy, B. j. Wefers, F. B. McDermott,
and Peter McLaughlin; timers, W. O.
Leary and James Wefers; starters, j. d.
Delaney; announcer. o. Harsey; clerk OF
the course, J. p. O'Brien.
Another incentive to win to-day, and
| one that promises a pleasant return. is
| that the faculty of the college Will give
| the victOrs in the various events a turkey
