COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB.

The Christmas holiday week is always
dull one In the gyrnnasiums OF the various
clubs. aud The Columbia Athletic Club is
NO exception to the rule.
The past week has been given up largely
to the settling up of the late carnival affairs,
which are each day showing up in Il more
favorable manner.
Beginning with next week the classes
for general ph ysical training will open
under the direction of Lieutenant Nolan.
The excellent showing made by the c.
A. c. players in the Af-Washington team
which pla yed and won from the Columbian
Varsity on Christmas day, and the ease
with which the men got themselves together,
though out of condition, makes it more than
probable that the team will play a game
on New Years Day.
The game will he pla yed against either
an all-Washington team, composed of some
OF the many college players home for the
holidays, or with the Orient Athletic Club,
still unbeaten.
1t is more than likely that the game will
be with the latter team, which is a { present,
after the c. A. c. team, the strongest here.
Nothing definite has been learned of the
intention of the howlers in the direction OF
the club championship series in ten pins,
and for. the pony ball classes.
The billiard and pool experts who are
always in trim for contests will shortly
begin their annual club championship series
In the various classes.

LIGHT INFANTRY ATHLETICS.
More than a usual amount of interest
is being shown in athletics by the Wash
ington Light Infantry members. The re-
well-knowu local athletes has largely been
the cause of all this new interest, and in
order to make it more substantial and ef-
fective the management of the athletic as
sociation has under consideration the
holding of a local indoor championship
event, open to all amateur clubs. Ii is
proposed 10 hold the meet some time next
month. The events open to all will be
the high jump, putting shot, pole vault
ing, wrestling, sparring and bag punch
ing.
For each event suitable prizes will be
given to winners, and probably to second
men.
The affair, when held, will be given on
tie same excellent scale which character
ICES the giving OF all events OF whatever
nature by the Infantry boys.
Among those who will represent the In-
faDtry in the several events are: Royce
Hoyce and McCabc in the high jump.
Brigham Waters and Hough in the shot
putting.
Harry Lee and Ernest schafhlrt in
wrestling.
Shreeve and McCabe in pole-vauiting.
Lee and McQuade in sparring and bag
punching.
Hough and McQuade, formerly OF the
c. A. c., are getting themselves in good
trim and expect to do good work for
the Infantry this winter.
Mike O'Leary of the G. A. G. will join
the Infantry aud will be decided acquisi-
ton to the athletic ranks, and. of course,
will enter the sparring contests.
Prospects were never brighter for infantry
athletics, and the holding of the open indoor
championships win tend largely to awaken
the interest In the same line in other" gyms"
