Will Uphold Her RenOWn.
BRSTATHLRTES ARE SELECTED
Fox, McElhone, Douglass, Mahoney,
Hutchings, and Cameron Picked Out
by the Managers-Helf-mile Rum
ner Not Yet Determined Upon.
Few Colleges VIII Send Better Men.

Manager Francis B. McDermott, together
with the advisory committee OF the field
and track department of Georgetown Col
lege Athletic Association, met last night
and selected the team which will represent
Georgetown at the intercollegiate games at
Mott Haven ofiMay Pa and 20.
The men chosen We're: w. E. Fox, '97,
spriuter: Arthur NcElhone, medical, high
jumper; R. ID. Douglas, SO, long dis
broad jumper and weight thrower; j.
Hutchins, medical, bicyelist; William
o. Cameron, '9S, mile walker.
There are three men, whose relative
merits have not been fully decided upon,
contesting for place on the team as half
mile runner. They are Holt, McA nerney
and Walsh. A contest on Wednesday
next will decide which Of them viii be
taken with the team.
What Georgetown's chances are against
the cracks from all the big colleges is
merely a matter Of conjecture, as no one
can fUretell what the others aSe likely
10 do Seldom a year passes but some
new star springs a surprise 10y breaking
a record, and as this may happen in the
very events in which the locals hope TO
make their points, there is left little room
for making claims.
ALL ROUND TEAM
However, it can be said without boasting
thst few colleges will send better all
round team than that which will uphold
the glory OF old Georgetown.
They have good man TO represent them
in each and every event, and there is not
one of them that is considering anything
less than first place. big Mike" Maboney
will be a formidable rival to the best OF
them in the weIght-throwing contests, and
in the broad jump Will, IL is believed, out
distance them all. Fox, who is in The
short distance events, is a speedy and
long -winded sprinter and just the kind of
man 10 win race when there are two,
three, and possibly four, preliminary heats
He viii be decidedly in evidence in the
220-yards race.
Douglas, who Will try for the mile run
honors, has never been pushed hard
enough to show what's in him. He can run
five miles as easily as he can one, and has
no fears of being beaten by a sprint at
the finish-in fact, that is his strong
point.
HIGH-JUMP RECORD.
McElhone has beaten the best record
made in the high jump so far this year
3 feet / inches-and as he has frequently
in practice jumped over feet he can be
counted upon to win place for the Blue
and Gray if some phenomenon does not
bob up and knock out all calculations.
Hutchins win have the most difficult
line OF them all, for bicycle records are
constantly changing, and it is never safe
In mr. a lnann %
If he can strike his best gait and no one
beats the record so far made this season,
he is sure winner.
Cameron has hopes Of a place in the
mile walk. He Won this event in the
Princeton open games, a few years ago,
and has improved wonderfully since In
the last games in which Georgetown COM
peted the team did not score point which
was the same case with another Of the
big gcolleges-Princetou. This year George
town is determined upon making amends
for her poor showing and making her field
and track athletes as famous as her rep
reseutatives on the diamond.
