READY FOR MOTT HAVEN
Georgetown Lads Preparing for
Intercollegiate Games.
MAHONEY'S GREAT RECORD
Captures All the Field Events-Cam-
eron Walks Fast Mile with Sulli-
van Close Up-Three-Iegged Race
Was Very Funny and Was Won
by Dixon and Nash.

Yesterday was field day at Georgetown
College 1t was the one day in the
collegiate year, at least as FAR as
athletics are concerned, in which all the
students took especial interest.
This arose from the fact that yesterday
was the date chosen for the members OF the
College Athletic Association TO give their
final exhibitions OF skill preparatory 10
taking part in the Intercollegiate tourna-
ment which viii be held at Mott Haven,
N Y, on May pa and %.
There is an old saying among the students
that it is only necessary 10 advertise a
game and deluge is sure TO follow. Though
it did not rain yesterday, the plentiful show
ers that fell on Monday prevented the
carrying out OF the programme as pre-
viously arranged.
GROUNDS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE.
1t was the intention to have the field
and track events come off yesterday, but
the campus grounds were soggy and in no
condition for swift running. The track,
events. therefore, were postponed until
to-day. when it is hoCed the grounds viii
be in better condition.
The entries yesterday were the pick or
the athletic association, and these did
such exceptionally fine work az TO cause
right in it, 1t Mott Haven.
Big George Mahoney, the particular
pride OF the college athletes and the star
pitcher OF the baseball team, got first
place in every event.
w. E. Fox proved he could Go the 100
yard race pretty close under ten seconds.
w. G. Cameron surprised everyone by
covering the mile walk II eight minutes.
Joe sullivan was the other entry in this
event who did not drop out, and he came in
ten seconds behind Cameron.
The most amusing event of the afternoon
was the three-legged race. There were ten
entries, but only two could stand the pres
sure-Dixon and Walsh and McManus and
OBrien.
In the team race the class of 80 fell
out This not owing to lack of skill or
endurance, but because Mr.. Raymond
Baby's russell shoes stuck fast in the mud
and left him in his stockings.
VERY GOOD SHOWING
When it is taken into consideration that
the athletes have not been practicing
for some time; also the unGaYorable weather
and the bad condition of the grounds the
| showing yesterday was unusually fine
and great hopes are enteFtained that the
boys will bring back, several firsts
from the intercollegiate meet.

| Intercollegiate Association is of consid-
cradle Importance to the colleges all over
the country, as those who take first place
