tons the performances were not of high
order. the American representatives Win
ming with ease.
In one event, however, a record which
had stood for centuries was broken. This
was in throwing the discus, where Robert
Garrett, captain Of the Princeton team, de-
featcd all the Greek competitors at their
favorite game. His throw was considered
something phenomenal by the spectators,
being 2915 meters, or 95 feet 1913 inches
What makes this performance seem all the
more wonderful is that Garrett had never
seen discls until the day of the contest
when he practiced a short time before the
games
His Grecian opponents were champions
at the game, and were much chagrined at
their defeat. Garrett eIso won second
place in the broad jump. first place in the
shot put and tied for second place in the
high jump. Capt. Garrett was considered
the best all-rGund athlete at the Olympic

and calculated to give Georgetown pretty
hard tussle. In view of the closeness of
the games played by Virginia with Hobart
which Georgetown defeated the last named
nine, 1t would seem as though the blue and
gray will have no difficulty in vanquisning
the base ball aggregation from the Univer-
sity of Virginia.

agricultural boys lost their first game with
the Gallaudets last Wednesday, and since

In the Georgetown team there have been
several changes. Maloney being too light
for Mahoney's terrific delivery, Flynn was
put In at A recent game as back-stopper
He Is new at the position, held the balls
fairly we'll, but was unable to throw the
ball with any spesd to second base. This
practically kills him ss a backstop. Nc
Laughlin was taken from third base and
Mcintyre put in his place. This was done
at the Yale game at Old Point Comfort, but
since that time Mclaughlin has been REIN
stated at third, putting up good game in
the field. backed up by good work with the
stick. Mcintyre in the last game played
right field in the place of Lamb. This was
Iracey's position when not in The box, and
1t is likely that both he and Mcintyre will
divide, games in that territory. Lambert
