Georgetown University will hold its fourth
annual invitation field and track meet Sat-
urday. Entries have been received from
all the leading Maryland colleges, inciud-
ing University OF Maryland. Baltimore City
College and Johns Hopkins University. All
| of Georgetown's noted athletes will take
part. Wefers. the king of all spriaters,
has recovered from his illness and has
been training during the past week. and
will doubtless be in rare form. 1t is worth
going miles to see Wefers run even one
race. and the Washington public will have
| chance to witness his performances in
| three events the 100. 220 and 44O-yard runs.
Some speculation has been INDUCED IN re-
Gently regarding the length of Wefers'
stride. Trainer Foley. on being appealed
| to, said that it was the same in the 100.
220 and 44O-yard runs-eight feet The last
few strides are shortened to seven feet six
inches.
Wefers, while still a member of the
Georgetown University, is not student at
the classical course this season. Instead
he begins the course this year at the med
ical school, intending to complete the stud
| les and graduate. On Sunday he began to
train for the meet. He is in good condi-
ton, and IL things are favorable he Is ex-
pected to equal his best world record time
The Baltimore Sun says today of entries
from Johns Hopkins:
THE Johns Hopkins University Athletic
| Association will send three representatives
| to compete in the Georgetown College
| games next Saturday. Robert Garrett, for
merly of Princeton, VINO was victorious in
| the Olympic games at Athens in hurting
| the discus, will attempt to perform the
same feat on Saturday under the univer-
81 10 fss ole
| broad jump. Scholl, '9S, Is entered for the
| high jump, broad jump, hurllng the discus
/ and quarter-mile run. Knapp, who won
| the 35-yard dash at the armory games last
| spring. is entered for the 5O-yard, 100-yard
| and 220-yard dashes. A large body of Hop
| kins students will go over to the games.
Hopkins would have had many more en-
| tries in the sprints had it not been for the
| fact that her best sprinters are playing on
the FOOT ball team at this season."
A runner who will attract considerable
attention is w. ]. Hubbard, the champion
22O-yard runner of Canada. He is at pres
taking a special course. He and w. Ma
| loney, 1901, the plucky little catcher of last
years hall team. will make a hard fight
| for the honor of running SECOND to Wefers
| In this event. Maloney gives every prom
ise of becoming very fast sprinter, and
| Trainer Foley considers him as the fastest
| man in the college next to Wefers.
Bicycle enthusiasts will have the opoor-
| fight it out to decide, which is the better
man.
