The Georgetown University Athletic AS
sociasion held itssannual handicap track
and field meeting yesterday afternoon on
Georgetown Field under the most favor
able conditions. The day was a perfect
one and the track has only upon rare oc-
casions been so fast and in such excel
lent condition The competitions were
for the most part good and good time was
made in several events, but no records
were broken.
There were mary reasons why the meet
should have been a brilliant success but
there were several reasons why it was
only fairly successful and of these the
principal one was the scratching of so
many names OF entrants. thereby cutting
down the fields in nearly every event to
about one-fourth the original number en-
tered. To the spectators. of whom there
was only fair attendance, 1t was a tire
some meet on account of the long waits
between events. and then the absence of
Wefers. the king of sprinters, was a dis
appointment. He was at New Orleans
attending a big meet, although ne was on
the program to perform here. His absence
took the snap out of most OF the track
events. The meet was open to students
of the varsity only.
One of the most interesting of the
events was the 220 yard hurdle, which
was won by Maloney. the nervy little
catcher of the team, who won his heat
from scratch with Douglass and Hor-
sey in the same heat. O'Nei won the sec
ond heat with O Brien close second. The
final was won on grand squirt by Ma
loney about twenty-five yards from the
tape. Douglass second. O'Neil third. Time.

Maloney also won the 120 yard hurdle.
taking the timbers in great shape and
finishing fresh, Claiborne taking second
and Douglass third. Time IS Is seconds
The 220-yard dash was full of ginger
and won by Cody (scratch). Owen rs
yards finished second, two yards ahead
of Miller third (25 yards handicap).
Time, 0:23 l-5. Second and third men led
Cody TO within twenty yards of the finish.
when the sitter, in a grand burst of
speed, evened up with his leaders and cut
them down and won by three feet run
ming easy Owens worked hard and ran
a good race.
In the 40 yards the Handicapped won
easily, for he gave DoWd sixty yards on
Maioney. Claiborne had thirty yards and
Solomon had fifty yards. Al the pistol
Dowd, the clever young twirler for the
baseball team. shot out and with great
striding kept the lead given him and won
by about forty-five yards, fifteen yards of
the lead having been cut down by Malo-
ney. who finished a scant foot behind
Solomon second. 1t was a great exhibi-
tioa of grit on the part of Maloney. as
when he started he had a badly bruised
and swollen ankle, the result of contact
with hurdle bar. Dowd was given quite
a hand on his unexpected victory.
The only bicycle event was one mile.
in which Louve Keane and Kennedy
started Kennedy led for two laps and a
half when on the second turn of the last
lap Lowe shot out and won in 2:5s.
To fill out the card a three-eighths of a
mile relay race was given. with OShea,
Applegarth and Sheridan on one team
and Solomon, Owens and Claiborne
against them. Each man ran an eighth
of mile. Ii was hotly contested ana was
won by O'Shea's team.
