New York, May 29.-(Special. 1.-The
Georgetown Varsity Athletic team,
accompanied by Trainers Foley and
Ringgold, left here this evening for
Washington. The team consisted of
four men, Fred Schade, A c. Moran,
Leo B. Dannemiller and Jack X l.
Cody, the sprinter. Although the boys
made. a remarkable good showing
. against their mighty opponents from
the Northern colleges. nevertheless
they are all dissatisfied with their
work
Schade and Moran captured the in
tercollegiate tandem championship Of
America with a magnificent squirt.
clearly outclassing the other teams
from Yale, Princeton and Columbia In
their trial heat they rode. from a
standing start, the mile in 2:04 1-2
Leo B. Dannemiller managed 10 run
third in the one-quarter-m race.
In the half-mile race Moran, Schade
and DannemiIler all three won their
respective heats, but again luck was
against the Georgetown boys and all
these heats We're thrown out on ac-
count Of not being under the time limit
Of 1:I0.
In the first heat Of the one-mile
championship the officials blundered,
ringing the bell on the wrong lap. The
field sprinted and finished with Schade
in the lead. All let up but Dawson and
Ludwig, who kept on and qualified.
This event should have been run over
according to the rules.
In the five-miIe championship Schade
again won his heat, defeating Bert Rip
ley and Ray Dawson. DannemiIler
also managed to capture the second
heat, beating out the American am
steur champion, irwin A Powell In
the final it was generally conceded
that Schade had the best chance for
winning out. Dannemiller and Schade
kept close together until the fourteenth
when William Stackhouse, of Pennsyl-
Vania, deliberately cut across Schade's
front wheel, committing palpable
foul. In the fight for position Schade
regained his place in spite Of getting
his pedal tangled up in the formers
wheel, and tearing off the toe clip and
part Of his shoe. This. Of course, ruin
ed his chances for winning soneH hat,
and the next moment Ripley made a
spurt and won out.
The boys from Georgetown We're in
deed in hard luck, for, in the other
events Moran also fell at the start OF
the quarter-mile, and was run off the
track in the fve-mile championship
Only one race, the tandem cham
pionship. now remained. Ia the first
heat Moran and Schade started out at
an awful clip, with a desire to lower
the collegiate record Of 2:10. This race
was Won in 2:04 by the Columbia team,
who rashly cut off the Washingtonians
on the turn, compelling them TO take
second place or fall. Schade did well
il manipulating the tandem and saved
his crew from a smash-up. Schade
and Moran entered a protest against
such ungentlemanly maneuvering, but
afterwards withdrew the same.
When the final was called six teams
lined up for the fray, Yale, Prince
ion, Georgetown, and three from
Columbia. At the crack of the
gun Columbia got off, with
Georgetown following, and the rest
well back. This position was held until
the second lap, when the blue and
gray team moved up and took the
pace. It was now a fight for position,
and just previous to the ringing OF
the bell for the last round, George
town and Columbia jumped into a
sprint simultaneously. Around the
turn they swung at a terrific gait,
Sehade and Moran hugging the in
side for dear life, with the others close
up. In the back stretch two teams
passed the Georgetown boys, who for
q moment seemed TO fag, but the wear
ers Of the blue and gray quickly. recov-
cred, and, riding like fiends, raced side
by side. In the home stretch corner
the Columbia crew again tried their
favorite trick to "cut down" on the
pole, but this time Schade and Moran
would not bulge, but with last final
effort won the grandest race Of the en-
tire series.
The bicycle score now stands as fol-
lows: Columbia, Of New York, with
three firsts, three seconds, and two
thirds. first; Georgetown and Prince
ton, with one first. one second. and
two thirds, each. in second place; Yale.
with two fourths, third, and Harvard
in fourth place. The other colleges
did not score.
