Il vi. t. ~ Athletes.
The open track and field games held By
the Young Mems Christian Association
yesterday afternoon. and which marked
the associations re-entry into local ath-
letics and at the same time served as a
formal opening of its athletic park, was a
grand success and reflects credit al Ike
upon the management and members
With the association now fully installed
/ in its new park it is as well prepared for
the outdoor season as it has been for some
| time prepared TO meet all the requirements
of the indoor months
The splendid condition of the new
grounds the new track, and the excellent
seating arrangements were a revelation to
! the visitors at the park yesterday.
The excellent quality of the work done
by the members in competition with the
more seasoned outsiders is only a slight
pointer or tip Of what may be expected by
the time another outdoor season rolls
around.

er the park will be given a new name or

citation Field" would look and sound we'll

ton, and being anxious to go, will have

Morgan, who acquitted himself so ' ell
yesterday and at Annapolis on Labor Day
will return to his class at Yale tomorrow.
II is likely that he viii be entered for the
Baltimore games. and in that event he will
come down and help his associates to win
points.
The absence of Georgetown Varsity ath-
| ietes in yesterdays games is due 10 the
fact that the majority Of them had not re-
turned to the city until after the entries
had closed.
Next week the candidates for the foot
ball team viii be called out by Manager
Louis Weaver, and he is promised large
