| Corcornn Cadet Corps.
The basketball team of the Corcoran
Cadet Corps has been given shaking-up
by Captain Rowland, and the shifting

| is already showing good results. The new
captain requires more passing. and insists
upon team work. and he will have nothing

team. scheduled for last Wednesday. was
| postponed until next week, and good
game is expected.
ON Tuesday evening the team will make
a trip TO Alexandria. there 10 play game
with the Light Infantry of that city.
Captain Rowland Is after new talent. and
during the past week secured what he
| believes 10 be a good man for centre, in
Edward Neill, a big fellow. who tips the
beam at 100 pounds. Walters has recov-
cred from his recent Illness, and is once
more working with the team.
The interest OF the members of the corps
| is divided between basketball and the prep
aration for the indoor track and field meet,
to be held at the Guards Armory. the
latter part Of April. Several e=ents will be
open. and include the hfty-yard dash, high
| Jump, and potato race. The pole vault and
mill race will be open only to members
of the National Guards Athletic Associa
ton.

I Of the relay team. and promises 10 put out
| fast one.
| Professor Koran las entire charge OF
| the affair and promises TO make 1t tht

Georgetown varsity Athletics.
| The Athletic Association Of Georgetown
University rendered an inestimable aid to
local athletics through the very successful
| track and field meet given by it last week.
| The interest created will make itself APP
parent in increased attendance at the COM
ing spring outdoor meets.
| Athletically. II was one of the best al
| fairs Of It's kind ever attempted indoors in
this section. Socially, il was decided sue
cess and notwithstanding the forbidding
state of the weather. II proved financial
| success. for the attendance was very large.
While no ono VIII objsct generally to ge'-
ting his moneys worth, yet upon this oc-
| casion objection was raised to the long ar
ray OF eyents-the programme was tco
long.
Notwithstanding the absence of Kranz-
lein. Baxter Tewksbu-y, and Cregan, there
we're enough other stars present TO make
each event feature event. and as resl,t
each number was holly and well contested,
and the best man won in every case.
The Grant brothers, Dick and Alex, were.
of course. a great drawing card and their
very clever work has been adopted as an
example by many Of the local AMI other
less prominent but equally earnest yourg
athletes
The york OF Arthur Duly In the sprints
was pleasing to all. and II is mater OF
pride to local followers Of amateur sport
that We have "a our midst a reco.d holder,
10 the possibilities of whose work the.e
seems no limit Cutting off fraction mere
and another there from established records
seems 10 be his delight. Minnehan. too, is
another Splinter upon whom II is well 10
keep an eve He rs undoubtedly a coming
record man. Clay Lynch, Mulligan, Des-
seq. Holland. and Herman are all top
notchers. Altogether, Georgetown has at
present. with two exceptions, the best all
around team 1t has ever had.
The credit for the excellent showing OF
this team belongs TO William Foley. the
associations faithful and very competent
trainer and coach. He Is proud Of his
charges, and they cannot be otherwise than
grateful TO him O. p SCHMIDT
