ATHLETIC STARS.
All the College Cracks to Participate
in GeorgetOwn's Meet.

Notwithstanding the fact that the entries
for the Georgetown big athletic meet closed
last Saturday, letters are being received
in every mail relative to the athletes who
are to participate in the carnival next Sat
urday evening. Word comes from Penn
sylvania that the men who are to repre-
sent the red and blue are in the best pos
sible condition, and that they expect to
carry off the honors in every event in
which they are entered. 1t is a well-known
fact that Pennsylvania stands at the head
of the intercollegiate associations, having
carried off more prizes during the last two
years than any six colleges In the United
States, and it is expected that they Will
make great showing here. Grant, who
is entered in the two-mile special, and IS
running in great style, will have to fight 1t
out with his brother Dick from Harvard
and Kanaly from Boston, and 1t can be eX-
pected that the record for this distance will
be broken and a new one established un-
der the Georgetown University indoor
games. The other Pennsyivanians are well
known throughout the athletic world. The
list includes J. w. B. Tewksbury, F. P.
Leary, S. H. Goodman. W. H. Drumheller,
S. A. Allen and Alex. Grant, as above men,
toned. The Pennsylvania one-mile relay
team will run against the Georgetown boys,
and as both teams are in the best condi-
ton some great running may be expected.
Tewksbury will start in the ffty-yard
hurdle and possibly in the relay race. AL
len is also DOWN lOr lIe IeIdy race. ne Is
a very fast man and may possibly start In
some other event in which he is en-
tered instead of the team race. That
PENNSYLVANIA is putting forward her best
men to capture the relay race is shown
by the fact that neither Cook nor Westney,
who ran in the race against Harvard, will
compete against the blue and gray, as
faster men have been selected,it Is hoped by
the Pennsylvania people, to carry off the
honors. Georgetown will put up a game
fight for this event, and If the team
from Philadelphia carries off the cups
it will be inside of the Harvard record
which was made at the Boston athletic
games recently.
All the entries have been forwarded to
the Handicapped in Philadelphia. but will
not be given out to the public before the
latter part of the week
The local men have come forward within
the last few days, and from the entries
it is easily imagined that Washington will
win her share of the prizes.
The Y. NJ c. A. has entered twelve of its
best men, including Gould, Bisnette and
DreyfusS who are to start in the 440-yard
handicap. Speare, the fastest short dis
tance sprinter in the District. is entered

in three events, the SO, 220 and 44O yards

milers who ever started In the District.
will take part in the event of that distance.
The high schools are putting forth their
best men and are training hard under the
watchful eye of Trainer Foley of George

very fast time will be made In the inter-
scholastic events. The Friends Select
