With the city full of visitors on the
evening of March 2, the indoor track and
field games to be held at Convention Hall,
under the direction of the Athletic Asso-
citation of Georgetown University. should
have a record breaking crowd.
Last February. on the night set for the
games, snow nearly two feet deep covered
the ground and small-sized blizzard
made merry and yet there were about
$500 admirers of the sport in the big
hall. II there was such an attendance on
such bad night with only the home
rooters to draw from what will it be with
the city filed with visitors? 1t will mat
ter little whether the weather be fair or
not. Entries close February % with
James p. B. Duffy.
Probably one of the strongest cards will
be the second meeting of Arthur Duffy. the
holder of the worlds sprint records, and

will take part in the event which he is
noted for. The reason he will not repre-
sent Pennsylvania is on account of the
recent action taken by the faculty OF that
institution. He will make it very inter
esting for Jones, OF New York, the pres
ent champion, and others.
The Grant brothers. Dick and Alex, are
to take part in the mile race, as will also
several other famous runners, including
McGirr. the former Georgetown student,

The regimental team race promises
TO prove q great success. Many entries
have been received from various crgani-
cations and it is expected by the manage
ment that twenty or thirty different COM
mands viii be represented. A relay race
has been arranged between the Emerson
Institute. Friends School and the Balti-
more Latin School.
Among the militiamen already heard

third New York Regiment: Bowie. who
will start in the 5G-yard; Welt, North
ridge. Robbins. and MERCER, in the $50
yard run; Jackson, 440-yard and half-mile
This regiment will also be represented in
the regimental team race. Columbia, New
York, has signified her intention to have
a team in the relay, and it is probable
that she will be pitted against Cornell.
The Georgetown boys are in great form,
and every day Trainer Foley has them at
work on the new track. which has been
laid in the lower corridor Of the univer-
sity building. He expects to develop sew
eral stars out of his squad of fifty.

the week before. the basketball team of
the Y. NJ. c. A. last week took the Balti-
more Central Y. NJ. c. A. into camp to
the tune of 20 10 l. The locals outclassed
the visitors in nearly every department of
the game.
1t is a fast team and plays a splendid
passing and basket game, and does it
all in clean manner without any resort
to rough tactics.
Craig is doing good work, especially in
gOaling from field. Left Forward Bate
man, too is developing into a sure goaler.
The team now consists of Craig, Bate
man. Lipp, Pimper. and ourand.
