| win the race. and he appears to be the IA
vorite. he will attain a good start for the
| reputation which his admirers say he car
acquire without great difiiculty-that o.
an athlete who can run any distance from
| fifty yards TO mile in practically record
| time.
The 220 yards handicap is another event
| which Long has entered and he will
! doubtless be placed on scratch. In front
of him there Will be large field of ambi-
tious Georgetown runners. both from the
University and the Preparatory School.
Tewkesbury, in addition to the dashes,
will enter the 50-yard handicap hurdle
Hatfield, OF Long Island College. is also
entered in this event and inasmuch as he
has an enviabIe record as hurdler he
may provide a closer argument than is ex-
pected by the ex-Quaker champion. Ow-
Gus. the best of the Georgetown hurdlers,
is expected to bring the cOlOrs of that in
stitution well TO the fore al the finish OF
this event.
Maxey Long is again entered in the 40
yard dash. handicap. his fayorite distance.
Riley, of Georgetown. is also entered. Ri
ley Is well known as 4 hslfback on the
GEORGETOWN football team, but is rapidly
developing into a speedy middle distance
runner. 1t is upon Holland however, that
the supporters OF the blue and the grey
min their hopes that Georgetown may win
this event. Holland has been defeated by
Long on the cindcr path. but it is thought
that a contest indoors viii be a more even
match inasmuch as Holland has the repu-
tation Of being one Of the cieyerest CT
board track sprinters. 4 host of George
town athletes are entered in this event
and a number from other colleges and
athletic clubs The latter include Jackson
and Dalton of the Twentythird IN. y
Regiment.
