entertainment. The reason, for this in.
activity is the fact that some member:
of organizations are employed until later
hours and many others take the oppor-
tunity Of visiting their homes in the
States.
The year just closing has been more OF
less prosperous in the athletic line
There has been no great development ot
crack performers and records have
suffered very little, but there has been
steady increase in interest all along
the line, and that. after all, is what
tells and is the one great source Of graf
ifcation to those whose efforts are given
to the promotion of healthful. manly anna
teur sports.
Better things are promised for the COM
ing year. The brighter outlook for ath-
letics in this vicinity comes with the set
tlement OF the differences between the
Middle Atlantic Association and the
Amateur Athletic Union, by which the
clubs composing the former will be gov
erned by the rules of the latter.
This new order of things will bring
about the holding OF larger meets and
will bring together track and field teams
which have not met in competition for
several years.

been fixed upon as the date.
The occasion serves as the great try-out
event for the cracks and others prepara-
tory 10 entering the great indoor cham
pionship games of the Boston Athletic
Association. which brings together all
the best performers in College circles.
At both these meets large eutry lists are
secured for the Georgetown indoor games.
