TO LOCAL ATHLETES
With Football Out of the Way Indoor Track and FieIc
Meets Have the Call

Ali that is left Of the football season
is in the hospital
Except for q few cross country runs
under the auspices Of the Y. NJ. c. a.
and a few club matches open 10 mem
bers Of local golf clubs. the outdoor sea-
son is closed for 1902. From now on
strict attention will be given TO develop
ment Of track and field men for the va
rious local and out-of-town indoor
meets.
Locally, the prospects are bright for
a season Of good competitions I'm addi-
ton to the bowling. basketball. ard in
door lease contests which have been
In fuH swing for some time.
The most extensive of local events Is
that furnished annually in Convention
Hall under the auspices Of Georgetown
University, and which is scheduled for
February. Next in point OF number Of
events and quality Of performers is the
annual meet OF the District National
Guard The smaller meets are furnished
by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion and Carroll Institute.
tiif Joint Meets Suggested.
It is suggested that this year an extra
special meet be given Jointly by the
National Guard, Young Mems Christian
Association. Carroll Institute. and Co
lumbian University. such an event
would aid very materially In the deveI-
opment OF indoor track and field mate
rial, much Of which never finds opportu-
nifty OF showing it's ability because OF q
lack OF a suitable meet. and because
many fof the performers have neither the
tirbe nor the means to go out OF town
10 attend winter meets.
A joint meet OF this kind would make
an affair big enough 20 make it ncces-
sary 10 run 70 of iu Convention Hail
which could be filed with followers OF
the several organization iuteres- ed. fn
addition TO those persons who admire
amateur athletics in an forms.
II is further suggested that the local
high schools and the various other
schools. such as Washington school for
Boys. Emerson Institute Friends Select
School. Boys school. and others. com
bine and hold @ big track and field
meet. 10 would make up an affair such
as this city has never seen indoors and /
would be attractive and interesting
enough TO MI big Convention Hall
The suggestion is worthy OF the at
tention Of the managers of the various .
school athletic association and directors T.
OF schools and academies.
