and the trial heats arranged by the man
agement will insure not only the highest
class finals but every hoft will in itself
Among the new features added to the
programme is the race by the Y. NJ. c. 4.
junior teams selected from the youngsters
of the local branch. This race promises
to arorse almost as much interest as any
OF the races between the large college
ard athletic teams. The instructor OF
athletics of the local department has
used good judgment in selection of those
two teams and has promised the George
town people that they will never regret
giving the boys a chance. Manager
Thompson was only too glad to add this
event TO his already long list OF events.
Race for Heds. Dents. md Law.
Another race that is attracting a great
deal of attention. in fact it is causing
more comment that even the Georgetown
Pennsylvania race. is the relay race be-
tween the medical. dental, and law de
partments of the local university. No
man who is on the training table will
be allowed to compete in this race, aad,
therefore, it promises to be not only very
exciting, but is likely to be full of anus
ing incidents. No one knows yet who is
to compose these teams and everybody
is "on edge" to see who will wear the
colors OF the respective departments.
High Schools and PrePs.
The high schools and preparatory
schools of the city have entered double
the number of men this year over last,
and these events promise to surpass any
thing ever seen in the interscholastic
ranks. The ffty-yard dash will in all
probability be the means OF the George
town Association hanging at least one
record. Among those who are to start in
this event is Dick Dear, of the Central
High School. This young sprinter is
champion 100-yard runner, and it would
not be at all surprising TO see him win
the open event next Saturday. provided
the handicapper is not too hard on him.
In this event some of the fastest boys
from this city, Baltimore, and Philadel
phia Will compete, and il will have to be
divided into at least six heats.
Relay Teams Paired.
The relay teams in this division are
paired as follows:
Central, Western, Eastern, Business,
and Psychological High Schools, in one
race; Boys Latin, of Baltimore; Emerson
Institute, of Washington. and the Friends
Central School, of Philadelphia. in an
other, while the Baltimore City College,
Penn Charter. and Temple College PREP"
of Philadelphia, will be the final. II VIII
be seen from this programme that The
boys have a great chance to distinguish
themselves. The Temple College Preps
are said to be faster than ever before, and
it is likely that the indoor record for the
distance will go. The Temples finished
second to the Brooklyn team last Oecc!n-
ber. and think that ii the two teams were
to meet again they would win out. 1t
is regretted by the local management that
they were unable to get the Brooklyn
team here but as there is 20 b. larSe
interscholastic meet held here in the
spring the two teams will probably meet
at that time
Several of the prep teams have written
the management, requesting that they tc
allowed to train here for a day or two re-
fore the races. and. OF course, they were
told to help themselves Therefore the
university grounds promise TO take on
holiday appearance within the next TWO or
three DAYS.
