Notre Dnme Relay Will Be Star
Contest-Westerncrs Coming.

Another race has been added to the
Georgetown Athletic programme for next
Saturday evening at Convention Hall.
This event will decide the championship
of the South for the potato race. This
event last year was one OF the most at
tractive and interesting of The card, and
this year it promises to be the same sort
of race. Among the best known men to
compete are Charles J. Lucas, who held
the championship for several years, end
who won the event at the Georgetown
games last year. His opponents are also
of the first rank. Two OF them are coming
from Boston for the sole purpose of par
ticipating in this event. and it will be
big surprise if a record for the matcn 8
not broken. The other Boston men ere

intercollegiate Relay Race.
The men for the intercollegiate relay
races are now known to be the fastest
sprinter and distance men In their re-
spective institutions. The Georgetown
and Pennsylvania race is, of course. at
tracing the greatest attention. The men
selected by the managers of these two
teams are known throughout, the East. and
as there is such a rivalry between the
universities, each man can be depended
upon to ruiz the race OF his life. The
Pennsylvania team will be selected from
the following men: ]. A. Baillie, J. A.
Stanton, NJ G. Abbott. D. C. Helm, H. C.
Taylor. ]. 5. Westney, ]. A. orton. A. B.
Gill, s. A. Allen, and Rulaski. 1t will be
seen that several of these men are rec
ord-holders for many distances, and it
is expected that Georgetown will have to
break the record in order to keep ahead
of this bunch" at the finish
Georgetown Quarter-MiIers
The Georgetown team will be composed
of the same men who represented the uni
versity at the Boston A. A. Z. games on
the Sth instant, at Boston, Holland, Reilly.
Owens, Edmonston, and Abaticcho. The
men are so we'll known locally that very
little need be said Of them. Holland and
REILLY are two of the fastest quarter
milers in the United States. and it is al
most certain that IL an accident does not
occur that they will easily finish ahead
Of the men VINO are to oppose them.
Cornell and Notre Dame.
The Cornell and Notre Dame match will
be the most attractive to the bipartisan
onlookers. as the race will be fought out
by one of the leading universities of the
East and the team which is considered
the fastest in the West. The Cornell team
viii be composed of such men as F. r.
Sears, H. A. Rogers, \. Walton. Charlie
Young, ketchum, and Warren. Young is
Dorfn fOI C1L
VIII be sure to come in for a warm recep-
ton when he starts on his relay. Sears Is
very fast man and has represented Cor
heI IN many events and usually comes
GU. ahead OF the string
Western Sprinters.
Notre Dame will send a team of five
men, and among these are two Western
intercollegiate champions. The team will
be composed of the following: W. B. Her.
bert, who is one Of the fastest sprinters in
the West and who has won the 100-yard
dash in 10 seconds more than once; w.
Gearin, who has a record for 4iO yards of
81 % seconds; II. Kirby, who is the
Western short-distance hurdler with a
record of Is seconds Ufendell is the
great distance man of the Western uni
yersity, having records of minutes 5 3-5
seconds for the half-mile indoors, min
utss 40 seconds for the mile, and 10 min
utes 80 seconds for the two miles. E ID.
Staples is comparatively a new man at
the university. but is said TO be as fast as
any man on the team.
These men will enter many of the
special and open events and it can be
expected that Notre Dame will win her
share OF the prizes on Saturday evening.
Special College Event
There is some possibility of bringing
all these men and the Georgetown. Penn
sylyania. and Cornell distance men to-
sether in special race, the distance to
be selected later. II this can be ac-
complished the record for the distance
selected will most assuredly be smashed.
All the athletes send word that they are
in the best condition. and there is moth
ing to prevent them from making very
fast time. and the relay record held at
present by Harvard stands in great
danger
