At a meeting Of the managers Of ath-
Ietics OF Georgetown University last
night it was decided to hold the NTH
annual indoor carnival at Convention
Hail. February Is. NJ. J. Thompson,
who has managed the athletic affairs of
Georgetown University in such an ad-
mirablo manner for four or five seasons,
will have entire charge Of the affair
He has sent out invitations TO all Of the
principal colleges and universities.
Proparaio ions will be made by Mr..
Thompson and his assistants to make
this the most successful event of its
kind ever held in this city. both from
an athletic and financial point OF
view.
Relay races viii be the feature at the
coming meet. They are to be arranged
between colleges and universities where
the greatest rivalry exists. Manager
Thompson is endeavoring to bring Le-
high and Lafayette. two rival institutions
Of central Pennsylvania, together. Ger
tainly Cornell win have several repre-
sentatives here. as Manager Thompson
received letter yesterday that his in
vitation had been accepted by the ath-
letic board. and a number Of students
had signifed their intention OF coming
20 Washington to participate in the
events. Mr.. Thompson expects TO re-
ceive replies from all OF the institutions
by January l. Should Columbia send
representatives. the relay team will be
pitted against the team from Cornell,
which is a fast one.
Championship Relay Race.
a relay race between the various
Washington High School teams is also
on the card. II VIII decide the cham
pionsbip Of the city. Owing to the fact
that Grey Kennedy. Richard Senior
Richard Dear. and other well-known
High School sprinters have. up to this
year. attended Central School. that in
stitution has had what might be term
ed "a lead-pipe cinch" on all running
events. For this reason little interest
was manifested.
This year. however. conditions are
! changed. Kennedy and Senior are at
tending Technical School. and Dear is at
the University Of Pennsylvania. He
will. in all probability. be a member OF
! the team from that university. This
leaves Central practically without any
star sprinters. Western, Business, aud
Eastern all have good material.
The race attracting the most atten
tiOn among the Georgetown boys is the
relay between the four departments
from the university: Law. dental, col
legiate. and medical Each OF these de-
partments viii have a fast team in the
field. A great race is promised.
Arthur Duhey. the worlds champion
short-dlstance sprinter, who has not
participated in any running events since
/ he sustained an injury to his leg, viii

also run an exhibition fifty yards Duf-
fey is training at the university lie
