The Washington times., 1902-01-19


The relay races for the "preps" seem to
be the greatest favorite with the young
sters. All the schools appear to be very
anxious to be paired for this event, and
it promises to be one of the most inter-
csting of the meet.
High school Runners.
Teams expected to make ii most inter-
esting are the local schoolboys
and the New York teams, while Penn
Charter, should it enter this event, will
prove strong team. The Montclair
High School of New Jersey, will, in all
probability, be represented by the same
team that raced here on the I'd of last
March. This team defeated the George
town Prep" team in very fast time. The
Boys High School of Brooklyn claims to
have the fastest relay team of any school
in the country and is anxious to be pit
ted against fast team. 1t is most likely
that the management will accommodate il
in this respect. Should the Washington
Central High School team be willing TO
face this aggregation from Brooklyn a
mcst exciting race will be the result.
Among the runners on this team is Brink
youngster on the indoor track for 220
yards. He is also very fast at the relay
distance. The management will do all in
Its power to make the interscholastic
events one of the features of the meet
University of Indiana.
Among the colleges heard from thus
early besides those mentioned already in
The Times is Notre Dame University, of
Indiana. This institution will probably be
represented by a relay team, and will
also have entries In the other events As
the relay team is considered one of the
fastest in the West, 1t will most likely
be pitted against one of the big Eastern
college teams. This will be the first time
that Notre Dame has ever been repre-
sented iii athletic games in the East and
the debut will be watched with interest.
Intcrcity Y. VI. G. 4. Events.
Another university from the far West
which will probably be represented is the
Lawrence University. of Appleton. Wis.
While this college is not TO have a re-
lay team present, II will have three or
four OF the best athletes in Wisconsin
Other entries are expected from the West
before the carnival takes place. Balti-
more will be represented. The Y. NJ. c.
A. Will send over large squad. and the
relay team will most likely be paired
with the local Y. NJ. C. A, and if this
can be arranged great race can lie looked
forward to, as the good d-natured rivalry
between these two branches of the as
sociation Is most noticeable wheno yer they
meet in any sort of contest.
Johns Hopkins University.
Johns Hopkins will most likely have
0nr rhnr lara Ife.
from this famous university usually take
back many trophies with them, and it is
expected that they will put forth their
best efforts this year. The Boys Latin
School Will also send over several good
youngsters. Marston University School
Will again be seen in the int terscholastic
event. Entries have also been received
from athletic clubs Of the Oriole City.
Columbia and Cornell
New York and Brooklyn will send over
the largest number of any one locality.
The Columbia University is anxious to
have its relay team matched against one
of the Eastern university teams, and as
the rivalry between this college and Cor
nell is very intense, the chances are good
for race between them. Columbia will
have other fast men in the different num-
bers on the programme. The regimental
race will be, usual. one Of :he top
liners on the list. The Twenty-second
Regiment, OF New York has one of the
fastest teams IN the metropolitan district
and If a team can be found anywhere
near its equal, which is most likely, this
association will send over its champions.
Duifey and Holland.
The Georgetown boys are training hard,
and will put forth their best efforts to
keep large number of the prizes here.
There are about sixty-ive men in train
ing. Capt BILLY" Holland, of the track
and field team, has charge of the men,
awaiting the arrival of the trainer.
Among the men who are taking daily
exercise is Duffey, the wonderful little
splinter who has placed the Blue and
Grey at the top. He is rapidly round
ing into shape, and it will not surprise
the Georgetown men to see him smash
a record or two before the outdoor sea-
son sets in. Duffey will take part in the
Knickerbocker Athletic Clubs games,
which will be held in Madison Square
Garden On February 3, and also at the
Boston Athletic Clubs meet, on the Sth
proximo.
