Track
The members of the track team have been
training diligently for the past few weeks
and express themselves as being in good
condition for the trials for the varsity relay
team, which are to be held at the college
this afternoon at o'clock. The trials in
previous years have resulted in walk
petitors for positions on the team, but this
year it is quite different, as there are eight
or nine formidable candidates, each of
whom Is showing exceptional sprinting abll-
ity and a determination to make the team
Those showing up well in practice. and
from whom the team will be selected are
Mccarthy. who ran second to Eaton at
Boston last Saturday, when the record Tor
forty yards was broken; Mulllgan, ex-lnter-
scholastic quarter-nlile champion; 1oder
captain law school relay team; Sullivan
member of last years varsity; McGettgan,
winner of the 600 yard novice race at Con-
ventior Hall last year; Lorando, who won
the SS0-yard run at Johns Hopkins meet
last Saturday; Bremen, a member OF last
years law school relay team, and
Dougherty, a Boston athlete
Last year the relay team was defeated by
Yale and Pennsylvania, but IL turn de-
feated Harvard, Columbia, University OF
Illinois and Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology. Georgetown is anxious to de-
feat Yale at her annual meet at Convention
Hall on the 18th of this month, as she mas
never had the satisfaction of defeating
relay team representing the blue and
white.
The 'varsitys first race will be on the 21st
of this month, when she will meet Holy
Cross and Fordham College in three
cornered race at New York. This race,
should give the followers of the blue and
gray a chance to get line on the boys
from across the creek.
Though Coach Dempsey is not inclined to
be very communicative as to the prospects
of the crew, yet one interviewing him on
the subject may easily see that George
towns shrewd coach has great deal of
confidence in the ability of his men and
expects to again spring a surprise upon the
experts at Poughkeepsie, n. Y, like he dld
two years ago when the crew defeated
Pennsylvania. Columbia, Wisconsin and
Syracuse, after being picked out by the
wise ones for last place. one thing
noticeable in the work of the crew this
year is the enthusiasm and vim with which
the boys work daily upon the machines at
the college, and If the crew does not make
a good showing at the next regatta, II Ger
tainly will not be through any fault or
neglect on the part of their coach, for he IS
emitting nothing that Will enhance their
success. To- 3
OF last years crew the following men are
In training daily Stanley, stroke; Ora
ham. No. 1; Hayden, NO. 2; Mudd, NO. 8;
Canairo, No. 4; SeitZ, who rowed on the
-four last year. and Bachus, a member of
the crew that defeated Annapolis in 1908.
Those of the new men and members or last
years prep class and second crew that are
in training also for this year crew are:
Stuart, Monohan and Ridgeway of the sec
ond crew; Van Lindsey, Lusk and Ed
mondston of the preps. Monohan. Donovan,
Douglass, Crumney, keenan, and Grogan
of last years class crews, and Oblinger,
NeilI, Bremen, Rice, Woods and Barber,
new men.
Their first race will be against Annapolis.
April l next, and as Georgetown remembers
the defeat she suffered at the hands of the
Naval AcademyS crew last year. she Will
endeavor to be on the water, oar in hand,
as soon as the ice clears away, in order to
be IN the best of condition by that time.
