That Washington has entered into the

George Washington.
With the George Washington :Jnfver-
sity taking such an active part in field
and track branches as is noticeable now
there are two men sure aL least tf en-
tering from the university, Erittson and
Law. Brittson is d man who has been
developed in a remarkably shurt time
and gives much promise OF good work

as he viii undoubtedly be at the t5al+i-

Law, 90 law, will probably enter the
quarter.
The half mile will probably Contain
the names of Babcoek and I'yIcs. Fab
cock will try the distance. Outside Of
Law and Brittson It cannot now be safe
ly said just who else will enter, as Cap
tain Bryan, the efficient trainer of
George Washingtons track squad, has
been unexpectedly called 70 the Vest
on business. Bernie Wefers is now
looking after the squad.
Georgetown has not as yet settled
upon the men, but III the view of the

doubt go. He was the winner of the
pole vault at the st. Louis Exposition,
Aigh School Meet.

their annual June games and until the
wee ding out process has been finished

Kent, the captain Of the Central High
will be in the dashes. Byrne is billed for
the half.
