7 cHARLoTTEs's.LLE, VA. January
19.-An intercollegiate track meet between
southern colleges will be held at the
University OF Virginia Easter week. There
Will be relay races and regular track
and field events between the colleges.
and special events open to the prepara-
tory schools.
Two dual meots-one with the Uni
versty of North Carolina anH the other
with Johns Hopkins-will be held In the
spring, and 1t Is probable that there Will
be dual meet either with the Naval
Academy or with George Washington on
Lambeth field. A relay team will also
go to the intercollegiates to be held on
Franklin field, where Virginia won last
year.
Virginia will also participate in the In
door track meet, to be held In the Rich
mond Horse Show building, February 10th,
under the auspices of the Amateur
Athletic Union of America Besides the
relay team. which will compete with
Carolina and George Washington, there
VIII also be representatives from Vir-
ginia In the short dashes and long dis
lance runs which are on the programme.
Not Play Georgetown.
At its meeting last right, the General
Athletic Association of the University
declined to accept the invitation, extend
ed by Manager Brennan. of the George
town track team. for Virginia to run a
one mile relay race with Georgetown at
the Georgetown indoor games. to be held
on March Cd. Manager Brennan suggest
cd that the eligibility rules lie the same
as those in the alleged agreement be-
tween the two colleges. 1t will be re-
called that Georgetown deliberately broke
the agreement entered into during the
spring of 1896. with reference to the foot
ball game between Virginia and George
town, on November 18th, rather than play
under the terms which would have in
sured to both universities a fair and omen
contest on an amateur bass. This sus-
sestion. coming now from the manager
OF Georgetown's track team, that Vir-
ginia play under the same rules under
winch Georgetown refused to play dur
ing the football season, seems clearly to
indicate discrimination; for, If George
town could not play under these rules
on tho gridiron, 1t is virtually saying that
there was some cause then which would
have interfeded with them as amateurs
but since they now. have track team
winch happens to be free from the stigma
OF professionalism, they are anxious to
arrange for track meet
