DUAL MEET FALLS THROUGH.
G. w. Students Intimate That George
town is Afraid.

II has been the desire of the manage
ment of track athletics at George Wash
ington University to get Georgeown in
dual track meet, but up to this time it
has been unsuccessful In making the ar
rangements. A short time ago when the
question OF holding a meet of the teams of
the two universities was brought up Man
ager Turkenton and Capt. Lorando met
Manager Leslie Brennan and Capt Sulii-
van OF the Georgetown University track
team and an agreement was drawn up
which, though not signed. was accepted by
the representatives of the two teams. It
was agreed that the representatives should
each KEEP copy to be presented to their
executive committee of athletics. The
agreement was satisfactory to the George
Washington University committee, but in
recent letter to Capt. Lorando Manager
Brennan informed the George Washington
captain that Georgetown had reasons for
not entering the meet at this time.
The news was particularly disappointing
to the George Washington men, as they
had hoped they would have the opportunity
of settling the question Of track supremacy
for the season OF 1905 Manager Turkenton
in statement issued today. indicates
belief that the committee of Georgetown
University is apprehensive of meeting of
the teams, and for that reason will not re-
sumo the movement for a dual meet. He
charges that at the meet or GEORGETOWN
University in Convention Hall some weeks
ago the Blue and Gray management pur-
posely avoided a meeting of the two uni
yersities because of the fear that the rep
sentatives of Georgetown were not runners
of the caliber of George Washington Uni
versity's track team.
The management of the Episcopal High
School of Alexandria has offered to ar
range a meet between Georgetown and
George Washington at their athletic meet
to be held upon their campus on May 5.
1t is the earnest desire of the George
Washington management to enter the meet
OF the Episcopalians if 1t can be arranged.
No reply has been received from George
town.
At a recent meeting of the students of
George Washington University the sugges-
ton was made that large yellow poster
be printed with the word Georgetown
inscribed across It. It was proposed to
scatter them broadcast over the city as
were the proclamation posters which
caused so much talke some time ago. The
question of getting out the posters was
talked of but nothing definite was done In
the matter, though 1t is said to be more
than possible that a number of the stu
dents will organize to spread their chal-
lenge prominently before the athletes OF
the Blue and Gray as well as the people OF
the city
