STARATHLETES WILL
Be ENTERED HERE
Georgetown University Pre-
pairing for Its Annual Indoor
Meet, to Be Given Late
in the Winter.

The annual indoor athletic meet Of the
Georgetown University, sanctioned by the
intercollegiate Association and the ANA
teur Athletic Union, will take place next
year as usual, probably the latter part Of
February, or early in March.
Former meets have attracted the very
best runners the cinder paths produced,
and the records made have been equal
to any made in the world, but it Is the
determination Of Manager Moran of the
university to excel all previous efforts,
and to bring down here the largest COL
legiate gathering Of stars ever assembled
in an indoor meet.
Manager Moran is already hard at work
mapping out the plans and determining
the scope of the meet. He and his corps
of assistants are preparing to have some
of the greatest relay races pulled off the
athletic world has ever ct1ronicIed
One of the cards proposed is a great
race between Yale and Princeton, and
also match between Harvard and the
University of Pennsylvania, an event that
would make things most interesting for
the University Club of this city, which is
anxious and eager to see the big four
race here.
Inducements will also be offered to have

here. and there is a probability that in
case it does. some of the big four will be
switched In order to make it an encounter
between the east and the west.
Kelly. the record maker for sprints on
the Pacific coast. has entered Michigan,
and 1t is not unlikely that the fast young
ster may come down here with some of
his classmates in the hope Of adding new
laurels to his banner. He is fast much
better conditioned than when at James
forr nd he "a m
eastern sprinters look lonely in the short
races.
Cornell will, as usual, enter her relay
team against Columbia. or If Notre Dame
in 1905, it will be Manager Moran's aim
to have the Ithacans run against its team.
Notre Dame has always sent out the fast
est relay teams in the west, and they
would be a big card for the meet.
Georgetown and Virginia.
Georgetown will again meet Virginia in
a mile relay, and the race will attract
as much attention as every other athletic
event that brings the two universities to-
gether. The boys of Charlottesville are
banking on wiping out the defeat of last
March in order to give them a clean sweep
in everything over the Blue and Gray.
They are getting together fine lot of
sprinters, and though they have been
SGnOiuR OUT SuCu 1OT only lLIce years,
they have made wonderful strides. and
reaped many laurels on indoor and cinder
tracks.
George Washington will enter several
events. including relay team that will
probably line up against Swarthmore,
Washington and Lee. or the Virginia Mill
tary Institute. There will be such en-
tries as Castleman from Colgate, Seftz of
New York Athletic. Orion from Pennsyl-
vania, Shepherd from Irish Americans of
Va IL 1agp feYavr ~ ho Do @ Inc
and the other champions lately given rec
ords by the Collegiate Association and the
Amateur Athletic Union. viz. George v.
Bonhag, the long-distance runner; j. 8.
Hill, the high hurdler: 8. c. Northridge,
the low hurdler; Dray Of Yale and M. J.
Sheridan of the New York Athletics in
pole vaults: Ralph Rose in shotputting.
and McGrath in hammer throwing.
Minor Local Events.
In addition to these, and to give local
flavor and increase enthusiasm among the
athletes, there will be matches Tor the
National Guard. Y. NJ. c. A., local high
schools and the leading preparatory
schools. as we'll as several Of the athletic
and rowing clubs, as invitations will be
sent to all of them to compete in the
many events that will be provided for the
evenings sport
The prizes will be the most valuable the
Georgetown Athletic Association has ever
bestowed on winners, which is saying
great deal, as those given in the past have
always surpassed in value those given at
similar meets in other places.
To Raise Funds for the Crew.
The annual dance Of the Georgetown
crew will take place We'd
nesday evening next, Thanksgiving eve,
at the Arlington. The object of the en-
tertainment is to raise money enough to
insure the crews presence at the inter-
collegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie. and
Manager Wood of the crew is hopeful
that enough will be raised so that no
extra burden will be imposed on the
athletic association of the university.
The list of patronesses has not all been
selected, but will be announced Tuesday.
Manager Wood says that things have
assumed such decided rosy hue at the
college and the various departments of
the university that no fear exists as to
the going of Georgetown as usual to
Poughkeepsie. the fine showing of the
crews in the class races having had
much to do with the feeling that now
