In Two-MiIe Relay On
- Saturday.

Other Good Features.

Georgetown University held and track
team, received word from each of the
two teams to the effect that their quar-
tet OF runners would be on hand next
Saturday night to compete in the invi-
tation relay race that was suggested by
the Georgetown manager
Such a race is just what the local
followers of track athletics have been
looking for, and now that meeting
between two such crack teams has been
arranged, there is no doubt but that a /
large crowd will turn out that night 20 |
see what promises to be one Of the /
greatest races ever run in Washington (
The distance will be two miles, each /
man to run a half. Cornell has been /
a topnotcher in Eastern intercollegiate |
track athletics for the past three years |
and her distance runners have IN that
time romped off with victory at the an
Dual Eastern games Whether their
two-mile team can take the measure
of the Quaker aggregation remains TO
be seen. Pennsylvania has been the IN
tercollegiate champion at this distance
on and off for the past four years and
the 1907 team bids fair TO live up TO the
reputation established by the former
red and black runners. Captain Rogers
of Cornell, has not yet announced the
makeup Of his team. The Pennsylvania
team will, most likely, be composed Of
Jones, Carrothers. Plumley, and Wilson
Strong Rivalry Between Trainers
Interest is added to the team race ON
account of the great rivalry that ex-
lists between the trainers of. the two
teams Mike Murphy and Jack Moak-
ley. These two men are considered the
best in the East, and, OF course, each
tries TO outdo the other. Both Will be
on hand next Saturday evening TO prime
their teams for the big race.
Pennsylvania will also be represented
in the individual events Green. in the
sprints. hurdles, and high jump with
CartmeH, intercollegiate champion, IN
the sprints, complete the entries Of the
Philadelphia students.
Seitz Will Try for Record

the Federal Games, has sent word to
Manager Crummey that he is condition
ing himself for the big race here next
Saturday night and VIII go after the
indoor record With CartmeH to push
the Blonde Flyer" carrying out his
expectations.
Kemper. the Central High School
sprinter. who has been performing such
wonderful feats in and about Washing
ton for the past two years, viii be
competitor in the 5O-yard open event
and may succeed in lowering the colors
of his older adversaries. Many Of the
big colleges throughout the East are
watching Kemper's work with a sharp
eye I'm hopes that he may enter their
institution when he completes his high
school course
Georgetown VS. George Washington.
A relay race that should cause a good
deal of excitement at the meet is that
between the Georgetown lawyers and
those of George Washington. The riv-

legiate department at Georgetown last
year, who did considerable running
while at college, will be on the George
town law team in this race.
The Georgetown and George Washing
