silver trophy cup VIII be presented
to the school, club, or college scoring the
greatest number of points in all events
except relay races at the George WASH
ingtOn University indoor games, in Con-
vention Hall a week from next Saturday
night. The method OF scoring will be
the same as that used IN the national
championships of the Amateur Athletic
Union. five for first places, three for sec
onds. and one for third.
That the fight for this trophy, which
viii be the permanent property OF the
organization winning it, will resolve into
dual contest between the University
of Virginia and John Hopkins seems Ger
tain, although the men from one OF the
clubs or schools may prove dark horses.
The Gurley Athletic Club, Of this city,
will have some good men in all the open
events, while the Baltimore City College
and the Episcopal High School. OF Alex
andria, may score a suffIcIent number OF
points in the scholastic events to over
balance the total Of their older rivals.
Next 10 the twO-Inlle relay race for tha
Southern championship. between the
teams Of George Washington, the Uni
versity of Virginia, and Johns Hopkins.
the tussle for the point trophy promises
to be the most interesting feature Of the
games.
For spectacular effect probably no event
on the programme will surpass the pole
vault. in which there will be eight OF the
best performers in the South. George
Washington Will be particularly strong in
this feature with Sterrett, Owens, and
Whitten. Ward and Knulker. Of the Cen
tral Y. N. c. A, Of Baltimore, viii make
things interesting for the Buff and Blue
trio. Ward being Sterrett's old rival for
Southern championship honors. Virginia
will also have a couple OF entries in this
event

tets, although the boys from West Wash
