GEORGETOWN RUNNERS
OFF FOR NEW YORK

The Georgetown varsity relay team left
this afternoon at 3 o'clock on the Con-
gressional limited for New York, where 1t
will compete in the annual indoor ath-
letic carnival of Columbia University at
Madison Square Garden. Last year
Georgetown was not represented at this
meet. but this year, on account of the
great revival which has occurred in track
athletics. the local college sends team in
whom she places great hopes. The
race in which the Blue and Gray will run
will be triangular one, with the var
stiles of Wesleyan and Fordham. The
Georgetown four will be Gibbs grad
uate Of the prep. school last year and
third man on its first team; Cohen. who
ran on the team which annexed the
southern championship in this city last
winter: Fred Rice. the wonderful basket
ball player. and who proved the da rk
horse in the trials. and Capt. Devine. a
member of the championship four last
year. The men will in all probability run
in the order named. If the relay race
comes early in the meet, Cohen. who
showed up so well in the 440 at James
town, will enter the same event at these
games. After the good time made in the
trials. which were run in Convention Hall
are sanguine that their men will make
good upon their initial invasion of the
east. The party will include Mr.. E. J.
Crummey. manager of the team last year.
DIR. Joe Reilly. the coach. and Mr.. V. A.
Corcoran. assistant manager this year.
who will have the men in charge for the
trip.

man. the New York Athletic Club cham
plon hurdlcr and middle distance runner
was exonerated by the registration COM
mittee Of the metropolitan district Of the

Club.
Hillman was called before the commit
tee TO explain why he failed to race
against j. f. Taylor, the negro runner
from the University of Pennsylvania at
the lrish-American Athletic Club games
last Saturday night. The fieet-footed
hurdler explained that he had committed
no wrong. He stated that he seriously
injured his knee when he fell in his race
against Ramey at the Boston Athletic
Association meet two weeks ago. and
that on the following Tuesday he inform
ed Lawson Robertson. captain of the
1rish-American Athletic Club that in all
probability he would be unable to meet
Taylor the following Saturday night. Two
days later he again officially notified Rob-
ertson that it would be impossible for
him to race. so badly was he crippled.
As soon as the committee heard Hill
mans statement they declared that he
had not erred. 1t was the second time
within a few weeks that Hillman was
called to answer some ridiculous charge.
The committee forbid j. j. Hayes of the
ST. Bartholomew Athletic Club. winner of
the recent Marathon race at Yonkers
and W. L. Nobas OF the Mohawk Athletic
Club from competing in the cross-coun-
try run of the United States life saving

mission will be given to any registered
athlete to compete.

FAVOR AT EXHIBIT

NEW YORK. February 14.-If the
French bulldogs needed an Endorsement
from society the reception they had in
the judging ring yesterday would have
made such a thing clear. This. of course.

in Madison Square Garden. which ends
today. with drafts of foxhounds and bea-
giles from hunt-packs to be judged for
specials.

Manhattan.
A patrol box had place in the big ring
at night and Lieut. Wakefield gave an
exhibition of the good work Of the police

Bowling at Cincinnati-French
Bulldogs in Favor-New Orleans
Races-Base Ball Notes.

A meeting of the athletic council OF
George Washington University was held
last night at the medical school. with DR..
w r. r. Phillips, chairman, presiding.
This meeting is the beginning of series
which bids fair to he the most important
ever held by the council. The general
athletic status now existing in the uni
versity was thoroughly discussed, with
view to the entire rehabilitation and re-
organization of athletics at George Wash
ington and to this end several important
steps were inaugurated.
The question of an athletic field for the
future use of the teams was taken up.
and the chairman of the council was In
structed to bring this important question
before the board of trustees of the uni
versity at its meeting. to be held this
month, in written report covering not
only this one question. but all the present
conditions relative to athletics in the uni
versity. While il was the sentiment of
the council that they much desired to
take the initiative relative to procuring
field, yet at the same time 1T was the be-
lief that this burden should be carried
by the university.
The chairman also reported that in
creased authority would undoubtedly be
bestowed upon the athletic council by the
presidents council of the university at a
meeting to be held in a few days. relative
to the management of athletics. This
power consists of series of rules gov
erning athletes. managers and coaches
which in their effect and provisions are
more drastic than any other regulations
ever in force in the university. Author
ity is delegated the council by these re-
strictions to take any steps 1t deems
necessary for the enforcement of its
orders.
Consideration OF the question of Gun
ning's eligibility TO compete on the En-
gineering team in the interdepartmental
relay race was postponed until the next
meeting of the council, which will take
place February "A.
