To Develop Distance Men.

l: is the hope of the manager and the
coach to develop number of distance
men. The younger gene ration of follow
ers of track athletics never think of
Georgetown as sending out any but short
ana middle distance men, but this is a
mistake. In the middle nineties George
town held the five and ten mile records.
These records were made and held by
Teddy McGirr, a boy developed at West
ern High School and Georgetown. George
towns runners have been mainly devel-
oped from boys in her own prep
school. and the material this year is bette r
THAI ever. The squad this year has three
of it's most promising men from the
prep school. This is very pleasing to
those in charge, as it is the policy of
this departmen mt not only to develop men
wno have had experience, but also TO
encourage those who have never had the
opportunity to show what they could do.
Georgetown is, therefore, entering the in
door season with brighter prospects than
in the days of Wefers and Duffy, and
not only is very successful season ex-
peoted here, but it is hoped that George
town will hold up WashinStons END
creditably elsewhere.

PROSPECTS FOR A GOOD YEAR
RESPONSE TO CALL FOR THE
GEORGETOWN TRACK TEAM.

Prospects for a very successful year
wer. more than verified last week when
the call for candidates for the track
team at Georgetown was answer red by
twenty men from the college department
and ten from the departme of law
and medicine. This squad more than sur
passed the highest hopes of those in
terested in this branch. as the season Is
as yet very young, and such large num-
Der of men was not expected out until
the time of the meet comes. For the
past two weeks-in fact, ever since the
students have been back from the holi-
days-efforts have been made to get out
a large squad, and the result is neces-
sarily very gratifying to those who have
devoted their time and attention to en-
iarging the track team at the university
across the creek. The announcement at
the beginning of last week that Joe Reilly
the former quarter-mile champion. was
to have the men in charge was the first
bit of gratifying news. Now comes word
tina. he will have to assist him Dr. s.
Logan Owens. the former Georgetown
sprinter and relay man. The latter will
be of great assistance as his experience
as a member of the team for four years,
being its leader the last two years. rem
GerS him an authority on training neces-
sary for these distances. His services
will be wholly voluntary, and Georgetown
is indeed very fortunate to have him.
A New Training Plan.
Beginning this morning. DIR. Reilly will
inaugurate training idea new to this
section of the country since the days of
Bill Foley at Georgetown. The men
trying for the relay team will be matched
in teams, four men each. and races will
be run. thereby allowing the coach to
assisting the men to familiarize them
selves with the very necessary element
of experience" Interest throughout the
whole university Is evidenced by the
crowd that daily gathers at the track
to watch the men work. Class teams
FROM each one of the classes of the three
departments are expected to put in an
appearance this week. and this will bring
the total number of the squad up to over
fifty men.
Some good men who as yet have not
reported are Mudd, Mcdonald. Roach and
Courtney. from the law school. and Jeffs
of the medical department.. 1t is yet
hard to make predictions as to the men
when it comes to class, but the team
will have to be selected soon as
Georgetown makes its first trip on the
18TH of February to the Columbia games
will in all probability race Wesleyan or
Brown. Manager Montgomery tried to
induce the local university to enter the
open championship race with Pennsy as
opponents but this opportunity In all
probability will be declined.

BISHOP, Cal, Aug. 6.-Conspir-
acy is now believed to be at the bot
tom of the killing of Mrs. Fannie
Snyder, who was shot Sunday night
while riding with her husband on a
lonely trail leading from Andrews
Camp in the high Sierras to South
Lake, and all day District Attorney
Dehy has been investigating.
He accompanied Snyder, the wo-
mans husband, over the route of the
shooting and had the deputy sheriff
from Independence also at work fer
reting out the mystery. The posse of
armed men that left here yesterday
for the mountains returned today
convinced that the man described by
Snyder as being the murderer, is no
where to be found and the suspicion
that some deeper conspiracy lies at
the bottom OF the shooting is fast
gaining ground.

During the funeral of Mrs. Snyder
yesterday the husband of the dead
woman tainted at the grave or APP
parently tainted, falling backward
heavily to the ground, but the at
tending physicians upon examining
the man expressed their doubts as to
the genuineness of this fainting.
The large fortune left by Mrs.
Snyder has added more than any
thing else to the doubt that she was
shot merely by the accidental bullet
from two highwaymen. The officers
are bending every effort to unravel
the strange mystery which shrouds
the entire case.
An unidentified Greek left this
morning for Nina and orders to have
him arrested at Nina were sent out
later in the day
So far this is the only arrest made
in connection with the shooting.
