&c GEORGETOWN MEET
PLANS BECOMING
MORE AMBITIOUS
Managers Predict Best
University Has Ever
Held.

With the Tenth Annual GEORGETOWN
Games but three weeks off the lndica-
tons are that the meet this year Will
live up to the predictions made by the
management. that it will be an event
or greater scope than anything Of its
kind ever attempted by the university.
The annual Indoor meets have in
creased in magnitude from year to year
until finally. in order to live up to the
custom, the managers of the 1908 indoor
games have had TO resort to unusual
efforts to insure that this years carnI-
val should be all that was expected by
the large number of athletic enthusiasts
in Washington. Up TO this week ali
the authorities could do was 10 make
predictions founded on weu-based prom
ises from the colleges. preparatory
schools. and athletic clubs invited 70
compete. Now affairs are beginning 10
assume tone of certainty. In sum
ming up :he prospects the Georgetown
managers believe they are justified ia
promising for 1903 the greatest collegiate
meet Georgetown has ever held. A
number OF entries have already been
received. and considering the fact that
they do not close for two weeks yet, the
indications point 10 the active particl-
patton in the meet Of some OF the best
athletes in intercollegiate circles. as
well as stars from the two most famous
athletic clubs in America, the New
York A c. and the Irish A. c.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-In the matter

Among the junior heldmen, Plat

and Pennsylvania would take part in a
race of this kind in connection with the
regatta on the Hudson, TO compete for

Saturdays, a form of practice which
Rice thinks will bring out all the speed
that the varsity can muster. Later an

made the announcement were unable 70
