last winter al the Georgetown games.
Last year Columbia attached the two
mile championship outdoors at the inter-
coIeg1a1es. Thus It is readily seen nat
this race viii be a hummer"
In the mile. Georgetown has been fortu-
nate enough 10 obtain the entries OF
Wesleyan. This team is without a doubt
the fastest at this distance in the coun-
try. AT the Columbia games they set a
mark which suTpaSses anything indoors
for the last two seasons. and il is doubt
full II the same viii be lowered the rest OF
the year. The difficulty OF arranging a
suitable race for them was solved By the
anxiety OF Fordham. OF New York 10 race
them.
Probably. with one exception. the South
ern championship race between George
town and Virginia. the race between
Richmond College. which trimmed Cath
olic University by a half a lap at the
Federal games, will be the most inter
esting race on the programme.
The big" card of the night viii be

NEW" FOOTBALL FAVORED
President Eliot, of Harvard, Speak.
FavOrably of Reformed Game.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 25.-President
Eliot, Of Harvard University. to-day gave
the Yale News an interview, in which he
praised football. and assured Yale men
that nothing official had been done to-
ward reducing the number OF football
games at Harvard
He said in regard to the new rules.
L believe the new rules have made the
game more interesting; have improved
1t and made it more sportsman-Iike. on
account of the stringent enforcing Of
the present rules a more certain penalty
is placed upon unfair pay, and conse-
quently it is question now whether it
pays TO violate them or not I am in
clined to think, however, that the team
which plays fairly and cleanIy Will de-
feat one using unfair means. and this
is an end to be striven for in intercol-
legsate sports.
I'm regard to the recent regulation
passed by the Harvard faculty advising
that the number Of intercollegiate con-
tests should be largely reduced. nothing
definite has been done. There have been
no 5-game rules passed. and from the
present situation Harvard will play foot
ball next year Just as usual"
