But one thing narred the night. and
that was the dissatisfaction OF both
students and alumni of Richmond Col

scheduled to- run a mile relay, to APP
pear They asserted that the WaslI-
ington team bad never intended to
come, and that the management of the
meet deliberately led them to believe
that Georgetown would appear in order
to urge them to enter other events.
When at the last moment 1t was
learned that there would be no relay
race for Richmond College, reprcsen-
tatives of the local team Went to the
management and asked that they be
pitted against George Washington and
V. p ]. in a three-corner relay race,
but the two other institutions refused
absolutely to let Richmond College in.
Louthan, captain of the Richmond
College relay team, had Just won the
and the SSO-yard dashcs. and
IL was said that the other two colleges
were too fearful of defeat at the hands
of the Spiders to run against them.
