the members of the hilltop squad win GER
tainly have to give up a good DIT OF
pleasure.
Nor is Georgetown the only school af-
fected. for the management Of the Yale
contingent has absolutely refused to al
low its runners to come to Washington
until Friday. saying that their presence ir
the city on the day before could not helT
but work havoc in the condition Of the
men. The New Haven university is goins
to have twelve of their stars taking par,
in the local games. this being by far the
largest number from the bulldog school
seen in a Washington track meet in some
years.
Special arrangements are being made
for a call on their most famous alumnus
President Taft, the day after he becomes
the head OF the nation. The new ruler
has always taken an active interest in
the athletics OF his alma mater and will
probably be more than pleased to shake
hands with the youngsters wearing the
insignia OF Yale. who are striving to
bring glory to themselves and honor to
their school.
An entry was received yesterday from
Gallagher of Brown Prep for the special
five-mile event, which has been arranged
between Tewanina. Lee and Driscoll. The
addition of the scholastic champ. will add
interest to the race which promises to be
door meet, catering as 1t does to those
who have acquired the Marathon fad.
In order that there will be no trouble
getting the long list of events over by II
o'clock. a new arrangement has been
made in the program. Some Of the dis
tance runs, especially the five-mile special,
will come off early in the evening. and at
the same time the field contests will be
held in the center of the hall. The
scholastic 400 and the high school relay
have been placed far apart, 80 that those
wishing to take part in both will have
plenty Of time to rest in between.
The two men who represented George
town In the Richmond meet got back to
the city last night. Both report a great
time and fair treatment all around After
the games Saturday night the two men
toned were guests Of the Virginia team
at banquet at the Jefferson. Muiligan,
their coach. came to the city with them
and will remain In Washington through
out the present week, getting the men
into condition for their final test
The prizes, including the White cup for
the Virginia Georgetown relay race and
four gold plaques for the individuals on
the winning team Of the same event, will
be placed on exhibition in the window
OF Bryan's store, at the corner Of + and
14th streets, some time this afternoon.
As will be seen from a view of same, the
prizes this year not only surpass those
given at previous Georgetown meets, but
are also far superior to the ones awarded
at the other local indoor games.
Manager Corcoran is at present hard at
work completing his list Of officials. AS
only the most necessary positions are to
be filled. he is looking around for the
best men in tho country to I'LL them. In
this way he expects to make sure Of
things running of without hitch So far
he has secured Bernie Wefers of the n.
Y. A. c. for starter. Mike Thompson, the
old Georgetown graduate manager, for
referee and Glenn g. Warner, director Of
athletics at Carlisle, for one Of the judges.
The men in mind for the other jobs are
fully as capable as these. which speaks
we'll for the success Of what promises
to be the biggest and best indoor meet in
the east.
