TRACK TEAM CALLED OUT.
Georgetown Sprinters Will Enter
Training for Winter Campaign.

Manager Joseph McNulty of the George
town University field and track team has
notified all candidates that a meeting will
be held at the college Friday evening for
the purpose of discussing the ways and
means of carrying on the training season.
This is equivalent to calling out the team,
as it is certain that Capt. Martin will
have his youngsters on the path the first
Of next week.
Prospects for a crack aggregation are
the brightest in years, and ii is the in
tention of those in charge to lose no
time in getting the men into condition. AS
soon as the number OF candidates warrants
1t. the manager will prepare his seasons
schedule, which will be as pretentious as
the caliber of the material will allow. 1t
is expected that the first appearance Of
the team will be at Baltimore shortly be-
fore the Christmas holidays, while after
the vacation entries will be made in the
local federal games, In the Richmond Col
lege and Fordham meets and finally in
the twelfth annual Georgetown meet.
Whether the team will compete out of
doors will depend solely on the record
made i'm the indoor campaign. There are
many at the Hilltop school who are anX-
iOus to see the Blue and Gray again rep
resented at the Penn relay carnival and
at the intercollegiate. If squad is kept
In practice for these two affairs ii is also
likely that a dual meet will be arranged
with Virginia. This latter event has been
projected for some time. and If it is final
ly brought about 1t will be a big feather
in the cap of the man responsible.
On account of the lateness of call
ing the meeting. and in order that the
prep and varsity managers may get
together In carrying on the affair which
is expected to work to their mutual
benefit, those having control of the
gym meets have postponed indefinitely
the one scheduled for next Saturday
night. AS 1t would hardly be profit
able to hold two before Christmas
every indication points toward the
merging of the postponed affair with
the annual tournament scheduled for
the evening OF December 81. If this
consolidation is brought about it will
mean that there will be a monstrous
set Of contests for that evening, as al
ready the entry list for the minor meet
has reached large proportions.
The material available for a track
team this year is far superior to that
which reported a twelvemonth past.
Both ex-Capt. Gibbs and Tom Smith
have reconsidered their decision to re
tire. and hence both will be on hand
to aid Capt. Martin. Mulligan. Kings
ley and Carlin Of last years squad will
also be on hand. while Billy Sitterding
and Barricello. the two speedy ends of
the foot ball team, have expressed their
intention of trying for positions. With
McQuail, Brennan. ZIMMERMAN and Nc
Quail from the prep school. Gibson, the
ex-Notre Dame star; Schlosser and
Rice. both of whom made good last
winter only to fall down on account of
ex-Capt. Martin of the Nj
agara goal tossers: Byrd of foot ball
fame: Eddie Miller. the ex-foot bail
leader who ran on the relay three years
ago: OConnor and Wymard for the
weights, not to mention a number OF
new men who are sure to appear. pros
poets for a classy aggregation are ex-
ceedingly bright.
The preps under the leadership of Capt
Dahill will also enter training without
delay. The permission to take trips Will
give these lads greater scope for competi-
ton. and hence will help the men TO de-
velop for future varsities. Graduation has
robbed the embryos Of most OF their vet
Grams, but even with this handicap the
pony leader feels confident that he will be
able to get together a team capable of
living I'D to the traditions OF the school.
The two teams will unite to get a coach.
This has been almost definitely deter
mined on. OF course. the expense will be
borne for the most part. by the varsity,
but the expenditure will be more than re-
Quilted by the improvements of the mate
rial for future varsities. Who will land
the berth Is at present a matter for con-
lecture A number of good men are being
but SO far no decision has
been reached This will be one Of the i'm
portant questions discussed tomorrow
night and IL is probable that the wishes
OF the men will have great weight I'm the
1nal choice of the trainer.
