NATIONALS AND DALLAS IN TIE CAME
LOCALS MAKE ONLY THREE HITS.

Indians. OF course. men will .be sent to
the southern Intercollegiate, but most of
the efforts will be directed toward carry
Ing off the honors in the closed affair.
That the competition between these three
schools will be interesting and warm is
certain. since in all cases they are great
rivals. each against the other two.
The event will probably come off around
time to train. Comparison of the three
teams cannot possibly be made with
any chance of being right, but as things
now stand the hosts will have the best
chance to carry off the honors. Their
cam has been taking about everything
In sight during the indoor season. and
with the added strength which will be
derived from Jimmy Rector being again
in action they should be able to roll
up quite a bunch of points in this affair
However, they will have no easy time
OF 1t, since both the Redskins and Hill
toppers are going after the southerners
with a vengeance: Glenn Warmers bunch
were by no means at it's best indoors
of this kind for them. But when it comes
to performing on dirt track they usually
make 1t hot for those that they run
against. and 1t would not be surprising if
they should turn the tables on the Orange
and Blue.
The West End lads are also going to
make extra efforts to bag the trophy
and the squad which they bring to Char
lottesville will not only be the biggest
sent out by the institution in a number
OF years. but 1t will also be a speedy
one. Besides Martin Boernstine Smith
and Capt. Gibbs. who. according to the
New York press, had big chance to
conquer Fordham and Holy Cross in the
relay championship last Saturday night
until one of the four was knocked down
by a spectator crossing the track all
the other stars of the school will be
brought out and coached for the affair.

and Schlosser will be found. These
two were disqualified previous to the
Georgetown games. but as this trouble
was purely technical one. it will NEST
likely be removed in time to allow
them to again compete. Mulligan and
Maher will be on hand to take care Of
the lOng-distance events, while Martin
and Bibbs can run in the 100 and 40
Boernstine will be entered in the 22o
and 40, in which events he has already
Tom Smith, the G. L. timber topper,
another chance to show his superiority
over Martin, the champion hurdler of
the Virginia school. and as these two
are great enemies this battle should be
the biggest of the day. Add to this
squad number of old stars. such as
Montgomery, Devine and Munhall, and
it will be seen that the local college
will be pretty we'll represented in the
track events.
In the field contests things do not
look quite so bright. Big "Cy'' McDon-
aid, the base ball star, has promised to
throw the weights AS will be remem-
bered, he won a great number of med
ais for Central High while competing
in scholastic circles, and from his past
performances he looks good to win a
few points for Georgetown tossing the
irons. He will be ably assisted at this
work by "Wobby" O'Conor, the fresh
man who surprised his following b. the
excellent showing he made at the Johns
Hopkins games. Although no one looms
up as possible pole vaulter there are
couple of promising ones for the nigh
jump in the persons of Ed Fitzgerald
and Carter, both of whom took medals
in the gym. meet held last December
In order that the candidates may
have every facility for lettering their
condition. Manager Corcoran has ar
ranged for the complete overhauling of
the |quarter-mile track and work will
be started On same without further de-
lay 1t Will be given a good harrow
ing. after which the stones will be
picked off and the stretch measured
and rolled. Volunteer corps of students
will assist in the work in order that
1t may be done more speedily and care
fully, for every one on the hill is anx-
ious that nothing stand in the way Of
the practice Of the men who will en-
deavor to win track honors out Of
doors, as was done in the days whcn
Duffy and Wefers wore the Blue and
Gray.
