GYM MEET TONIGHT.
Third Annual Event to Be Run Off
at Georgetown.

What will probably set standard as
university event will be witnessed to-
night at Ryan gymnasium, Georgetown
College, when the third annual gym meet
of the institution comes off, the first
event being scheduled to start at Z
o'clock The two previous affairs were
great successes, but it is conceded by all
that tonight's games will outshine both
the others.
Entries have flowed in at a great rate
during the past two days, and as the clos
ing does not take place until O'Clock
this evening many more will probably ne
listed before that time. However. all the
events on the program have full quotas
OF competitors already, so that the late
entries will only serve to increase the
heat of the struggles.
Besides the primary results. of the con-
tests they will also serve as a means for
determining GeorgetownS chances in two
departments of competition this winter.
the field events will bring forth tue
jumpers and weight tnrowers of the
school, while the wrestling bouts will
practically decide who will represent the
Blue and Gray in the dual mat meets
with other schools after the holidays.
Both Manager McNulty of the track team
and Manager Sitterding of the wrestling
ub will be present with a view to get
ting a line on the material available for
their respective departments.
Because of the limited accommodations
Of the gymnasium and as no adm Ssion
Is being. charged, the affair takes the
shape OF private one and admission
can be gained only by card. These cards
can be obtained from any of the students
of the college and from Prof. NJ. A. Joyce,
director of the gymnasium
The full list of events fol ows: Twenty
yard dash. sack race, potato race, three
jumps. running high jump, running jump
from flying rings. rope-clImbing contest,
goal-tossing contest. boxing and wrestling
bouts and tug-of-war between the law
school and college.

No increase in the strength in the
army is recommended by Gen. Bell at
this time. He says that no general pol
icy has been followed in the past in in
creasing the army, but a board Of Sc
lected officers of different arms of the
service have been considering the sub
ject for eighteen months. and it is hoped
that upon the completion of their work
a military policy which can be follow
ed in any future increase in any of the
different departments of the service will
be available.
He does ask that extra officers be pro-
vided fol the army to take the place of
the 100 officers now absent from their
commands on detailed duty.

Physical Tests of Officers.

How determined some army officers are
to procure notifications of the Roose
welt physical tests is shown in Gen.
Bells report. Riding tests and physical
training should not be abolished says
he but conditions connected Herewith
can undoubtedly be improved" He an
nounces that notifications of the system
suggested by experience" will shortly
be made to the Secretary of War Al
though Gen. Bell does not outline what
these notifications will be, it is believed
that they will provide that officers serv-
ing in the tropics and officers about to
retire on account of age shall be eX-
cused from taking the tests. and pos
sibly for providing horses for detached
officers to use in taking monthly rides.

Proposed Reserve.

II we have no adequate reserve. says
Gen. Bell. then our regular cavalry, light
artillery. signal and engineer troops must
be placed on j war basis In time Of
emergency by taking in nearly an equal
force of raw recruits. This greatly weak
ems the efficiency. training and discipline
of mobile forces at the very time
the army should be as thoroughly pre-
pared for active service in the heid as 1t
Is possible to make it.
1t il est mated that the expense which
would he incurred by authorizing "A re-
serve force OF 5000 men would be. APP
proNimately. S2.0n,U0. By the eXpendi-
ture of such sum the United States
provides tor Il trained force twice the
size OF our present mobile army. and
thereby more safely ENSURES Itself against
war.
A law which will provide satisfactory
reserve force for the mobile army is one
of great Importance, and might well be
made to apply also to the organization of
a reserve for the National Guard of the
several states. With organizations of the
regular army and organized militia eX-
banded promptly to war strength fairly
efficience force would he available to cover
the mobilization and training of our
volunteers.
