TRACK CALL ISSUED.
Georgetown Runners Will Start
Training Tomorrow.


| unsurmountable obstacles, the George
town University track team will get into
active training on the indoor track in
the basement of the Healy building to-
morrow afternoon. The call for candi-
dates was issued yesterday by Manager
McNulty, who proposes TO arrange a
schedule for the year far more extern
sive than any that has been undertaken
by the Hilltop school since 1905. With
this end in view, both he and Capt
Martin are making every endeavor to
interest a large number of students in
the sport, and from all reports their eff
forts are meeting with great success
On account of examinations 1t is not
likely that the full roster of candidates
will be on hand for the first days work
out. Notwithstanding this, however, the
men i'll charge look for a fair showing
of material, and are planning to handle
all who come out SO that there will be
no delay. Coach Foley will be on hand
at 4 O'Clock, and will have full charge
of the practice.
That the chances for n speedy relay
quartet, not to say anything Of the
team for the individual point scoring
are the brightest since the last time that
the southern indoor championship will
be Immediately rccogn Zed when tho
list OF the most likely of those who will
try are mentioned. EX-Capt GIBBS, for
two years a mainstay of the VARSITY and
before that Il prep runner of much note
i'll local interscholastc circles, has re-
considered his Intention of not running
this year. and he can be counted on Il :
certain OF capturing "a place on the four.
Another place will 20 to Capt Martin.

high opinion OF his timbertopping p@w-
ers it Is not very probable that he will

unless it is found to be very necessary
There is still some question as to
whether the relay will be seen in acton

| tiicting dates between the federal game
and the Fordham meet has made it i'm
posi- Bile to have the Blue and Gray rep

four, as the custom has been to meet
the New York school for the Catholic
College championship that evening.
Individual entries will be made as usual
in the federal games, and in case the
first quartet cannot he entered it is
more than probable that second team
will be organized for the occasion.
On the success attained in the indoor
campaign Will d pend whether the Blue
and Gray will again take up outdoor
running. Manager McNutly is of the
opinion that il would be TO the best in
terest of the school 10 again gain adj
mission In the Intercollegiate Association
and also 10 send team to the Pennsyl-
wanna relay ca. niSal and to hold Il dual

seem better than ever for inaugurating
the new pans.

call for much larger squad than it has
been the custom to carry at Georgetown

material OF sufficient caliber shall be on

extra contests men are TO be developed

Foley will spend great dea of IS time
on the long-distance men, and in con-
junction with Prof Joyce of the gymna :
sium he will cndeayor to bring out some
jumpers and weight throwers The recent
gym meet displayed that there was an
xcellent opportunity for accomplishing
this at the present time. While the pres
