GE0RGET0WN'S /, MEET.
Many Of the Big Eastern Colleges
Will Take Part.

The Georgetown University's eleventh
annual indoor games which will take
place at Convention Hall on the evening
of March already give promise OF being
the biggest intercollegiate relay affair
ever before seen in the south. In this
department all of the big schools OF the
east are to take part, except Harvard.
from whom word was received last week
that it would not be possible for it to
enter.
The latest development in the way OF
relay race is the matching OF Yale and
Princeton in a two-mile event. These
two great rivals have always had a
goodly number of individual entrants in
the Blue and Gray games, but have never
met in a team event. Last year the Ellis
raced in the annual affair between Cor
nell and Pennsylvania. but on account
of the size of the track this was found
impracticable and hence Manager Nc
Nulty early set to work to obtain an
other big school to try out speed with
Yale. The New Haven team will prob
ably be composed OF Boyd, May. Miles
and kirjassoff.
Inasmuch as Pennsylvania defeated the
Ellis at this distance In New York jan

legiate two-mile indoor championship as
the honor at stake between Cornell and

A. honors in the mile run last spring.
at the George Washington meet, but will
be seen to better advantage at the Blue
and Gray games, since two miles Is more
suited to its conditions.
Columbia has entered relay four. but
as yet no match has been made. 1t was

have the speediest four in years. and at
present negotiations are being carried on
with this end in view. Should they not

big northern schools which has rival re-
lations with the New Workers.
With these three big relay events al
ready assured besides the annual battle
for the southern intercollegiate cham
pionship between Georgetown and Vfr-
einia, there is no doubt that the George
town games will rank high in this re-
spect It Is certain that another week
will see other big college matches made
which will augment this pretentious list.
while the club and high school races will
make the whole program the largest of
its kind ever run Off In Convention Han.
With the date for the closing of the
entries fast approaching. many 1ndividu-
ais are being heard from and a large
list is assured. All of the big schools in
the south have promised to send many
stars for the events, while Princeton and
Virginia will be very much In evidence,
each school being represented by full
teams Georgetown will enter at least
fifteen men. which will set new record
for the hilltor school for late years. while
Yale Cornell and Pennsylvania can be
depended on to have their quotas on
hand Johns Hopkins has intimated
that 1t does not wish to enter relay.
II this proves to be the case it will
surely be on hand with aspirations to
win the point trophy. and there is no
doubt that 1t will give Princeton and
Virginia hard rub
Following the general trend. the
Georgetown games this year will so back
to the old yard system of measurements,
thus practically signing the death man
date to the olympic fad in this section Of
the country. This alteration will be great
ly appreciated by almost every college in
the country, and 1t will do its share to-
ward making the national measurements
uniform.
