shotput. If Hart of George Washington
ably rank with the best of them. Bryant
of Georgetown is reputed to have a bet
ter record than either of those men
toned.
New men will have to be developed in
both the $50 and mile runs and it is not
either of the schools. Maxon, a George
Washington man. is said to be excep-
tionally good at both distances.
Virginia lost more than any OF the
other schools by graduation. Staunton,
to whom the 40 was always conceded,
left. while Wiltshire and Goodwin grad
uated. Wiltshire while running on the
relay team was at the same time the
best half-miler in this section, doing the
distance in 1.59. Goodwin was a relay
man and did the 40 in fairly good time
Martin will be the mainstay of the team
this season and he will be counted on
to score points in the hurdles. pole vault
and dashes. 1t will be hard matter te
and 1t is 2 surety that they will not be
filled by men the equals of those who
left. The relay four will be far below
the usual standard. The three fastest
men OF last seasons quartet will not be
on hand. Todd is the only regular left
show much class and as first-year men
are not allowed to compete it is doubt
full whether four can be turned out
this year that will be anywhere near as
good as last years four.
Georgetown will start the season with
very good prospects. much better. in fact,
than in the last few years. While last
seasons aggregation did not contain any
stars. there were several men in the
squad who were capable of making good
men with little more experience and
training, and these, with the new ma
teriai. ought to be nucleus for the
building of the best team in recent
years. Barriscello will be a sure point
than likely that Martin will score in the
dashes. Smith is among the best of the
murders There is some good new ma
terial on hand, and this, with the old men
who are left should compose a mighty
good aggregation. The relay team will
be lar above the standard set by the four
last years.
George Washington is practically an
unknown quantity. Very little has been
accomplished by the downtown school
in recent years in the track. and what
Will be done this season is problematical.
The manager is working hard to turn out
a good team, and 1t is probable that
some success will reward his efforts
The Maryland Aggies lost their two
best men in Adams and Munson, but thew
are confident that good team will be
turned out. Anyway they are almost
sure to hold their place at the head
OF the secondary schools.
Johns Hopkins is apt to be represented
by good aggregation this season. Hor-
Iax ana Br1dgeman are back for the bur-
dies. with Stollenwork, Bridgeman and
Fulton for the relay team. Several new
men are on hand who have made record q
at other schools and are almost sure to
score points in some Of the events. When
Virginia is met in the annual dual meet
this year the Orange and Blue agprepa-
ton will not have the easy time of other
years.
The athletic clubs are bound to furnish
some good competition. With Smithson.
Herring, King, Sterrett and Adams com.
peting for the Washington Grove Club
against Turner. Warner, White and Steele
of the McCulloughs of Baltimore. there
is likely to be more than one warm race
between them.
In the scholastic ranks the Central High
school seems to be the best bet. although
Rathbone of Business and Tanner of
Western will push its representative in
the dashes hard. Lockwood Of the Cattle
dral School will also have to be consid-
cred as hard man to beat in the quar-
ter. Baltimore City College furnished
some good men In the middle distances
last year. and as the same ones are back
it is likely to repeat.
With five indoor meets in which to test
the merits OF the men. and with the col
leges and schools more evenly matched
than in years. there is every reason to be-
lieve that the coming season will be ths
best ever recorded in the annals of the
South Atlantic A. A. L.
