The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-12-25

The George Washington meet sched-
uled for the 9Th of February. promises to-
be a very interesting affair. II we are4
to believe early indications this viii be z
the most successful set Of games ever
held by the institution. Mr. Keats. who isl
managing the track team OF the George
Washington University, has several
events upon his sleeve which, provided
they can be pulled off. Will not fail to at 4
tract the sporting public OF Washington. .
He is trying TO make this more nearly an .
intercollegiate and interscholastsc affair
than has hitherto been the case. bcliev- +
ing that a sufficient number OF stars can
be obtained from the schools and COL
leges in the country 10 render il unneces-+
sary TO call upon the New York Athletic
Club and other similar organizations.
Entry blanks have been out for some
time and are already being turned in.
prominent among which is that = Mari
tin McDonagh. of Baltimore. who has
done such remarkable work in the hur-
dies. Although a star and a south Al
lantic champion, MI McDonagh Will have
his hands full 10 win out in the classy
field OF hurdlers who expect 10 compete
in the most spectacular OF dashes. Among
the colleges which have replied favora-
bly, 10 Mr.. Keats invitation are Virginia.
Johns Hopkins. and Pennsylvania. The
latter college must have an exceptionally
good relay team this year. since she has
issued challenege for any OF the big
universities to meet her ia a two-miIs
race in the George Washington games.
such race would be "a great drawing
card. and the management is doing all
that il can TO ind an opponent for Mike
Murphy's aggregation.
Hopkins Stars Coming.
Evidently Hopkins is out for blood this
year, since she has sent in request for
twenty blanks. all OF which are "a bs
filled If an agreement can be reached
between the managers, there should Doe q.
splendid chance for the Baltimore contin-
gent, for ii is understood that Hopkins
has this year one OF the best teams ia
the country.
Although there have been but few
chances 10 watch the George Washington
squad in action. still there is every re1-
son for believing that the Buff and Blue
runners VIII make creditable showing
this year. Fleming, the captain Of the
team, has been showing ND spIendidIr.

team can be made up of these men.
Capable Coaches Obtained.
Especially fortunate is George WASH
mston in having in the law school Jack
Carpenter and Ralph GambeI. Perhaps
there are no two amateurs in this part
of the country who know more about the
game than these men. They arc botii
showing the right spirit by Offering their
services as coaches. and with such men
in charge something oushJ 10 happen.
Another great parsonage in the ath-
letic world who is at tie Hatchetitcs'
