Charlottesville, Va, January 23.--
With the George Washington meet at
Washington Just one week Off. the vir-
ginia track team appears to be In ex-
cellent condition Despite the poor
financial condition OF the General Att
lctic Association. arrangements have
been made to carry a large squad. and
Virginia will be in close reach OF the
handsome trophy cup given to the COLI
lege winning the greatest number OF
points. There are a large number OF
new men on the squad, besides the stars
of last year, and they have showed up
we'll In the tryouts. With the handi-
caps allowed, there is little doubt that
they will capture number of places
The old men VINO are always good for
points are Captain Martin Holiday,
Ashby and Burke.
The relay with Cornell will. of course,
be the big event of the meet. For the 4
last five years Cornell has had the
fastest relay in the East, and a victory
over her would be the biggest success
the Virginia relay team could hope for.
AT this writing it looks as IL fourth
place on the team will go to Douglas.
one of the pitchers on the varsity base
ball nine, with Stapleton Goochi as all
ternate. Gooch Is the little quar-
| back who made such name for him
self throughout the past football sea-.
! son. Other candidates who have been
1 making strong bids for the vacant
place on the team are c. Williams.
Bryant and Caldwell. Stanton. the Cal
sEifornian, is making the hest time for
4 the quarter so far, while Goodwin and
i Wiltshire are running equally behind
him, according to an unofficial report

at the University OF Virginia Monday
afternoon. when all candidates for
battery positions will report to Train
Ell Lannigan. 1t Is hoped that there
will he many applicants for pitcher
this season. The. team is severely
crippled on the slab on account OF the
failure of Carl Walker, the star twirI-
crsof the last two years, to return to
the university. The place left vacant
by him is big one, and every effort
will be made to fill it,. The varsity
has several promising candidates back
In line this year. There Is Wilmer.
Walkers twirllng-mate last year, w no
humbled both Holy Cross and Ford
ham last spring. and he may be Sde-.
pended upon to deliver the goods
| again. &. :s
Douglas, Culbertson and stratton,
who made good Impressions as men1
| bers of last years squad are hack In:
college, and should show improved.
| FORM Il t Is not at all unlikely that
some new man will be discovered from
the candidates as yet unknown, and
4 altogether the prospects for a strong
i pitching staff are not bad. Captain
Pearson also needs a capable back
stop to help him. ts
