Now that the football season is soon
to come TO a close. all interest viii turn
TO track athletics at the Hilltop School,
the preliminary work Of which win start
ia two weeks For several years
3 Georgetown. as n other branches Of
sport, has been very weak in track work,
and enthusiasm has been gradually on
the wane. until Coach Bin Foley took the
helm last season, and, with the amount
and caliber Of the material on hand,
turned out quite a formidable team, which
all but captured the cup for the greatest
number of points In the Georgetown meet.
Skip Wymard, the husky tackle on the
varsity. who is manager of this branch
OF athletics. has again secured the serv-
ices of Biz Foley. and this year he viii

town once more on the footing il for

and Wefers wore the colors of the Blue
and Gray
Prospects for winning aggregation are
unusually bright this fall, and with such
a capable captain as Tom Smith 10 lead
the West End runners much should be
realized. Smith Is a junior in the col
legiate department. and one of the most
popular men IN the school In his two
previous years he has been a point win
ner In the hurdles, and as a prep man
was the best scholastic timber topper IN
The South. This season he VIII again
be the mainstay OF GEORGETOWN IN this
line. Other men who bid fair 20 show up
well are Martin last years captain:
Reilly. Jennings. and Berg IN the sprints,
Sprowels, Watts, McQullah, Lamorral in
the longer races. and Crosse, Mulligan, and
a few others in the quarter These are
all last years men, and with their OK
perience should form valuable nucleus
Tor this year.
1t Is In the new material that George
town viii place much of its hopes. for
from present Indications there viii be a
gocdly squad of new men out. Costello
last year was one OF the best pole
yaulters in the New England high schools
and he has record OF over clever feet,
which should be able 10 win for him IN
the meets IN this vicinity. Besides this
he is a broad and high Jumper. and
judging from his form and speed on the
football field should develop into a first
class quarter-miler. There are also several
other football men who should make
good on the track, for besides Barricello
the shet-putter. there are Dunn and Hag-
serty. Walsh. al quarter. is exception
ally fast on his feet and should earn
place on the relay. and Krafts has a
beautiful stride and the stamina for long
distance going. Possibly one Of the best
little runners Georgetown has been lucky
IN getting Is Franklin Davis, the former
Business High School captain, who IS
undoubtedly one of the fastest men at the
quarter in the District. lie will prove a
valuable addition to those who are to try
for tie relay this year, and should he
show his true form viii land a position
we'll up among the quartet. Another high
school man is Roger Bone who led the
Red and White last year. Although
rather small he was the mainstay of
Western, and with Foley back of him, he
should develop even greater speed.
The Georgetown runners are usually
given "A try-out In the Baltimore meet,
which annually takes place In December.
but as this has been discontinued this
year, il is hardly probable that much viii
be realized in track athletics until after
Christmas. Then work will begin IN
earnest. and much attention viii be paid
10 getting out fast relay, one which
viii be able TO cope with Virginia in
the Georgetown games and not be left
behind by a big margin, as she has been
IA the past two seasons. With Martin
Davis. Walsh. Bone, Crosse. Mulligan,
Gibbs, and a few others, there should
be a pretty fight for places. and there is
ne question that a speedy relay will be
gotten from this bunch.
Manager Wymard IS strongly contem-
plating sending the relay to the Boston
games. and besides making their annual
appearance in New York, ether at the
FGTdham or Columbia carnivals, will be
seen in action here In the several meets
which are pulled of. eliminating with
the Georgetown games.
