the National Guard Athletic Association
will be held at the National Guard
Armory Hall Thursday evening March
81, 1910. The preliminaries will be held
Tuesday, March %. 1910. The date of the
meet has been changed because of the
annual inspection taking place the week
previous, and also to allow the athletes
who come home from college at Easter
to take part. The National Guard is
taking more than usual interest in track
athletics this year. having entered two
relay teams in the George Washington
meet, and intends to enter all of the
meets here and in Baltimore. There will
also be men entered in the individual
events in all of the meets. The guard
has some very capable material this
year, and expects to rub some of the clubs
who have hitherto carried off the point
trophies at these meets. The prizes for
the National Guard meet are of unusual
design and are new to Washington.
The closed events will be for national
guardsmen only and are changed from
the ones of last year. A new event that
will cause "a lot of fun and show the
public the way the guard had to change
at Boston will be the equipment relay.
Each man will run a quarter mile and
at the end will doff his clothes and the
next man will have to dress before he
can run.
The open events have been added to
and will give the club athletes more of
an opening.
Following is a list of events CLOSED
for n. G. A. Al: Fifty-yard novice. 80
yard championship. Jo-yard consolation.
c2O-yard hurdle, 22O-yard dash, 44O-yard

mile run and club relays.

FACULTY CUTS SCHEDULE.
GEORGETOWN Will Compete But Twice
AWAY From Home.

Manager McNulty of the Georgetown
University track team gave out yester-
dav that the schedule which he had an
nounced a week ago had not been ap-
proved by the faculty director Of athlet-
les and that as a consequence IL was
necessary that the trip to Richmond and
the contemplated trip to the Fordham
games in New York be entirely elimlnat-
ed. This means that the Blue and Gray
will be seen in action but four times this
winter, twice on local floors, once at
Baltimore and once at New York. On
February 10 the men will make their
debut at the federal games. a week later
they will compete at the Johns Hopkins
meet in Baltimore, after which they will
train for the crucial appearance in the
Georgetown meet OF March ). The re-
lay team will close the season III New
York at the Columbia games on March
T.
The candidates are daily practicing under
the direction of Coach Foley, who is now
endeavoring to get the different men
running in the distances for which they
seem most suited. The biggest develop
ment of the past week was the inaugu-
ration of training in the weight depart
ment while it is expected that the end
of the coming week will see the jumpers
and pole vaulters in line.
Barricello at present looms up most
prominently among the shot-putters, al
though he will undoubtedly be given a
hard rub by the other candidates before
the month is over. McQuail, the eX-prep

The track management of Business
high is thinking seriously of sending a
few entries to the Richmond meet Feb
ruary II. This is another example of the
interest being taken in track athletics
by the Stenographers, for they never
have taken much interest in out-of town
competitions and, indeed, have had but
few entries for the past few years in the
local indoor affairs. Business is begin
ming to realize the necessity of plenty of
experience in order to get the best re-
suits out of a man. If all the high
schools would enter more of these meets
1T would arouse great deal more interest
among the boys of the schools and act as
sort of an inducement for them to

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The high school base ball teams should
display classy ball playing this spring if
they receive the instructions from the
professional players who have promised
their services for a short period in the
early spring. Elberfed, who has been
reported to be one of the coaches of the
Technical High nine, will also give the
Eastern High School boys a few pointers,
according to a recent report made by
Capt. Defandorf of the Capitol Hill track
squad. Dick Woodward, a former high
school player, will be the regular coach
of Eastern, however, and he will remain
with the squad throughout the season.
Springman will handle the Central High
boys. while Western will in all probable
ity appoint Byrd, coach of the foot ball
team during the season just past, and
now coaching the track team, as director
of the base ball candidates. Byrd has
had considerable experience as a ball
player. and will be strong candidate for
the Georgetown University nine this
spring.

Technical will be fortunate in having
a veteran catcher on the receiving end
this spring. and it is the only high school
Whlch Will not produce a new man back
of the bat. Business lost Pagan Central
lost Menefee, Eastern lost Martin. and
Western lost Howard, all good men
whose positions will be hard to fill. The
player who will do the bulk of the catch
ing for the Machinists this spring is Nor
rls. who experienced his first year of
high school athletics last season He
should lead the players of this position
this spring.

it that Hike Macdonald, captain of the
Blue and White base ball nine for this an
preaching spring. will be in fine fettle
when the bell rings for the high school
base ball tossers to line up in competi-
llon. IL was reared that the injury Mac
Donald received early in the fall hurt
ing his knee severely. would keep him
from participating in the base ball games
this spring, but from the present outlook
he will not be handicapped from the after
effects OF this injury. Macdonald will
play first base. and this will mean that
Acton and Prince two other candidates
for this position, will be shifted to the
outfield, where they are most needed. and
where there is little doubt they Will make

Western. Technical and Business
should get busy and arrange for some
closed meets similar to the ones these
three schools held last winter This Is
the best way known to afford the novices,
as well as the veterans. the training
which is the most needed, and that is in
regular competition. Business has the
quarters in which these meets could be
held, and the managers of these respect
i've track teams could do nothing better
for the good of each squad than to ar

place on Saturday mornings. 1t would
