AMATEUR ATHLETES

If George Washington could get all the
good men out for the track team who
are IN the university it would stand an
| excellent chance of capturing the ma
jority of the indoor meets this winter.
Barr, the Harvard pole vaulter; Car
penter. the Olympic 40 champion, and
Gamble, the Princeton sprinter, are some
of the men who are in the law school,
! Barr would hardly have a close competi-
tor in the pole vault, Carpenter could
! easily take the 40 and $50 and Gamble
! ought to be able to annex first place in
/ the dash events. This would mean TWEEN
/ ty points for the Hatchetites, ordinarily
/ enough to win any meet in which sew
eral colleges were taking part. Some
body ought to get to work and influence
| them to come out and run for the school
! instead of trying to have them coach the
team.
The Maryland Aggies' goal tossers re-
ceived an awful bump at the hands of
the Gala udet basket ball team yesterday.
The J6 to 80 score shows that the Farm
ers defensive work was very poor. Able
to toss enough baskets themselves to win
any ordinary game, they seemed unable
to stop their opponents from scoring al
| most at WILL The Suburbanites should
| take the defeat in philosophical way,
as they can hardly expect anything else
in view of the fact that there is only one
man ION the team who has had any eX-
perience whatever. The sport is just he
ing revived at the Maryland school. and
it should not be abandoned again no
Maxon of George Washington has the
reputation of being a. fast miller. In the
indoor meet held by the Hatchetites last
foil f1n t1,aH
the distance in AT, remarkable per-
Torrance if true.
John Boloc, who, it has been given
out. would run for the local Cross COun-
try Club, will hardly be able to repre-
sent that organization unless he gets per-
mission from the Baltimore Cross Coun-
try Club. to which he now belongs. There
lis ruling in the Amateur Athletic
Union that will not allow a man to COM
pete for one club after leaving another
without that clubs permission until after
six months have elapsed. Whether or
not Elphinstone, captain of the Balti-
more club, will allow Boloc to get away
hardly thought likely that he will hold
the local lad against mis- WILL
Reuter- of Central High is doing mighty
good work in the dashes row, better than
at any time since he has been on the
w i
probably lie trained for the quarter, so
that his speed may be used in the relay
four.
Tanner and Barclay will be the MAIN
stays of the track team at Western this
season. Willie very little has been done
as yet to draw them out, they are both
doing the preliminary stunts I'm good
form, and Ii is believed that their work
this winter will be better than that OF
last.
The Maryland Aggies have a good sized
squad out on the track and have high
hopes of building up a good aggregation.
1t is hardly possible though, that the
team this season will be up to the stand
ard of former ones. Munson and Adams
of last years relay four were lost by
graduation. and as they were about as
good as any i'm this section at the dis
lance it will be almost impossible to fill
their places from the material at hand.
| In view of the success Of the teams
| turned out so far this year by Eastern
| High that school has determined to put
| track team in the fed. Candidates
will be called out shortly and practice
will be started-
| Georgetown has the best chance In
| years to turn out a winning track team.
/ The material is much better than was at
the disposal Of the coach last season and
there is every reason to believe that BIZ
Foley will develop the best aggregation
of the spotlight on the Hilltop.
