Manager Wymard. of the Georgetown
track meet, completed last night all his
preliminary plans for the affair, and it is
thought that the local sporting public
will be handed a programme so replete
with enthusiasm and close competition
that they will leave the hall firmly
convinced that the games brought forth
the good results which have been pre-
dCted.
The entries arc nov in the hands of the
Handicapped. and the competitors names
will be published tomorrow morning
while the handicaps allowed each indi-
vidual will most likely be announced in
the afternoon papers.
Reports from all clubs and colleges who
will be represented are to the effect that
the athletes are primed and all confident
they will make the events interesting.
There seems to be a most optimistic feel
ing, especially among the universities
that their respective entrants will bring
home the point trophy. This will go a
great way in furthering the sport as
the winner of the high honors will be a
hard-pushed aggregation from the time
the meet starts until the last individual
event is run off.
The Virginia enthusiasts are placing
great hopes in Brigham, their half-miler
He will meet worthy opponent in Lee.
the fast SS0-yard crack from Johns Hop
kins. and there are many more individ-
UaIs in this event who will be right up
in front Georgetown has a likely con-
tender in Landon.
The 4lO-yard dash will not only have
an excellent array OF club talent in it,
but there will be some of the coming
collegiate stars entered. Ii is in the
Georgetown meet that the university
trainers and coaches put their quarter
mile charges to the most crucial test of
the year. and as il is about the last
big indoor meet before the season closes
the candidates generally show their best
form.
When the starter pulls the trigger
sending the milers on their way, il is
doubtful If a more exciting moment will
be witnessed during the entire evenings
sport. Not only will the classy stars in
the event be a card in themselves, but
the fact that more than forty men will
be strung out on the track fighting hard
for places will be a most interesting and
novel sight.
Hurdles VIII BE Close.
Horrax, the Johns Hopkins star, will
meet some worthy opponents in the
hurdle races. Chisolm and Platt, of Yale,
and Edwards and Dwight, of Princeton,
will push him to the limit, and it would
not be surprising to see the record 90 in
this event.
The intersCholastic events are also sure
to be hard fought as most of the schools
have men in the various events who look
fast enough TO give the more reputed
competitors a run for their money.
When the meet is about half over, the
standards will be set for the pole vault
and high jump, the shot putters will be
called and the field events will hold sway
in full view of the audience. When the
elimination trials are over, the finals will
be announced, and it is expected that
with such men as Fitzpatrick and Hart in
the shot; Horrax, of Johns Hopkins, and
Wolcot, Of Yale, in the high jump, Sterret
and Bredemus, of Princeton; Gardner and
Wagner, of Yale vaulting, that the public
will turn from the track events for
while and witness some classy and thrill
ing competition on the floor.
