YALE TRACK STARS
FOR LOCAL MEET
G. c. Games Get Cream of
Old Ellis Talent.

The largest track and field squad that
has ever represented Yale in an indoor
meet south of New York will compete in
the thirteenth renewal of the Georgetown
games which are to be held in Conven-
ton Hall the night of March T.
Probably the greatest all-round athlete
on the Yale team is Capt Fitzpatrick. all
American football player and intercolle-
giate point winner. Besides Fitzpatrick,
Gardner will also be here taking part in
the pole vault and hurdles. Gardner is
also the national amateur golf champion.
Old Eli will also be represented by at least
a dozen other men. including a two-mile
relay team, which in all probability will
race Princeton.
Manager Wymard announced yesterday
that he has received word from Cornell
to the effect that the Ithicans prefer TO
run a mile relay against Pennsylvania in
stead Of two. In case the Ithicans re-
fuse to run the tWo-mile event it is more
than likely that they will be pitted
against Princeton at a mile, while Yale
will take on the Quakers at the longer
distance. ....
Besides all of the larger colleges having
relay teams on The floor that night.
Princeton. Pennsylvania, and Cornell
have promised to send down their entire
track team. Every college entered will
make a determined effort to land the
handsome point trophy offered as a prize
for the greatest number of points scored,
ard competition of the keenest order is
promised.
With such men as Capt. Dwight, Hart,
Sawyer, Cook, and Hall, of Princeton;
Minds, Hough. Paul, Burdick, of Penn
sylvenia, to say nothing of the stars
from Yale. Cornell, Virginia, Georgetown.
Johns Hopkins, Swarthmore. Harvard,
and numerous other colleges. Manager
Wymard will give to the lovers of track
athletics the greatest meet ever held in
Washington. .-. .-.r-
Berna, the best cross-country runner of
the country. and intercollegiate two-mile
champion, will make his initial appear
ance in this city. He will wear the col
ors of Cornell and will be pitted against
the best runners in the collegiate world.
That Virginia will come hera trained
to the minute goes without saying. Pop
Lannigan's charges are always fit and
ready to battle for supremacy Virginia
would rather win in this city than any
other place. and if this team does not
carry OFF first henors it will be great
disappointment to he- followers. Until
week before the race with Georgetown.
