Especial to The Times Dispatch. !


Charlottesville, Va. February Ia
The relay race With Georgetown and,
incidentally, the chances OF winning
the point trophy in Washington on
March ! are the two subjects that are
holding the immediate attention Of
Trainer Lannigan and the members ana
followers Of the Virginia track squad.
Until week before the first race the
relay team has always been an un-
known quantity to almost everybody.
perhaps to Trainer Lannigan himself,
and this Is particularly true this year
Whatever tho team may consist Of it
Will have to show It's best work against
Georgetown, as this is the only
race scheduled at present, and the rep
utation of the team Will rest with the
result. Although 1t could not be
learned to-day when the tryouts Will
BIG run it Is probable they will be held
o-mororw or next day on the Madison
Hall outdoor track
Douglas, sub pitcher on the varsity
nine. and Todd. quarter back on the
football team Will be looked TO as
the nucleus of the new team. Both OF
them ran on the relay last year and
are idSt mon. TODD, running from
scratch. finished fourth in the quarter
mile at the Johns Hopkins meet Sat
urday night. Berkeley seems to be tho
most promising man after the two mem
toned. He has done excellent work
In the two indoor meets winning sec
ond place In the quarter mile, both in
Washington and Baltimore At the
latter place he was only three yards
ahead OF the scratch man. Todd, at
the start Williams, Plunkctt, McAIor-
lies and Caldwell viii make somebody
work hard TO hold place on the team.
1t now semes probable that Larry
Martin Will be able to enter the
Georgetown meet. but ii he does so at
The last minute he will be far from

WOR KIN C HARD
ON TRACK SQUAD
Men Willing and Anxious to
Make a Record for
Richmond.

The Richmond College track team
was out again yesterday afternoon, and
Coach I1agaman had them going over
the hurdles and around the track. The
Improvement which tho candidates for
the various positions arc making is
very gratifying TO the coach. A large
crowd is out daily to watch the work
OF the men.
This interest on the part Of the col
iegc students is iillinE the athletes
with desire TO win, and this desire
tc win is proving OF incstmahlc value
10 the coach In the work which he is
doing. 1t Is now believed that before
the great opcn-air meet, which VIII
be held at the bali park on April .,
takes place, Richmond College Will
have a team Of track athletes COM
parable to any team in the South.
While that is broad assertion, and
while it may appear to some as
stretching the facts, Coach Hagaman
nevertheless feels that way about it,
and when the man who is training
he team is willing to make such Il
statement the mere outsider must be
willing to accept 1t until it Is dis
proven.
