The Washington herald., 1911-02-26

With four hundred and fifty individual
entries carded from more than a dozen
prominent universities and twice as many
big athletic clubs and prep schools Of the
East and South, the thirteenth annual set
of indoor games under the auspices of
the Georgetown University Athletic Asso-
citation gives promise of SURPRISING in ex-
tent and class the many excellent affairs
that have been held in this city during
the past decade. The meet will take place
the coming Saturday evening at Conven-
ton Hall, the first event being scheduled
to start promptly at 7:$a o'clock.
Nor is II only the list of competitors
that has raised the hopes of Manager
WyInard over the success of the games,
for already the advance sale OF seats has
reached record breaking proportions. A
pleasant evening will probably see the
arena at the big hall surrounded by the
biggest crowd that has ever attended a
like event in the South, the increase in
the number of spectators being mostly
due to the fact that the Blue and Gray
games this year are practically the only
classy indoor set OF contests taking place
in Washington.
North vs.. south.
The pg colleges of the North that are
to send representatives are Yale with a
quota OF fourteen men and a relay quar-
tet, Princeton with squad Of sixteen
men and a relay. Pennsylvania with thir
teen stars in addition to its wonderfully
speedy long distance four and Cornell
with its crack relay aggregation. besides
a couple of the stars OF the university for
the events. Against these representatives
of the other side OF tho Mason and Dixon
line. the South will contend for points in
what promises to be a sectional battle
with odds about event.
Virginia and Johns Hopkins, the former
sending nineteen OF Pop LanniEan'S
developed stars and the latter entering
the eleven capable athletes who won for
them the Baltimore meet OF two weeks
ago, loom up as the more formidable de-
tenders OF the Southern side of the con-
troversy. They will be ably supported
though by host OF other Southern stars,
twenty being entered from Georgetown.
five from Richmond College, nine from
Baltimore City CoIIcgS. three from Mary
land Agricultural College three from
Loyola- and six from Catholic University
stars in Evidence.
Among this aggregate of aspiring run
ners and competitors in field events will
% some OF the greatest intercollegiate
stars now in active competition in both
the Eastern and Southern athletic world
Horrax, of Johns Hopkins. the Southern
title holder in the low hurdles will be
pitted against Chisholm and Platt, OF
Yale. and Dwight. of Princeton. The Yale
representatives are both stars of the
higher order, Chisholm having equaIled
a worlds record at the recent games of
the Boston Athletic Association.
Holiday will probably be Virginia's $ only
representative in this race. Larry Martin
not having entered as yet The with
drawal OF Martin, coupled with the dis
ability of Capt. Smith, of Georgetown.
has somewhat cut down the number of
excellent timber-toppers available from
the South, out the loss in this respect has
been more than made UP for by the OBJ
tanning of the entries of the best hurdle
artists of other sections. among whom are
included Tappan, of Johns Hopkins. the
understudy of Horrax: Edwards, of Penn
sylVania, and Larkin, of Yale

Fitzpatrick in he shot-put should pull
some points for Yale in that event. He
will be remembered as being the strong
