A GOOD TRACK TEAM
Likely to Be Turned Out by
Georgetown This Year.

Will Coach.

Georgetown University will undoubt-
edly have the best track team in recent
years this season. as there are track
men listed in the different departments
of the institution that are considered
to be corners by those well posted in
the running game. There will be more
attention devoted to the runners this
year. and although the Hilltoppers will
be greatly weakened by the loss of ex-
Capt. Tom Smith. who will never again
don the spiked shoes, on account OF the
injuries he received last year in the
Johns Hopkins meet. they should. how
ever, with an even break Of luck, score
many victories in this seasons inter-
collegiate track meet.
The Hilltoppers will need all the ma
terial they can muster together, for
Manager Kingsley is arranging a hard
schedule with most OF the leading COL
lege track teams in the east. The
Blue and Gray will most likely meet
Virginia for the championship OF the
south in their match race in the former :
meet. If the Orange and Blue is going
to defeat the Hilltoppers for the south
ern supremacy, IL will have to de-
velop a faster team than has been in
the south in many years.
capt. Bill 0drrlSdn, WHO came INTO
the limelight last year by winning both
the dasheS at the Georgetown meet is
very Well satisfied with this years out
look, and predicts that the Hilltoppers
will have a banner year on the track.
Carrigan intends to call out his candi-
dates as soon as the foot ball season
is over, and thus give the coach a
chance to look over the new men. and
to give him sufficient time TO condition
his whole squad for their big races.
Manager Kingsley has already started
to arrange for the Georgetown Univer-
sity meet, which win be pulled off with
in the week of March 1; The games
will consist of more intercollegiate
events than 1T has in the past, and all
the lovers of the spike-shoe sport can
get line on the best collegiate run
ners I'm the country this year. The
mana cement is also considering the ad-
visibility of running a meet on the
varsity field at Georgetown. This will
probably be a banner meet, for II Will
close the season for the Blue and Gray
squad.
Bob Eller. a new man at the Blue and
GRAY institution. will probably turn ont
to be one of the best hurdlers and dash
men that have ever been developed at tho
Hilltop institution. He gives every prom

at the spiked shoe game. much Is eN-
pected of this youngster during the com
ing season. Chapman runs the quarter.
and in his workouts on the Blue and
GRAY field this fall he has done better
than two minutes in this distance.
The basket ball season VIII begin at
about the same time that the track men
are called out and 1t is expected that
this branch OF athletics viii arouse more
interest among the students OF the uni
versity than il has ever done before. Al
a meeting Of the executive committee or
the athletic association held yesterday
Tom Fortune was elected manager and
lack Kingsley was selected for the cap
taincy. The former managed the goal
tossers very successfully, as he was tho
only man I'm years that has made the In
door game self-sustaining. while the lat
ter, who is to captain the team. Is a.
three-year veteran at the game. Those
who have been following the Blue and
Gray varsity basket ball team realize
that Kingsley is the best man in the uni
versity for the place because of his thor
ough knowledge of the game and his
hard, consistent playing. Jim Coilinow-
er has been engaged to coach the team
this year, and, as he was one OF the best
players that the Hilltop institution ever
turned out. very satisfying results are ex-
pected of him as a teacher.
