Within less than two " eeks before the
Georgetown indoor meet. the Blue and
Gray track team is rounding into the
final stretch Of their training for the big
games. Since the Baltimore and Boston
trips of last week the local track men
have been putting through some vary
'stiff work, and especially this week will
Foley push them to the limit, so as to
have them in the pink of condition when
they run up against the other colleges.
There was a lay off Sunday for most
of the men, but beginning to-day all the
relay candidates and those competing in
open events will go through their full
distances daily.
1t is possible that trials may be held
again for the relay which is to run
against Virginia, and from the speed
which certain ones are showing there
may be a shake-up in the team as it ran
in Boston against Holy Cross.
Both Nulligan and Bone are going very
fast at present and may upset calcula-
tionS as to the team of four which will
run the Orange and Blue. Still all of
the members of the relay at present are
running in excellent shape, and going
through the longer distances in good
style.

capped since last week with a bad cold,

would probably be one Of the best quar-
ter-milers indoors If he could take the
turns, but being a newcomer at the
game and a large man he is greatly
handicapped by not being able to get
around the corners.
Stars for Open Events.
In the open events Coach Foley will
have several good men. Beary, the
sprinter, is running the fifty-yard dash
very fast at present. and had he been
able to compete in Baltimore last week,
would surely have been heard from. He
will be Georgetown's mainstay in the
dashes in her games Of March 4.
Schenck and Landon are going well in
the half and mile while the fact that
Costello has been able to come out daily
and try his hand at pole vaulting will
certainly give the locals a chance to get
something in this event. as the former
star football man is going over the bar
at 10 feet inches.
Coach Foley is also giving much time
to the development of the preps. and al
though they are few in numbers, the ma
terial is first class. and he has several
men which. according to him. bear watch

qualified by knocking down three hur-
dies.
ChiIds for Relay Team.
Childs is also going well in the dashes,
but will probably be used in the relay.

school men. Western trimmed Tech in

though. that they were up against the
fastest team which has represented Epis-
copal in years, lost them the race so
they will be no easy opponents for the
Props, according to Coach Byrd. Those
who will probably make up the relay are
Capt Mclaughlin, Childs, McGrath, and
Talbot or Golden.
