Bill Foley will take charge of the
Georgetown track team after >-.e Christ
mas holidays The veteran trainer will
assume control of the squad immed ately
upon the return of the candidates from
the vacation, and will develop the team
during the remainder of the year Wheth-
err there will be outdoor work after the
last indoor affair which is to be held by
the Blue and Gray the first week in
March. is question which is Vet to be
dec ided.
In regard to the reports that Tom Smith
would coach the team this year, it might
be mentioned as to what Smith himself
had to say in regrd to the matter When
asked about the situation he made the
statement that he was merely out with
the team before the hol days, SO that
there would be somebody at the head -of
things. that more interest might be Gre
ated in the work. As a result of the
work done by Smith, Foley will be able
to take charge of a squad after the holt
days that will he in condition to start
hard training instead of having to lose
two weeks n reaching that point.
Carrigan. captain of the team is the
authority for the statement that the
Central High man would have the team
under his care after the first week in
Inc BIUe ana gray SpTlnteT
said that Foley did great work with the
material out for the events last year. and
that with much better men TO work with
this season he should accomplish much
greater things.
% Foley has had charge of the George
town squad for the last two seasons and
has done well or better than could
even be expected with the material. Both
years in the GEORGETOWN meet he did
, well. although he failed TO win the re-
; Low FRO, I'M; ole ;,,rt
This winter he stands a fair show Of
doing that, as there are some quarter
milers out for practice already who are
sure to develop into good men, and, as all
of last years four is back in school,
there Is every chance that the quartet
lie turns out will be at least five seconds
faster than either of the two which un-
der him have lost to Virginia.
! The Georgetown Props are at Il loss TO
know just why they have not been adj
/ mftted into the scholastic basket ball
league which has recently been formed.
/ The main reason cited by those at the
/ head of the league, that the props had no
eligibility rules such have the other
institutions IN the circuit as to why they
were not admitted. is not based on fact.
as it was stated at GeOrgeown that the
men who are in the prep school have to
| i've up to scholarship qualifications Just
| as do those in the college, before they
| are allowed to play on the athletic teams.
Furthermore, 1T was stated that no com
| munication had been received from any
, body connected with the league, and that
| had there been such setting forth the
| requirements of the league it would have
| then been optional with the Georgetown
youngsters as to whether they would Ell
ter into the agreement.
| In regard to their relations with the
other scholastic institutions III the Dis
trict. the preps feel that they have not
| been treated fairly II Is held on the
| M ltop that the high schools have re-
peatedly scheduled games with the preps
and have Cancelled at the last moment
| without word of eXplanat ton, and then
twhen the scholastic league was formed
| mission without being given chance to
enter. These things, in view of the fact
that Georgetown has extended every con-
side: alton to the schools in allowing the
use of its field for the playing of the in
| terschOol games. cause the props to feel
that they have been unfairly discrim-
ljnated against.
| Georgetown is scheduled TO play St.
Johns College tomorrow night. Although
the Gal'audet quint trimmed the Annap.
oils collesians by a one-sided score. i
has been learned from the ST. John S
team that it presented only a patched-up
aggregation against the Kendall Green
institution, and that against Georgetown
it would be a great deal stronger.
| The Hilltoppers while they are not
because of the fact that St. Johns lost &c
the Gallaudet team. but win go into the
game determined to do it's best, no matter
what the result nor what Kind of a team
it is up against
| The game tomorrow will be the last for
Georgetown until after the holidays, nc
contests being scheduled for the holidays
The next school which Georgetown will
meet is the University Of Maryland, ant
the game will take place January u.
scheduled to play tomorrow evening in
the association gymnasium. Considering
the showing made by the two teams in
their practice and in the games that
have been played far. ii is certain
that IL close. hard game Will be the result
of the meeting of the two qunts.
Cialaudet will use the same lineup as
that which made such good record
against the St Johns team last week
while the Y. NJ. Z. \. will use the regu
