ATHLETES
WILL Be SEEN IN
GEORGETOWN MEET
Eastern Colleges Have Lib
eral Entries for Satur-
days Games.

Probably the greatest squad of ath-
letes that ever assembled in this city
will be seen Saturday night in the
Georgetown University indoor track
and field games which take place in
Convention Hall. Practically every col
lege of Importance in the East has en-
tered its best material in the big games,
and Independent athletic clubs will also
be we'll represented.
Interest is centered largely around
the fifty-yard hurdle, in which event
the shining lights of Carlisle, Yale,
Johns Hopkins, Virginia, and the Uni
versity of Maryland will perform.
Carlisle will send it's best timber
topper, Thorpe, who has proven birnself
to be one of the best Indian athletes
the institution has ever produced. Johns
Hopkins University has entered Horrax,
Its speediest track man. and Yale will
be represented by Plat and Potter.
The two latter have performed great
feats for the Blue in past meets. and
are considered likely winners.
Eller Will Compete.
Bob Eller, who is now the holden of
the record for the 100-yard hurdles, will
be Georgetown's representative in
Saturdays hurdles. Until Eller won the
title in this event 1t was held by Hor-
TaX, who Will compete Saturday for
Johns Hopkins.
Virginia has decided to put Gooch
Ward. and Stacey, three of its bes
men, in the hurdles. Gooch will be re,
membered as having won the hurdle:
in the George Washington meet which
was held here two weeks ago. Warc
| and Stacey are liable to be dangerou!
in the timber topping contests, and i
given any handicap, they stand gooC
to win place. The University of Mary
land has two good men in Timanus anC
| McDonough. The latter won the Soutl
| Atlantic championship in the hurdles
| last year and IS said to be working witt
great speed this gear.

| distance TuIS tHdl "ils w COhtSStS'
Saturday. Tewanima, the Carlisle In
dian miller, is said to be covering TIL

This redskin is particularly anxious t
defeat John Paul Jones, the local ath
lete, who has been performing so vel
for the Irish American Athletic Club

Little Joe Casey May

Little Joe Casey may leave the Tigers

Springs Rubaiyat.

Come, shoot the Dope and in the fire of spring
Lay McDuff and let the echoes ring;
The Winter League has but little way
To futter, and the Bat is on the Bing.
I sometimes think that blooms red
The Dope as when each team has southwark sped;
And every youngster that the Bushes grow
Comes up with laurel on his clammy head.
All, Bug, old dog they all look good in spring;
The form is there the batting eye the wing;
But when the showdown comes, who answers then?
Sans speed sans curves-alack, sans everything.

Doom, for the first time last season, was able to

With this pennant ambition still at work, nothing
but rough and tumble break in the luck of the game

and he has the material Which about frames up the
argument.

wants, and wants badly, in the court

such men can be secured this year
from the names before the voters,
if they will pick them on the blank

whether they are standpatters, Bull

bosses is against that old slogan
vote the Ticket Straight" slogan
that has more than anything else fas-
tened bosses upon the cities, coun-

public the best service for the price,
tariff, predestination or the age OF
