it is more than likely that they will go in
to win If possible.

70 win II possible.
The game which the GEORGETOWN basket
ball team has scheduled with the Navy
February % is one that is being banked
ON by the coach and players as being
their chance to accomplish much in the
way OF establishing the team on high
standard. II the Navy is held to a close
score or If the Hilltoppers should be lucky
enough to win they feel that they will
have done something really worth while
something that will cause the basket ball
team to be placed in line with the other
big fives, which 1t has not been in the
last three or four years.
It is decided Inconvenience to those
schools which desire to enter teams in
the track meet that they have no place
for the men to train. For instance, Gal.
laudet intended to enter teams in all the
local meets to be held this winter, but il
was found that no place could be secured
Tor the men to train in and the plan had
| to be abandoned
One reason why the Maryland Aggies
deserve such great credit for what they
have been doing In track athletics in the
indoor meets during the last few years is
| because of the poor facilities they have
for training. All the work that is done
by the Farmers has to be accomplished ia
one of the corridors, and the longest dash
that can be secured Is about twenty-five
yards. Despite the fact that they have
had the poorest place to train imaginable
the Farmers have managed to turn out
teams that in the last three years have
| not lost single race
It was desired by the Boston Athletic
Association officials to have a three-cor-
nered relay race in their meet Saturday
night between the Boston College. George
town and Holy Cross: Holy Cross re-
fused to run against Boston College,
claiming that it desired stronger oppo-
nent. 1t was the opinion of the Holy
Cross management that relay with
Georgetown as the only other team would
great rivalry that has always existed be-
tween the two schools.
Business High entered it's entire squad
yesterday in the George Washington meet
and placed a senior team to run against
Tech and Western. Besides the senior
team the Stenographers will be represent
ed in each Of the scholastic events and
several of the open.
Inc fact that Business has entered a
relay in the race between Tech and
'. estern will render that event all the
more interesting. The Business senior
team won from the Western four in the
dual meet recently held between tne two
schools. and it is evidently going to make
an attempt to repeat the trick in the
open games. Business probably figures
that since It has won from Western, it
, has just as much chance against Tech
| as has the four representing the Red and
White institution
Practically all the local schools and
clubs are sending over big entry lists
for the meet to be held in Baltimore
next week by the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity in the 5th Regiment Armory. While
| they will probably not be represented by
as many men In the Baltimore games as
here, each will have goodly number in
| competition.
