Western High will hold a big field day
this spring. The event will be in the ma
ture of an athletic. carnival, and inter-
class contests will be in order in almost
every branch OF sport. The date for the
games has not yet been fixed, but May
% has been named as tentative selec-
ton. and unless something occurs to pre-
vent it is probable that the affair Will
take place then.
The meet will be open to both boys and
girls, and special events will be arranged
for the latter. The boys will engage IN
a regular track and field meet besides
contrasting the class championships IN
base ball and basket ball. There VIII
probably be championships contested De-
tween the girls in basket ball. volley ball.
tennis and few track events.
The idea of the principal of the schooi
in advocating such a set OF games Is 70

that some stipulation will be mace 10 tne

Practically everybody who is following
track. athletics in this city Is wondering
what the makeup of the Georgetown re-
lay team will be when 1t races Sirsihla
saturday night. There are seven or
eight men who have besn working Tor
Mace on the four, but It - questionable
as to which Of them will be seiecteo 20
oppose the Charlottesville quartet. Inefe
are two men who are absolutely certain
of their position, but the other places are
in doubt. Davis and Chapman are sure
TO be members Of the team when IT lines
up against Virginia, and according TO re-
ports II is likely that Ezler will have
place on the team. That leaves the otner
place open to Landon. Mulligan, McBratn,
Golden or Martin
The Virginia four as 1t will race
GeorRetown will be entirely different from
what 1t has been In either OF the TWO
races In which 1t has appeared 1000
and Wiley Cooke will both be members
of the team when it meets the Blue and
Gray this week. and 1t Is possible that
four entirely new faces will be seen.
There Is a chance that the Virginia team
as It will face Georgetown will be FELTON,,
Diebold, Todd and Cooke, and according
to the regulations they have made else
where should be about the fastest crew
in the south.
The Virginia Georgetown basket ball
game for Friday night has been den-
nitely settled. There was some little hitch
in the negotiations last week, but they
have been smoothed over, and 1t is GER
tain that the contest for the champion
ship of the south will take place.
Outside officials have been secured for
the game Weymouth of Yale will referee,
while Sturdy of ST. Johns will umpire.
A unique feature of the Georgetown
meet may be a race between two
basket ball teams. Manager Fortune
of the Georgetown five has invited the
members of the Virginia quint to run a
fiye-man relay race against his team in
the Blue and Gray meet which follows
the evening of the basket ball contest.
A five-man event would be distinct fea-
ture because there are no such races run
in this section, while the fact that the
two basket ball teams were to run against
