There is only one place open this year
on the Maryland Agricultural College re-
lay four. Three Of the men who ran OH
and are certain to get back their posi-
tons, leaving but one vacancy to be filled
from the new material and members of
last years squad.
Kemp Duckett and Morris are the
three runners who are Practically sure
of their places on the team. Each of
the mentioned men did exceptionally good
work last season and the one before and
they are all showing the same kind of
form in training this winter.
Just who will make the third place on
the team is a question, but it is likely
that Johnson, a new man, who did some
exceptionally creditable work last spring
for the Frederick High School, will get
the job. Johnson is fairly fast and has
plenty of endurance, the two prime
requisites Of quarter-niler, and 1T is
probable that he will be the man to make
up the quartet. Augustus. who ran the
mile in a creditable manner in the Farm
ers' own meet. and Greenburg, a sprinter,
are other men who may be considered
for the position.
Is no question ABOUT the ASSlcs
having an excellent opportunity to turn
out the best relay four that has ever
represented the school. The Farmers
have three men as a nucleus who have
proved their worth through two seasons
of consistent work, and who should show
only Improvement in the races to be run
this winter. Villanova, Washington and
Lee. Gettysburg, George Washington,
st. Johns, Washington College. Della
ware College Indiana State Normal and
tutions that have had to accept defeat at
the hands Of the M. A. c. aggregation
during recent seasons, and with prac-
tically the same team to represent 1t
this year the College Park school should
add several more victories to its list.
The Maryland Aggies will run against
their old rival in the George Washing
ton meet, st. Johns, and should not have
much trouble winning from the Annapolis
collegians.
Georgetown will send three men to New
York to compete in the Irish-American
Athletic Club games Thursday night Ell
chosen to carry the Blue and Gray in the
big events. Eller will run in the hurdles
and dashes. Capt. Carrigan will enter the
spirits. while Chapman will compete in
the 1,O0O-yard run.
According to the reports sent out Eller
is booked to win the hurdles. 1t has been
said that the New Yorker has been do
ing under six seconds for the 5O-yard
hurdles, going as low as 5 3-5 In one
trial, and il the time is correct there is
little question that he will come away
with the winning end. 1t is questionable
If there Is a man in the country now
who can go the 50-yard hurdles in two
fifths below the record time, and il FL
Ter can accomplish that in open compe.
tition 1t is certain that many points will
be marked up to Georgetown's credit be-
fore the end Of the season. Chapman is
fast at the 1,OOO-yard distance, but
whether he will be. able to do much
against the northern cracks is doubtful.
CaTTigaR Is also running in good form,
but in the dashes he will be pitted
against some Of the best sprinters in the
country.
That four of Georgetown's games will
be played against teams in the South At
lantic division renders it certain that
there will not be near as much trouble
next fall in making decision as to the
best eleven in this section when it comes
