The Carlisle Indian School will enter a
relay team to run in the George Wash
ington meet. Besides the four men who
will run the relay there will be several
other entries from the government in
stitution. especially in the distance
events.
Manager IIodgkins wrote to Glen War
ner asking him what guarantee he
wanted to bring down q team. The
amount stipulated by Warner was salts
factory to the George Washington man
and he Immediately got into conmunica-
ton with the Indians coach and accepted
his terms.
The Indians have signiied their will
lingness to run against the one-mile team
from Swarthmore and the event will be
made one of the features OF the meet.
Swarthmore will enter two-mile and
one-mile team and it has stated that 1t
is willing to meet the Indians.
Another relay that is to be brought
down to run in the George Washington
meet Is tho one representing LeMgn.
Arrangements have not been dennltAly
made for the bringing down Of the LehiSh
team, but it Is very likely that the Penn
sylvanians will appear against one OF the
other schools in its class.
Georgetown will play its first big bas-
ket bali game tonight. The Hilltoppers.
while they are hardly expecting to win
from st. Johns, do think that they Will
make a better showing than Is expected.
During the past few days the nve mas
shrown much greater strength than at
any previous time during the year. The
p ayers have shown greater power in adj
vancing the ball and much greater accu-
racy in shooting goals once the bail has
been carried down into the opponent $
territory.
Fury will be- seen in a forward posi-
ton for the first time, and IL his work In
the practice Is a criterion Of what he Will
do tonight his play will be all that can
be desired. Gibson will play the other
forward, and he is In much better con-
dition than he has yet been. Heiskeii
and Colliflower will hold down the guard
places. while Schlosser will play center.
The combination has been working wei.
much better than has any other that has
been tried this season, and 1t should put
up its best game tonight. :.
The chances are that st. Johns will
win by a fair margin, although the ad-
Georgetown to play q close game. There
is a possibility that the Blue and Gray
will win, but not much probability, az
ST. Johns has one OF the best teams IN
the country. The fact that the New York.
ers were able to play the Navy as they
did on floor with which the Sailors
are absolutely familiar, shows just how
strong the quint is.
Two cups instead of one will be given
in the George Washington meet. 1t was
originally intended to give only one, but
the objection was raised by Virginia that
the scholastic events were more along
the line of closed events, none other than
those from the schools being allowed tc
enter them, consequently two cups should
either be given or the scholastic events
should not be allowed to count In the
number of points won for the one. The
objection raised was O good one, and the
George Washington manager announced
Immediately that he would give two cups,
instead of one. Now the schools and col
leges will each have "a cup to compete
for.
Jim Collifiower, who officiated in the
St John s-Navy game Saturday. says that
the New Workers are way above the aver
age of the supposedly big teams. He
made the statement that while the team
didn't seem to have many good plays, ii
was composed Of men who were excep-
tionally good individual players. 1t was
his opinion that st. Johns would stand
an even chance to win from any quint In
the country.
Louis Haggerty is proving himself an
energetic manager for the Georgetown
base ball team. He Is displaying q whole
lot more business acumen than the aver
