SQUAD
WILL LEAVE TOMORROW
Will Have Full Strength En-
tered in Richmond College
Track Meet.

The Georgetown track squad will leave
this city for the Richmond meet tomor-
row afternoon, and will arrive In the
Old Dominion city few hours before the
games are started. That the result of
the meet held at Richmond tomorrow
night will give an accurate idea Of the
relative strengths Of Georgetown and
Virginia seems to be the consensus of
opinion among the local critics. The
Blue and Gray and the Orange and Blue
universities will send their best men to
the Richmond games tomorrow night,
and these squads will be practically the
same as will represent the rival institu-
tons in this city March 2. From the
present outlook it seems that either
Georgetown or Virginia will land the
point trophy at the local set of games.
and If this is the case the winners of the
Virginia capital city meet should be the
favorites by good margin in the Hill
toppers' meet here next month.
1t was announced last night at the
Hilltop that Jack Martin, one Of the fast
est and most reliable runners that is
representing the Blue and Gray this sea-
son. has left the track squad Martin
End speed artists, and his withdrawal
from the local squad comes with much
surprise to the Georgetown student body,
as Martin was counted on to take an i'm
portant part in point getting for the
university over the creek In the Blue and
Gray meet that is to be held here
March 2.
