The South Atlantic championship cross
Baltimore. It is probable there will be a
larger representation in the race than has
been the case in a long while.
There are four organizations which
have entered several men each. They are
Johns Hopkins University. Georgetown
University. Baltimore City College and
the Baltimore Cross Country Club. It is
likely that the result Of the race will
hinge upon the work of the men wearing
the colors Of the first two and last men
toned institutions. While the city COL
lege has seven men entered in the race.
them will be able to accomplish much
against their older opponents.
AS far as the individual chances are
concerned there Is every probability that
Georgetown will finish in the lead. There
is no reason why the hilltoppers should
not win the event. because they have en-
tered one of the most capable squads
which have ever represented them In any
affair of the kind. If the Georgetown
men do not win it will be quite a surprise
The status Of the individuals would tend
to give the opinion that Gallagher, the
former Olympic and Yale runner now
competing under the colors of George
town. should win. There are a number
or men who may run second and 1t would
be difficult to select one. although Elphin-
stone of the Baltimore Cross Country
Club. provided he is in the best of con-
dition, should finish we'll up. Landon
and Battles of Georgetown, Lee and Rec
side of Johns Hopkins. and Elphinstone
should not finish far apart. and any of
them may be second or third. with the
bare possibility remaining open that one
may show unexpected form and win. Ian
don especially has shown form at times
whrch would stamp him as capable of
running well In a distance event with the
proper development.
The race should be one of the best and
most closely Coz tested Of all that have
entered in 1t than in a long while.
