Gallaudet is the only school from the
District that will be represented In the
track meet to be held at St Johns Col
lege this morning. None of the high
schools will send squads, while the other
colleges find it impossible to have their
teams leave school at this time because
of the time necessary to be put in on
the final examinations.
The Maryland Aggies had intended 60
ing to Annapolis to compete. hut it was
found only this week that to finish their
work several of the best men on the
squad would be compelled to stay at
home. With the men off who would not
have been able to take part. the team
would hardly make a creditable showing,
so it was decided not to go at all.
Gallaudet will have a team of four or
five men in competition which may or may
not be able to accomplish something, &C
cording to whether or not 1t has kept
in training since the relay carnival at
the University of Pennsylvania.
The high schools received invitations to
go to the meet but did not accept for
one reas son or another. Both Western and
Central held meets OF their own during
the past week, and neither felt that their
men would be In condition to face siren
uous competition.
The Naval Academy will play the Army
this afternoon and one of the best games
that has been seen on. the Sailors dia-
mOnd this year should be the result The
West Point nine is probably no better
than is the Annapolis aggregation. but
1t would seem that an advantage lies
with it because OF the ability of one OF
its pitchers. That Hyatt is one Of the
best college twirlers in the country is
shown by the fact that he has been Of
fered jobs on many Of the major league
clubs. and it has been consistently ru-
mored that he will join Detroit imme-
diately after the close of school.
A Washington boy will play in the
game. Adams. former Western High
and Army and Navy Prep School lad,
will be seen at shortstop Tor the Navy,
which position he has played all season
in very creditabe manner.
will leave Washington this afternoon to
attend the game. Both the Secretary
Of War and Secretary of the Navy are
expected to witness the contest
The two teams will line up as follows:

right field: Whiteside. third base: Har-
rison. left field: Merillat, shortstop: Cook,

The result Of the trials in the intercol-
legiates at Franklin Field yesterday show
that Cornell and Pennsylvania have the
best chances to win, with the odds in
favor of the former. Experts have picked
Pennsylvania to win because of a more
evenly balanced team but the fact that
Cornell has three first places and a
possible fourth granted it is enough
to warrant the prediction that 1t will
be the final winner. While Pennsylvania
has several men who are liable to come
through with wins, there is only one
event in which 1t is fairly certain to win,
the 22O-yard dash. although its chances
are mighty good for the broad Jump

with about an even chance for fourth.
points. not counting the odd points that
are likely to be picked up in the other
events. Jones will most likely get the
mile and half-mile. while Berna is sure
to win the two-mile event II Fritz is
lucky enough to get first in the pole vault.
then 1t Is practically assured that Moa<-
ley's crew will carry the honor back to
Ithaca for another year. Putnam will
score points in the half-mile, it being
probable that he will run second to Jones,
and there is every likelihood that Cozzens
will finish second in the quarter, provided
he gets a fair start, as he ran a close sec

in the fastest heat of the day.
The Maryland Aggies will play Wash
ington College this afternoon at College
Park. The Farmers have chance to end
their season in a successful way after a
poor beginning. victory over ST. John S
Washington College and Western Mary
land in the last three games played would
not be poor way to end the year by any
means.
