FAST ON TRACK
Relay Team to Be Picked This
Week to Go to Boston
February 10.

With the time for the big athletic meets
of the year gradually drawing near. the
Georgetown University track squad is
rounding in to fine shape. and will turn out
men on the track this season that Will
make the best collegiate runners in the
country hustle to breast the tape ahead
of them. The West End coaches cut the
squad Of men that have been trying out
for the relay four down to eight men
Campazzi, Chapman, Eller, Jack Martin.
Capt. Carrigan, Inky Davis. Mulligan and
Foley 1t will be very difficult matter
to pick the team from the above-men-
toned men, as they are all in fine condi-
ton and are able to run q quarter In ex-
cellent time. Bob Eller is practically sure
of a place on the four. as it is doubtful
II there is a man in the south that can
compare with the New Yorker in either
quarter mile. Jack Martin. who has oc-
cupied berth on the Hilltop relay for
the past three seasons. looks like very
strong contender for the outfit over the
creek, as he is running his distance in
good time and already seems to have
neared fine point in his training. The
remaining two positions will be fought
out by the six other candidates. and 1t is
certain that the choice of the Blue and
Gray track executive for these positions
will be made on a very close margin
Some time during the latter end OF the
week trials will be held to decide the men
that are going to run against Holy cross
in the Boston meet the 10th of next
month. These trials. together with the
judgments Of the hilltop coaches. will
practically decide the relay team that will
represent Georgetown during the entire
coming season. The trial races will be
held on the hilltop track and will be run
off in two heats. The order that the men
will run on the team will also be largely
decided by the show made in the trials
this week.
Hugh Golden, a freshman in the arts
department Of the Blue and Gray uni
versity. as an ex-prep track star is CIV
ing great promise of being one of the
best hurdlers that the West Enders have
ever turned out. Golden has already far
surpassed the expectations of the hilltop
track executives in both his form in top
ping the fences and the fast time that he
gets over the ground. Hugh will make
his first appearance in the intercollegiate
track world at the Johns Hopkins meet
which will be held at Baltimore next
month. and it is commonly predicted that
mate. Bob Eller, who runs second to his
brother. who holds the record for the
seventy five-yard low hurdles, go the
limit to finish in the lead.
The local university's track team will
be weakened to some extent by the loss
OF John Mathison, a fast Quarter-miler
and a candidate for the hilltop relay team
this season. who will leave Georgetown to
return to his home in Wheeling, w. Va.
to take up business career. Mathison
will never again don toys for q university
in the country and his absence will be
felt by the Georgetown squad.
Harry Costello, the West Enders' star
halfback Of the foot ball team and q
member of this years track squad, will
also be absent from the West End track
for the next month. and possibly the en-
tire season. as he was operated on this
morning for a growth In his throat. The
operation that was performed on Costello
this morning will in all probability bet
ter the Blue and Gray halfback's foot
ball playing. as the removal Of the growth
from his nose will greatly aid his wind.
