Much praise is today being reflected
upon athletes of Georgetown University
for their victories which won the indoor
track meet of the National Guard Ath-
letic Association, the Blue and Gray
having scored twenty points. To Bob
Eller, the peerless athlete from the
Heights, particular credit Is due for his
performance in the fifty-yard open event,
he having won that event. and for hav-
ing finished second in the fifty-yard hur-
DIS. Langdon, also of Georgetown.
won the mile race, and came in third
in the half-mile event. Brewer. the
third member of the winning George
town trio, finished second in two events,
namely, the tfty-yard and 22O-yard |
dashes. Eller was tied with Kemp, of
NJ. A. c., for the gold watch, but the
former won on the toss-up.
These three athletes are responsible
for the twenty points which won out
over Maryland Agricultural College,
which institution was runnef-up' 1T
having scored eleven points. Other
point winners were: Washington Cross
Country Club, S; Baltimore Cross Coun-
try Club, s; fremont Athletic Club l.
and Catholic University, ..
Closed Events Good.

athletes were among the most interest
ing of the evening, Company q, OF the
Second Regiment having won the great
est number of points in these games

events are: Company G, First Regl-
ment, 10; l.. 5. N, IA; Company E,

Regiment, o; Company T.: 91co Ii i,te
Every event in the meet from the DeI
ginning of the fifty.yard novice unui
the last member or the reiay c ITari
meet was a distinct success. In select,
ing the officials, Captain Edwards c0uld
not have made better choice as thGy
kept the meet moving along smoothly
from beginning to end.
Bob Eiler was barely defeated In the
hurdles by McDonough, OF the Balu-
more Cross-Country Club. Eller took
the boards at three feet instead of two
and one-half feet, he having struck the
first hurdle, which Is supposed to have
been responsible for his losing out.
