EL[ER AND THORPE
CLASH IN BIG MEET
Rivalry Between Two Runners
Will Be a Feature of the
Georgetown Games.

After looking over the results or the
Johns HOPKINS meet held at Baltimore
last Saturday night there cannot be the
slightest question raised in contradiction
Of the fact that the Georgetown meet
which will be held at Convention HAN
March 2, will be featured by the indl-
vidual rivalry of Bob Eller OF the Blue
and GRAY university and Jim Thorpe OF
Carlisle. These two track men are With
out doubt two of the greatest all-around
collegiate athletes in the country today,
and as the rivalry existing between the
of the Hilltop institution
and the Indian school dates from
some time back, contest of the most
thrilling nature may be expected when
the two men come together at the local
hall.
In the different meets that the Indian
and the West Ender have taken part In
this season they have about broken even
in the number of points that have been
Tailed up to their individual records.
In the Boston Athletic ASSOCIATION
games that were held in the Hub this
month the redskin runner succeeded In
Nesting Eller in nearly all the events
that the two men were entered in, but
in the Hopkins games last Saturday night
Georgetown's representative succeeded in
gaining revenge for the defeat that he
suffered in Boston at the hands of the
red man by cleaning up nearly every
omen event of the evening and making
enough Individual points to win the meet
for Georgetown.

WORKING IN TANK.
Yale 0arsmen Going Back to Old
Training Method.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, February 49,
Yale oarsmen are now at work in the
new tank in the gymnasium, in the place
where the old swimming pool was To-
Gated. Some seventeen years ago Yale
first adopted the stationary boat and
moving water plan of preliminary train
ing for oarsmen. Robert J. Cook, the ia
nous Yale oarsman and coach, laid the
foundations for many OF his winning
crews in these old tanks. The tanks were
where the squash courts now are. and
they were a valuable part of Yale's row.

ago. when they gradually fell into d1suse
because Yale's professional coach, John
Kennedy, thought better results could be
obtained on rowing machines. In the last
three or four years Of Mr.. kennedy s
coaching he entirely abandoned the tank
system.

ayers failed to reach agreement in regard
to date and place of the game. Man.
ager Hughes is considering adding sew
eral dates to the present schedule. but
declines to say positively what colleges
or universities he is negotiating with.
1t will be noticed that Gallaudet has no
dates during Easter week 1t has
been troublesome thing for the cap
tain of Gallaudet team to keep together
his men and the managers of that team
to arrange games during such holiday
weeks as Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Easter and others, until the stage is
reached where it is deemed best for all
concerned at Gallaudet not to have any
dates during the coming Easter. Last
Easter Gallaudet kept her nine on the field
during the Easter vacation, and the ar
rangement turned out more or less salts
factorlly, so Manager Hughes decided on
nothing doing for this coming Easter.

FOOTWORK VALUABLE.
Is the Best Asset to q First Class
Boxer.

NEW YORK, February 19.-Of what
value Is footwork in boxing? This ques-
ton is continually cropping up, and pro-
vides an interesting topic. In these days
of rough inflghting and cyclonic smuggling,
which a large percentage Of professional
boxers employ, swiftness Of foot in both
attack and defense is lost sight Of. yet 1t
is one Of the biggest factors in making
ring champions. A boxer who is so light
on his feet that he can be constantly on
the move is not easy to hit. Darling in
with dazzling speed. it Is possible to land
clean cut blows with such unexpected
skill that an opponent has no time to
block or counter, as his assailant. aft r.
landing, skips away. The employment
of these tactics means the scoring of
points upon which a referees decision
must be based unless there's knockout.

Larry Martin. the former Virginia hur-

est relay four that has represented Rich
mond College in the history of the school.
There have never been four men placed
on any track by the school who have
been trained as we'll nor who have been
able to negotiate the mile in anything
like as fast time as can the bunch that
has been developed by the former Vir-
g1nia man.
Landon, a former Central High School
boy. displayed unlooked-for ability in the
events in which he ran in the Hopkins
meet. Starting in the half-mile race ne
went to the front and was never passed
at any stage of the contest. And again
in the relay race he passed his man and
gave his teammate who followed MIN an
eight-yard lead.
The former Central High boy made
good for Georgetown in manner Which
admits Of no doubt as to his ability. and
in the Georgetown meet he should run
even better than he did at Hopkins.

that there must be competition to develop
the best that is in the men IN the various
schools. Dr.. Hudson is making an at

many more men will be able to get the
benefit Of competitive athletic contests.
DIR. Hudson figures If he can Stir

panfes by playing few contests this
year that when next fall comes ne can
form an intercompany league which VIII
bring many times the number OF men into
athletics as are now engaged.
The fremont Athletic Club completely
outclassed Western High in the relay race
between the two teams. And IN TINS con-
nection an incident which took place In
regard to the handicap that Western re-
ceived might be mentioned. The fremont
club agreed to give Western thirty-nVe
wards and at that the captain OF the ciuD
was told that 1t would not be near!
enough to make the race close, and ne
was also told that the Western man
would be caught before the third relay.
Here is where the official Handicapped
came in. He stated that thirty yards
would be enough. and that that would
likely be too much. The Handicapped re-
fused to allow the high school lads any
more distance. and the result was there
was not chance for Western to win. 1t Is
reasonable to suppose that a boy ought
to have more than seven and a half yards
on q man in q quarter-mile race, and had
the race been an individual one, in which
members Of both teams were entered,
the chances are that each of the high
school boys would have received
twelve or fifteen yards handicap. as all
Of them were green men, but when they
ran as teams the distance had to be
lessened for some reason.
