mt gymnasium with the Cathedral
five from the Business High School.
Tlt appears that the era of poor
teams at the Orange and Blue i'll
stitution is over, as the basket toss
ing aggregation, from all reports,
is fast, and is one which will fight
all the time.
Should Business be able to get away
with the long end of the game this after
noon, 1t will take some tall hustIinE to
beat the Stenographers out for the bunt-
| ing. as a victory at the start of the sea
son works wonders with any schoOlboy
| outfit.
| Seventeen men are entered in the
| South Atlantic championship race in Bal
timore Saturday. and Georgetown, with
seven men entered. should have little
trouble winning the team trophy. Such
men as Gallagher, Battles. Donnelly,
! ROwley, Law. Cook, and Landon make a
| formidable bunch. and the Baltimore
/ speeders should not prove troublesome.
Entries close at noon to-day with the
chairman and positively none will be re-
/ ceived after that hour.

Manager Carpenter. or the AlI-Army
| eleven which tackles the VigiIants Sun
| day at Union League Park. will have
one OF the best coached service teams
in the country on the field against the
Independent champions. The Fort Nyer
| aggregation has been drilled by three
former West Pointers, men who have
won their A. on the Army elevens.
and It has been stated by men who have
seem the soldiers in action that the

As another large crowd is expected

quests every man to report on time
Prior to the big game. the Nationals
will hook up with the Spartans for the
1O-pound championship OF the District.
This game will start promptly at $50
with Hip Dugan as the referee.
Organization of the Y NJ c. A. track
team will be perfected this evening at
a meeting to be held in the Y. NJ c. A.
physical directors ONCE.
Aside from the election of officers, the
principal business will consist of a de-
termination Of the athletic policy of the
new organization. Since the withdrawal
of the Y. NJ. c. 4. in common with all
other noncollegiate athletic bodies in
this city, except one, from the Amateur
Athletic Union. two courses remain open
to the Y. NJ. c. A. athletes. They NAV
either compete team for team, with the
local insurgents. or else they can enroll
as individuals in the a. A. L. In the
former event the I. NJ. c. A. remains
purely local body, while the other al
tentative virtually compels the Y. NJ
c. A. boys to seek practically all
their competitors from outside of the
city. This arises from the fact that the
A. A U. will not allow its members to
compete with unregistered athletes or
athletic bodies without special permits
sion: and. of course. it is taken for
granted that this permission would not
be granted to members who desire to
compete with clubs which have with
drawn from the athletic trust"
Twas intimated yesterday, however,
that the war against the A. A. U. is
to be taken into nelghboring cities. The
revolt against the A. A. U. is successful
already in about twenty athletic CEN
tiers throughout the country. and predic-
tons are freely made by local athletes
that the body, as constituted in its pres
ent form, is bound to crumble.
2 The nucleus of the Y. NJ. c. A. track
team has been developed by means of
the weekly gymnasium contests, the first
series of which come to an end next
Wednesday. Linden. Lassley, w. John
son, and Hunter will probably go on
the relay team. In addition, Lassley
will probably take the mid-distance rum
ming, and Linden, w johnson, and Hun
ter the sprints, while Powell and Crab
