once conducted the affairs Of the circuit
last year. 1t will be making very un-
wise move. The great popularity Of the
circuit last year was, undoubtedly. due In
a great measure to the excellent work OF
Mr.. Roakes, its president, and 1t is only
TO be thought that the men who aided
him In plotting the league through its
most successful year. by far. also ac-
complished their parts exceptionally we'll
Lake Forrest. Beloit. Monmouth, Ar
mour and Knox colleges compose the
smaller intercollegiate association in the
middle west that has declared in favor
of summer base ball for their students
The main argument which induced the
authorities Of the five institutions to take
the step they did was that the men play
anyway. and are disposed to lie about it
In order that their actions may be con-
cealed when they are brought before the
various athletic boards when protests are
registered against them. Rather than
nave condition of affairs prevalent that
| tended to produce deception, 1t was the
general conclusion of those directing the
affairs of the mentioned schools that 1t
would be better to allow the game openly
1t should not be considered. either. that
the five mentioned colleges are small ones
and have no influence in the colle&iate
| world, especially in that section Each
OF the mentioned institutions is larger
than the foremost Of the colleges in this
section, ranging from 500 to 1000 stu
dents.
At that, the game Georgetown put up
against West Point in basket ball yes
terday was not anything to the discredit
| OF the Blue and Gray. 1t is not to be
| supposed that an inexperienced FIVE like
that which represents the Hilltoppers this
| year should go up against a veteran
combination of players and win or do
more than make good showing. Coach
| Collifower has had as material from
! which to build q team to go against men
VINO nave spent years in the game
youngsters who have had liNle more
than prep school experience OF course,
| Schlosser and Collidower have had ex-
perience. but the fact that two men know
! the game thoroughly is not enough to
Offset what five men know when the
team faces a five from one of the big
| schools. There are others on the Blue
/ and Gray squad who have shown much
individual ability, bat it is more the Kind
1 that give promise of future DEVELOPMENT
than that which comes from an almost
absolute knowledge Of the game
! A meeting OF the fremont Club will be
/ held this afternoon for the purpose of
getting the runners in line for the trials
| which are to be held for the relay teams
on the T. NJ c. A track this week.
| The mile relay scheduled for the George
! Washington meet between Virginia and
/ Washington and Lee will probably prove
| a win for the former. Washington and
| Lee has never produced anything in the
| way Of relay fours to compare with those
turned out at the Charlottesville insti-
1 tuition, and IL ts not probable that this
year will be an exception.
/ There should be a good attraction ot
college relay races when the Hatchetites
hold their meet, though. It. will be re-
| membered that last year. while few OF
! the larger institutions were in competi.
ton. the races that were held were well
| run and the finishes close. With the
Indians and Swarthmore virginia and
Washington and Lee George washington
and RtchmoQd and the Maryland Aggies
and st. JOHNS. besides the scholastic
races. the Hatchetites should furnish the
| patrons OF the game with some good
sport.
The wrestling tournament. held annually
by the National Guard. will take place
tnis year February % and March l. The
elimination bouts are scheduled for Thurs.
day evening and the finals for Friday
The National Guard meet has generally
proved to be almost as well contested
as tne south Atlantic championships
The meet generally develops several new
men for the section championships, and
the winners in the various bouts at the
Guard meet are generally the ones to ge,
away with the events In their classes IN
the championships.
The meet Is to be q purely local one
as the entries have been limited to Wash.
ington. The events will be managed and
conducted Jointly by Capt c. E. Edwards
and Frank Lockhead The bnntan
feather. light. weller, middle and heavy
weight classes will be contested.
The track meet to be held this year n
the National Guard armory. win probably
be a joint affair. with the Washington
Cross Country Club as the other organi.
cation.
