Louis Connor. the former Pennsylvania
and Wesleyan runner. viii coach the
y. NJ. c. A. track team for the coming
meets. The announcement to that effect
was made yesterday.
Connor was one of the most talented
runners ever developed in the Washing
ton high schools. He began his career
on the track at the Contra. High School.
and while there did some very creditable
work. After leaving Central he went to
the University of Pennsylvania, where, as
a freshman, he gave promise OF becoming
one of the best middle-distance runners
IN the country. He left Penn, though.
after his freshman year and went to
Wesleyan. While there he was a men,
Der or the relay team and ran the
44O and $50 in the individual events.
Common has not done a great deal Of rum
ming since leaving college. although while
taxing post-graduate course at Cornell
he was used by Jack Moakley as a pace
maker for Tell Berna and John Paul Jones
1T might be mentioned in this connection
that Moakley always lamented the fact
that Common did not enter Cornell in time
TO be eligible to run on it's teams.
While he will be with the Y. NJ c. A.
men not more than three evenings each
week, Connor should be able to render
lot Of aid. Having been under capable
edge of the manner in which men should
be trained
The Catholic University five Won an
other game last night. 1t beat the Gal
laudet qunt in an easy fashion, and had
1t not been for the fact that the men
We're decidedly off in their goal shooting
the score would probably have been
larger. Many times the Brooklanders had
the ball down under the basket, but could
not make the toss accurate enough to get
it through the net. Koran was the only
man on the c. L. quint who seemed to be
in his right form in caging the ball. He
threw ten goals. Rockwell did the best
work in cagfng the leather for the Ken
dali Green lads. throwing the ball into
the basket on five occasions.
The Aloysius club lost another game
The clubmen dropped a contest to the
National Guards by the margin OF four
points. Their playing was not up to the
standard shown in some Of their previous
games. Hurley, Mccarthy and Hutton
clubs. Hurley did some excellent work
on the defense. while Mccarthy tossed
three goals for the Churchmen, and Hut
ton made five for the Guards.
The grea twork of w. Whiting gave the
| Washington polo team victory last nigh,
over the five from Atlantic City. Not only
did he play a brilliant defensive game,
but his offensive play was the best ever
seen in this city. He scored all three of
the goals registered in favor of his
team, and bore the brunt of the play
from start to finish. hitting gave an eX-
hibitiOn of skating that is not seen every
day. That he was able to tally three times
against an aggregation rated as high as
that from Atlantic City shows just how
clever was his work.
1t was not expected that the local men
would be able to win from the Atlantic
City team, despite the statements Of the
manager that they were as strong as
the majority Of the fast northern teams.
The Jersey men came here rated as be-
ing one of the very best organizations
playing the game, and that they lost
seems to be evidence that Washington is
represented by an exceptional team-one
better than any other in this section OF
the country, at least.
Georgetown is scheduled to meet the
Trinity College quint tomorrow night
The Blue and Gray men are in good
shape and are banking on winning.
After playing Georgetown tomorrow
the Trinity team will lay over here until
Saturday night, when it will meet the
Catholic University Quint.
Georgetown will be better fortified in
the field events this season than in a
long while. Weidman can do better than
IL feet 6. that is certain las he has gone
that high in prep school meets. and Low
is 4 jumper who can go around 5 feet IL
and feet. Eller is fairly good shot
putter. With these three men going at
their best 1t should be easy enough for
the hilltoppers to capture the majority OF
the points in the field events against the
best talent in this SectiOn--that is. of
course, if the handicaps are not such as
to eliminate the chances of the individ-
uals mentioned. The handicapping in this
section has not been regular. to say the
least, and there is little telling just how
much a man may expect to have placed
against him before the events are even
started.
News comes from Charlottesville to the
effect that Walker. who played in the
