The last Of the indoor athletic events
will take place this week There may be
one or two contests played later in basket
ball and polo. but the schedules in almost
every organization which fosters indoor
sports viii be ended within the next two
or three days.
Georgetown will end its basket ball
season tonight. The Blue and Gray will
meet the Bucknell five in the last contest
in which it will be seen this year. The
Hilltoppers hope to end their schedule
with victory. thinking thereby to atone
for the defeat suffered last season in the
closing game at the hands of the same
school.
The Y. NJ. c. A. basket BALI team will fig
ure in its last regular league contest when
1t meets the Georgetown collegians in the
association gymnasium. In the class b
league the Roseda!e and Rebel CUNTS will
also play their last contest. although
there is possibility that tie-up will
occur, necessitating a new series.
The last indoor track events of the
year will take place tomorrow night,
when the National Guard holds Its an
nual events The preliminaries of sew
eral of the races were held last night,
and the finals will be pulled of tomor-
row with the other features.

teams would be the last.
It is probable that there has not been

of the big universities; Catholic Cniver-
sity has jumped into prominence in
basket ball as q contender for the South
Atlantic championship for the first time
in its history: Georgetown has turned
out one of the greatest track teams tina,
have ever represented 1t, and the Mary
land AgEies and Gallaudet, have done
some very noteworthy things. Basket
ball has progressed among the clubs to a
greater extent than in any recent season

ably. One new sport has attained fair
measure Of prominence-polo. 1t has been
taken up for the first time. and has beer
greeted with quite q little success.
Georgetown will send the same line-ur
has used in the last few contests. but
there Is not the likelihood that 1t will be
able to make the showing 1t did in the
Princeton game. The men are not In af
good condition by a great deal. owing to
the fact that they have not been able to
practice during the last few days. Elk
aminations have been going on, and tht
players have found themselves pretty
well taken UP with their work in the
classroom.
Just what kind OF team will be pre-
scented by Bucknell Is not known, but it il
likely that it will be represented by a
fast, husky bunch OF men, as 1t was last
year. The Pennsylvanians played q bril-
liant passing game last spring when they
met Georgetown, and it Is said Of them
that they are even more capable than
then.
The preliminary events for the Ma
tiOnal Guards meet were held last night,
and they give promise OF rather an in
teresting performance In the finals. OF
course, there will not be any wonderful
amount OF class in the individual open
events. but the main amount Of interest
in that meet, after all, centers in the
races and special events in which only
the guards are allowed to compete.
