GETTING IN SHAPE

Coach Weber of the Catholic Univer-
sity track squad has made arrangements
for the second annual field day, which
Is to be held next Tuesday at = O'Clock
at University Field. The rector has con-
sented to give the boys holiday on ac-
count of the games, and the affair prom
ises to be a banner occasion. Fully 200
students have signified their intention of
entering the games. Last year the first
field day was held at the university. and
the students took such an interest In
the games that Coach Weber decided to
hold them again this year. and the at
fair promises to be even more OF sue
cess this year. Coach Weber deserves a
world of credit for the carrying through
of such an undertaking single-handed
The first one last year was under his
direction, and it went off without hitch.
The following events will be open to all
students of the university: Fifty and 100
yard dashes, :I,20, 40 and so, two mile.
1O0-yard high and low hurdles. broad
jump. shotput, high jump and relay
races between sthe classes. There VIII
also be a base ball throwing contest for
distance.
The vice rector of the university has
donated three handsome medals. which
will be given to the three men winning
the greatest number of points. For the
class scoring the greatest number OF
points, a handsome plaque has been Sc
cured. The first and second man IN each
event will receive silver and bronze
medals, respectively.
The students have been training for
the events for nearly two weeks and are
getting in fair condition and some good
events should be pulled off. Coach
Weber has not as yet appointed the of
ficials, but it is understood that he Will
select them from the faculty of the uni
versity who We're former athletes.
The varsity relay team which Is to GO
to Philadelphia and take part In the
University of Pennsylvania carnival
April % has been selected. Two trials
have been held this week and the mer
who have shown the best form are
Weber, Field, Hyde. Horn and Daley
The men have been faithfully training
for over a month and are now in the
best physical condition. In the trials
of day before yesterday Field and Horn
made the best time in the 40 that they
have made this year. Field will probabl.
be the lead-off man and should give q
good account of himself. He has not beer
headed this year. In every indoor meet
in which the relay ran he MANAGED tt
beat his man across the tape. Hyde vii
more than likely run fourth
The selection of fifth man was a task
for Coach Weber. The choice was be-
tween Capt McManus and Daley. Dali
ley's time was a fifth of second better
than Capt. McManus This is the frs
time Capt. McManus has been beaten ou
for the team, and this is probably due
to sick spell which he had recently
Hyde has also been under the weather
and did not make the time he is capable
of, but he will be in the best of shape ir
week or SO.
/ The team is to be pitted against Wash
ington and Lee. Dickinson. Lehigh, Wash
ington and Jefferson, Bucknell. Colby
Villanova and Massachusetts Agricultural
College. The Brooklanders have a gooC
team, and although against relays OF
higher standing and composed of much
more experienced and older men the stu
dent body is looking for a great showing
to be made.
