TRIPS At HILLTOP
Georgetown to Take Up Nomina-
tions of Track Men for
Games Next Week.
BASEBALL TRIP is DOUBTFUL
Blue and Gray Nine May Not Go
North for Games at Hartford
and New Haven.
By BRYAN MORSE.

That Georgetown Univei s.ty has some
doubt as to sending the baseball team
on Northern trips, and that the pro-
posed sending of the track team as a
whole to the Penn relay carnival and
the annual intercollegiate field and track
games at Cambridge is held in abey-
ance, was today admitted by Father
kilroy, faculty director of athletes at
the Hilltop.
I'VE will come to some decision as to
the baseball team toward The end of the
week. said Father Kilroy this MORN
ing. AT this time u is not possible to
de eArmine whether or not the trip North
win be taken. Georgetown Will. how
ever, meet the University of Virginia.
las to the track team as whole,
continued Father kilroy, tine matter
rests with Manager Eugene Darr, of the
track team. Ii is not improbable that
We will send one or Two men TO the
intercoliegiates.
For some time past ii has been known
that the showing of the baseball team
has not been satisfactory and that the
season has not been of the best. Start
ing of with a loss, the team mas been
able to win but three of its games.
Yesterdays tie with Harvard was some
balm to the followers of the team, and
IL was rHmored days ago thai the play
ers would not be allowed to take the
trip to New Haven and to Hartford.
Made Track Dates.
Earlier IN the year the track men
made dates with several teams for dual
meets, and the program for the track
men was the most pretentious ever got
ten together for the Hilltop runners.
Earlier still the track men were slated
to take in several big meets. but can

learned that fnnds were not forthcom-
ing.
Even though many Of the winter trips
were side-stepped, the track men were
scheduled to appear in all the outdoor
meets, with the result that cancellations
were again IN order.
Following this, ii is reported, upon
good foundation, that the baseball team
viii be unable 10 get North for its an
nual trip, which will leave the Blue and
Gray team with & few games including
the three annual contests with Virginia.
Other games are with V. p. 1. and North

IL is understood that the Blue ami
Cray finds its track men ineligible TO
participate in the intercollegiate on ac-
ceunt OF the residence rule. This would
throw Out Weidman, Low. Terwilliger,
Horter. Gallagher. and Strbbins, and
would leave but Brewer and F.ller to be
the orly men capable of standing any
show to win any events.
One of the most prominent of the
Georgetown alumni members is quoted
as saying that, in his opinion. the uni
sersity was II akinG big mistake in
scheduling engagements and being
forced TO call them off at the last min
ute. and that no good could come of the
Practice pursued.
Followers of Hilltop athletics are
anxiorsly awaiting the decision as to
/, sending the team North, and are more
or less disappointed in the failure of the
track men 20 pe allowed TO go TO the
Intercollegiate.
