EDDIE HORTER NOT
TO APPEAR TONIGHT
IN PHILLY GAMES
Crack Quarter-MiIer Prefers to
Be in Shape for TomorroW's
Trials for Relay Four.

Eddie Horter, the star quarter miller
OF the Blue and Gray track aggregation.
win not enter the big games which are
to be held in Philadelphia this evening.
according to the statement made by
Coach Mulligan yesterday. Horter's
home is in the Quaker City and he was
anxious to participate in tonight's meet,
but as he is booked to try out for the
relay team tomorrow, the Hilltop track
tutor decided that he would be better
able to show his form in the trials were
he to keep out of the Philadelphia
games, consequently the edict which will
cause the former scholastic star to re-
main in Washington this evening. Hor-
ter Is almost certain to make the relay
four as in recent practices he has shown
Jor1ty Of the men who intend trying for
the quartet tomorrow morning.
Newt Brewer. the local boy, who
was one Of the mainstays of last years
track team, has been showing a great
deal of the form which made him such
valuable man in 1872 and Coach Null
ligan is confident that he will accumu-
late many points during the approach
ing season. Brewer will undoubtedly
specialize in the 440-yard run, as it was
In this event that he exhibited his best
form Of Capt. Bill Carrigan's troupe of
South Atlantic champions last winter.
Pollard. who ran for the Central
High School team of this city a year
or two ago, Is taking daily workouts
as well for the West Enders as he did
while wearing the Blue and White of
the street institution. Although Pol
laiu Is apt to be outclassed by some
OF his crack teammates, the former
Centralite is likely TO win his letter
by coping third place in a couple Of
events. He starts well and there is
no reason for believing that he will
not be able to capably represent the
Hilltop squad.
Frank Ryan. who last year played
right field on the baseball nine, Cx-
poets TO start gymnasium work On
Monday, in order to get in condition
for the diamond campaign. Ryan is
one of the best gardeners that ever
cavorted in the Hilltop pastures and
II he is only able TO improve in his
stick work a little, is certain to be one
OF the most valuable men on Coach
Harley's band of ball tosscrs. Ryan
is a little overweight at present but
should experience no difficulty in get
ting in a condition with a little gym
work.
Mahoney. a i4o-yard man who ran
under the colors of the Washington
Athletic Association last winter. re-
ported TO Coach Mulligan yesterday
and appears TO be in first-class trim.
With Mahoney in the fold. the Hilltop
squad now boasts of four former w.
A. A. men. In Mahoney and Young.
quarter-milers, and Weidman and
Robertson the two crack pole vault
prs. Mahoney will in all probability
try out for the relay team tomorrow
and It would not be surprising to see
which is to meet Fordham and Holy
Cross on Jan. 25.
Chet Crawford, the Arizona speed
merchant, has decided to enter the re-
Law trials tomorrow. even though he
has been practicing in nothing but the
dashes. While running for California
school Crawford made quite an enviable
reputation for himself in the 40 yards.
and Is confident that he will be able to
give account of himself on the morrow.
Crawford has been troubled with a had
foot lately. but as that member has
healed he should be able TO show his
best form.
Ed Barrett, the manager Of next
years Georgetown eleven. has been
showing a lot OF class In the dashes Of
late, and II would not be surprising to
see him break into the scoring In the
short events during the season. While
at a Loyola prep school of New York
CITY the gridiron executive won many
sprint events, and consequently Coach
Mulligan is hopeful that he will be able
TO regain his old-time form and assist
this winter in swelling the total OF
Blue and Gray points. &C.,.
