There appears little doubt that the
Georgetown meet will be the best held
in the south Atlantic section this season.
The Blue and Gray has been making
strenuous efforts for the last four months
TO get the best attractions to be secured
and 1T seems that the management has
about succeeded. The best relay races of
the year will be seen, and the individual
events will be the most closely contested
because there is in them the most ca
pable talent in the country
The relay races will embody the pick
of the smaller colleges in this section.
also the largest, and also several of the
big universities. AS is already known,
the one big attraction will he the two
mile event i'm which Princeton will meet
Yale. There will be another two-mile
race, and Pennsylvania and Cornell will
! be opponents nit Besides these two big
races, it is practically certain that two
more of the large northern institutions
will meet in a mile event.
There will be the best of the fours IN
this section in competition. Washington
and Lee and Johns Hopkins Will so
against the Carlisle Indians. Georgetown
will run one of the best quarters that
have ever represented it in a race III
which it stands at least an even chance
to win from Virginia in years. The Mary
land .Aggies will be placed against the
Catholic University at a mile. and tnere
is a possibility that st. Johns will go
against the Richmond College four THESE
are the big relay events. Besides them
there will be other events scheduled for
the smaller teams and for the clubs
which are sure to be interesting.
At least some of the individual events
will come up to the standard OF any ana

this section in other meets.
The 5O-yard invitation event which VIII

bring together the best sprinters in col
lege circles. Yale, Princeton, Pennsylva-
mia. Georgetown, Carlisle and other in
situations will have men in the event,
and one of the fastest races of the even

Also the distance events Will be well
run, at least by some of the men in them

The Aloysius Club is scheduled to meet
the Bull Moose five of the Y NJ. {. A.
this evening. The churchmen figure that
they will win from the Association re-
serves. notwithstanding the fact that
they were able to score but four points
in the game in which the two teams APP
peared last. The contest will take place
in the AlOysius gymnasium.
Jack Hurley, who has charge of the
AlOVSiu9 club in talking of his team
spoke as follows: I'VE haven't done
anything wonderful this season. because
we just aimed to get the start. Next
year when we start playing somebody
will have to go some to beat us out of
the championship. The Y. NJ. c. A. has
won the pennant this year in the league
without doubt, and We are having a
warm fight with the Collegians for sec
will finish in that position. We have lost
only one game i nour home g1ny this
season. and 1 think that We'll not drop
another.
The best opponent that Georgetown
can select for the Western High four to
run in it's meet is Episcopal The Alex
andrians have the only scholastic re-
lay in this section that is capable of
giving the Red and White close race.
Episcopal has a quartet of runners who
are very nearly as capable as those at
Western; in fact, it will be remembered
that Episcopal led Western by a small
margin unit. the last few yards of the
event in Which the two schools ran in
Baltimore.
The splendid work Of Jones and Rose
gave Western the victory. On the track
in Convention Hall. though, the Western
team will have better chance to finish
well than ii did in Baltimore. Being com
posed of small light runners who can
take the sharp tui ms with greater facility.
the Red and White should be able to get
away with a better race.
1t is probable that all the Washington
colleges will be represented in the Rich
mond College meet Georgetown will
send down it's whole team, George Wash
ington has already agreed to run against
