TRACK Men WILL
Be GIVEN REST
Before Going Into Their Hard
Training for the Out
door Season.
G. U. HAS BEST TEAM
IT HAS EVER HAD
Squad Now Representing the
Blue and Gray Is Very
Well Rounded.
By II. c. BYRD.


The members of the track teams of the
several local colleges and schools will be
given a rest for the next two weeks In
order that they may have some brief res
pite from hard training before the be-
ginning Of active work In preparation for
the outdoor season. The weather for the
next two weeks does not promise any
thing extraordinarily favorable for out
door track work, and then it is probable
that the men will benefit by the rest and
will be in better shape to make the kind
OF showing desired, by reason Of it, when
the training on the cinder paths is begun.
Some Of the high school men who have
never been registered in the Amateur
Athletic Union will probably take part i'm
the National Guards games this week.
but it is not likely that any Of the college
men will risk expulsion by competing.
The meet to be held by the soldiers Is not
under the sanction Of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union, and the rules Of the govern
gard to those who compete in events that
are not sanctioned.

the Blue and Gray has made little at

does It have two or three stars In the
running events, but there are men able
to hold up their own in every depart

It is said that Georgetown has the best
material for the catcher's position this
season that it has ever had. The Blue

out who are reputed to be very capable

At that. though, the chances are that
Ed Mullaney will do the bulk Of the work
behind the bat. The big fellow IL an ex-
lceptionally good man. and probably has

OF the men who will attempt to beat him
out.
Mullaney has had much experience in
playing on independent teams and last
season managed club which won a
series from a professional league nine.
Mullaney looks to be the one best bet
:: for the backstop's position. despite the
class of the other men who will be out
for the place.
