this evening i'm the track and field games
to be held by Richmond College. Four Of
the five local colleges will be represented,
and one prep school VIII have its relay
four entered.
Georgetown is sending it's squad to the
Virginia capital with the sole idea of win
ming the meet. and there is little reason to
think that it will do other than accom-
plish just that. The Blue and Gray men
stand a-better chance to get away with
the most points in the Richmond meet
than in any other, in reality. because all
the events are scratch. In the other
games in which the squad has figured
this season the races have been handicap
affairs. For that reason the Blue and
Gray men have been compelled to start
behind a big field and had much difficulty
in picking their way through. Tonight
they will have just as good chance at
the start as will any of the others in the
events IN which they are entered.
Besides the individual events In which
the men from Georgetown will run. the
relay four will go against Washington
and Lee in mile race. The Lexington
team is banking on showing as well as
Georgetown, according to report, but IL
will be up against the best quartet in
the south. and there is not much room to
think other than that the Washington
school will get the victory Washington

cfded as to what team it will be matched
against, although it is barely possible
that it will be put in against the Mary

tered. Catholic University will be rep
been learned as yet what teams have
been matched against these schools, but
it is probable that Richmond College will
run against one of them and the other
two will be placed in a race.
The Georgetown Props relay four has
been entered to run against two Of the
Virginia prep schools, and it is prob
able that they will get away with their
event. The Washington Athletic Asso-
citation has its team on the schedule. and
It is probable that it will be pitted
against the Richmond Light Infantry
