Johns Hopkins is figuring on running
one relay race in it's meet in which it is
mighty apt to receive a big disappoint-
ment. 1t has scheduled a mile relay be-
tween Georgetown and George Washing
ton, ana there is not one chance in a
hundred that those two institutions will
meet. There is a possibility that the
race mas been agreed to by both the
schools which are scheduled to appear in
IL. out the chances are that Georgetown
has absolutely no intention of going
against the Hatchettes in any branch of
sport. In the fall of 1907 when a near
riot took place at the annual foot ball
game Thanksgiving day. athletic rela-
tons We're severed by Georgetown and
the breach has never been patched up.
1T is not probable that old sores will be
healed now with relay race.
There are three meets to be held in
TINS section within the next three weeks,
and each is scheduling a race which it
calls south Atlantic championship

an event at mile between itself and
the University of Virginia; George Wash

Georgetown will go against Virginia in
what it claims will be the deciding race
i In each of these three meets races are

ginia race may decide the relay title. but
