The interclaSS track meet to be held at
Georgetown this afternoon should give
a good line on the material from which
the team to be entered in the several
meets Will have to he selected. The meet,
while there will not be any great number
of entries in each event, VIII show to a
nicely the comparative ability of the sew
eral men, and will. perhaps. develop some
Very creditabIe competition.
= The men have been entered in the va
'rlouS events as representatives of their
classes in order that the spirit OF compe-
gtition might be increased. 1t was not
desired that they should run against each
other as might be done in practice, but
that there should be some real rivalry.
This will bring out the quality of the
men in real running to a greater extent
than in any other manner.
There is class enough in some of the
events to insure interesting contests. Some
of the entrants are among the most capa-
BILE in this section, and they are pitted
against others who are not far behind
them in ability Take for instance the
following men who are among those en-
tered in the 100 yards dash: Blackstone
Filler. Costello, Brewer. Rawlings. Nc
Grath, Mahoney. Stebbins. Horter. Golden
and Childs. 1t VIII be seen that all these
men are fast and able to show we'll in
shigh-class competition The other dash
and hurdle events show about the same
entries
: The quarter-mile should be an excep-
tionally well run race. The talent en-
tered in it is probably the best collection
of 40 men who have been at Georgetown
in years. Every man who will take part
in the race has had experience and is
the possessOr of no little reputation.
Here are the names of those who will
compete in that event: Battles. Gal
lasher. Van Dyne. Hamilton. Horter.
Terwilliger. Stebbins. LAWYER. Crawford.
Surran. Rawlings, Davis. Young and
Chapman.
The events which are to be contested
all have a fair number of entries and are
as follows: Fifty yards dash. 100 yards
dash. 20 yards hurdles, 100 yards hurdles,
220 yards dash. 40 yards dash, $50 yards
run, one-mile run, pole vault, shot put,
high jump and relay race. The relay
race will be run at 800 yards instead of
the full quarter for each man. as that is
the distance the men will have to cover
in the indoor meets.
The fact that Georgetown was able to
play Virginia to such a close score ON the
Charlottesville floor is evidence that the
odds are going to favor the Blue and
Gray to win when the two teams appear
at the Arcade. The margin that gave
Virginia the victory last night was just
a bout what would come to 1t because of
its familiarity with floor which is moth
ing like the one on which the Blue and
Gray men have been used to playing.
Even with the advantage of the floor it
was the remarkable work of an individ-
ual, Gill, that gave the Virginia team the
majority of its points. The Orange and
Blue forward Tailed six goals from the
field and from very difficult angles.
According to report. the work of the
two teams was exceptionally good. There
was never a moment when the play was
allowed to lag, and the margin possessed
by Virginia was never sufficient at any
time to allow of any let up.
The play of the guards of both teams
H.
man and Campbell. for Virginia. dis
played excellent form, and WetZell and
Foley. for Georgetown, did the most cred
liable work. 1t is said that the defensive
best that has been seen on the floor of
the Virginia gym in long while.
The George Washington quint is sched-
uled TO meet the Gallaudet FIVE this aft
ernoon in the Kendall Green gymnasium.
The Hatchetites are banking on winning
as they have been showing an improved
form In every contest in which they have
appeared. The victory over the Maryland
Aggies. in a rough, hard game. showed
the team to be I'm better condition than
was thought TO be the case, and 1t Is ex-
pected by Coach Schlosser that his men
will get away with the Kendall Green
qGint.
Keegan. Catholic Cniversitys star
guard. will not be in the game tonight
Baltimore. Fallen arches in the young
ster's feet are keeping him out of the
. play.
Keegan-s absence from the game will
undoubtedly keep the G.. l.. Iive from
showing good form as might be, as
he is a very capable performer. keegan's
defensive work has been one of the fea-
lures of almost every contest In which
the Brooklanders have appeared.
The Maryland Aggies are scheduled to
meet the Mount st. Joseph's quint at
College Park this afternoon. The Farmers
in pretty fair condition, and ii is
likely that a rough game will be the re-
suit of the meeting of the two quints.
The play of the two teams in the other
contest in which they appeared savored
more of a wrestling match than a basket
Eall game.
The display of medals and cups az the
prizes to be awarded in the Georgetown
Meet March l is very attractive. The
prizes are on exhibition In the window
of "a local sporting goods store and the
teams that win them may feel proud of
their trophies, especially the PLAQUES for
the larger events.
