why the man should not be allowed to

Union rules. And because there hap

Kept from taking part in events held
under the rules of the Amateur Athletic
Union and open to any athlete thus
registered in good standing. While
Georgetown holds the meet the open
events themselves and those who partici-
pate in them are governed entirely by the
A. A. u. code.
There seems to be some opinion that
Technical High is going to be out with
one of the strongest scholastic track
teams in the south. The Manual Train
ers have very capable bunch of young
sters in training, according to report,
and are going to make things more in
teresting for the other schools than they
have done in years. Especially are the
supporters Of the team banking on this
when they consider that Western has
lost the mainstays of its squad and Cen
trail has been compelled to develop
team almost entirely from green ma
terial.
Jimmie MuIligan, who is coaching the
Georgetown track team, is rather op-
timistic concerning the chances of de-
veioping a good relay team on the hill
top, notwithstanding the absence of
three members of last years four Null
liSan thinks he will turn out quartet
which will compare favorably with any
representing any institution the size of
Georgetown. OF course. Mulligan would
not express preference for any of the
men. other than to say that two had
their places practically certain, but that
the other two positions were a toss-up
between several of the candidates.
Brewer. captain of the Georgetown
squad. is expected to have the best sea
son OF his career in the short sprints. He
has been getting away from his mark
well. according to report, and gives every
evidence OF showing even more marked
ability than in past seasons. Eller, the
other sprinter on whom Georgetown has
depended for the last two years, will not
compete-that is. according to conditions
as they are at present. Eller has given
no special reason as to why he will not
be member of the team, simply saying
he does not expect to go out for it. His
absence will mean that the largest point
getter of the last two seasons will be
lost. There has been no man on the
squad who has scored as many times as
Eller. and with him out of the repre-
sentation in the several meets the Blue
and Gray is not going to stand the
chance of winning that it has previously.
1t was mainly through the fine work of
Eller that the hilltoppers got away with
all three of the indoor games in the
South Atlantic section last winter.
If Gallaudet can show as great strength
on the gridiron next fall as it did in
1918. it may give the GEORGETOWN team
quite a rub on its Thanksgiving day date.
The Kendall Green eleven ought to be
even stronger than it was last season,
because it will put exactly the same men
on the field. The majority of those
have been playing at Gallaudet for some
time. with the result that they are a
formidable combination.
In scheduling Galaudet Georgetown is
trying rather interesting experiment
playing on holiday date small local
college in preference to booking contest
with one of the big northern Institutions.
as has been done in the majority of past
seasons. 1t may be good proposition
for Georgetown, and again it may not.
If Gallaudet comes through with team
such as it had last fall and wins prac-
tically all the games it has scheduled
with teams in its class the Blue and
Gray will probably make by the change
in policy, but if the Kendall Greeners
fail to reach the standard of last fall.
for any reason, and suffer one or two
defeats in their games with teams below
GeorgetoWns class. the contest will not
be very fortunate one.
The Maryland Aggies basket ball team
is scheduled to play three games this
week. 1t will go to Lexington, Va, to-
morrow. where it is scheduled to play
Washington and Lee and the Virginia
Military Institute Tuesday and Wednes-
day, respectively. Returning Thursday.
