Forty-three Events on Card
at Convention Hall Tonight.
Many Stars Entered.
MEREDITH SCRATCH MAN
by FRANK CoLLEY,

Out OF forty-three events scheduled TO
take place in Convention Hall tonight,
when Georgetown University holds its
sixteenth annual indoor meet, four are
classed as South atlantic championsbip
events. The high jump, pole vault, shot
put, and the mile run are the events
In which one Of the numerous athletes
entered will emerge victor and holder Of
championship.
The greatest array of relay talent that
has ever entered into competition will be
seen in action tonight. While it is true
that Georgetown will not meet Virginia
In their annual feature relay. they will
have as their opponents the quartet
which halls from Cornell. This race
should easily take the place of the usual
classic in former years, as the wearers
Of the Red and White have one Of the
best teams that will be seen on the floor
Another relay that will afford a lot
Of excitement is the one between
Princeton and Pennsylvania. In years
gone by the Tigers have had as their
rivals the Yale quartet. but this year
the Quaker City tribe will make Presi-
dent Wilson's alma mater travel the
limit TO win. Ted Meredith, the ster-
ling runner who upheld the United
States in the olympic games. will run
with the Pennsy quarter. and. with
the help OF Madeira. should be able
20 more than hold his-own with the
PrinCetonians.
In the open handicap events many of
the stars will find they have a rough
road to travel The handicappors have
been liberal and the winner of any one
Of these events will have to do the dis
tance in close to record time. The one
mile. open. handicap. race will afford
lot Of interest. s. Madeira, of Pennsyl-
vania, is the only man who will toe the
mark from scratch, while the limit Of
the handicap given against him is IS
yards. Carter. the youngster who won
this event in Baltimore. has a handicap
OF . yards. while Bacon, a teammate OF
has 10 yards.
Ted Meredith is placed on scratch in
two eventS-the 4iO-yard open handicap
and the SS9-yard race. These two races
will, without a doubt, prove the caliber
OF the Pennsylvania flyer, and should he /
win both races he will have accomplished I
a remarkable feat. Other events in the
races are of the highest order, |
and the stars in their respective dis !
tances will have to travel the limit to |
win.
