Local institutions will be represented in
two track and field meets tomorrow
Three of the colleges will send relay
teams to the University of Pennsylvania
games, while some of the scholastic
squads will go TO Washington and Lee
University al Lexington to take part in
the interscholastic meet to be given under
the auspices of that institution.
All four of the colleges winch have
supported track athletics during the past
it is likely that only three will really go.
Catholic University, Gallaudet and the
Maryland Agricultural College are the
three which are to be represented, ac-
cording to present prospects.

Technical High will be represented.
These schools will have one or two en-
tries each and possibly more than that.
1t is a decided blow to the hopes Of the
University of Pennsylvania to have Ted
Meredith and Kelly out OF the race to-
morrow for the one-mile relay champion
ship. George Orton. coach OF the Quak-
ers. confidently expected to break the
record for that event. provided there
were no mishaps to his men, and to have
two of them out Of 1t because OF German
measles is exasperating to say the least
Without Meredith and Kelly running,
the chances of the team for victory
will be considerably diminished, not con-
sidering the opportunity 1t VIII have to
break a record.
With Kelly and Meredith out of the
contest makes it likely that Penn will be
weakened in the two-mle event, as the
two places in the one-mile team must be
filled from the half-mile quartet.
just as was expected, the contest be-
tween Georgetown and Harvard yesterday
was one of the most brilliant played here
this year. The play was even at all
times, and the game was not decided un-
til the last man had been called out III
the ninth, when it was made certain that
Harvard had won by to Q.
The Crimson scored its only run in the
third inning. Hitchcock was walked. but
was forced at second when Wingate hit
a grounder to Martin at short Daily
dropped a perfect throw to catch Win
gate stealing, after which single by
ana ViYDo TO 70
town had some opportunities to even up
matters but the needed hit was not
fort rthcomfng.
Hitchcock and Kelly pitched good ball,
although the first mentioned must be
given the credit for having worked the
best game, because it was base on balls
and a single which allowed the run. Both
allowed the same number of hits, though
Hitchcock gave one more base on balls
than did Kelly. The Harvard man struck
out five and Kelly sent four back to the
bench without them having hit the ball.
Bill Martin is playing a really Won
derfuI game at short for Georgetown
now. His work has been better than
that of any shortstop who has appear
ed on a visiting college nine. and
he has been doing more consistent hit
ting than usual. Yesterday he got two
safeties out of four times at bat, and
he flelded brilliantly. Four put-outs and
four assists were marked to his credit
without an error.
It was rather a coincidence that Win
gate, who played shortstop for Harvard.
also put up an excellent game. Besides
scoring his teams only run, he had
five assists and three put-outs. And he
did not make miscue. either.
Catholic University failed to get out of
the slump into which it seems to have
fallen. and it lost again yesterday this
time to the North Carolina Agricultural
