Loss of George Washingtons Meet

The North Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical College will take Nirginias
place on Georsetown's foot ball schedule.
Negotiations have been going on for some
time, and arrangements have practically
play here November Il The only hitch
which stood in the way of such an ad-
Justment was a partial agreement y. and
NJ had with v +. l. for Il contest on that
date 1t is understood that this has been
eliminated i'll a way satisfactory to both
teams.
1t is intended that the game between
\. and NJ. and Georgetown shall take the
sinia to the extent of being the most i'm
portant in the south. The rivalry be-
tween the two Institutions is considerable,
has existed for several years. and there
is much reason to believe the game win
attract a great deal of interest. OF
course. y. and NJ. will not be the attrac-
ton here next year that Virginia would
have been. but in the course of two or
three seasons there is no reason why 1t
should not become one of much impor-
tance in that these two clevens have been
among the strongest in the south. In
Tact, It is very seldom that any other is
stronger than Georgetown or A. and NJ.
Another bit of interest that will be at
tacEed to the contest is that a. and NJ.
will be coached by Jack Iicgarty, a
former Georgetown captain. Hegarty
beat the Blue and Gray last fall. and
there will be much speculation as to
whether or not he will be able to accom-
piish the feat on the local field.
For the first time in the history OF the
relay races at the University of Pennsyl-
wanna there will pe teams from foreign
countries in competition-at least there
Will be one four from another nation
Tee oxford Cniversity's tour-nile quar-
tet will compete under the captaincy of
A. \. jackson. the man who won the
l."oo-meter run in the Olympic meet,
beating the American stars, at that time
rated as the best milers in the world. 1t
is reported that Sweden and Germany
also may be represented. If these coun-
tries enter teams. as seems fairly certain.
greater interest will attach itself to the
events than in any previous year. The
relay races have been growing with each
season and that they have come to
position of international prominence is
something to be looked upon with pleas
ure and qualification by those who have
Deen sponsor for them.
The Cathedral and Army and Navy
eparatory schools will meet in bAs-
ket bah this afternoon at the gym
nas1um of the latter institution. The |
schools was close and desperatelv |

Galiaudet and the Maryland Aggies !
are in the same class in the relay
races at Pennsylvania. Catholic Uni |
VerSity is Ill with several Of the north |

this section. Gallaudet has the same |
four men back that ran last year. and !

schools viii probably have teams in !
the events.
Local teams are preparing for the /
track meet to be held in Baltimore by ,
Johns Hopkins University February a.
Two weeks from Saturday. There does
not appear to be as much interest in |
general in track athletics here now as
there has been at intervals in former
years. and it is very probable that the
delegation that Washington
mas ever sent to the Hopkins meet will !,
be present this year Few Of the ati-
etic clubs seem 70 De doing much or. at
least. little can he learned of what is
icing done.
This lack OF activity at this time of the
ear is due, without doubt, to George
not having a meet In pre-
nous seasons the athletes have had the
iatchetites events to look forward to
shortly after the holidays, but now moth
ns Is III cNiuence Tor the majority OF

etes-and very few. at that--wil proba-
'ly go to the Hopkins meet. Georgetown

'ented by relay teams. The Maryland
Asgies will send over "A few individual
