Just what races will be put on between
the big college relay fours is not decided
yet, but it is certain that two or three
fine attractions will be billed. There
VIII be or two 2-miie events, and
at least two or three at one mile. Just
what will be scheduled to take the place
of the irginia-Georgetown race. which
has featured the meet for years is hard
to say. The Blue and Gray is not likely
to be able to find a team to run against
it which will prove as big a drawing
card as Virginia, but it should not have
difficulty in securing an opponent capa-
Bile OF putting up a fine race. A meeting
with the l-mile team of Yale, Prince
ton, Pennsylvania or Harvard would be
big attraction. and might be just as in
teresting any contest with the Char
iottesville four. Especially would this
be true of Harvard. which has never
had track team in competition here
Besides these races there will be several
others, in which quartets from Richmond

| 1t will be rather ridiculous if George
town and Virginia persist in refusing to
enter their men in track events in which
the other is represented. There are
few open competitions in which these two

will not allow their men to compete in
| the same races il will be very difficult

| The amount of competition allowed teams
in the south. especially during the indoor
season, is very limited, with the result
| that when two teams do not take part
| they generally lose the chance for a lot
| of development. II Georgetown will not
| allow its men to take part in races or
| field events in the Hopkins meet or in
Richmond or in its own games in which
Virginia men may be entered. then it
| will have to go out of this territory in
| order to seek competition. OF course
| Georgetown may refuse Virginia repre-
