Marshall Low, star high jumper at
Georgetown for the last two years, won
| t at event in the Junior National A. A. u.
indoor championships held in New York
last night. Low finished first in what
was scratch affair with leap of five
feet eleven inches. Siemsen of Dartmouth
was second.
| The fact that Low was able to win
the high jump in the National A. A L.
, junior competition last night is indicative
of better form than he has shown in
some time. Certain it is that Low will
be in good enough condition to make a
! good showing in all the indoor games
| this year, provided he maintains his pres
ent form.
Georgetown seems to have in Low,
Jores and Stebbins almost certain point
winners in every meet this winter, pro-
S1ded, of course. they are not SO heavily
handicapped as to make victories we'll
nigh impossible. Every capable man
generally has so many men ahead of him
| in every field in which he enters that he
nnds the going very difficult, especially
| IN :. race for less than half a mile. Take
three-lap track, for instance, and place
twenty men ahead Of the two or three
VINO are on or near the scratch mark, and
IL means that their trials will not come
IN the showing of sufficient speed to pa ISIS
thelr opponents, but in worming their
way through an almost compact mass of
runners. If the mentioned athletes are
! not forced to partake of defeat, for that
| reason they are almost sure to be point
winners IN every meet they enter in this
section.
