want to win without injuring any OF
the men who are playing.
Many a clever man has lost his posi-
tion because he has failed to turn out
winner. This might be expected OF
an athletic club, but not of colleges,
where athletics are supposed to be
conducted for the physical benefit OF
the students.
| Il always try and encourage the boys
TO come out and work" he continued,
| "and 1 always try to say a good Word
rather than TO censure them when they
! fall down and fail to play up to form.

! ] strive to make all the boys want to
work for me.
Il would rather have a boy with
| full determination and less ability
| than one with little determination
and much ability. for the one with the
determination will get there in the
| end and will be of much greater credit
| to the scnooL The lessons he learns
in athletic competition will be of
greater benefit to him when he goes
| out into the world
Does Not Believe in QuibbIinE.
Coach O'ReiIIy does not believe in
senseless quarreling among the uni
versities and athletic associations. He
| thinks that college men should be
| able TO forget the little things that
J crop up from time to time and cause
bad feeling. He expressed himself as
| specially pleased to see Georgetown
| and George Washington resume the
| friendly relations of former years, and
homes that in time the Blue and Gray
| will again be pitted against its an
| cient foe Virginia, in friendly con-
tests in all branches of sport.
In past years the winter months
! have been dull and dreary for the
Hilltop boys. but under the new coach
everything is different, and the gym
| nasium is the common meeting place
| for every body. Where's So-and-so,
| YOU ask, and the answer comes back.
| "Over at the gym" And you hike
over and find the whole school either
| rigged out in running suits, hoofng 1t
up and down the hall, or sitting
around watching the boys in training.
Coach Kept Busy.
There is not minute in the after
noon when the coach is not busy. The
track team meets every day for prac-
| tice at different hours, and the gym
! classwork goes on three days week.

and catcher turn out to warm up.

! shot-putters, and discus throwers get
busy at the same time outdoors Ihe
gym class meets from ; to 4

Georgetown preps have basketball II

Coach O'Reilly has charge OF the base

all work in the gymnasium, besides he
I acts As assistant coach TO the varsity
football team and coaches all the teams
from the prep school. 1t can be readily
! seen that he is a busy man.
Track Team VIII BE Busy.
As long as the new coach has anything
to do with track athletics there will be
plenty doing on the Hilltop. He believes
| in giving the men something to look for
ward to and consequently has arranged
/ for the Blue and Gray to compete in
/ practically everything worth while in
Idth SpOIlS llllS NllNtL anu SDllllS
Starting with the George Washington
meet in which the Georgetown track men
will be entered in the championship
events. the array OF dates is enough to
startle one. On February 70 the Hilltop
relay team will go to Hartford, Conn,
to run the Fordham relay team and on

track team will journey to Crab Town

Track Prospects Bright.
Georgetown track prospects are partic-
ularIy bright right a this time. The
Blue and Gray has several performers
of known ability and any number OF
new men who look promising. Among
the goods are Eddie Jones. in the fifty
and the lOO-yard dashes; Eddie Stebbins.
in the furlong and quarter; Marshall
| Lowe. in the high jump. and w. B.
Young in the mile. Duffy, Zappone.
| Robertson. Conwell, Ward, O'Gorman.
Golden. Barrett and Johnnie Campbell
are others who should be point winners.
No college baseball schedule in the
country can surpass that OF Georgetown.
D -
parts of the country, the Hilltop aggre-
CATION will go on a Northern and a
Southern trip. Due to the trips and the
industry of O'Reilly, the squad of candi-
dates for the baseball team threatens to
be the largest in the history of the
! school
\ With man OF Coach O'Reilly's. caliber
in charge supporters of the Blue and
Gray can confidently look forward to a
year Of unparalleled achievement in all
lines Of sport.
