John O'Reilly, Georgetown's ath-
letic mentor, may be selected TO
start the annual high school field
and track games to be held May 20.

coming games.
The high school advisers will get
together tomorrow afternoon while
Eastern and Western are playing
at the American League Park, and
decide upon a place to hold the
games. M. A. c., Gallaudet, Satter-
lee Field and Catholic University
are the possible choices Of the ad-
visers, although it has been made
known that College Park is not ac-
acceptable on account of the distance
from the city, and the fact that at
tendance would be slim.
Other officials for the track will
probably be agreed upon tomorrow,
and the details of the meet arranged
so that programs and so forth can
be gotten out. The fact that the in
tercollegiate games at Philadelphia
will be held on May 20 may take a
number of men who would be more
than acceptable as officials.
The program for the meet includes
the 100. 200. and 440-yard dashes, the
half and mile. 220-yard hurdles. broad
and high jumps. pole vault. shotput.
