The National Guard will not hold it's
track and field meet this year. That
was decided at a meeting a few days
ago, though until that time the IN
tention was to have the affair take
place. The reason given for the action
is that there is no desire to hold the
and there are not enough track and
field men in the District belonging to
the federation to make a good meet.
The failure of the local organizations
| to get self government at the recent
A. A L. meeting at New York sounded
the knell Of hopes for holding the
meet. according to the statement men
toned.
Announcement is made in this con-
that entries for for the sa
will close February IS. with Maj. Ed
! wards, who is in charge.
The basket ball game scheduled for
Wednesday, February 8, between
Georgetown and George Washington Is
that has watched a contest in this
city in long while. Athletic contests
| between these two institutions used
to be the greatest attractions of the
ception. The George Washington five
| is strong enough to make splendid
showing and stands an even chance
OF winning. which will be one OF the
| factors that will draw out all OF its
supporters. Also that will itself be
big thing to draw the followers Of
Georgetown. inasmuch as it has not
| been often that George Washington
| has had a team that could go into
game of any kind on even terms
about what the basket ball five Will
| do, though. as the work done in the
contest with Catholic University last
week was of such a character as would
presage a good contest no matter what
| team of its class might be opposed.
It is reported that Louis Connors will
compete in the indoor meets this WIN
ter under the colors OF George Wash,
ineton University. The former Cornell
star will be a member Of the two-mile
relay team which may represent the
Hatchetites, according to reliable In
formation.
| Bob Murphy, one of the best ball
| players turned out of the local leagues
| in years, will be with the New Orleans
club in the Southern League this n,. sea,
club in the Pacific coast circuit last
summer and did good work. The Of
fcial averages show him to have hit
for .ss7 in sixty.one games. He also
did well in the other departments.
leans club, after informing Murphy in
a recent letter that he had bought
him from the Oakland club, told Mur-
ply in the same letter that he was
and would be pleased with the way he
would be treated with the Pelicans. by
which name the New Orleans club is
known.
Catholic University did just about as
we'll against the Navy yesterday as
could have been expected by those ia
miliar with conditions. The Brook
landers were against q team Of recog-
| nized strength, one that is capable of
giving any Quint in tAs country bat
