strong, and in the high jump and pole
vault it has Speidell. who probably is
more capable in those two than is any

] 1t has taken Bill Foley three years
| to build up the present squad. AL
| though one of the best men on 1t is
only in his second year, the majority
will graduate with the class of 1915.
Foley has developed squad which is
| more capable in many respects than
| the all-Star combination which repre-
sented the school when Fritz Reuter-.
George Hamilton and John Kelley were
starring for the Blue and White. He
! has relay team that is ten seconds
faster in a mile than the quartet which
represented the school at that time.

win in the scholastic championship

succumb to the prowess of the four
men who will wear Central's colors. A
scholastic quartet which can do the
mile in fraction better than $50 In
doors is one to be exceedingly feared;
especially is this true when it is con-
team is the kind of runner who will
perform better on Il cinder path than
on the boards, where the turns are
difficult for long-striding runner to

Just what school CentraPs relay
team will be placed against in the
Georgetown meet is not known, but it
would be a splendid attraction for the
management to get the Mercersburg
four down for a race. Mercersburg
has fast quartet, and an event be-
tween these two would be brilliantly
contested. An event between Epis-
copal and Central would not be a poor
drawing card. but the chance would
decidedly favor Episcopal to win.
Just what will be the final result of
the intercollegiate competition in the
three indoor meets cannot be foretold
to certainty, but the chances are
Georgetown will win, especially since
Virginia Is not to be represented
Claims may come from Washington
and Lee that it expects to accomplish
a great deal. but as a matter of fact
the LeXingtonians do not ave a team
balanced well enough to make a very
good showing against the Blue and
Gray. Washington and Lee won the
George Washington games by virtue
OF having victor in the novice fifty
and having the same man, with big
handicap. win the open fifty. In set
of dual games Georgetown would take
very nearly every first place from
Washington and Lee.
The MA Maryland y Aggies have a fresh,

games it won from a four represent
ing Gallaudet in a 12O0-yard race, and
in the Hopkins meet it took first
place by a good margin from the
Howard Athletic Club of Baltimore.
Axt, Vincent. Swartz and Rakemann
are the youngsters composing the
quartet. Vincent lives at Hyattsville,
Axt and Swartz are from Baltimore
and Rakeman is Washington boy.
All four of these boys give promise of
developing into sterling performers
