Catholic University may be pltteo
against the veteran Holy Cross team In
a one-mile relay race in the George
WASHINGTON meet. according to Coach
Jimmy MulIigan. who has charge of the
BrookIand athletes.
MulIigan has had his proteges training
every day at Carroll Institute and is will

four il the officials of the meet are Will
ing
Holy Cross has one of the fastest relay
teams in the East. and has had consld-
cradle trouble getting races due to this
! fact, and much credit is due the Cathohc
/ University boys for being willing to meet
them here.
Negotiations still are in progress to Sc
cure the participation of Lehigh Cniver-
sitv in the coming meet. LehiSh de-
mands the guarantee of certain sum
for the trip to Washington. and the
. Hatchetite officials think the figures are
rather high. They have submitted
! counterprOposal. which is about ~ lower
than the Lehigh offer. and it Is believed
! the out-of-town university will accept the
proposition. A definite settlement of the
matter is expected within few days.
I Prof. Leslie cleveland McNemar fac-
uItv director Of athletics at George
Washington, announced last night that
! the University Of Pennsylvania will not
take part in the meet. Pennsylvania was
! sent an invitation and seemed anxious TO
COLI. to Washington. but their sine qua
non demand was that they be permitted
| to use spiked shoes. This request had to
I be denied. as officials Of the meet already
/ have decided TO bar all spikes.
At a recent Georgetown meet, where
the floor was Banked. the Pennsylvania
contingent suffered a number of falls
and the request for permission TO use
spikes was the result The floor will not
be banked at the Hatchetite meet.
The toastmaster at the George Wash
ington interfraternity banquet at the
Raleigh Hotel the other evening sprung
good one on Prof. McNemar. During
the "ioshinC' which was being carried
on he announced that he had received
word that Prof. McNemar was wanted
over at the medical building. where
patient known as Miss Athletics" was
bout to give birth to another athletic
debt The students howled. There's an
old saying that many true word is
said in jest Prof McNemsr retorted that
the statement was so true 1t had long
ceased to be a joke.
Our old friend. Mickey Keliher, dropped
into the office the other night to get a
.'chaw' of tobacco. Mickey looks like he
had been farinE pretty well of late. for
he has grown into quite big boy since
We saw him last. and his shoulders stand
ont like hams. and then some. keliher
played last season with the Hartford club
in the Eastern Association. and is still
the property of that club. Owing to the
fact that they suffered, like most Of the
other clubs when the public turned
cold shoulder to baseball last summer,
the salary list is to be pruned. When
Mickey heard this he set up great howl
and threatened TO jump. so he expects TO
be sold. and will probably 90 to Little
Rock, way down South, where It's nice
an dwarm. and where. when the cotton
is sold. there will be plenty of long green.
Good luck, Koliher: We wish you everH-
thIng-from money on pay day to bat
ting average like Ty Cobb's.
