| everything IS now ready Tor the Dlt
Georgetown track and field meet to be
held next Saturday night. February 2
the management OF the meet announced
last night at the Hilltop. This coming
meet will be the seventeenth Athleti,
| Association. and Indications all point Il
| its being as attractive, IL not more so
| than its predecessors.
! Manager Curry. of the Hilltop, ha!
| spared neither time nor expense to MAKE
! his meet a worthy affair and a criterion
| for future meets. II was with this pur
| pose in view that he has been in con
slant communication with the larger uni
versities of the North and representative
| ones of the South.
| 1t is easy to see that his efforts have
met with success and that the Wash
ington public will be given an opportun
| ty TO seq the track stars of college
club. and prep school in action. Already
visible evidence of interest being taker
| in the meet can he seen in the way thai
| tickets put on sale have been bought.
Two Big Attractions.
| There are two main attractions cardeC
! for the evening. and they will vie witt
one another for most enthusiasm. Near
est home Is the Georgetown Lehigh mile
/
| winning, and both have strong mill
| teams.
! Lehieh easily defeated the John Hop
\ kins relay team in the George Washing
| ton meet last week while Georgetown
| gave an indication Of her strength IL
| the Hartford meet Friday night wher
she raced the VI. / T. four II Stebbin'
and Burke are sent off at anything lik'
even starts a race will he sure to en-
sue that will be long remembered il
| Washington. Both are fine quarter
milers and game from start to finish.
| The other star event that will maxi
track history is the two-mile relay race
between those deadly rivals of thu
North. Yale and Princeton. The rela!
race between these two universities il
| of as long standing as the football
games that yearly draw thousands from
all over the country.
Locals Fortunate.
| The Georgetown management was eN
tremely fortunate in being able to have
the race held in Washington, as severa
| other college meets were considered
but rejected in favor of the George
| town games. The alumni of these two
universities in Washington are plan
\ ming to entertain the teams royalty
and a big celebration is promised the
winner.
| Club stars from Philadelphia. Balti-
more. and Washington will contest fol
| hOnOrs and the cup that has been Of
fered for the club that carries off the
most points in individual events. Cen
trail Y. NJ. C. A., of Baltimore, appear:
! to have a little the best of it If we are
to judge by past performances. but the
| Carroll Institute. of Washington. anC
the Cross Country Club. of Baltimore
also have strong teams.
Philadelphia Club.
Meadow Brook. Of Philadelphia. al.
ways has a strong representation. and
with men like Gallagher, Horter. and
several others of their class Will in al
proba bility give a good account oil
themselves. The Columbia \. c. should
also put in a good class of athletes anc
again establish themselves on foot
| ing with the top-notchers.
That the high schools and preparatory
schools of this and surrounding sections
| will make a fight for the trophy put w
for them is manifest by the entries thai
| have been coming into Manager Curry
Central. Western. Tech. Eastern AND
Rusincss. all have expressed their inten'
ton To win the cup for their respectiv,
| schools.
| While the sympathies of the Washing
ton sport followers will be with them
Tome, Episcopal MrrcerbUrS, Gilman
and other schools of their type. will make
! il a very even matter. Mamax. of West
era. and Oyster. OF Central. are men that
will be hard to beat in any scholastic
meet and are generally conceded points
| in their events.
Props Look Good.
| GEORGETOWN Props have good Splinter
| in Hume as also III r. Connors. George
town will have a good chance to collec,
a few of the championship events that
| will he awarded at the meet. having mer
that are suited to the events that are e
| be held that night. Jones is good fol
the fifty and Gill and Barrett will not be
| tar behind him. Golden is going Well In
| the hurdles and at the distance hopes tc
Head home the field. Pat Conwell. Ward
| and Barron are men that are coming
along fast in the weight events and arr
confident of collecting a few points
Should they come through in their events
and Low win the high jump. as he has
every chance to DO. Georgetown may not
only win the point torphy but also clincl
the indoor championship title of the
South Atlantic Association.
