Better talent from other cities will
compete in the indoor meets here this
year than last. Georgetown and George
Washington are making much greater
efforts to bring to Washington the best
track athletes in the country and some
stronger college squads than in 1915.
Georgetown should have no difficulty
in arranging for several relay races
between prominent teams, while George
Washington will have greater trouble
along this line because of the intercol-
legiates to be held in New York the
night of its games here.
Georgetown has been making an eff
fort to get Fordham to come down here
for the final race on it's program.
Fordham and Georgetown have been
great rivals for a long while. and the
Blue and Gray hopes that it's effort
will be successful, as 1t is thought that
such an event will prove very satisfac-
tory.
Another feature relay of the George
town games Will be that in which
Princeton is to face Yale, unless exami-
nations at the former institution in
terfere. The Maryland Aggies and Gall
laudet are scheduled to meet in a mile
event. while there are likely to be sew
sides these events. the Georgetown
management is trying to feature sew
eral races between some of the great
est individual runners. Loomis, Mere
dith, Halpin and Caldwell being among
those mentioned as possible contenders
for prizes.
George Washington wants the fea-
ture OF IT'S meet to be a relay race be-
Cornell. The lntercollegiates may pre-
vent Cornell sending down. its regular
four, but the Hatchetites believe that
the ithacans can be induced to send
down very capable quartet without
infringing on the real strength of their
team for the big events N Gotham
The first of :he indoor meets in the
