capper Joe England.
Hopkins Wins Meet.
The nineteenth annual indoor meet
of Georgetown University, held in
Convention Hall last night, was
marked by poor competition. Johns
Hopkins athletes. set out near the
limit mark in practically all the
events, romped home easy winners.
Washington track coaches claim
that in events where 1t was all too
pslpable that Hopkins men should be
on the scratch mark the handicaps
were small, so that in the main the
Hopkins men got through the fields in
plenty OF time to make a battle for
first honors.
After the meet two coaches of
scholastic teams declared that from
previous experience they had found
out a way to beat the handicapping
game and had entered novices only.
Coaches Are wrathy.
Coach H. c. Byrd, of Maryland
State, declared he would enter no ath.
letes in future indoor meets where
they were subject to handicaps. Byrd
said his men would be confined to
and would be withdrawn from COM
petition against Hopkins men.
Georgetown's coach, John B.
O.Reilly. declares he will furnish
proof OF the favoritism to Hopkins
athletes at Tuesdays meeting. 1t is
expected that a resolution will be
sent to the Amateur Athletic Union
head, DR.. William Burdick, of Balti-
more, asking that steps be taken for
an investigation.
