Whitaker and Greene both will be
given opportunities behind the bat.
Comeiford. J. Sullivan and II. Sullivan
probably will be used at the beginning
of the contest in the outfield, but one
or II 10 others who have shown good
form are pretty sure to get chances
before the contest is finished. Coach
O'Reilly viii take the opportunity to
give all three of his hurlers trials in a
regular game. Murray probably will
pitch three or four innings. after which
Finnegan and Breslin Will be sent to
the mound in turn.
Georgetown's material for base ball
is much better than in the last two or
three years. As a matter of fact, there
are some men sitting on the bench who
could easily make places on the ordi-
nary college nine. Whelan at first. is a
in thS position being much greater than
that of the ordinary player in his first
year of college ball. The pitching and
catching staffs are excellent, and.
backed by fine infield and outfield, it
looks as if the Blue and Gray has about
all it needs to make a successful season.
Western won from Business yester-
day in a dual track meet. scoring 40 2-3
points against 81 1-3 1t was the first
set of track events in which the Ste
nographers have taken part since the
high school meet a year ago. and their
showing was even better than might
have been expected. The team seems
to have the potentialitieS of a mighty
goodvda ash man in Raedy, who ran the
fifty Yards in 5.45 seconds. Coach Paul
White intends to develop track sports
at Business this spring and has stated
that he will enter squad In all the
meets possible.
Bryan Morse has some promising
Youngsters in his Western squad and
may make a better showing in the out
door meets than is expected by the
other schools
