the national A. A. U. senior champion
ships are to be held at Philadelphia
| The meet promises this year TO be ex-
| ceptionally well run and some new indoor
records may be made. Joie Ray, the mid
die western distance runner, has done the
mile in great time on several occasions.
and it would be no surprise If the mark
for that distance is shattered. Also Dart
| mouth has couple of hurdlers who may
do something to some of the indoor hurdle
| records if the Green is represented by
them. At Boston. earlier in the year, one
of the Dartmouth men equaled the worlds
record for the sixty-yard hurdles.
The indoor events in the track meets
here and in Baltimore demonstrated con-
clusively that the University of Virginia
the outdoor games of the South Atlantic
Intercollegiate A. A. that IL did last sea-
son. Virginia has been defeated in the
indoor contests by Georgetown, and the
latter. provided it keeps its team intact
without injuries, stands excellent
chance to win when ii gets outdoors.
There are two events In which II has by
far the advantage. O'Connor being the
best shotputter and Weidmann the peer
of the other pole vaulters. Also there are
not more than two men capable of taking
Griffith's measure in the 100 and 220 yards
dashes and quarter. and even in the case
of those two the least slip on their part
would give the Blue and Gray star the
victory in any one race in which the slip
occurred.
The Maryland State College was de-
MED admission to the Intercollegiate
A. A A. A. at the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of that body yester-
day in Philadelphia. because its appli-
cation for membership was not placed
before the executive committee sixty
days before the meeting. The constitu-
tion of the /. A. A. n. A. contains a
clause specifying that no application
l~sa, .l,sV saA
said application is in the hands of the
secretary sixty days before the. annual
gathering. States application was not
actually placed in the hands of the
secretary of the association until less
than a week before the time for a deci-
sion.
Georgetown drew a suspension from
the committee. which will be lifted as
soon as the Blue and Gray furnishes
the committee with a report of it's an
nual track and field meet. 1t is under
stood that the suspension is merely a
technicality and due to mistake.
The two most notable performancee
of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate A
A. events in the indoor meets were the
pole vaulting of Weidmann of George
town and the breaking of the record
for the two-mile run by Weeks of
Johns Hopkins. Weidmann leaped a dis
tance OF IL feet l inch and Weeks COW
cred the two miles in 9.56. Weeks broke
the mark previously held by Lee.
Weeks performance was all the more
meritorious when il is considered that
Lee set his mark outdoors on a cinder
path and Weeks was running on an in
door track twelve laps to the mile The
