V|RG|N|A'S ATHLETES
SHOULD MAKE SHOWING
Orange and Blue Track Men in Fine
Shape For Events Saturday
Night in Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 21.-The Uni
versity of Virginia track squad, which
makes splendid showing each season
at the Johns Hopkins Fifth regiment
games, looks to be one of the most
dangerous Contestants in the big in
door classic to be held at the Fifth
regiment armory on Saturday night.
Captain r. A. Barker has a mighty
strong relay quartet, which will be
entered in the mile South Atlantic
championship race. 1t Is composed of
Stone, Goodwin. Cornick. Minar and
Raund. Stone is a quartermiller of
ability. having shown some real speed
in dual meets between Pennsylvania
and Princeton last season. He has
developed considerably during the in
door workouts and should find himself
at these games. Raund, another
strong member of the quartet. is at
his best at the half mile, which he
won in an easy manner at the George
Washington games in Washington a
year ago.
Manager D. G. Wilson also has en-
tered several of his men In the dash
events, and from their past perform
ances will furnish all sorts of trouble.
j. NJ. Cornick Is entered in the 220-
yard championship race and certainly
looks good for a place. In the quar-
tet last season he was a close second,
while at the George Washington
games he also scored.
In the 440-yard run Stone. Raund
and Cornick are a dangerous trio.
Coach II. II. flanagan has been
spending considerable time on the
development of Stone. He finished
third in the intercollegiate quarter at
Philadelphia last May and Is going
even stronger this year. In the open
mile run Virginia has a dependable
pair in Allan and Stands.
