The order of events for the George
Washington University indoor track
and field meet tomorrow night has been
arranged, the list of entries compiled
and practically everything possible has
been done by the nagement in order
to make the affair a success. The
novice sprinters will be called to their
marks for the first event on the pro-
gram, the novice 50-yard dash. at 1880
o'clock, and from that on there should
be a succession of splendid competi-
tions.
Following the 50-yard dash for
novices will come the open 5O-yard
DASH The best sprinters in the south
will meet in this event. Brooke Brewer
of Maryland State is the fastest man
in the list of those who will hear the
starters pistol, but Haenke of Wash
ington and Lee. Curry of Georgetown
and Wallace of Virginia are mighty
capable men. These. and all the others,
will get handicaps on Brewer, and there
may be some men entered who are faster
than is known Griffith of Georgetown
University will be on scratch. At any
rate, Brewer has his work cut out for
him if he is to win, because SIX or seven
feet in handicaps is a big distance to
overcome if the man on the handicap
mark is at ell fast. After the 5O-yard
open is scheduled the 50-yard scholas-
tic, and in that event are the most
capable schoolboy athletes In the

watch the events. The management has
made elaborate plans to do this. which,
it is believed. will succeed The meet
has sufficient features to guarantee it's
worth from standpoint of competition,
and it is due the spectators, who pay
good prices for their seats, that condi-
tions be forced which will enable them
TO watch the races and field events. If
the Hatchetites are forced to hurt
some individuals feelings by kicking"

ness being there, they may rest assur-
