Hatchetites Meet GEORGETOWN and Other
Local Elevens- Change to Be Made in
Methods of Handling Athletics.

the two meets will be solely under
the jurisdiction of the South Atlantic
| intercollegiate Athletic Association: all
Will be scratch, and the entry fees are
TO go to the treasurer of the collegiate
| organization instead OF to the manage
| ment of the meet to which the particu-
| lar events are assigned.
| Just what relay races will be carded
| in the Georgetown meet as features
| is difficult to say. The Hilltopers have
| been attempting to make arrangements
for two or three SUCH events between
big schools, but have not announced
whatever definite progress they have
made. Lehigh and Lafayette have sig
nified their willingness to run against
each other in the George Washington
meet, and II was stated yesterday that
they probably would be matched for
one of the three final races on the
program.
Judging by the efforts now being put
forth. both the meets should attain
higher standards than those held year
ago. Neither of the events of last year
was much of a success from spec
tator's standpoint, though that held
by the Blue and Gray attained good
financial results. Georgetown. for the
first time in its history. made a real
attempt to localize it's games, with an
endeavor to provide one or two at
tractive features from outside sources.
There is no doubt it will make a great
effort again this season to develop a
strong local interest.
The Maryland State track squad is
likely to feel the loss of its star dis
tance runner. Aitcheson, who ran neck
and neck with DriscoIl of Catholic
University last year in the South At
Iantic intercollegiate mile and won the
South Atlantic \. A. L. championship
mile. was one of the three or four good
mile runners in the south AItcheson
q his best could do close to 4.39, which
was much better than the average for
this section. Also. Aitcheson could run
well in the two-mile event. his work IN
that being better than the ordinary 1t
is doubtful if State will be able to de
velop another man as clever in the tvs o
mentioned events as was Aitcheson.
Another institution which Will feel
the loss of an individual is Catholic
University. The Brooklanders are
without the services of Field, their star
| quarter miller and dash man. Field was
the most capable man in the 440 in the
south. standing almost by himself in
| that class. There were times when
Field did not run as well as was ex-
pected, but then he was in poor condi-
ton. When the South Atlantic inter
coliegiates came along, though, he not
only ran remarkably good quarter,
winning. but proved the greatest fac
tor in capturing the relay race, holding
down the anchor position. Sullivan,
lead-on man on the c. T.. relay four.
also is likely to be missed. although
not as much as Field.
Auray. one of Georgetown's runners
who failed to accomplish as much last
year as was looked for by those who
knew his real capabilities. is running
in much better form now than then
One familiar with Arrays perform
ances before coming to Georgetown
has this to say:
81 was very much surprised that Au-
ray did not do lot better than he did
in the meets down there. The summer
before he entered Georgetown Auray
ran the half mile in about . minutes
and the quarter close to 30 seconds
suppose he had an off wear, which al
most any athlete is likely to experience
You watch him, though, because If I
mistake not he will make some of the
best quarter and half milers in your
section sit up and take notice before
he is through"
