The fastest relay team that has rep
resented Georgetown University since
1912. when Horter. Gallagher, Stehoins
and Terwilliger defeated Virginia by a
wide margin, will wear the Blue and
Gray this season unless something I'M
expected happens to make unfit one or
more of the runners uow being
groomed. OF course, there is the pos
sibility that changes will be made be-
fore the end of the season, and maybe
before it opens, but right now 1t ap-
pears that Griffith, Gates. Connolly
and Auray are the men who Will COM
pose the quartet to represent the HUI
toppers in the several races in which
they are to take part. All these run
ners are fast, all have had experience,
and the four ought to be good enough
as u team to put up an even race
against any combination in the south.
Griffith and Auray represented
Georgetown last season. The former
took part in the sprint races and the
quarter. and the latter ran in the quar-
ter-mile almost exclusively. Grlfnth
was i winner of the 44o i'll the
Georgetown meet, and did some fine
work in the SprlntS.

Of the Central High four which carried
the colors of the local school to the front
two years ago in the race for the high

Penn relay games. -Four men of the char
acter of these should give the best in the
south a hard run in any race over a mile
course.
Georgetown may be expected to make 4
much better all-arouud showing in track
athletics than it did last season. The Blue

Il team. Several members of the squad
already have been sent to meets in the
north, where they have run we'll against
some of the greatest performers Of the

DANGER ZONE" WIDENING.
New British Regulation to Hamper
Further North Sea Traffic.

LONDON, January 29.-Nothing has
been officially announced here in re-
gard to the extension of the danger
GUS to shipping zone in the North sea,
but the censor has permitted the publ
cation of Scandinavian dispatches re-
ferring to the new naval measure. Ac-
cording to kilograms from Copen-
hagen, Scandinavian traffic with Hol-
land hereafter will be very difficult and
the Danish fishing industry will be con-
siderably hampered.
warning that Great Britain had
made considerable extension to the
danger zone in the North sea was re-
ceived by the State Department Satur-
day, from the American embassy at
London. The new line cuts off the en-
tire German North sea coast and its
purpose it presumed to be to bottle up
more closely the German warships at
Helgoland and lessen the possibility of
the escape of raiders.

Association.

Justice Mahlon Pitney OF the Chevy
Chase Club is vice president-elect on
the ticket of the newly organized
Seniors Golf Association, the first
meeting of which is to be held in New
York tonight. Four years ago the first
annual seniors tournament was held
at the Apawamis Club of Rye N Y,
with few more than forty-five en-

more than $50 golfers from all over the

the event the largest tourney ever held

left from the quint of 1916. These men
are fast, experienced and generally
capable, but two men cannot hope to
win in a relay race against last
team, no matter how fast they them
selves may be. In an event between
two fast tours a loss of ten yards by
a slow man means the loss OF the
whole race, because that distance is
much more easily lost than gained.
1t is not possible yet to tell who Will
be used to round out the quartet IN
place of Field and Sullivan, the only
two certain members of the quartet
now being Driscoll and Keen. Keen
is running much better than he did last
year and should be the star of the
Brookland squad.
Only one basket ball game is to be
played here today, and that is booked
between two minor teams. The Coma
ga quint goes up to Georgetown to
meet the Georgetown Freshman five.
The Catholic University foot ball
team has scheduled a game with West

The contest is booked to take place in

every club also was Smelling out a great
deal of money to men with minor lea que
teams, men who had been sent back TO
the minors as lacking big league speed,
bu. who had been lucky enough to land
longtime contracts, which had to be
fulfilled. Thus, the Cincinnati club was
paying big money to Daniels, 1ingllng
! and Twombly, after they had ceased to
be of value t othe club. Their contracts
had TO be fulfilled and carried out TO the
last nickel: 50 these men played i'll
minor leagues, the minors assuming
only part of the salary obligations.
ours was not an exceptional case.
One catcher, drawing a wartime check
around $1,000, went back so fast he had
to be let out, and was sent TO a minor
club, but his $1,000 pay went right
along. One infielder drawing $4,000 had
salary. Quite Il number of such cases
could be recorded, and nearly every
team was similarly burdened.
