The George Washington University
indoor track and field games tonight at
Convention Hall practically will mark
! the close of indoor athletics for the
current scholastic year. Gallaudet is to
play a basket ball game tomorrow at
Kendall Green with the Johns Hop
kins Independents. but the competi-
tions tonight form the only event Of
general interest remaining on the sport
calendar. George Washington closes
its basket ball schedule with game at
Brooklyn. N. Y. and all the other
school and college quints finished their
seasons some time ago.
The first event of tho track games
tonight will be started at 1880. At that
time the novice dash men will toe their
marks in the 5o-yard race. and from
then until after IL o'clock an excep-
ttonally interesting series Of races
should be seen. Mike Thompson is to
referee the meet, Pete Carney will start
and Joe OToole will be clerk Of the
course. These three important posi-
t1ons are to be well taken care of.
The best men in the south Atlantic
section will be on scratch in the open
events. In the fifty yards open Brewer
| Georgetown will run from the first
chalk mark. About the best in front
Of them are Haenke of Washington
and Lee, Wallace of Virginia and Gano
Wallace two feet and Gano five feet
handicap. The scholastic fifty has on
scratch Andrews of the Baltimore Poly
techntc Institute and Mcnamara of
Technical High. The other schoolboy
sprinters are in front of these two
men for the most part, with three or
four feet each in handicaps. In the 440-
yard scholastic dash Lynch of Eastern
College Academy is the only man on
scratch. Brock of Tome School, with
twelve yards; Hout of Western High,
with twelve yards. and Levering of
City College, with thirteen yards,
ought to be capable enough to make a
good showing. 1t would not be a sur
prise If Hout wins the event. In the
scholastic $50 Sheehan of Tech is on
scratch. Tolson of Tome, with TWEEN
ty-five yards, and Miser of Mercersburg
with four yards. are good men. Miser
!! is Just about as clever as Sheehan. and
the race between them should be good.
Auray of Georgetown and Stone of
Virginia are on scratch in the 440-yard
dash open. Auray also is scratch in
the open $50 and is placed there in that
event beside Weeks of Hopkins.
Knight of the Washington SWIM
ming Club has twenty yards handicap.
and ought to do well if he is in good
shape. Round Of Virginia also is fast
enough to give the best men in the
CNCHl d Icdl uSHl. w eekS OF HOPKINS
is the scratch man in the mile: Firor
Of Hopkins and Kimmell Of Maryland
Swimming Club are scratch in the high
jump; Weidman of Georgetown is the
only scratch man in the pole vault,
and Leadbetter of Hopkins and OCon-
nor of Georgetown are scratch in the
twelve-pound shotput.
