letail work connected with arranging

committee members on the jump,
especially as 1t Is necessary for them

England finished his part of the work
late Sunday night, that Is, as far as
he could finish. inasmuch as all OF
the entries had not been tsbulated.
The committee will have practically
completed the tabulation before going
to Washington today, and 1t is hoped
TO put the official entry list in the
hands OF the printer some time to-
morrow.
As expected, there was an eleventh
hour rush of entries and it is this
condition that has made the work of
those in charge all the more difficult.
Il all piled up at one time and the
committee is now trying to crawl
from under the mass OF detail that
has fallen upon its shoulders.
A hurried glance over the late en-
tries shows both Central High and
Technical High School. of Washing
ton. to have entered very strong
squads. Episcopal High School. of
Alexandria, a strong rival of the
Washington schools, will also be on
hand with a representative team, and
when the entries made by City Col
lege and Polytechnic Institute are
considered 1t is apparent the battle
for interscholastic honoTs will be very
keenly fought. Incidentally Princeton
Prep Is sending down NJ. X. Sherman,
a runner well known around here. He
is entered in the 40 and $50 yard in
terscholastic runs and will make the
going rough for all hands. The boy
who can beat him will stand a mighty
good chance OF being right up with
the winner.
Cornelfs team were among the late
arrivals and, in addition to the men
who will compete with Penn in the
two-mile feature relay event of the
night, Coach Jack Moaklcy has en-
tered two Others They are w. H.

Georgetown University. George
Washington University and Maryland
Swimming Club were also among the
late arrivals. . Georgetown, although
not entering a team in the South At
lantic intercollegiate relay event, has
named men for practically all of the
other titular races and looks to fig
ure prominently for the team trophy.
1t has also entered a number of its
best in the open events.
That Princeton is out only for top
aonors is shown by the fact that each
OF its representatives in the armory
meet has been entered in but one
event All Of its men are stars at the
university and the Tiger promises to
make it warm for the entire opposi-
ton whenever he is entered TO start.
The Camp Dix team, which will do
battle with Camp Meade in a relay
event, has also entered one OF its
men. Lieut.. George H. DeKay, in the
SO-yard run.
