FOR MEET
CLOSE TOMORROW
Local Schools Have Only One
More Day to Name Men
for Track Games.
BY q. c. BYRD.

Local schools have until tomorrow
to file their entries for the annual
indoor track and field games Of Johns
Hopkins University, to be held In Bal
timore, at 9th Regiment armory. Feb
ruary 23. The list of contestants is
to close tomorrow at low noon. and
the entries placed in the mails prior
to that time will be accepted. 1t will
be well for local track and field man
ayers to remember that Hopkins is
much more strict in not accepting en-
tries sent late than either Georgetown
or George Washington used TO be here.
Georgetown probably was kept from
winning a meet in Baltimore two years
ago because Hopkins did not accept
the entries of two men sent aSlay late.
Judging by press reports, Hopkins
probably VIII have meet almost II
not quite. as big as that of last year.
1t has arranged for several relay races
between prominent institutions, and
indications are that the affair is gong
to be very attractive 1t is said that
military organizations have entered
men.
Local colleges and schools will not
be represented as strongly as hereto
going to have as many men in compe-
tition as usual, and only two colleges
will have their colorS worn. George
town is to send over a fairly represent
ative list and George Westminster VIII
have two men in the South Atlantic
l. A. A. races. but neither Catholic Uni
versity nor Maryland State Will be IN
evidence.
