man on the left suddenly leaned
forward, speaking across TO the
man at the right.

It was decided to hold the annual

more, under the direction Of Johns
Hopkins University. Virginia Poly
,echnic Institute was awarded, the
games in 1920, and Georgetown was
given the big meet for 1921. The Vir-
ginia Poly representative asked for
the games this season as did George
town.
Georgetown and Johns Hopkins
University arranged for a dual track
meet to be held on Georgetown Field
on May 3. 1t was planned to have

expected that by keeping away from

the adoption OF a schedule for this

solved.

the discussions that IL was decided
to go so far as TO make up a list of

time the preIiminaries for the annual
