Georgetown II Picked.
On the showing made in the Hop
kins-Fifth Regiment meet in Balti-
more than two weeks ago, Georgetown
Is picked to win a majority OF points
in the South Atlantic events hands
down.
II the Hilltoppers come through in
the open events 1T will surprise no
one. Opposition offered by the other
South Atlantic colleges, including the
Hopkins and Washington and Lee men
will probably fail TO stop the Blue
and Gray men.
For Scholastic honors Tome, Staun-
ton and Central should have a merry
three cornered battle with Baltimore
Poly. western, and Woodbury., giving
a chase. None of the other schools
are expected to do much in the way
of competition although the sharp
banks and narrow track Is likely to
offer resistance to some of the favor
ties especially If they so down In
spills
Champions Are There.
There will be a number OF cham
pions listed in tonight's games. The
meet will offer Bob LeGendre. Amer
lean and Inter-Allied A. e. +. cham
pion; his first opportunity to show
before home folks. Washington fol-
lowers of track athletics and OF
Georgetown have been reading columns
of the prowess of LeGendre He
has shown almost everywhere but in
his home town and will surely get
big ovation.
Jack Feeney, national indoor Junior
champion, is another youngster to
show tonight. Feeney Is a George
town lad who stands a bit higher
than i've feet six. He is a slight
youth, but Is capable of doing better
than six feet in the high jump and
eleven feet in the pole vault.
Jimmy Connolly. another George
town star is national Junior mile
champion. He is entered in the S. A.
/. A A. half and is capable Of giving
the college rompers a great chase.
Connolly is South Atlantic mile title
and record holder in addition.
Dorsey Griffith, Quartermile cham
pion and 50-yard S. A. /. A. A. title
holder and present 100-yard S. A. !. A.
A. champion, is entered in about all
the 50-yard dashing and quartermil-
ing on the card. He is apt to show
something out Of the ordinary. as he
turned in a 81 fiat for a quarter last
Saturday at Urbana III.
College Stars Ready.
Thompson, of Washington and Lee;
another Thompson, of Hopkins;
Form, of Catholic University; Ouray,
New England metropolitan quarter
mile title holder, of Georgetown; Null
likin. Johns Hopkins; Gannt of Vir-
ginia, and Rutledge, OF Catholic Uni
versity. as well as Archer, of Vir-
ginia; Glasscott, of Catholic Univer-
sity; Delavergne, Of Catholic Univer-
sity. and Mcnamara of Catholic Uni
versity. are likely point winners.
In the scholastic events Johnston,
Montgomery and Kern. of Central,
arc expected to figure in point win
ming. Staunton Military Academy
is presenting sterling performer in
Jenkins. who literally cleaned up in
Virginia meets last year.
White, Humphreys, Halleck, Coalc,
of Tome. will be brought down by
Francis Dunn for whack at the
scholastic events. Humphreys gal
Ioped or with the interscholasti
half-mile event in Baltimore two
weeks ago, but will find Montgomery,
OF Central: Gross, of Tech, and one or
two others ready for him
Relay Is Attractive.
The high school championship re-
lay race between Tech, Western and
Central is creating a deal of talk.
Techs big lads are not in the shape
they might be. While Western is be-
ing favored all of the schools figure
that Centrars youngsters will scam
per around the turns ahead Of the
big fellows and come ahead.
The junior relay with Central. Bal
timore Poly and Western entered Is
likely to be a hummer. Central Is ex-
pected to score on the Baltimore lads,
as they bettered their time in Balti-
more two weeks ago.
The big two-mlle South Atlantic
race Is likely to prove a oliver
unless Virginia can be persuaded to
send its team to compete against
Georgetown. Bill Foley says his two
mile team Is not ready, and George
town. therefore, will have no compe-
tition unless some other Institution Is
persuaded TO compete.
