Schools to Place Strong
Squads in Competition.

next three weeks will find in competi-
ton strong representation from
Washington colleges and schools In
the events under the auspices of Johns
Hopkins in Baltimore and Catholic
University here. Georgetown. Catho-
lie University, George Washington
University and Central, Western and
Technical High Schools will place
their full strength, with the exception
that Tech does not consider IL advisable
to take part in the contests at Balti-
more.
ohe event in the Hopkins meet is
giving local colleges cause for much
conJecture-the South Atlantic Inter

ing its team all season for that event
and it has been understood that yir-
ginia has intended entering four.
catholic University had some inten-
tion OF placing a. four in the event.
but it seems that nothing can he
learned about the race. Rumor has
peen OUT Tor the last several days that
hopkins has jumped to accept a re-
{ quest from Princeton to run a dual

true would minimize the Importance
OF what should be the most attractive

development in track during the

the other colleges or schools. all have

manager of athletics at Georgetown.
| said that he did not have an exact
list of the entries that would be
made at Baltimore. as the list is in
possession of John O'Reilly, who
went TO New York yesterday with
the track squad to compete in the
New York Athletic Club meet. but
the full strength of the squad
would be in competition in the Hopkins
| and &. U. meets.
We shall have from seventeen TO

safd Cox. and they will be the pick
| OF the thirty-seven we have in train
| ing. our relay team will be in Bal

| Atlantic intercollegiate Athletic AS
sociation championship race. and we
| expect to get our share of the points
IN the other events. I do not know
! that We shall win the meet nor am
l in a position to say that we should
| take the relay race. but you can just
bank on it that Georgetown will not
/ oe Tar behind in either. Our men
! stand out as good as any in the south,

handicapped in the open events, ought
TO do well in everything they enter

squad of thirty-seven men in the

| Charley Moran. athletic director at
| catholic University. of course is more
interested in the c. u. meet, scheduled
March 13. than in the one to be held
by Hopkins. yet made the announce
ment last night that the Brooklanders
had entered ten of their best men in
the races in Baltimore this week.
terday about the c. u. squad:
You understand. of course, that
| this year is more or less of a trial
| with us, as far as track is concerned.
| 1t is our first real effort to put out a
track and field squad, and it also
marks our initial endeavor to stage a
meet of our own. At that, though, /
believe we shall do well in both lines.
Our squad has been working hard for
about three weeks under the direction
of Bill Foley, and the men are COM
ing along rapidly and seem to me to
be in fine shape, though you could
never get Foley to admit it.
We are going to send ten men to
the Hopkins meet and are hoping
they will place in most of their
events. Kane is going to run the
hurdles, Bowling is entered in the
high jump, De La vergne in the hun
dred, Donoghue in the S. A. l. A. A.
championship hundred. Rutledge is to
compete in the hundred and shotput.
Mcnamara and Foran in the furlong
and quarter and Harrington. Kilcoyne
and Sullivan will run in the $50.
"Plans for our meet are coming
along we'll. Oficial sanction for the
meet has been granted by the A. A
L., invitations are being sent out and
we now are engaged in making up
our list of officials. What should be
a feature event is the 50-yard dash.
in which we have especially invited
every college in the south Atlantic
section to enter their best sprinter."
George Washington has a squad at
work. but is making no predictions
as to what its personnel will be able
to accomplish. Harry Knight, coach.

tered our men in the Hopkins meet
and will place them in the c. L.
games also. That Is about all / can
say, as no human being can do any
thing more than conjecture what
more or less green track men will
do in their first races" is the way
Knight puts 1t.
Central High will put first relay

be represented by two fours in limit
