Georgetown probably has the best
balanced track and field team that mas
represented any south Atlantic schooi
in years Possibly in no previous sea
son has any stronger com bination
worn the colors of an institution in
this section. Not an event in which
the Blue and Gray cannot muster at
= least one star. In Connolly 1t has a
man who can hold his own IN the
mile and half mile with the best; LIE
Gendre can do the same In the field
events. dashes and hurdles, and be-
sides these two brilliant performeE eEs
IL possesses brilliant middle-distance
runners in Kinnally and Marsters, a
clever quarter-miler in Gray, and q
pole vaulter and high jumper above
the ordinary.
Gray. who won the quarter mile for
Georgetown in the indoor games last
week, was almost unknown to local
followers of track sports. In reality
he is veteran performer. one of his
notable accom- plishments having been
running second to Earl Eby. former
great Pennsylvania star, in the inter
allied games at Paris shortly after
the war.
University Of Virginia was weaker
in the indoor meets here and in Balti-
more than in a long while. Its relay
team in the Hopkins games was
distinct disappointment, and Its two
mile combination in the Georgetown
games was not the usual Virginia
four. by any means. Only two men
have shown the typically good Vir-
ginia form this winterBohannon and
B. Baker. Bohannon was about the
best quarter-mile runner in the south
last year, as he was capable OF doing
the distance in fifty seconds. 1t was
rather amusing to followers of track
sports in the meet in Baltimore when
1t was observed that Bohannon had
a twenty-yard handicap in the quar-
ter-mile. OF course. he won.
~Tnter'' Clark. University Of Mary
land lacrosse captain, may not be able
to play. The knee injured in foot
ball last fall is giving him trouble
and does not give much indication of
standing up under the strain of the
sary i4 fast lacrosse play. Incidental
ly, it is very doubtful If the, knee
will be in shape again for foot ball
next season.
Bryan Morse. director of athletics
at George Washington. recently un-
derwent an operation for appendi-
citfs in the George Washington Hos
pital. Morse came through the opera
tion nicely and is doing well. his many
friends viii be glad to learn. DR.. Dan
Borden. member Of the board Wh1cn
controls athletics at George wash
ington, performed the operation.
In all probability virginia's track
and field squad will be much stronger
outdoors than it was for the indoor
meets. 1t is understood that Pop
Lanigan paid more attention to the
winter. When it came to a decision
about accompanying the basket ball
team to Lynchburg or the track team
to Baltimore he went with the former.
And incidentally Lanigan turned out
one of the greatest quints OF his
career. From now on Lanigan will de-
vote his entire attehtion to track.
One record in the So1th Atlantic In
tercollegiate Athletic Association
which is likely to be shattered TINS
year is the shot-put. Last Friday
night in the Georgetown meet. Beers
OF University Of MARYLAND put the
shot a little more than forty-two feet.
The South Atlantic Intercollegiate
Athletic Association record is forty
three feet three inches. and II Beers
OF, a board floor, with big leather
covered shot, is able to get distance
better than forty-two feet. it certainly
seems that when he gets on the
ground with good foothold and
small ebrass shot ON which he can
get a better grasp he should easily
increase his distance oeyond tne
present mark. Summers OF virginia
Military Institute established the
present record a year ago, when the
meet was held on Georgetown rieio'
