In the big two-mile even. George
town has third position with Penn
on the pole and Princeton next.
Columbia, Ohio State. Harvard,
Penn State and Cornell are outside
OF the Hilltoppers. Both Columbia
and Cornell are touted as being
dangerous in this event, which will
be one Of the big features of Sat
urday's races.
In the half.mile college relay
championship Georgetown draws
the pole. In the one-mile cham
pionship event the Hilltoppers are
eleventh on the outside. while in
the four-mile event, which makes
little difference as to position,
Georgetown draws sixth place.
The three big races upon which
the Hilltoppers have set their
hearts are the distance medley,
the sprint medley and the four.
mile race. Credited indoors with
record In the sprint medley
record and thinking that four
milers can be produced who can
push the present record. the
Georgetown men will strive TO
make good their pretentions.
The HllltOpperS Will nave W COuuI
heavily upon LeGendre and Connolly
in two races and LeGendre will be
very much occupied with the pen
tathlon on Friday to be Of service in
the relay. Saturday, after a big
days work on Friday, he will come
back as he did last year.
Georgetown has done better In
doors than 1t has out in past years,
but this season the Blue and Gray
runners have shown considerable
better form in the spring trials than
they have ever done.
Blessed with seasonable weather
the track team is coming along
rapidly. Saturdays track meets In
this section were productive Of good
performances, but Georgetown's per-
formances in the dual meet in six
events were better than those OF
Princeton in the triangular meet
with Hopkins and Virginia at Char
lottesville, Va.
Incidentally, Beers Of Maryland is
going to be a big factor in at least
two South Atlantic events this
spring. The Marylander heaved the
shot 43 feet IL inches, which is Sh
inches better than the record made
by Sommers, of v. P. l.. last June.
In the javelin Beers got l65 feet
inches, which is feet inches
less than LeGendre's record heave
made last May on Georgetown field.
A Washington lad and former
Tech High athlete now attending
Johns Hopkins University is like
ly winner in the pole vault in the
coming South Atlantic meet.
Emanuel AarOnsOn, who got his
start in athletics at Tech, won out
at Virginia on Saturday from the
best pole vaulters that Princeton
and Virginia could produce.
Aaronson did IL feet 6 inches,
Horrax, former J. II. U. athlete, and
made in 1913. Aaronson is also a
hurdler and a sprinter.
The former Tech High lad has de-
veloped rapidly at Hopkins and bids
fair to better the mark set by Horrax
within the next two weeks.
In the Virginia a-Hopkins-P Princeton
meet the Tigers were forced to
watch Clarke, of Hopkins, take the
furlong in 21 is which is two-fifths
OF a second better than Maxon's
record made in 1913 on the same
field.
Chamberlain leap OF feet, 3
inches. won for Virginia in it's only
victory of a first place. This is
two and a half inches better than
the record in the South Atlantics
held by q. Connolly, another Hop
kins man, which has existed since
1914.
Taken all in all the track per-
formances Of Georgetown, Virginia,
and Hopkins athletes argues we'll
for several new records If weather
conditions are right for the meet
coming on May IL and 13 at Char
lottesville.
