Navy'S athletes in themselves
should prove q fine attraction. The
Aidshipn3en have one athlete. Curtis,
who should be we'll worth the pricn
of admission to watch in the special
mile race with Connolly of George
town. In this event also is likely to
Ire Booth. whom Hopkins people be-.
lieve to be just about Connolly's equal.
Hopkins will have a big squad in the
games, and Maryland and Virginia
also have entered more than the usual
number.
Last night Ply ysical Director John
O'Reilly and Manager John Connolly
went to Baltimore to arrange about
the handicapping of the events. They
are slated to get to work today on
the final relay pairings. and tomor-
row the program will go TO the press.
Theodore kistler, business manager
of Johns Hopkins athletics. deserves
considerable commenda ton for the
caliber of meet he put on in the 3th
Regiment Armory in Baltimore last
Saturday night. If there was single
fault to, be found with the games 1t
was that there was too much really
Eoof competition, SO much that 1t was
ness 70 impossible for the average
spe.I-.or to digest it all. kistler not
only put on a high-class meet. with
some of the best runners in the coun-
try competing. but made the meet
real financial success. No track and
field meet in the history of field ath-
letics in this section was ever SO sue
'cessful.
shields OF Penn state in the last
rart of the relay his team ran against
the Nav in the Hopkins meet gave
an almost perfect exhibition of how
to judge pace in mile. Shields
teen yards. and never in that whole
race was the Navy man able to move
up an inch on him, and Curtis. of
course. could at any time by sprinting
have moved up and closed the gap
between him and the running ma
chine in front of him. but he well
knew that Shields was setting pace
faster than which he dared not go
without running the risk of dropping
far back in the last eighth of mile.
1t was splendid judgment on the part
of both runners, especially Shields.
Johns Hopkins has the greatest
array of runners that have ever repre-
the field events of similar caliber the
other institutions in this section will
have to watch the Baltimoresns in
the south Atlantic intercollegiate
championships. Clarke is fine
sprinter. one who last spring did the
hundred in ten fiat. and Edwards is
fAlf-miler who has covered his dis
tSnce in less than two minutes Booth
is a great miller. Thomson is good at
any distance from the hundred to the
quarter. Skinner and Somerville are
clever quarter-mile men and Dorcus
also covers that distance in good time.
Norwood is another sprinter and quar-
ter-miler. and Aaronson is good in the
dashes, broad jump and pole vault
George Washington has entered a
squad in the Georgetown meet. The
ffatchetites did not have team at
Ubr1t = hut 10, fo RI
in every set of competitions around
here during the remainder OF the sea-
son.
Iniversity Of Maryland has entered
nineteen men in the Hilltoppers'
games, the same squad it sent to the
Geet in Baltimore last week. The
College Parkers have only. one man in
the squad. though. who scored points
last Saturday night, that one being
Reers. who won the shot-put with
heave OF Al feet S.jncles. The Mary
1anders also will be represented by
freshman relay team.
