In the big two-mile event Geotsc-
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 VIII
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.naile event, which makes
little difference as TO position,
Georgetown draws sixth place.
The three big races upon which
the HiIItoppers have set their
hearts are the distance medley.
the sprint medley and the four
mile race. Credited indoors with
a record I'm the sprint medley
record and thinking that four
mIlors can be produced who can
push the present record. the
Georgetown mon Will strive 10
make good their pretentions.
The Hilltoppers VIII nave 10 count
heavily upon LeGendre and Connolly
In two races and LeGendre Will De
very much occupied with the PEN
tathlon on Friday to be OF service IN
the relay. Saturday, after big
DAVIS work on Friday, he will come
back as he did last year.
4 Georgetown has done better In
doors than IL 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 Maryiander heaved the
shot 40 feet IL inches, which is 8h
inches better than the record made
by Sommers, OF ". p. l.. last June.
In the javelin Beers got 165 feet
inches, which is feet 2 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 I'm the pole vault I'm the
coming South Atlantic meet.
Emanuel Aarouson, who got his
start In athletics at Tech, won out
at Virginia on Saturday from the
best pole vsulters that Princeton
and Virginia could produce.
Aaronson did IL feet inches,
equaiing the mark set by Gilbert
Horrax, former j. II. U. athlete, and
made in 1918. Aaronson is also a
hurdler and 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 Hopkins-P Princeton
meet the Tigers were forced to
watch Clarke. of Hopkins, take the
furlong in 21 1-5 which is two-fifths
of second better than Maxon's
record made in 1913 on the same
field.
Chamberlain's leap of s feet. 8
inches, won for Virginia in it's only
victory of a first place. This is
two and a half inches better than
the record I'm the South Atiantics
held by O. Connolly. another Hop
kins man, which has existed since
1914.
Taken all In all the track per-
formsnces OF Georgetown, Virginia,
and Hopkins athletes argues well
for several new records IL weather
