As ever, the Hilltoppers are most am
bilious where the Penn games are con-
Cer1led, but they certainly appear to be
we'll equipped for the heavy program to
be tackled this week. Georgetown's ma
tionsl college championship race book
inSs include the quarter-mile, half-mile,
mu" two-mile, four-mile and sprint
medley relays, and for all except perhaps
the first of these II has splendid array
OF talent.
q. L. Quartrr-MiIers Strong.
The Hilltop probably is short on CEN
tury dash men capable of showing their
heels to the stars of other colleges. but
IL is long on runners who can step from
a furlong to n mile. The Georgetown
quarter-miiers showed in the winter
meets that they are to be feared by
any other 440-yard specialists Two or
three of them are said TO be capable of
breaking 80 seconds for the distance,
and several others are reported to be
able to hit that time consistently.
If this is so, Yale, Harvard. Holy
Cross and Virginia, the other big teams
entered for the mile relay race. would
have to show a wonderful burst of speed
10 head off the Hilltoppers. Georgetown
will hold time trials tomorrow before
definitely selecting its teams, but it
probably will be a difficult job to keep
Paul Herlihy, George kinnaly and Ray
Hass out of the mile quartet. They did
cons iStently well all through the indoor
campaigning. Right now it seems that
tomorrcw's trials will be only for
fourth member of the team, so far as
the mile relay is concerned.
Georgetown is especially interested
in the two-mile and sprint medley
races which will be international in
character, due TO the presence of
the Cambridge team. The English
men have established wonderful
reputation in their home land. but

tackIing the Blue and Gray two-mile
