Georgetown University athletes are
TO make a strong bid for the indoor
/ intercolle egiate track and field title
| next Saturday night in New York
The Hilltoppers. 25 strong, will go to
Gotham Friday evening, and the next
| day compete with the cream of col
| lege athletic talent. For some years
Georgetown has sought intercolIegi-
ate laurels indoors. but with little
| success. This Winter. however. it
/ has great chance to earn the crown.
The Blue and Gray will send two
formidable relay teams to the car
nival, even though they probably will
not be exactly the same quartet that
| have been setting the board tracks
| Gegan may take the place of VIII
Sullivan on the two-mile team, as SuIli-
van probably will be sent into the mile
race. Vernon Ascher's strained leg
still is troubling him, and he may be
| replaced on the mile quartet by Ed
Swinburne or George Eastment.
Helm, Estevez, Gaffey, Melton, Me
Hugh, Kearney, Kinaily and John and
Ray Haas are prominent among the
track men who viii represent George
town in New York. Norton, Plansky and
Dowding are expected to score in the
| field events.

the finishing touch to the sport for
1925 with a clash at College Park on
| Thursday night The latter tilt may
