0eSpiIS the St8TS VINO nave HlatiS
up lis squad. the Rlue and Gray has
taken part III only n few meets and this
Spg;pS no effort is to be made 10 elab-
crate The list. AS the situation stands
now the team win take part in only
llree meets, the Penn relays at Phila-
5eipEia, April - and IS; dual meet
with Navy, May ls, and the intercol-
e1iateS May c5 and &c
Students At Georgetown will not see
he:r team Ill action unless they so 10
r:her fields. And that, and the short
cnecule, too. seems unfortunate. mas
aucA SIS the team should be one OF the
Aest in the EsS;. 1t would seem that
nc Blue and Gray naturally should
secide 10 give its team every possible
aoortGn;ty for com cetltion. as. among
QCn stars as Eoctor WcSner. Adel-
han widermuth. Hines and others
e 10 be found some of the best per-
o-T1ers IN college ranks, men who
woGld do well in any kind Of compeii-
'on men who sta'sd good chance
nf reSreSeatlnS tho United States III
the Olympic meet the coming Summer.
Possibly one resS0a why Georgetown
sA6oeS not care to sch sdule meets on the
Hilltop is because tsS track is not in
very good shape The Blue and Gray
possibly feels that i should not invite
10 GEORGETOWN teams that would not
hind there just as gCr6 facilities as they
have at home. Ana in this connection
il might be well TO mention that Blue
sn6 Gray alumni Cpuld well osvote
;l1sir attention to building q good track
st GEORGETOWN and n 50 a much needed
gymnasium
GeoreetoS-n's tracE is not what 1t
should Be and its gymnasium is entirely
inadequate for Its ne IDS. With all Its
wealthy alumni IL world seem that some
kind Of an organization might be ef-
tecte6 70 raise rnoncy to take care OF
these needs No group OF alumni are
Il more ioval than thrt of Georgetown
ynd. If auproached - the risht wav
sn6 often enough. thst group probably
Il would give the Blu. and Gray just
What Il needs in thf way OF athletic
facilities on the Killtts.
