4 athletes for the team which is
TO represent the United States
in the Oly,npics next Summer George
town heads the list with four men who
will be in the running. With excellent
possibilities, while Virginia, Virginia
Polytechnic Institute. North Carolina
and Maryland also have men who may
make good.
Wiesner in the pole vault, Adelman
In the shot. Hines in the jaNelin and
Wildermuth III the SprintS are the men

Virginia Has Trio.
Down at Virginia there are three
men who are very good. Fippln IN the
all-around championships, Robinson in
the half mile and Cumming in the
SprintS. especially in the 220-yard dash.
Fl.ppin won the championships last
Summer while representing the New
ark Athletic Club. Cumming has
achieved some remarkable fast times in
the 100 and 900. but is not SO good at
shorter distances indoors. Robinson is
a rangy young fellow who is a conner in
any distance from quarter to the mile
and will come near making good in
any event between those distances for
which he may be properly trained.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute posses
ses an exceptional discus thrower III
Lund. and undoubtedly he will take
part in the tryoutS. If he does his best
and shows any improvement at all over
las: year he should be among the first
rankers.
North Carolina has in Elliott perhaps
the best collegiate miller in the country,
and perhaps he has as great possibilities
as any man. Lloyd Hahn excepted.
Two Old Lines Speedy.
Out at University of Maryland are
two men who have a chance in the
quarter miller, Thomas and Matthews
Both are likely to do better than 40
seconds before the end of the Spring.
and any man who can clip that figure
has a chance 10 beat anybody any time
and anywhere. In competition Mat
thews has done the quarter in so sec
onds. without training especially for
that event. while Thomas has covered
the distance in aga, seconds, and both
seem to be running better now than
at any previous time.
It Is doubtful If at any previous time
IN its whole track history South Atlantic
section has had as many good track
athletes as now are wearing the co!or5
of their respective schools. Other In
stitutions also have capable men. those
mentioned being just few who seem
70 stand way out above the others.
George Washington baskcters. who
lost 2T-to-26 feartbreaker to Wake
Forest Saturday night, will strive to get

Davis Elkins. to be entertained IN the
Coloniais' gymnasium at $3.50 o'clock.

1ege CUNTS and the last for local floor
