John O'Reilly thinks il : men Will nave
a GOOD chance in relays and also IN tilc
events in which they are entered as

Georcetown's opponents in the relay
race will be New Hampshire State Cor

Of Vale. Holy Gross ran against new

Georgetown was anxious to arrange
q second race with New York UniVer-
sety but was unable TO do so because
Of The lack of desire on the part OF
fhe latter. II seems that having won
the first race by scant yard the Goth
antics did not have any particular
hankering after another setto with the
Blue and Gray.

other race.
Virginia. incidentally. has an excep-
tionaIly fast team this year. and II may
be that il win spring the surprise OF
the meet. II has In Robinson especial
IL one of the greatest middle distance
men IN the country.
Remsberg. the new man on the Mafy-
lard four. has never ran IN a quarter
mile race. He was a half-miler IN nien
school and also on the Maryland fresh
man team last year. He bids fair TO de-
velop into a capable performer.
