well will be in the high jump and
Sexton and Bill Slezak will take
part in the hammer throw, shot
put and discus.
The return of Wildermuth to
the races is a cause for both joy
and misgiving lest the injured leg
which has kept him out of com.
petition since mid-January again
give out on him. In a trial run
yesterday Wildermuth cut loose
in impressive fashion without
favoring his injured leg at all.
This test satisfied Coach O'Reilly
that his little f1ier is o. K, but
too much can't be expected of
him on account of the long lay
off. Besides this George Simpson,
Ed Farmer and other stars who
have been in training will be his
opponents.
The quartet of Jim Kelly,
Victor Burke, Chuck Carlin and
Art Briggs will appear in both
the sprint medley and mile relay
races for the Blue and Gray. All
are in tip-top condition. Last
year this team won the freshman
mile relay in 1928 and with added
experience and development may
be counted upon to render an
excellent account of themselves.
The two-mile G. U. team
will be composed Of Jay
Julicher, Louis Ricca, Jack
Mara and Jack Downing.
This quartet ought to be
among the first five At the
finish.
Maryland's mile relay team,
which competed in the champion.
ship race last year and was u11-
placed, runs Saturday against
: DePauw, william and Mary,
Union, Bucknell and Fordham.

last year and If they can beat
Fordham ought to win the race.
The team is made up Of Urban
Linzey, either Dick White or
Claude Smith, Bob Remsburg and
Bill Kinnamon.
Besides the one-mile team
Maryland also will be represented
by Bill Kinnamon in the 400
meter hurdles and by Dick White
in the hop, step and jump event.

will compete. They will run at
2:40 Saturday. while Maryland's
team will run at 3 o'clock the
same day. Georgetown's relay
teams will compete only in the

are run Saturday. .'..
Central makes its bid for fame
tomorrow when its quartet of
James Reilly, Larry Pinckney,
Bill Ditzler and Paul Hinkle runs
in the quarter.nile scholastic
championship race.
The Mt. Pleasant team will
stack up against the best
school boys in the East in
this race, but Coach Foley
has a speedy bunch, and with
good racing luck the team
stands an excellent chance of
doing something big.
