BY H. C. BYRD.

- GEORGETOWN and Mary
land begin today to put
the finishing touches on
their y &c m In
preparation for big Northern in
door meets this week. Both
schools also are to enter men in
individual events, but chief inter
est is sure to center around the
performances of their teams in
relay races. Georgetown is to
have its relay and several indi-
vidualS in all four of the biggest
Eastern meets, while Maryland
will be in two, possibly three.
The first meet comes Saturday night
in New York under the auspices OF the
MillroSe Athletic Association. The fol-
lowing Wednesday night the Meadow
brook is to be held In Philadelphia, and
on Saturday, February Is, the Boston
A. A. games are to take place in Boston.
The New York Athletic Club meet is
scheduled the Monday night after the
Boston affair.
Georgetown is to have its mile and
two-mile relay fours in the Millrose,
Meadowbrook and New York A. C..
meets, and only its two-mile four in the
Boston games. Maryland Is entered in
titions. It is understood that Mary
land is to run against Harvard and
PENNSYLVANIA at New York, and against
Navy and Philadelphia. Georgetown's
opponents have not yet been announced.
1t was stated at Georgetown this
morning that two mainStays of the relay
team may not be able to compete be-
cause of difficulties in scholastic work
Milstead and Cranley are said to be on
the ragged edge, with just fair chance
that they may pull through. Both are
seniors, and Milstead is captain of the
team.
West Virginia's basket ball team comes
here tonight to give Georgetown a
chance to even up for the defeat the lat
ter suffered at Morgentown some time
ago. The West Viginians took the meas
ure of the Blue and Gray earlier in the
season, and do not seem to have lost
any of their strength since that time.
Last week, the game tonight between
washington and Lee and Maryland
doomed up as one of the greatest Of the
year, but the former took a beating
Saturday night at the hands of West
Virginia. and Maryland also got whipped
by North Carolina State. Washington
and Lee had won seven straight prior
to its defeat at West Virginia

gymnasium, while the one between
Washington and Lee and Maryland is
at College Park. Both are to begin at
8 O'Clock.
Washington and Lee was not the only
quint stopped Saturday night, as SYRIA
cuSe put quietus on Pittsburgh. The
Smoky City five had been travelling at
rapid pace since the last half of last
year, and had won 10 straight games.
The Pitt five had won IL straight this
year, but was stumped by Syracuse by
quite fair margin.
Dopson, a Washington College for
ward. in game his team played with
Drexel Institute Saturday night scored
"a points. He Gagged nine goals from
the floor for Is points and got the other
from the foul line That seems to be
about record for college player, for
this year, at least.
Shortly after the Christmas holidays
It was stated In this column that Iowa
was almost certain to be taken back
into the Western Conference at an early
date, much earlier than was generally
anticipated The whole situation at
Iowa has conferred around the question
of faculty control of athletics, as it is
not a secret that outside influences
exerted tremendous power in Iowa
sports, possibly more power than the
faculty committee
During the holidays it was learned
that the situation was clearing to such
an extent that the whole matter would
be settled within a few weeks. A story
was printed to that effect, and the pre-
diction made at that time was borne
out by the announcement of last Satllr-
day that relationships with Iowa would
be resumed Immediately by the other
Western Conference institutions.
