Ahern's real purpose in getting
these men, however. Is to prepare
the red and white for. the future
and it will be largely with this
thought In mind that he enters
a sizable contingent In the inter-
high and Central C Club meets.
"Of course we want to do all
we can this spring" he admitted
this morning, but it's no easy
task bringing around a track
squad on such short notice.
I'm mainly interested in a
flock of up-and coming young
sters who can represent US in
future years when we have our
athletic field. For this reason
many freshman and sophomore
candidates will get plenty Of my
attention when the actual drill

Ahern today announced that
he had no thought Of putting a
representative in indoor meets,
but would enter his men in the
C Club and interhigh games and
possibly others. He Is well pleased
with the spirit shown by his
charges and believes that West
ern, within the next several years,
will be in a position to dispute

Ahern's attitude will be shared
by many when the Georgetown

with one victory apiece are to

Western retains two important
holdovers from last year in

in there despite a weak ankle,
