y team goes to New York
~ today to run against Holy
Cross tonight in the New
York Athletic Club games, one OF
the three remaining indoor meets
in which the local school is to take
part. Twice this year has the Blue
and Gray met the New EnGlanders
and once has it wen and once lost
Tonight's event seems to be mat
Ter of more than ordinary interest
in that each team has a chance to
get a margin over the other.
The Georgetown-Holy Cross race has
for years been one of the features of
the N. Y. A. C. meet, and it nearly
always has been a nip-and-tuck affair
and the fastest of the night
After the meet tonight, the two
events in which Georgetown will take
part are the intercollegiate March Z
and in the knights of Columbus
games March IA. 1t was the intention
OF the K. of C. organization not to
hold its indoor meet this year, but at
meeting last Friday the conclusion
ule it again. And after that the New
Workers lost no time gstting in touch
with Georgetown to make sure of its
entry.
The same four men, Burke, Mara,
Carlin and Kelly, are making the trip
to New York tonight. And they fesl
they have just about an even chance
and so does Coach O'Reilly. And by
the way, O'Reilly is fairly we'll satisfied
with the chnuvinO hic
so far this year. He feels that, with
the material he has, which is not Jas
good as he has had in some former
seasons by any means, his men have
come through just about as well as
could have been expected.
1t was O'Reillys intention to take
Bonniwell, his high jumper, to New
York. but that athlete received bad
cut from spike In the meet at West
Virginia Saturday night and is not in
shape to compete.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY entertains
~ Loyola College of Baltimore In a
basket ball game tonight in the
Brookland gymnasium. The local
oulnt Is likely to be up against it good
and hard, as LOyola has an exceptional
combination. The chances sexm very
much against Catholic University. It

than 1t has been playing or take a
rather decisive whipping. The game
Is to begin at $3.50 o'clock.
Local colleges had little success in
their invasion of the Pittsburgh district
last week. OF the seven games played
only one resulted in victory, that won
by American University over Salem Col
lege. Catholic University went down
before Duquesne and Geneva, while
George Washington got the short end
CT the score in its encounters with West
Virginia, Duquesne and Carnegie Tech.
American University also lost to Car
negie Tech.
THE announcement that Harvard and
i Princeton have resumed relation
ships in athletics will give consider
able satisfaction to followers of both
universities. At the time of the break.
which came shortly after a foot ball
game which occasicned some unfor-
tunate remarks by a Harvard publica-
ton, alumni everywhere expressed their
regret 1t seems that foot ball games
are not to be resumed as yet, for some
unannounced reason. but the general
expectation is that they will be within
the next two or three years, probably
in 1888.
Catholic University's boxing team did
itself proud at Bucknell Saturday night.
It is doubtful If even each Eddie
La Fond thought his men would do as
we'll as tie the Pennsylvanians, and
that they did come back with an even
break speaks we'll not only fer them,
but fer the coach as we'll.
IF, as a newspaper report indicates,
i a charity foot ball game in the Fai
West last Fall took in $65.000, yet
when the affairs of the game were
wound up. yielded a net of only 81 900
then somebody connected with the
charitable part Of that enterprise ought
to demand an accounting of all funds
That is such an unusual result that
the public which expended SIS ZOO in
the belief that 1t was a charitable en-
terprise are entitled to know for what
the money was expended, If only 81 900
actually was turned in as the net re-
ceipts. Foot ball games for charity
were beginning to get a black eye be-
fore last Fall, but in the future 1t is
unlikely that many college and uni
versities will lend themselves to that
type Of competition.
An unfortunate situation has de-
veloped between George Washing on
University and Catholic University.
1t seems that, while Catholic Uni
versity had the impression that the
foot ball game for next Fall was
simply a matter of determining whether
or not 1t would be played on Thanks
giving day, the Saturday before Thanks
giving, as day or night game, George
WaShington's Athletic Council held a
meeting and decided not to play Catho-
lie University at all That probably
would have been all right with Catholic
u, but it seems that in one way or
another the story leaked to a news
paper and the publication of the story
was the way Catholic University got
the news that such a decision had been
reached. That has not left the Brook
land school feeling very pleasantly
about the situation. officials of the two
schools apparently are not inclined 10
