With the best schedule he has ever
had, Coach Griffith believes that he
has IN sight the beginning of track
success at c. U. GKifith right now Is
working not so much with the idea Of
winning meets as to stir up sufficient
interest in track to get out squad big
enough to give him some hope for
the future. What Griffith says:
Pleased With Schedule.
1--WE have the best track schedule
that c. u. has ever made UP, and ]
elieve 1t should enable US to DO some
hing worth while on the cinder path.
ur main trouble out here has been
rat we have never had out enough men
work with, which has been due in
small measure to the fact that we
ave never had a real schedule and,
consequently, very little competition.
Athletes do not like to 60 out and
train unless they have some incentive
belyond the values they get out Of such
WORK They want competition. You'd
have swell time keeping foot ball
SQUAD out all Fall, no matter how val
uaiole foot bali training might be, were
it not for that game every Saturday
afternoon. The same thing holds good
for track, and the fact that the uni
veIsity has allowed us to arrange a
gold schedule, believe, Is going to be
q ibig factor in helping Us put track
aNhletics on the map out here"
Another thing that Griffith has IN
mitnd right now is the development OF
q hood team to help build up Catholic
U.S own indoor meet in March: The
Brboklanders some years ago held a
successful set Of indoor games, but Tor
sokne reason dropped the whole scheme
N1w Grifith is bringing back the idea.
The meet was started last year and
met with considerable success. It Is
EXPECTED to be more important this
winter, and Grifath expects to build
it Into one Of the most successful local
athletic events Of future years. He
deserves success and support In his
effoAt, because a good indoor meet Is
badly needed in this section.
catholic University and American
University open up the week IN college
basket ball with game tomorrow night
at Brookland It will be the third OF
the season in which two local nves
have figured, Catholic q. and George
Washington having taken part In one
of the two already played and Ameri-
can university and Gallaudet in the
other. Catholic o. defeated q. w. and
American U. won from Gallaudet, so
the meeting tomorrow ought to be rtght
interesting, especially from partisan
point Of view. Followers Of both schools
are likely to be on hand in force.
Washington and Lee, originally
scheduled to play here tomorrow nlgnt
with the University Of Maryland, WILL
not remain over on account Of exarni-
nations. The game has been postponed
to February and will be played at
College Park on that date. Washing
ton and Lee also has shifted one OF It's
two boxing dates with Maryland, Feb
Tuary % 70 February IT,
Georgetown has two games this week,
one Wednesday on its own floor and the
other Saturday away. Mount st. Mary's
is to be the Blue and Gray hrst OPP
ponent, and may give the local fve all
the fight it Is looking for. The game
is scheduled for the Tech High gym.
Georgetown's other contest Is with New
York University at New York, and
basket bah is a sport In which the
Gotharnites always have done well
They were good in basket ball long
before they ever had a foot ball team
that was better than mediocre.
MARYLAND has the first Of its two
games with Hopkins this coming Thurs
day. The Old Liners go 70 Baltimore
where the game will be played in the
about the best quint that has ever rep
resented it, at least in recent years
Anyway, 1t has been playing good bas-
ket ball against some strong fves.
George Washington and Gallaude'
each has one game this week. The
former entertains Randoipf-Macon or
the local floor Tuesday night, while
Gallaudet goes to TowSon Friday Il
meet Maryland State Normal. George
Washington beat Randolph Macon al

Normal School last week by American

may expect very little competition.
Navy has what it considers one Of it,

not been showing any great strength

games. The G2uakers probably arr

on two games.
