~ drawing positions on the
track for relay races in
the University of Pennsylvania
games Friday and Saturday. In
four events the Blue and Gray
drew the pole twice, and usually
a school considers itself lucky if
it draws the pole once in three or
four years. Not one of the other
schools got pole position, and
only one other college in the
South Atlantic section, Johns
Hopkins, was that fortunate.
Not only does Georgetowns luck
seem good in the matter Of the pole
position in two Of four relays in which
it is entered, but list luck goes even
further in that it drew the pole in the
two events in which the pole counts
most. In the sprint medley champion
event Friday and in the one-mile inter-
collegiate championship on Saturday 1t
will start on the inside lane.
TN the sprint medley, Georgetown is
i scheduled to compete against Penn
State, which has the position next
to the pole, Northeastern, Ohio State,
Colgate New York University, Mich
igan State, Pittsburgh, Catholic Uni
Versity, Yale. Howard, Navy Harvard
Villanova, Manhattan, Princeton and
Dartmouth. In all probability all these
teams, while entered, will not compete.
Princeton has the position next to
Georgetown in the one-mile champion
ship race, with Harvard, Pittsburgh,
Colgate, Yale, Holy Cross, Indiana, New
York University and Pennsylvania
lining up on the track in the order
named. This is the event in which
Coach Jimmy Mulhgan said that he
might not allow his team to take part,
depending on the shape they are in
after running three other races.
In the quarter-mile and half-mile
relay championships, Georgetown won
positions far out from the pole, but
these do not signify much because all
are run in heats and in lanes.
Catholic University drew third posi-
ton in its race Inside of it on the
track will be Rider College, st. Johns
of Brooklyn, and outside. Michigan Nor
NAL, Ohio Wesleyan and Morris Harvey
From the caliber of teams it is to COM
pete against it would seem that the
Brooklanders have fair chance to win.
Some of the teams that entered at
might be expected, and it really is
rather difficult to foretell what kind of
opposition school may run up against.
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND got
~ fifth place in its event The Old
Liners will have on the pole in
their race Geneva College, and other
teams inside of it are Northeastern,
City College Of New York, Franklin and
Marshall. The only team farther out
on the track than Maryland is Man.
