only university SOuth OF
~ the Mason-Dixon line that
plans to carry out a full
indoor track schedule this Win
ter. 1t is the intention of the
Hilltop authorities to enter their
athletes in the usual complement
of meets around New York and
Boston and take part in the in
door /. G. A. A. A. A. and A. A. U.
championship Catholic Univer-
Sity again will hold its annual
games, but its track team hardly
has any intention to compete gen.
orally in Northern meets.
Track athletics for the most part in
this section will be largely noctieably
by its absence. Virginia and Mary
land, which next to Georgetown have
had about the best teams in this sec
ton, do not plan anything elaborate
in the way of competition. In fact, it
may be that Maryland will do nothing
more than get in shape to take part
III Catholic US meet. North Carolina
early in March will hold the indoor
Southern Conference championships,
but it is unlikely that many schools
an the South Atlantic States will be
heavily represented.
Georgetown plans to get out its track
squad Thursday. Its practice will be
under the direction of Jimmy Multi
gan, many years ago star runner at
Georgetown, and later coach at both
Catholic University and Georgetown.
Mulligan is one Of the most experienced
men in the country in track sports and
will get about all out of Georgetown
material there is to be got
Up at Georgetown this morning II
was said that a team Of about the
average caliber of Georgetown track
teams probably would be turned out.
Just what kind of showing the squad
may make in the championship events
late in the Winter depends on so many
factors that little can now be said
about it, according to statements by
Eilltop authorities. 1t is expected that
a good relay quartet will be developed
and that several men in the indlVldual
events should do well.

Coach Gus Tebell has the ability TO

rT7HE committee appointed by the
Southern Conference to look into
the matter of employing tulltlme

the conference is almost being swampeo
with suggestions, and in many cases APP
plications, of men well fitted TO hanoie

fhe kind of lob that probably will seek
the man, as Il is not by any means
going to be an easy job. Actually, 1t Is
Unlikely that any definite action VIII be
taken before Summer. No defnlte
action can be taken until the confer

recommendation, but 1t will be in The
power of the conference to knock
galley west the whole scheme as may be
presented by the committee and DO
something entirely different.
TEORGETOWN and George Wash
~ ington go out on the basket ball
floor tonight to resume their
schedules The former tries conclu-
sions with Baltimore University in the
Tech High gymnasium at 8 o'clock and
the latter goes to Quantico to face the
Marines.
Both local schools feel they ought to
win but are in something Of quandary
as TO the kind of competition they may
have to face. Georgetown remembers
that Baltimore gave it real battle
wear ago and If the visitors are as strong
as they were then hard struggle may
be on the cards. George Washington
knows practically nothing about the
Marines, except that it has heard they
have an exceptional quint
THE only indoor track meet scheduled
i in this section, barring the indoor
championships at North Carolina,
which are closed, is that to be staged by
Catholic University. 1t is just too bad
that more opportunities for competition
are not offered Certainly track as
sport will never develop until there are
meets in which athletes may take part.
