HOYAS MAKING BID
IN FOUR CONTESTS
Enter 3 Relays, Musante in
Shotput-Terps Sending
Widmyer, Quartet.
BY H. c. BYRD.


IL dividuals, Georgetown will
send three relay teams and
Maryland one to the Penn relays
at Philadelphia Saturday.
Georgetown has entered a quar-
ter-mile team, each man to run
ITO yards; half mile team, each
man to run 220 yards, and fresh
man four to run a mile. Its en-
try in an event for individuals is
Musante in the hammer throw.
Maryland is to be represented by
mile team in the relays and by Wild
myer in the individual events Wild
myer Is to compete in the 100-yard
special.
A good deal Of the showing George
town may make depends on Kelly, who
has been suffering for some time with
an injured leg. This injury was ag-
gravated in the dual meet with North
Carolina some time ago. If Kelly can
run MS normal race in the two sprint
relays, Georgetown has a fair chance,
but If he is not able to do that, then
there Is not much to hope for. The
quarter mile relay is to be run tomor-
row and the half-mile Saturday.
CEORGETOWN has a fairly good
" freshman four entered in the
championship race for freshman
teams. One member of the quartet can
90 the distance in about 81 seconds,
but the others are not that good Mu-
sante Is not inexperienced in the ham,
mer throw, although he has not done
as much in that event as some of the
men he will be against. He came from
st. AnSelm's Academy and while there
OF New England in his event.
Georgetown's quarter-mile team will
be made up of Kelly, Bradley, Larkin
and Smith. Its $50 team will be Kelly,
Bradley, Smith and Di Pasqualie
Three certain members of the Fresh
man four are McNeill, Gallagher and
Keans, with the fourth member to be
picked after a time trial between
Quincy and Connolly.
Maryland is luckier than George
town in that it has drawn the pole,
very favored position. The Old Liners
will not pick the four men who are
to run until late this afternoon, when
time trials are to be held. Evans and
Archer are certain to be on the team,
with the other two to be picked from
Sonen, Cronin and Quinn Maryland
stands the best chance to win at Penn
that it has had in years.
VLIIDMYER in the 1oO-yard dash
w seems to have about as good a
chance as any other runner to fin
ish first. There may be some man in
the colleges in the East who can beat
him, but it is doubtful. If two or three of
the fastest Middle Western or Far West
ern runners come East, which seems un-
likely, that will make another story Bell
of Massachusetts, Tech beat Widmyer in
a 60-yard dash indoors during the Win
ter season, but it is said that he is not
so good at the longer distance Anyway,
any runner who beats the Marylander
will have to step down the course at a
lively gait.
Year in and year out there probably
is no more attractive thing in the coun-
try in the way of track meet than the
Penn relays. And year in and year out
it probably is the most successful of
meets. No matter what the conditions,
war or peace, plenty or panic. apparently
there is sufficient attraction in the Penn
games for the colleges and schools to
make desperate attempts to get there.
And they usually do. Over an average
of the last 25 years there probably have
been more entrants and greater crowds
at the Penn games than at any other
meet.
THE District of Columbia Amateur
i Athletic Union is to hold its an
nual championships May 80 on the
University of Maryland track. The
