~ games in Madison Square
Garden, New York, a
week from tomorrow night. When
It began practice, the Blue and
Gray had little thought that it
would make any entries in indoor
track meets this Winter, except
to send Al Kelley to take part in
sprint races, but the team has
come along better than expected
and the opportunity to compete
was grasped without hesitation.
According to present information,
Georgetown's opponents in the race will
be New Hampshire State College, Villa
nova and Northeastern University On
the face of it these schools do not
measure up to the kind of competition
Georgetown relay teams in previous
years have been entering. but, on the
other hand. Georgetown does not have
that kind OF team this year. Then,
too, there may be more competition in
thls group than ordinarily might be
looked for. Vlllanova, for instance, last
season had a great freshman four, and
II those men are now in uniform as
varsity runners, then the race is al
most as good as won.
Al Kelley will be in the meet in the
sprint event, but also will be a member
OF the relay. probably to run as lead
of man. Kelley is one of the two or
three fastest sprinters in the East, but
has had no experience running the
nl12rtpr mile
Mulllgan says that any man big and
last can run quarter if he really
buckles down and tries.
We are not going to send to New
York team such as has worn George
town colors the last 10 years. as we
simply do not have the runners" said
Coach Mulligan, but we are beginning
to build from the ground up, and what
ever We develop this season will be so
much done in preparation for next year.
don't know what our team may do,
as We shall not have trials until Sun
day or Monday. but possibly it may get
down as low as 3:34, which is some
thing like II or more seconds more than
Georgetown teams have done the mile
at the Garden. I don't know who will
be on the team. except that Kelley is
pretty certain to make it if he runs
anywhere near as well as he is capable
OF running. While we may not-prob-
ably Will not-Win, I welcome the op-
portunlty to throw our men into formal
competition, as that is the best way of
developing them and giving them ex-
perlence l know anything Of"
MARYLAND'S basket ball team tits
W with Navy tomorrow at Annapolis.
The Old Liners, rebuffed by Catho-
hc University Wednesday night, may be
IN sterner humor to face Navy than
II they had won from the Brooklanders
Maryland played good basket ball
against c. u, but simply did not stand
the gaff when it came to rough, hard
play in the second half. And this is
a failing the Old Liners will have to
rectify before tomorrow afternoon, be-
cause nobody has ever accused Navy
teams of being of the pink tea kind
However, Maryland may put up bet
ter basket ball game against the Mid
shipmen than the latter look for. Any
way, if the game measures up to games
between Navy and Maryland in recent
years, it will be a nip-and-tuck struggle,
with very little margin for the victor.
Maryland and Navy have broken even
at four-all in the eight games they have
played in as many years, but the Old
Liners have won three out of the last
four.
Ali games except last years were
played at Annapolis. Visiting College
Park last January to help dedicate
Ritchie Coliseum, Navy was defeated,
26 to Is.
