DICK BRADLEY LONE
EXPERIENCED MAN
Squad of 30 Reports Today.
c. u. and A. u. in Basket
Tits Here Tonight.
BY H. c. BYRD.

n Coach Jimmy Mulligan
this afternoon for George
towns first 1884 track practice.
Plans are being made to make
entries in some of the big north
ern indoor meets during February
and also to take part in the in
door intercollegiates.
The squad that turns out today prob
ably will be the least experienced that
has represented Georgetown in many
years. 1t is said that Dick Bradley,
hurdler and foot ball halfback, is about
the only veteran runner available, ana
that the remainder of the team Will
have to be made up OF men with Vrtu-
ally no track experience.
Neither Coach Mulligan nor Graduate
Manager Gabe Murphy is very enthusl-
astic about the outlook. I'VE haven't
ANYBODY with real track experience.
except Bradley" says Murphy, and !
cannot say what we shall be able TO
do but we'll do the best we can is
Mulligan's opinion.
Present plans provide for the develop
ment of a relay team to be entered in
several of the Northern meets with the
possibility that two or three individuals
also will be sent to these competitions.
It also is the intention to arrange
schedule Tor the outdoor season, with
a view to the development of men to
send to the outdoor intercollegiate the
latter part of May. Two or three relay
teams also are to be entered in the
Pennsylvania relays the last Saturday
In April.
Coach Mulligan, we are in pretty mucn
the same position as last year. only we
probably do not have as many men with
experience. Naturally, it is Impossible
for anybody to foretell what we may
accomplish
Georgetown will carry only track and
basket ball through the Winter months,
but plans to have tennis and golf teams
in the Spring besides track and base
ball. Schedules for these sports now are
being worked out and will be announced
shortly. The schedule of the golf team
is TO consist largely of matches with
Yale, Harvard. Princeton, Dartmouth
and other members of the 1ntercol-
legiate League of which Georgetown Is
a member.
I'D HARDEGAN, Georgetown's star
basket ball forward, is not as
severely injured as was at first
thought and will be able to play Friday
and Saturday against Carnegie Tech
and West Virginia. At least, that Is
the medical advice he got as result
of a thorough examination and after
injuries he received in the Manhattan
game had responded rapidly to early
treatment
Hardegan was thrown heavily under
the basket up at Manhattan and got
severe shaking up and an injury to his
eye. However Graduate Manager Muir
ply says that the injury was entirely
the result of accidental play.
Hardegen is a brilliant forward and
last year was picked as one Of the
East's star players.
Catholic University's basket ball team
gets back on it's home floor tonight in
game with Western Maryland College:
The Brooklanders are looking for hard
Job but think they should win their fifth
straight if they play up to the standard
set in their games so far.
Coach Forrest Cotton probably Will
start the same team that he used in the
starting game against Duke.
American University also is on its
home floor tonight. with Hampden-
Sydney The Eagles recently lost in a
game at Hampden-Sydney. 20 to 10.
but feel there is a possibility they may
reverse that verdict.
Coach Walter Young is confronted
with the same kind of a proposition in
basket ball that he faced in foot ball
last season-green material.

ball team. Some people at Columbia,
and the student paper, criticized the
making of the trip to the West Coast.
but Columbia won. and it is source
of Wonderment as to whether or not
anything else that Columbia might have
done would have caused the alumni
living in Chicago to get together to give
a special banquet to the team as it laid
over in that city for the function. Or
whether $500 Columbians would have
turned out in New York to meet any
: other Columbia organization.
