FIVE MEETS
PAINTERS
BY GARRETT WATERS

Washingtons most entertaining
athletic event of the winter season
gets under way tonight at Cath
olic University, when the fourth
annual Catholic University in
door track meet is offered.
The meet, one of the largest Of
it's kind, will present outstanding
track stars of the East, ranging
from Earl Widmyer, local luni-
nary representing Maryland Uni
verSity, to carloads of performers
unfolding honors from Navy, Vir"
ginia, Penn State, Villanova, La
Sale, New York University and
many, many others, not excluding
host of track stars from scho-
lastic ranks, both local and out Of
town.
Gun at P. M.
The actual starting time of the
meet is 8 p. m. BY that hour the
large attendance expected will
have settled itself comfortably
into the newly erected seats,
ready for Starter Thomas Probey'S
gun to commence the first event.
From then on the evening will
develop into a general round Of
eye-gaping spectacles, including re-
lay races, high and low hurdles,
distance runs, Sprints and what
have-you.
This great indoor event will
not be the only attraction ON
what could be called tonights
all-Star caro-.
A basketball game is on tap
at the Tech gymnasium at 8:45
p. M, featuring Georgetown Uni
versity and Pitt Panther fiveS.
This contest will bring the sup
posed best basketball team in
the country here in the Pitt
team-a collection of performers
who have waded through the
well-known Eastern Intercol-
legiate Conference with ease, ana
team which has scored two
impressive victories over pow.
erful Notre Dame five.
Georgetown's big interest dur
ing the lively action expected
will be Ed Hargaden. This lad
will either enhance or ruin the
opportunity that is before him
to become an All-American mem
ton by his performance and
every Hoya supporter will be
pulling for his best form, both
from a scoring and floor playing
standpoint.
Fits Lineup
Pitt will present it's familiar
line of FL Hughes and Don Me-
Camant, forwards: Russ Ochsen"
hirt and Charlie Hughes, guards
and Claire CRIBS, center, who
is sure to win All-Amerlcan rec
ignition this year.
Two other basketball games
will balance the court end OF
tonight's card and they list
George washington against Wash
ington and Lee at the G. w.
gymnasium at 8 o'clock. and
American University against ST.
Johns, of Annapolis at Annapolis
Md.
Now, that track meet at Cath.
olic University. Nobody has tried
to figure which team will gather
the most number of points TO
win, as so many crack athletes
will be in competition.
It's very easy to say, however.
that Navy, Maryland and Cath
olic University will be we'll
among the leaders because OF
their representation Of full teams.
Of the many events on pro
gram, one of particular interest
to local fans will be the two
thirds mile club relay race for
organizations in and around
washington.
Three to Compete
Three of these clubs will com"
pete, two from the District.
the Central Y. M. C. A. ana
the washington Track and Field
Club-and the MeadoWorook
Club, of Philadelphia.
The latter won the event in 1889
and set a record at 2:26.6. Nat-
urally this makes the Phlladel-
phians the favorite to win. But
the two local organizations are ex'
pected to offer little competl-
ton due to their improved form
since 1882.
The two feature events of the
entire meet will be the Ryan l 900
and the Abbey so. Track stars
from all over the East will COM
pete in these races, including
Coleman Headley, Maryland Uni
versity; Bob Conner, Catholic
University; George Harvey, Penn
State, and James (Jumbo) Elliott,
Villanova, in the Ryan 1000; and
Ed Quinn, Maryland; Joe Frnster.
macher, Villanova; Jim Patterson
Navy; Earl Widmyer, Maryland,
and E. Dodson, jr., of Virginia, in
the Abbey so.
It's going to be good, all It It.
Catholic University chieftainS see
it this way at any rate.
