Southern Conference indoor cham
pionships. The meet is under the
auspices of the University Of North
Carolina and besides the Conference
titular events there are held each year
several for those colleges and uni
versities that are not members Of the
conference. It Is in these latter that
Georgetown is to take part.
The Blue and Gray expects to win
the relay race for freshman teams,
and with every reason. No other first
year group in this section seems to
be even close to the Hilltoppers.
Hanks and Brown are stars, while
Hogue and Shuker also are exception
ally good. Unless somebody springs
. big surprise Georgetown has this
event in the bag
Besides the freshman relay, George
town will be represented by its varsity
four and by Cadell Shipman In the
high jump. The varsity relay Is not
as fast as the freshman, but still
should stand an excellent chance to
win, because so far as is known, none
Of the other colleges has a very fast
combination. Shipman should show
well in the high Jump if he goes his
usual height, which Is around feet
2 inches.
Three Terps in Sprint.
Maryland will have three men In
the e0-yard dash, which will be led by
Widmyer; the other two are Ryan
and Sonen. In the 70-yard low hur-
dies the Old Liners are to be repre-
sented by Boucher. Slye and Beers,
while in the 70-yard high hurdles
Slye and Beers carry their colors.
In the 440-yard dash, Evans and
Sonen are entered. with Headley and
Franklin both in the mile and half mile.
1t is unlikely that Headley will run
both these events, as he also is slated
to hold down one leg Of the relay race.
1t may be that the Marylanders will
throw surprise into somebody's cal
culations in the pole vault, as Drake
has been doing around u feet.
Whether or not jumping indoors will
affect him very much Is a question.
Beers and Boucher are the Maryland
entries in the high jump and Beers
and Slye in the broad jump.
The Maryland relay four is good
enough to win against any competi-
ton 1t will face, apparently, if the
members of the team recuperate rap
idly enough after other races.
In former years in the Southern
Conference, in outdoor meets, Vir-
ginia was outstanding. but recently
Duke and North Carolina have held
sway. This year 1t seems that Mary
land may have a chance, as it should
have under its colors the best squad
in its history.
TT BEGINS to seem that Jimmy Null
ligan will give. back to George
town some Of its old-time glory
on the track. This year the old
Georgetown star, who was great in
the days when Georgetown was su-
preme in many events, has a relay
four in which is the nucleus for a
great varsity team.
In the meets in 1885 it will take a
mighty good four to take the measure
Of the local university. Mulligan is
. capable track coach, and as a
trainer Of men for the quarter mile
has no superior. The way he de-
velops men for that distance is some
what unorthodox, but gets results,
and has gotten results in past years so
consistently as to leave no doubt about
Its worth.
EORGE DARLEY is slated to be
" foot ball coach at Johns HOPKINS
next Fall. barley has been as
sistant to Ray Van Orman for seeeral
years and is expected to take charge
OF the squad at the beginning of prac-
tice In September. barley is an in
telligent chap, resourceful, and should
make good.
Hopkins plans a much abbreviated
foot ball schedule next Fall, one In
which 1t will meet only teams against
which it appears to have an even
chance to win.
DERNIE BUSCHER must be q right
ID valuable young man to the
Maryland basket ball team. If a
comparison Of its performance last
night against Hopkins and against st.
Johns Saturday night is any criterion
With Buscher last night the Old Line
hve simply broke down Hopkins
completely.
Saturday night without Buscher the
team could not have been worse. It
gave about the sorriest exhibition
imaginable. Marylanders ought to
hope that Buscher will not again get
hurt If they expect to stand much
chance against Georgetown's quint
next Monday night in the final game
Of the season for both schools.
A GOOD deal of comment has been
n occasioned by the final bout of
the Army-Maryland boxing meet
last week. Many thought that Army
should have had draw. especially in
view Of the fact that Maryland had
been given a draw In the previous
bout because Of fouls by the Army
boxer.
Everybody knew that Birckland had
outpointed and beaten Stillman in the
heavyweight bout, but everybody also
knew that Birckland had fouled the
Army man by holding his arms. What
everybody did not know. though. was
that Stillman also had committed fouls
by making more or less derogatory re-
marks to Birckland, which, under the
rules, are Just as much fouls as hold
ing. From q referees cold analysis of
the bout, under the circumstances,
there was nothing to do but give the
bout to Birckland.
However, the attitude Of the Mary
land man in the ring was anything
but 1audable. and it was this that
caused sentiment against him. Brick
land became angry, lost his head and
indulged in antics for which there was
no excuse. That was unusual, too. be-
cause he actually is such q mild
hammered chap with good disposition
that he usually is too self contained.
