relay team will be sent North

relay team will be sent North
to compete in at least two
meets this Winter, MillroSe
games February 2 and New York Ath-
letic Club affair about the middle Of
next month already being scheduled.
Besides the relay, two sprinters, Wild
myer and Ryan, are entered.
No opponents have been named Tor
the Old Liners for the MillroSe meet,
but Yale and Princeton are to face
the starting line against them in the
New York A. c. competitions.
Three members of last years relay
seem sure of their jobs again, no run
ner having been uncovered who ap-
pears good enough to OuSt Archer,
Sonen or Evans. The fourth berth
undoubtedly will go to Headley, who
last Spring as freshman lowered the
universitys half-mile mark, which for
merly was held by Joe EndsloW.
This is likely to be the fastest relay
the Old Liners have sent to New YORK
meets since Thomas, Matthews,
Sheriff, Whiteford and Endslow won
their way to the front against all kinds
of competition six or seven years ago
Coach Geary Eppley has had a big
squad working outson the new board
track, which is proving real aid to
Winter track practice. The track was
constructed last Fall and was a git
from the "M' Club. 1t is one OF the
best of its kind.
In speaking of track sports at
Maryland, it might be mentioned that
Coach Eppley expects to have the
strongest team that has ever been
turned out there. 1t is doubtful II
ever before the university had as many
good men for all events, and especially
is this true of the field competition,
where in the discus and Javelln new
university records are certain to be set.
Must WrestIe With Exams.
TOR the next week or 10 days the
II young men who represent local
universities on athletic teams will
be meeting their toughest foes-exam-
nations In order that the athletes
may give their individual attention to
overcoming such obstacles as calculus,
Greek and philosophy and so on, the
athletic directors thought the wise
course was to provide very little that
might divert their attentions from the
main objectiveS.
1t will be almost a barren week as
far as intercollegiate competition is
concerned, but if members of all teams
survive their rounds with the men who
test mental fitness, everybody will be
we'll satisfied.
~EORGETOWN'S basket ball team
" engages in only one game this
week, Carnegie Tech at the Tech
High School gymnasium Saturday
night. 1t will be another league con-
test, and the Blue and Gray hopes to
add another victory to that scored
over Bucknell last week
n TARYLAND'S lone contest this
lN week is a basket ball game
with Johns Hopkins Wednes-
day night. The Old Liners should get
the long end Of the count over their
old foe unless the latter shows a great
improvement over what it has done
so far this year.
TRIDAY night Catholic University
T plays its only basket ball game
of the week with Gallaudet.
Gallaudet has another game besides
this one, Baltimore University being
scheduled to come over here. Gal
laudet also has a wrestling meet with
the Naval Apprentice School at Nor
folk.
NORTH CAROLINA certainly took
q fall out of Navy in basket
ball Saturday, the score being
80 to 10. Bo Shepherd, who has been
coaching the Tarheels for several
years, apparently has the best team he
has ever developed. Shepherd was not
very optimistic as to his chances
against Navy, not after his star guard
was hurt against Maryland Friday
night. But the star guard, Nc
Cachren, played despite the cut he
got over his eye and held down the
Navy star, Borries
ID AY MORRISON, who is leaving
n Southern Methodist University
to take up the foot ball reins at
Vanderbilt, his alma mater, is among
the few foot ball coaches who have
enjoyed a long tenure of office in the
same institution. Morrison has coach
ed foot ball at Southern Methodist for
Is years and has a consistently good
record. He is expected to achieve
great things at Vanderbilt. He was
induced to take charge at Vanderbilt
by his old coach, Dan McGugin, who
this year steps down from a Job he
has held for 80 years as head coach at
that Snhnol
