V'V Association at Georgetown, May 13 and 14, indications are that team, which arrived here Saturday to will make a change or two in the varsity crew when it takes the times for permanent poSsession. stitution from its position of leade + this section. : Several schools have some stars who will cut heavily into first place points, but Virginia has too well rounded a team to leave any room for thinking that any other university more than an outside chance to win the meet. G. U. Has Two Big Stars. Georgetown, which won the indoor games, will be up against an entirely different proposition outdoors. In Connolly and LeGendre it has a pair who seem certain to capture first places in three or four events, but the Blue and Gray will have extreme difficulty mustering the other p necessary to give it a_victory. ‘ ginia Polytechnic Tnstitute and Vir- ginia Military Institute are going to bring good squads to Washington, possibly the best that have represe; them, but track and field -athletic in those two schools does not me ure to the standards of either Virginia or Georgetown. George Wa ngton and Catholic University cannot hope to cut much of a figure in the ev and a few outside points probably will be_their portion of the concrete results. Mary- land and_Hopk judged on their showing in meets last Saturday. the former having been defeated badiy by Washington and Lee in a dual affair, and the latter whipped outlandishly by Navy and Delaware in a triangular affair, may register a few points, but evidently both are woefully weak. = Tarkeels Have Good Men. ' North Carolina University and North Carolina_ State College, the other schools which are to be represented. have two or three capable men, but even with them to help split up the points it is difficult to see anything other than a victory for Pop Lani- gan’s young men. One man familiar with Virginia's track record this spring and who knows the caliber of rginia’s ath- letes said this morning: “Virginia has the best rounded track "MISS STIRLING BEATEN Loses Handicap Gold Match in England to Man—Miss Leitch Defeats Tolley. A April 18.—Miss Alexa Stirling, United States woman golf champion, who is entered in a majority of the n titular tournaments this season, made her first appearance on an English course today. Her golfing debut was made in connection with a special women-against-men match held at Stoke Poges and, although defeated by her male opponent, Miss Stirling’s play made a most favorable impression _among expert critics. who followed the American around the course. ' Miss Stirling drew R. H. Demont- morency as opponent, and under the rules of the contest received an extra stroke at alternate holes throughout the match, which Demontmorency won, 4 .up and 3 to play. In the same match Miss Cecil Leitch, British woman's championship holder from 1914 to 1920, defeated Cyril Tolley of Oxford University, British amateur ehampion 1920, by a score of 6 up and 4 to play. Tolley’s victory over Robert A, Gardner of the United States in an extra hole match in the champion- ship final last summer gives an idea of the caliber of his play. ‘Today’s victory by Mise Leitch verifies the impression that she will prove one of the most formidable opponents of Miss Stirling in the coming woman's *championship, to be played at Turn- ‘berry, Scotland, at the end of May. CARPENTIER WILL SAIL FOR THE U. S. ON MAY 4 NEW YORK, April 18—Georges Carpentier, European heavyweight champion, ‘who is to box Jack Demp- sey for the world’s title July 2. will sail for New York. May 4. This in- formation was received today by Pro- moter Tex Rickard in a cable mes- sage from Carpentier's manager, Descamps. - Descamps _stated that Carpentier and his party of trainers and spar- ing partners would sail on the Savoie and that the French pugilist already was In good physical condition. Six sweeks of training will send him into the ring in perfect shape for the most important contest of his ring career, according to his manager. INTERNATIONAL SHOOT TO BE HELD THIS YEAR PARIS, April 18. from fourteen countries, inci: the United States, have rganized here g Union, and ugust et reo: the International Shootin voted to hold matches in Ai the same time and place as the French nationa] tournament at Lyon. Requests for future tournaments ‘were presented by the United States, Italy, Spain end Portugal. It was decided to award the 1922 tourna- ment to Spain or Portugal $5,000 RACE TO SAILOR.

With the exception of Chamberlaine in the high jump, the team does not possess excepgional b the squad does no in_any event. Watch Virginia this meet again. Delaware Has Clever Trio. Delaware Collego has three stellar | track and field athletes in Booth, Har- mer and Betzmer. Booth is a_mile runner of exceptional ability, being capable of doing close to 4.20 when at his best. He was a star in the inter- allied games at Paris just after the war closed. Harmer was a fine quar- ter-miler and half-miler at West | Philadelphia High School and at Per-, kiomen Seminary before ecntering Delaware. While at Perkiomen he did the half mile several times around 157. Betzmer is a javelin thrower and shot putter. His work with the javelin is his best, as he can throw the slender weapon nearly 170 feet. Betzmer and Harmer both are good foot ball players, as well as the track. Delaware College is ; member of the South Atlantic L A. A. Two field events in the dual meet Saturday between Washington and Lee and University of Maryland were won with rather mediocre perform- ances. The shot-put was captured by a heave of only 33 feet some inches, and the running broad jump resulted in a mark of only 18 feet 8 inches. For the first _time in years all five local colleges will send track teams to the Pennsylvania relay games Georgetown, Gallaudet, George Wa: ington, Catholic University and Un versity of Maryland will be repre- sented in the relays and probably two or three in the events for individual Georgetown, George Washington, Catholic University and Maryland are to take part in the relay race for the championship of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate A. A., and Gallaudet is to run in one of the Independent classes. LISTS HARVARD NETMEN Chevy Cha:: Club Team to Engage Crimson Players Here Thurs- day Afternoon.

Goullieux is one of the best haif-milers in France, and Biget, the fifth member of the squad, is among the fastest middie distance runners. i France will not be represented in the two-mile race as had been ex- pected. De Nys could not get ex- cused from military service and no other high-class distance runner was available. LOOMIS TO COMPETE. PHILADELPHIA. Pa. April 18.— Frank Loomis, Olympic champion quarter-mile hurdler, will compete at the second annual American Legion field day on Franklin Field June 4. Loomis, who was defeated at last year's meet in the 220-yard low hurdles event by Barron of Pennsyl- vania State, has requested that a quarter-mile hurdle race be added to this season’s program.
