In the varsity event, the Naval Academy {is likely to meet only the University of Pennsylvania. While a representative Pennsylvania crew was defeated by Princeton and Columbia in the Child's cup race, the Midship- n will meet an undefeated eight, the crew which won from Harvard and Yale was not selected for the Child’s cup race. Members of the Naval Academy orew stated after the race with Syracuse Saturday that the latter had put up & splendid race and that they had to row much harder to win than against Prinoeton.

Georgetown so far has not been beaten by a college team, Its only setback being the 5-3 defeat infiicted by the Nationals. Just how much track and fleld ath- letics in the south Atlantic section have progressed may be realized by a consideration of one or two of the events run recently in the champion- ship meet at Charlottesville. In the broad jump, for instance, the record three years ago was twenty-one feet and some Inches, yet in the meet last | week. when six men were qualifying for the final, a man who jumped twenty- { two feet ‘one inch did not qualify. Three years ago 150 feet was an exceptionally long throw for the javelin, yet at Char- lottesville a throw of well over 160 feet got fifth place. Barker of Virginia prior 10 last week was the only man who had ever put the shot more than forty feet, vet two men last Saturday sent the brass sphere more than forty-three feet. Only three times in the history of the South Atlantic I A. A. championships. prior to last Saturday, had the 100-yard dash been done in ten seconds, yet two men then covered the distance in that figure in separate heats of the trials. To run a quarter-mile in 4fty-one sec- onds has been an exceptional feat for south Atlantic men, but there were five men in the 340 in the meet at Virginia who_could do better than that—Wood- ward of V. P. 1, Bohannon and Baker | of Virginia, Kinally of Georgetown. and Hurlihy of Georgetown. And what was true of the events mentioned also held £ood for most of the other competitions. In every event were entered more capable athictes than have ever been known in any two or three meets combined, and the south Atlantic sec- tion never experienced such brilliant competition or such excellent per- formances as took place on the Vir- ginia track last week. Among the mortherm college base | ball teams are four or five men who | stand out head and shoulders above all others. At Harvard there is Con- lin, shortstop, who is brilliant in jeverything that goes to make a good | man: at Holy Cross are Gagnon and McGuire, at short and second: at Yale !is Aldrich, shortstop: at Lafayette is | Gazella, at third, and at the Army is Storck, another third sacker.
