WEXTY-FOUR athletes sporti ng the red and blue of Pennsylvania arc coming to Washington for the big track and field carnival to be conducted by Georgetown night, and they promise to make a at Convention Hall next Wednesday stirring bid for point honors. Many of the young men due from the Quaker city are of national and interna- . tional fame, and that means that the representatives of Princeton, Navy, Virginia, Georgetown and other institutions wiil have to step lively if they are to prevent the Pennsylvanians sight. from grabbing about every trophy in The most brilliant luminary of the Red and Blue is Boots Lever, na- tional 60-yard champion, and one of the best in the country in the dashes. As au all-around sprinter, Lever may be classed with McAllister, Wefers and Farrell, all of whom he will encounter at the Hilltop games. George Meredith, brother of the world-famous Ted, will be in the Penn delegation. He was a member of the iwo-mile relay team that set a world vecord at the Penn al last April and will appear with McLane, Head and McMullen, a Penn trio that be- onged to the four-mile relay team hat Invaded Fngland last year, in a two-mile relay race here. The quar- tet also is entered in several of the open events. Thurman to Perform. John C. Thurman, a Washington boy, selected by Walter Camp for hix mythical all-America eleven last fall. will represent Pennsylvania in the shot-put. Another Penn foot ball star who will compete wita the welghts is Tex Hemer. gridiron team captain- elect.

Martin, Powers and inster are slated for the hurdles, J-auceit and Casson for the high jump and Woodside, Owen, Stewart and Sherril for the pole vault. Penn always has possessed one of ! the best track and fleld outfits in the country and this year is as well equipped s ever. 1t seems a well bal- anced organization, being fortified for | the sprints, middle-distance and Geld events.

Farrell is a streak of action and generally finishes his sprints with a remarkable revelation of power. Event for Ray Not Picked. No event in which Joie Ray, world’s greatest distance runner. is ‘to com- nete has been definitely decided upon, as been usked to name thosc he preferred. Should the Tilinois Ath- ub marvel select the two-mile he will face Harry Helme, Cieorgetown boy, who formerly held ational junior and senior tities that distance: Vernon Booth h_Atlantic titleholder. represent ing Johns Hopkins, and possibly Whiie Ritola of the Finnish-American Athletic Club. The field would be given liberal handicaps and Ray would have to stride at his best to finish in front.

With Eberts and Breslin shooting with accuracy and all guard- ing and passing cleverly. the game soon developed into a walkaway for the home clan.

The board declded that tomorrow’s | games in which Business will face Central and Eastern will meet Tech | shall be played at the Arcade and that the Tuesday double-header which will end the regular scheduie will be staged at Central Coliseum. | No provision was made for the | playing off of a tie for the title that would be created between Eastern and Western. should both win their remaining games or a three-cornered deadlock involving theee schools and Central, should Eastern lose tomor- row and Central win both of its re- maining matches.

Ave. N.W. to ary d at least two challenges | | | | { Pollak Boyd, Our national golf association has been even more set against the in- Jection of commercial influences into the game than it has been against large money prizes. So all things considered, here was an opportunity for the United States Golf Assoclation to make its position 80 clear that in the future no one would dare make another offer of the kind. However great the temptation | was not a word came from the august councils of the United States Golf As- sociation. And then at length a ruling from St. Andrews coucl in terms in which even Sir Eric Geddes could find no Maw digposed of the proposition on the grounds that it would tend to commercialize the sport. There unquestionably ix a feelin among our golfers, both amateur an pro, that conditions in international golf are not—and probably never will be—altogether propitious. Climatic varfation, limited time for preparation and divergent rules for tourney play are all regarded as mil- itlating against a true test of merit on the part of Americans in England on the one hand and on the other English players in America. The amateurs feel this more strong- ly than the professionals as naturally would be the case with men whos time_for golf is comparatively limi ed. There is noted, too, a growing conviction that Americans who go to England return to the American tourneys somewhat unsettled, not up to_their best. h all this in mind, the announce- 1t that Robert A. Gardner and k Evans might find it inexpe- to journey to Englnad as mem- of a team of American amateurs formed to defend the Walker cup and to compets in the British ama- teur tournament is not at all surpris- in%. Statements of the sort have been known to come from Evans before, and always at the critical moment he has permitted his patriotism_to tri- umph over disinclination. Possibly history will repeat itself in this re- spect, although it is obvious that the tendency of the United States Golf Association Is making toward the se- {lection of a team of youngsters, cap- tained, William Fownes. Rudy Knepper of Princeton and Towa, Harrison Johnston of St. Paul, the mecteoric intercol- legiate champion: Jess Sweetser, and men older—but not a great deal old- er—such as Davy Herron, Paul Hun- ter of California and Simpson Dean are among those whose names have been mentioned as members of our invading force. {Copyrigh probably, C. 44 is a Sumatra-wrapped cigar made of mellow, care- fully seasoned tobaccos. 44 Clgar is made by Cousclidated Cigar Corporation, New York Distributors Capital Cigar & Tobacco Company 602 Pa.
