SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Many D. C Athletes in Baltimore Games GEORGETOMN TEAM (TO SEEK POINT CLP Hilltoppers Also to Send Medley Relay Four to New York Meet. BY H. C. BYRD. RACTICALLY ail local col- P leges and schools which cont- peted in the Georgetown in- deor meet Wednesday night will have their men in games sponsored hv the Johns Hopkins University kifth Regiment Athletic Association Baltimore tomorrow night. Georgetown, George Washington, Maryland, Tech, Central, Western and Episcopal, besides the Wash- ington Canoe Club and other organ- izations, are due to test their strength against the best the Monu- mental city affords in the way of athletes. Incidentally, the Hopkins meet is just about due to be what George- town's was—the best in the history | of the affairs with which the institu- tlon has had to do in a managerial way. And one big advantage the ‘Baltimore meet is going to have over Georgetown Is the fact that it will be Theld on a floor where thousands may bo seated comfortably and where the track Is only two laps to the quarter instead of three. Georgetown will not have its full team in competition in the Baltimore meet as a medley relay four will run in the New York Athletic Club games. The relay team at New York Is to have as its opponents Penn State, Columbia and Syracuse. Twenty-two Blue and Gray runners will take part in the open eveats in the Hopkins games, and they have hope of cap- turing the team trophy. Twenty-five Maryland men are due %o compete in Baltimore, comprising entrants in . two relays. The varsity relay will run against Hopkins and the Fresh- man four against & team of Hopkins first-year men. Not a whole lot is expected of the College Parkers, though, as most of the material of which the squad is composed is very green. = George Washington's relay four, swhich won easily from Gallaudet in the Georgetown games, is entered, but its opponent has not been named. Matchings for other relay entries have not been made known. { H 5 BY ROBERT L. RIPLEY, HONOLULU, December 18.——An- other Hawallan welcome, Bweet music.

O'Reilly stayed in the background in matters relating to the games, but in reality directed prac- tically all moves that were made and should get credit for the success at- tained. The meet was noteworthy for the class of several performers, it was well managed in its preliminary stage and in its actual running off, and there was good competition. Only one slip-up of the wholo night, which was_the failure of the Penn- sylvania four to appear against Georgetown in the final two-mile and tyat was not anything for O'Reilly could in the least be Jt was the biggest held in whic held responsible. athletic event ever ngton. Probably the real reason for the fail- ure Ray to win the event in which he was featured wus due to his own mistake about the location of the finish line. Ray ran a race in which he judged his pace and handicap distance as nearly perfect as possible and the only reason assignable for his defeat is in an error as to the location of the tape. Earlier in the evening the officlals made the mistake of locating the finish line for the fifty-yard dash five yards t near the start and one heat of the half century was timed in 4 4-5 seconds. When that time was announced an in- vestigation started with the resultant moving of the finish posts to the end of the chalked alleys. Just before Ray started his race he examined the track thoroughly and of course noted the finish mark at the end of the chalked alleys. The uprights were standing there at that time. Ray started his event from the other side of the_track. No doubt he could have passed every runner on the track before he did had he 80 desired, but as certain as can be, he prepared a grandstand finish for himself, in which he intended to win in a final great rush. But during the progress of the race the uprights were noved back five vards and the final straightway in which Ray intended to make his grandstand drive was five vards shorter than when he examined Consequently the little Illinois man miscalculated to that extent.

The average player would not go 80 straight along the fairways, and would likely average 7 miles to the round, counting the walk between holes and back and forth on the putting greens. The business man, who plays a couple of rounds of golf a week, would scarcely play one-fifteenth as many strokes in the same length of time, even allowing for the larger number of strokes he would take to the round, for he would practice but little, but he would probably walk an -eighth of the distance, or some 1,300 miles. | | iASTERN and Western, tied for at C another this STRONG W.

It was the first compet- itive effort for the City Club team. tral High beat Gonzaga, Opening round games yesterday were filled with thrills, especially those won by Eastern and Episcopal. Tech, with Adams caging shots fre- quently, outplayed the Easterners throwing from the foul line. A last- minute basket tossed by Hook from the center of the court, however, was all that saved the Capitol Hill boys from a trouncing. A shot by Connor that rimmed the basket, but failed to drop in, de- prived Business of a win over the Episcopallans. The toss was made by the Stenographers’ captain just a few seconds before the match ended. Dan- iels had just thrown a goal that put the Virginians in front. Business started poorly, but soon found its feet jand thereafter matched the Episco- palians rush for rush. The Georgetown Preps found the Lonaconing Central High team, claim- ant of the Western Maryland scho- lastic title, an easy proposition, but could not cope with the doughty Westerners. The latter were at their best, with McNulty leading the floor attack and Garber eontinuing the splendid free tossing that has count- ed so heavily for his team in the high school league. A third-quarter rally saved the day for Central in its game with Gonzaga. The latter came out of the second quarter on the long end of a 16-to-12 count, but the Blue and White ran wild 'in the third period and gar- nered fourteen points, while holding the opposition to four. Dey and Birthright accounted for most of Cen- tral's scoring, the former pocketing fourteen of seventeen free shots.
