BEGIN WORK FOR INDOOR TOMORRGW COMPETITION Hilltoppers, Despite Heavy Losses, ‘Plan to Enter Ms:ny Meets—Old Liners to Have Relay Team in Action in Big Affairs. ' BY H. C. BYRD. G aration to enter several indoor-meets. ZORGETOWN and the University of Maryland, the only local in- stitutions which plan to lay much emphasis on track athletics this Winter, get their squads out tomorrow afternoon to begin prep- The Blue and Gray is to go through a4 much more pretentious indoor schedule than the Old Liners, and its whole squad is likely to take part in several sets of games in the North. Notwithstanding it lost many gqed men from the 1925 team, George- town still has the nucleus of an excellent squad. There is not much chance that a two-mile relay team will be developed capable of measuring any- where near up to the quartet that many respects the team should be very strong. ran in that event a year ago, but in Three members of the champion two-mile quartet have finished their collegiate careers—Holden, Marsters and Sullivan. Swinburne, who ran first, still is available, but it is decidedly improb- able that three men as good as those lost will be on hand. .Especially is this true in the case of Marsters and Holden, who were equaled by but very few men at t Harry Helms, e runner, is back and Coach John O'Reilly is expecting great things of him. The next best man in the distance events O'Reilly (lryn nds on is Gegan, who formerly hurdler, but was developed into & miler last spring so effectively that e took third place in the intercol- legiate at Franklin Field. Burgess Is Uncertain. s, one of the t the country, who ran 5o brilllantly in that memorable one- in the Penn relays a year R vet certain what he will be able to accomplish this Winter. He led & tendon in his leg late last 5 and O'Reilly said that he was 't certain that Burgess would be able stand the gaff of a hard quarter, although he hoped the injury would not prevent him doing just as well as he did last season Ray Hass is captain of the team and may be depended on to run well i the hurdles, the quarter and also perform well in the broad jump. Johnny Hass, Ray's brother, is a sprinter of no mean ability. ¥ man is another man who was expected to come through this year who may be a disappointment. ~He was unfortunate enough to be in an automobile accident last Fall and may not get in shape to do his best. Mc- Laln is a 440 runner who may devefop into a better man than was expected. In addition to these men O'Reilly starts tomorrow with three veterans ho should perform just as brilliantly as in past seasons, and if they do they form just about half a track team in themselves. They are Plansky, Dowd- ing and Ascher. Plansky is good in any event, and last year was all-round track and fleld champion of the coun- Dowding is a great broad jump- /ing won In the intercolleglates ear ago, and Ascher is a fine run- ner at any distance from 100 to 440, although at his best in the 220 and 440. Leosses Are Heavy. The array of track talent, though, orgetown loses is enough to iscourage almost any coach. Besides illivan, Holden and Marsters, al- ady mentioned, Kinally and Herlihy, fine quarter milers; Brooks, a half miler; Gaffey, a sprinter, and Norton, an all-round star, have finished their college careers. Such losses are especially bad when ¢ is considered that material from the freshman squad is not particularly good, according to O'Reilly. The best of those coming from the yearlings of last year are Greenfedge, a very capable 2-miler, who does the distance in about 9 minutes 50 seconds; Whalen and Meany, sprinters, and Dussaylt, an 880 man. Georgetown already has completed arrangements whereby it will take part in four big indoor meets in the North and probably will enter others It is to go to the Fordham College games January 16, the Brooklyn ol- lege meet, January 23; the Millrose games in New York, February 4, and the Boston Athletic Association in Boston, February 6. It also has decid- ed to send a team to the John Hopkins 5th Regiment meet February 20. The outdoor track schedule is not yet com- plete, but it most certainly will in- volve trips to the Penn relays and 1o the Intercollegiates. Maryland to Be Busy. Maryland plans to go through a' rather long schedule of meets, but will not have the material to send to them the men that Georgetown posdesses. About the only man it lost who is likely to be missed is Ed Pugh, an exceptionally good lead-off man on the mile relay team. Buck- man, a miler, i the only other mem- ber of last vear's team who will not be available this Winter and Spring. Three members of the mile relay 1eam that made a good record in 1926 are back in the person of Sheriff, iindslow and R. Whiteford. The other point scorers in the dual meets, Ditt- man in the shotput, Supplee in the discus, pole and javeli H. White- ford in the broad jump and Deibert in the pole vault and high jump also are available rear's freshman squad will draw Matthews, a -miler; Thomas, another quarter man; Blanz -and Neuman, middle distance men; Charlie Pugh, a sprinter, and possibly one or two others who may develop into some- thing_worth while. It is probably ihat Linkous, freshman shotputter, will play lacrosse instead of becoming & member of the track team. Maryland probably will take part in four meets this winter. It plans to send its relay team to New York to run in Millrose games, and to Boston to take part in the Boston A. A. meet. At Boston the Maryland four may run against Dartmouth and Brown in a triangular race. In fact, Brown and Dartmouth have agreed to such an event, provided it is impossible to find for Maryland a suitatble opponent for @ dual race. The other two meets in which the Old Liners are to take part are at Richmond and Baltimore, Feb- ruary 13 and 20, and the whole squad probably will be entered in them. Others Face Difficulties. Catholic University, George Wash. ington and Gallaudet will do some track work before the end of the Win- ter, but have not yet determined how intensively they will go in for it. All are sure to engage in dual meets in the Spring, but the difficulty of find- ing suitable places to train is prov- ing a big handicap. Nefther George Washington nor Gal- laudet has a suitable place to train in- doors, while Catholic University’s in- door training quarters are practically useless because of basket bal Loss of Convention Hall as a place to hold track meets during the Win- ter also is hurting indoor track, as it just takes away from local athletes one of the few meets to which they are able financially to send their men. R HUNTING COSTLY. It is estimated that $3,500,000 will be spent by wealthy American sports- men during the Winter months on rents for Foogee moors and deer for- ests in the morth of England and r favorite distance—the 880. 5,000 SEE SCOTS WIN AT RUGBY OVER FRENCH PARIS, January 2.—Scotland com- pletely outplayed France in winning the first international rugby foot ball match of the season before a record crowd of 45,000 in Colombe Stadium today. The score was 20 to 6. The contest, played in a drizzling rain, was marred by the attitude of the French crowd toward Referee Llewellyn of Wales, who repeatedly was boo-ed and hissed. Although his calling of penalties was strict, im- vartial observers considered it fair. The lassies pictured in this wi al- ing feat are, from left to right: Eliza- beth Garber, Helen Taylor, Ermyn- trude Vaiden, Mae Huntzl er, Betty Fries and Ethel Thels. The Evening Star Boys Club Will Be Launched Tomorrow With Start of Instructions T HE Evening Star Boys Club will be formally launched tomorrow when the first of a series of coaching and instructive articles for young athletes will appear in’ The Star. From then on famous coaches will march before the boys in the ¢olumns of The Star leaving, it is hoped, the foundation for better men, morally and physically. Every member of the club is expected to read and digest the daily | inslruclions and the suggestion is made that the boys save the daily storfes for reference. It is easy to forget and when the boys prepare for various activities they should have the instructions before them. All sports indulged in by young-|Sappingtan, 1368 Quincy sters of this vicinity will be coached in the series, including base ball, foot ball, tennis, soccer, basket ball, swim- ming, track and field sports, wrestling and boxing. The articles will be writ- teri in such style that the youngest member can readily understand them and the oldest will find them in- structive. At the present time certificates are being prepared for the members and buttons have been ordered. Certifi- cates and buttons will be awarded in the order in which the boys enrolled, and youngsters who desire to be in the early quota should sign up imme- diately, The certificates will be stamped with the seal of the club and will show that the member has pledged himself te be a clean-living, sport-loving and fair-playing boy. It is something for him te keep along with his records of childhood conguests to show that he won his laurels fairly. An increasing number of applica- tions for membership in The Evening Star Boys Club comes to the desk of the club chief dally, With the club being officially started tomorrow, pledges are expected to rell in, Nat. urally every boy wants to be a charter member, and all who have applica- tions in the hands of the chief by tomorrow morning will be considered as such, Every mail delivered yesterday brougm additional pledges. Boys from Maryland and Virginia are getting in line with regularity, and in the near future a complete list of the out-of- town members will be published.

The record is a highly creditable one when jt is remembered that the Navy seeks the strongest opposition in every one of the sports in which it engages. In nearly every line the Navy met the strongest college teams. In six sports the Navy passed through the season without a defeat.
