HOYAS WONT HOLD " USUAL DUAL MEETS Two Relay Teams Will Take Part in Intercollegiate and Penn Games. L Georgetown that it is ex- tremely doubtful if it will make any atiempt to arrange a BY H. C. BYRD. ACK of an outdoor track is proving such a handicap to schedule for its track and field| squad this Spring. About the only | events in which Georgetown now expects to take part are the Penn, relays and the intercollegiates, and Coach John O'Reilly is won- dering how he will ever be able| to keep his men in shape for these. ' No dual meet is to be listed. ch a curtaiied progcam 1s unusual for George.own. ‘lae 3Slue and Gray for many years has been exceplionaliy ntre cinders, and iiom the time that Arthur Dufly and Bernie Weiers were making records athletes wearing its colors have proved formid- able antagonists for other schools in many sections of the United States. | However, sprinters cannot be dGeveloped | without ‘a place to sprint and jumpers | & and vaulters and hurlers cannot be | trained without take-off boards, jump- | ing pits and a track. And none of | these does Georgetown have. | A new aormitory now graces the spot where the old track was, the place | where grezt runneis trainea for 40 years. And so fai, while a site has been established for a new field, little | progress is noticeable toward getting | it in usable shape. And theie is vir- tuaily no nope that a track could be built in time for use this year, even if the authorities of the wfiversity were willing to make that a part of their Spring program. OACH O'REILLY plans to send his relay teams to Philacelphia for the Penn games, figuring that having got them in good shape on the board track during the Winter he may keep | them in fairly good condition throug: exerciscs, jogging runs and use of tracks | elsewhere for practice. He will send | the two relay teams to the Penn and | five of his best individuals to the in- terccllegiates. O'Reflly, of course, re- slizes he is greatly handicaped, but is | accepting the situajion philosophically. However, he would much rather have a ood track and & big squad to train on it for a full dual meet schedule than to 0 throfigh a makeshift year, if that it may be called, such as he plans. And in speaking of track work at Georgetown, it is not amiss to mention here that O'Reilly 1s fairly well satis- fled with the way his men have per- formed indoors. All Winter O'Reilly hes been teking mile and two-mi'e yelay teams to the various meets, put mctually he has onlv six men to run. In every meet, two of the runners, after | Tunning the half or quarter, whichever | ceme first, have rested awhile and then gone out to run the second event. In consideration of that kind of double duty, it is rather remarkable that ‘Georgetown has done as well as it has. Notre Dame and Holy Cross were de~ feated in the Meadowbrook meet, Not Dame was beaten in another, and several events the Biue and Gray Tinished second, with two other scaools trailing behind it, although, as O'Reilly uts it, “seconds don’t count this ‘year.” urke, Mara and Kelly are the runners who have at various t'mes taksn turns @t doubling up, two of them competing in both th> one-m'le end twos,mile relay events. Bonniwell in the high jump snd Jimmy Kelly in the sprints also have done well. “All in all,” says O'Redly, “we have mothing to be ashamed of, as a result of tur competition this Winter, some things of which we should be proud, 2nd because the boys have done the best they could, under the circum- stances, I'm satisfied.” 'OOT ball coaches out at Northwest- J1 recently turned the; administrative au- ty. It seems that for y nere has b2en an insistent €:mand on the part of faculty mem- brs of that insiutution tha‘ th- ccaches ghould get no more meney. than the st paid members of the faculty. But Iy things changed. It seems that Northwestern was left an exce:dingly Jrrge sum of money, so that now a scale 1r the faculty has been established which will give some members as high 2s 812,000 per year. And the foot ball coaches now are saying to the uni- versity authorities and the faculty, “You have been for years wanting to sece the coaches pald on the same scale 8s the faculty; now, if you have been gincere. make good what you have been preaching.” Catholic University tonight at 8 ©'clock stages the t of what it ex- ects to develop into exceptionally at- active exnibitions of Winter activitios @t the university. The program begins with songs by a quartel from the Glee Club. and it continues with something of 8imest everything that is done at the | Brookland institution.

Undoubt- edly McMillan's recent and startling viciory over the gigantic Hans Steinke has considerable to do with the interest in_their second meeting. Few wrestling followers gave Mc- Millan more than a ghost of a chance against the husky Teuton, yet at the finish it was Steinke and not the for- mer foot ball player who was groveling on the canvas, utterly helpless as far as continuing the match was concerned. For all his 240 pounds, Steinke was bounced around like a rubber ball when MaMillan tossed everything into a fu- riolis attack that smacked strongly of the gridiron. . ‘This victory following an lly bril- lant one over Dick Shikat lifted him once more into the front rank of the challengers, and so Londos again finds himself dangling his title before the battering ram of the mat.

UITE a group of golfers who use the courses at East Pot"mac Park are wondering what is to be done during the coming season about get- ting down to the scene of their divot digging activities.

G. Loefler, the concessionnaire, plans to do nothing abdout operating the bus to the course. Players may be taken around Hains Foint to the ccurse, which is quite a distance out of the way. One golfer pointed out that if the Hains Point bus will stop on the west driveway, cpposite the fleld house, conditions will not be so bad, for the golfers may walk three or four hundred yards across the courze to the club house. The Capital Traction bus will oper- ate on Saturdays, Sundays and holi- days. Members of the Washington Golf and Country Club have joined Bobby Jones in condemning saw-toothed rld¥es in sand traps.
