BYRD. EORGETOWN has teams entered to run in six re- lay races in the Uni- verysity of Pennsylvania games Friday and Saturday, and in addition has five men taking part in events for individuals. Blue and Gray athletes are to toe their marks in the quarter-mile, half-mile, sprint medley, mile and two-mile relays, also in the fresh- man relay and in the 100-yard dash, discus throw and shotput. In three of these races O'Reilly feels that his teams have a fair chance at least to finish in one of the first three places. Of course, to predict that a team will win at Penn is just plain foolishness, and O'Reilly knows too much about the many factors that may easily upset things in a race against the cream of university athletes to say that one of his teams will win, no matter how good that team may be. However, O'Reilly does feel that he has a chance to win and that one of the first three positions in the quarter- mile, half-mile and sprint medley races may be his. The quarter-mile and half-mile teams will be made up of the same men, Al Kelly, Briggs, Carlin and Burke. In'the sprint m to run the 220-yard dashes, Burke the 440 and Jim Kelly the half mile. It is more than possible that the mile team may not run, especially if the mile relay is run in heats. O'Reilly will have to pick his mile team from the athletes. who have been competing in the other events, and to ask them to run in heats would be just too much. However, the two-mile race is to be Tun, whether or no. Dowding, Burke, Mara and Jim Kelly are to compete in this race. O'Rellly does not feel nearly so op- timistic about the two-mile race as the ll“lfler'.'h‘hllf and sprint medley. It this 2 ‘which is real traveling, Also Ohio State has a fine two-mile team, cov~- ered the distance last week out in Kan- sas in 7:52. Freshman quartet due to make the trip to Philadelphia is not par- ticularly good, but may show better than O'Reilly or anybody else expects. As a matter of fact, the first-year men have trained so faithfully, stuck to their practice so well, that the uni- versity could net refuse permission for them to make the trip. In the hundred-yard dash, Al Kelly, Briggs and Carlin are entered. Whether or pot all three will be allowed to run | is not known, as that depends entirely | on the condition of the track, the kind of competition they are to face and the condition they are in. Slezack is the Blue and Gray entry in the field events, and he will compete in both the discus and shot. “Our men have worked faithfully this r rather trying conditions,” y this morning in speaking of the Penn relays, “and on-the hill we all feel that they “will MAJORI ley Carlin and Al Kelly are | Princeton, 6; Virginia, 2.

OUTH BEND, Ind, April 21— Jesse Harper is coming back to Notre Dame to carry on for the man who carried on for him— Knute Rockne. Harper, athletic director at Notre Dame from 1913 to 1918, yesterday con- sented to return to serve in the same capacity, replacing Rockne, whose tragic { institution of its athletic leader. Harper will assume his duties May 1, the Very Rev. Charles L.

He never was out of contact with Notre Dame’s athletic situation, and will not find the position unfamiliar. ‘Where Harper not only acted as di- | rector of athletics in 1913-18, | coached all major sports as well, he will do no active coaching this time. He will direct the administrative affairs of the athletic department, leaving foot ball to Senior Coach Heartley (Hunk) Anderson and Jack Chevigny, assistants to Rockne last year. @eorge Keogan will continue to coach basket ball and base ball and Dr. Jon P. Nicholson will remain as track coach. Product of Stagg. Alonzo Stagg, jr., at the University of Chicago, from which he was graduated in 1906. Base ball, however, was his best sport and he won letters in 1903- 04-05-06. His first Notre Dame foot ball team, the 1913 eleven, was unde- feated and astonished the foot ball world by its use of the forward pass. Rockne caught the passes thrown by Charles E.

He said he was “glad to be called back after being | away so long,” and that he planned to continue the policies now pursued at Notre Dame, CHICAGO, April 21 _(#).—Jesse Harper, who will return to Notre Dame again to become athletic director, was a better base ball player than foot ball man at the University of Chicago, Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg recalls. Stagg said Harper was good enough | in base ball to win his letter four times as a catcher and outfielder and captain of the Maroon team in 1905. He weighed only 155 pounds, however, a great handicap in the days of “five yards in three downs” and had to strive against such backs as the laf Walter Eckersall, Hugo Bezdek, de Tray, Walker and Hutchinson for a job. Stagg said Harper was a fast and enthusiasti rhyer, and was good enough to win letter in 1905. Varied Sports Tennis. Harvard, 8; Princeton, 1. Lacrosse. St. John's of Annapolis, 19; Georgia Tech, 0.
