At first base, Ben Rives ‘has a slight edge over Porter. At lsecond, the competition has narrowed ldown to a fight between Brown, Shrimp Jones, Rattle Bagley and Lewis Collins. At short Johnny Gallagher, star of the 1914 V. M. I. nine, has the edge over Straley Ma- hood. For the third outfield posi- tion, Bill Smith, regular of last sea- son. is fighting against Hill, Smith and Eorralls. Four candidates for the pitching stafl are waging a merry fight for ’V’arsity right hander. C. A.

He would in all probabil ity have taken off the honors in both events since his practice time of 5 8 5 seconds was better than that made in either of his races. In the pole vault Hellman, with Sewall of Pennsylvania, was the only scratch man. Both scratch men vaulted well, but were unable to overcome the handicaps allowed their Georgetown opponents.The Washing- ton and Lee vaulter cleared the bar at 10 feet, 6 inches. Ted Shultz showed the best form that he has exhibited in the high jump this season; but did not place with a flight of 5 feet 6 inches. The winning jump was 5 feet 11 inches. In the 600 yard novice event, the first four men finished in a bunch, Bob Schulz was among them, but in fourth position. Hastings entered the half mile race and, although he was considered a favorite, finished but fourth. Starnes finished third in the South’ Atlantic 50 yard hurdles and second in the open event. In the open contest, he and the winner ran almost a dead heat. He was able, also, to beat Bib Eller, the former Georgetown star. The Generals lost. the one mile relay to Johns Hopkins. The team was composed of T. A. Myles, J. B. Glariney, Bob Schulz and R. Starnes. , Myles lead off and ran a dead quarter against his opponent. Gladney took it up and lost about five yards, vthile Schulz followed with a three yard loss. Starnes, the fourth man, set to work to overtake his opponent and although be decreased the lead materially he was not able to pass his opponent before reaching the tape. Johns Hopkins won by a mar- gin of slightly over 5 yams. This marks the close of the indoor season for Washington and Lee The track squad will be laid off until March 10. At this time they will begin training for the dual meet to be held in Lexington on April 10 with Georgetown probably as an op- ponent.
