ed of Arms, Stephenson. Underwood and
Ii rlan hoy- al l..
ties as quarter milers Ruff and Stuart are
sure to make the team. Ruff is one of the
grlttieSt and fastest runners a high school
ever turned out and can always be relied
upon under any circumstances. They are
both good men, and if two equals can he
developed from the dozen aspIrants Cen
tral will have the fastest scholastic team in
the country.
Young and Curtiss will both make
strong bid for the team. II is generally
conceded that Captain FarrCw will make
the team. farrow is built for runner,
but his previous work has consisted in high

excellent records. The team will most like

rounding states 10 meet annually in Wash
ir rgton TO contest for The interstate cham
ponshp.
The attendance of teams from Baltimore
City College the Episcopal High School Of

form definite plans the out of town schools
will undoubtedly enter into the rroject with
vim. The students Of The Baltimore City
College have entered into ,he Undertaking
with enthusiasm.

sented by first-cass team. it is likely that

sers: Mr.. AL Tisdell is captain of the Cen
