Y. VI. c. A. Athletes.
The gymnasium classes of the Young
Mems Christian Association have about
closed for the season. the only two show
ing continued activity being the junior and
newspaper mems classes.
The latter class ukiets at IL O'Clock in
the forenoon and has proven great boon
to the cil-pushers.-TAeir favorite and
seemingly most beneficial exercise is vol
ley ball. A team has been formed from
among the most active in the class and SO
well do they handle the ball that they ar
ranged match game last week with the
afternoon class, and the latter won much
| to the disgust of the writers" who still
believe they are able to win and have ar
ranged a second game to be played next
| Friday.
| Photo day last Saturday was full of in
| terest for all hands. and some splendid
groups and individual pictures were taken.
In the latter was one picture of Harry
| Greene going over the bar in the pole
! vault at the height of nine feet, six inches,
a very clever vault indeed, and executed
after only short time of practice.
Greene is a quick learner, and is very
| apt in all lines of athletics, This Is his
| first year at tennis, and he showed his
cleverness in last weeks tourney by win
/
unfortunate in being drawn to play G. l.
Raybold in the semi finals. for the latter
has proven one of the seasons finds in
local tennis. He plays a strong game, be-
| ing especially skillful at placing the ball.
at all times using good headwork. He
showed his powers of endurance on
| Wednesday when the semi-inal and
| finals were played.
He ran OFF three SERIES two sets with
tcxk.,II
with Gee. He beat Greene and Craighill,
but lost to Gee, who having drawn the
| bye, was fresh when he faced Raybold
and the strain having been too much for
one afternoons work. the latter lost the
full set. This might have been the most
i interesting of the tourney. but Raybold in
sisted upon playing then and there. while
| Gee wanted it put off until the next day
Gee is one of the best payers in the
| city, and promises next year to make it
interesting for some of the best locals.
Craighill is another strong player, and
equally good on high cross-cut and low
driven balls.
1t is quite probable that another tour
ney will be held in the early iall.

of the lieutenants. % 10
High school Athletes.
From the ranks of the High School ath
letes are drawn the workers who after
ward develop into stars OF collegiate ath
letics. This city in the past five or six
years has contributed several stars, and
judging from the work of'the students in
the annual championships held at George
town Field last week, there are several
more who will develop into more than or
dinarily good track and field men. Among
these are Wilson, of the Western, who
handily won the SS0yardS and mile runs.
He runs well and finishes strong and
promises to be a good successor to Stew
art, who did so much to bring High School
athletics to the front.

er the High Schools have. as. shown In his
recent work when he landed the 100-yard
in 10 AS seconds and broke the High
School record in the 220-yard dash in "A
seconds.

be the best all-around man by winning his
heat in 220 yards hurdle, taking third in
the finals; third in the running high jump:
second in the twelve-pound shot and Sec
ond in running broad jump.

gerbund competed. The series finally set
tied down to the Saengerbund and the CO.
lumbia Athletic Club, who beat of all the
other teams. The ownership of the cup is
still unsettled, as the latter two teams
have not yet played together. To settle
the matter these teams will play a set
of three games next Saturday evening in
