of the Y. NJ. C. A. team to play a series
Of games at the Association Park. The
team was partly organized on Friday

man. Maple and Moriarity
Captain Edwards deserves credit for
finishing as well as he did with his
basketball team and if he mad had the
same lineup early in the season that he
has had since March l he might have had
a chance for top honors.
Central High school Athletes.
The Central High School Basketball
Team, which finished a tie with the Cor
corans in the League race at all times
Kept the opposing teams guessing and
especially during the last two months
put up very fast, strong game. The
team really deserved better position but
1t was often outlucked in goaling by their
opponents, whom they frequently out
played in field work. Devlin was I'M
doubtedly the star of the team and no
play was too hard and no scrimmage too
fast for him. He had a hand in every
play. Schreiner and Sagrano played a fast
game and fielded their position well and
in field pnaIipu no
strong.
With the indoor game out OF the way
the students are turning their attention
TO the outdoor sports, especially baseball
The team promises to be considerably
stronger than that of last year. Among
the new candidates are: Chase. Eastman.
Pritchett, and Yoder. They have all
shown up well in practice and will make
players of last seasons team work hard
to hold their own. Among the veterans
who will try for places are: w c. Shepard.
Stakely, Wareman. jacobson. Brush
Purcell, Mayer. Duryee, Bristol. and
Young, Most of the practice will be taken
on Georgetown Field
National Guard Indoor Games.

ic Association track and field games to
be given at the Armory April is, are COM
ing in slowly, but rush of them is ex-
pected about the 18th instant They must
all be in on April 10. date OF closing en-
tries.
Manager Ed Neumeyer of the Light IN
fantry. has promised a large entry list
and judging from the character of work
his men are doing he should carry awa7
at least half the prizes. There is good
material in the Infantry and the BOYS
should make splendid showing especial
iy IN the relay and tug-of-war events
The Central High School athletes are
slow coming to the scratch with infor-
nation as to their entering their relay
team against the Y. NJ c. A This is the
one opportunity they have TO try for the
District championship. each team being d
winner in its respective class. With the |
goes a handsome cup and |
four medals. 1t is Known that Manager |
Rowland Johnson is in favor of entering |
the team, but 1t is believed that Trainer |
Foley interposes objection. fearing that |
thier work will interfere with their prac- |
tice for the University of Pennsylvania |
races to be held april 2S. where the team !
Is entered in the High School relay races. |
1t is hoped that Mr.. Foley will waive his ,
objection and give the boys a chance to
see what they can do with the Association |
players. The competition might really
shcw al what point they are weak
The officials of the meet will include:
Messrs. NJ. b. RideOut and r lie Mat. Y.
