Exciting Contests Promised in An
nuaI Track and Field sports.
SchooIboy Drawn and muscle and ath-
! letic prowess will be given a rousing
showing on next Friday afternoon, when
the best athletes of the four Washington
high schools will compete on track and
field for the prize trophy. Interest in this
notable event of interscholastic sport
makes an even break with the attention
given the coming annual company COM
petitive drill of the High School Cadet
Corps. Central. Western, Business. and
Eastern High Schools will all be repre-
sented by teams. The games viii take
place on Georgetown Field, under the di-
| reetion OF NJ. ]. Thompson, of George
| town University.
AT the present time chances appear to
favor either Central or Western. The
colors of these rival schools are borne by
a host OF fast schoolboy athletes, and the
! supporters OF each are confident that vic
tory will perch on their banners.
For Central the victory means perhaps
the most The prize cup has been won
! twice by teams representing Central and
! according to the rules of the annual
meet the school winning the cup three
/ times obtains permanent possession.
! Western VIII make a bold fight, how
I ever likely bunch of swift-footed
runners, clever field men and husky
weight throwers are working out at
/ Georgetown under direction Of Bin Foley
coach OF the Georgetown track team.
! Centrals runners also train there. Part
/ OF the Eastern athletes are working at
! Georgetown, while those from Business
1 High train daily at the Y. NJ c. A Park.
The card prepared contains the thirteen
events usually included in scholastic track
and field competitions. The winners of first
and second places win be presented with
I gold and silver medals by the manage
ment OF the games. 1t is probable that
a handsome gold medal viii be put up
for the winner Of the greatest number
Of points An attractive programme,
containing the pictures OF the captains
I OF the four high school track teams, is
/ being prepared
Dick Dear captain of the Central High
! School team, may be safely picked to
Z land the 100 and 30 yard dashes. He ran
far and away better than any other
/ High School athlete at the Georgetown
/ games short time ago. and in the 100
! yards, where he had liberal handicap
/ over Arthur Duffy. the Georgetown flyer.
Z he ran close second. He is also entered
/ in the quarter-mile run.
Centrais best man in this event, how
ever, is probably G. Williams who
showed SO well in that event at the
Georgetown games, and is also a likely
candidate for first honors in the longer
dlstances-the half and mile. Buell. and
! Bristol are fast spike artists, who will
/ Doubtless gather up seconds or thirds
! Barringer, OF Central, is looked TO to
/ Hayes, OF Western, is said TO have a
1 rafting good chance in the quarter
Boggs win wear the red and white of
| western IN the distance events He is
| a heady runner with plenty Of heart
= and viii doubtless show good form
The neld events are rather up in the
| air Guy, Of Eastern. is expected to
romp away with the high jung On the
1 this year.
