Eastern, and Business in Order Named.
Tech Strong All Around.

Technical is favorite for the annual
inter-High School field and track meet.
which will be held on Georgetown Field
on June s. Central is second choice,
Western third. Eastern fourth and Bust
ness last.
Central High School. winner last year,
has lost some Of her best men. Roberts.
last year the next best sprinter, who
ran in the 100, 220 and 440-yard dashes:
Kenper, another fast man ii. the same
events, in addition TO being Il broad
jumper of ability; Cook, Centrafs best
athlete, who won 1915 points for his
school at the lest meet; Kelly, who won
Il points, and Connor. the cross coun-
try champion Of the District, are no
longer with the track and field team,
so it IS seen that Central will have TO
develop much new material.
Techs Losses.
Teehnieal's principal losses were Bal
Ienger. in the shot-put and hammer
throw, and Wetzel in the si:ints. III
Du Came. however. winner OF last
years shot-put, the school has what is
believed to be a sure winner He out
ciassed the athletes from other schools
who heave the l2-pound missile
Kent. of Central. will probably be one
of the biggest point-getters of the meet.
As a sprinter he need bow TO none in
the other schools, his nearest competitor
probably being Morse. of Western.
Central Is Strong.
While Technical IS the favorite nc
great odds are offered on the Manual
Training School lads. It is hardly like
" that it will take Centrais measure in
the sprint races, but Tech adherents
look for victories In the haIf-mile and
mile runs, and in the shot-put hammer
throw. and discus throw. Byrne one of
the best distance runners in the High
Schools will represent the school in the
half and mile runs and IN the mile,
Adams, who beat Byrne at the Techni-
cal intercIass games at Van Ness Park
yesterday. will also run. It would not
be surprising ia see the school finish
one-two. Du Came and Tracewell are
expected TO win the shot-put. hammer
throw. and discus throw for Tech.
The best of the Western athletes are
Morse, who viii run in the 100 and 220-
yard dashes. and 220-yard hurdles; Os-
good. in The century; Phelan in the 1ol
and 220-yard dasf1es and pole vault; Rus
sell and Monroe In the quarter; Joe Lut-
trell in the quarter and half; Babcock IT
the S80-yard and mile runs. and Ritten-
house in the high jump. Rittenhouse's
best record is feet inches. In addi-
tion to these. some good raw materia
has been developed.
Eastern's Team.
Eastern has some seod athletes. but
is not expected TO prove formidable tC
Technical, Central, or Western. In Cap
tain Thompson and Bryan, the Capitol
Hill institution has two good shot-put-
ters and hammer throwers. Linthicum
captain of Company +, which won the
competitive drill; oyster, the baseball
captain; Tewksberry and Dunningtor
will be Eastern's s representatives in the
100-yard dash. Tewksberry will also
