HIGH SCHOOL TRACK
ATHLETICS LOOKING UP

At a recent call for track candidates at
the Central High school about seventy
five men reported to start training. This
is a good evidence of the strong hold
that this branch of sports holds on the
student body Of this school. Ever since
the innovation of track and field events
into the curriculum of high schools sports
Central has reigned supreme. Last year
Trainer Foley turned out one OF the best
track squads in the history Of the school
and incidentally one of the best scholastic
squads seen In this part of the country.
The squad created tremendous sur
prise by capturing first place at the fed
eral games held here last winter. 1t also
took first place honors at the Jacob Tome
meet last spring. competing with some
of the best scholastic teams in Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland. This year, under
the management of Brice Claggett and the
leadership Of w. Dick. the cohorts OF
the school hope to annex to their belts
the scalps of the federal games to be
held In February, the Georgetown meet,
Richmond meet and the Jacob Tome out
door games. Plans are on foot no" 70

and compete there in an indoor meet
which will have the entries of some or
the best schools in New York state.
OF the experienced men left Carter is
the only short-distance man in the

several from the large number of recruits:

Hildebrand, Easton and Richards are the
most promising men Easton was a point
winner in several of last years meets.
Central will not again concede the pole
meet. Spiedel is being developed to wrest
the honors from Thrall of Technical, last
years winner Wingate and C1aggett are
the two men In whom the school places
reliance to gain points In the high Jump.
Beside these there are several new men
who show promise of making good in

says that the showing made by the turn

however. cannot be accepted as giving
any advantage to Pennsylvania, as indi-

TO a large extent, as Pennsylvania beat

An individual comparison of the elevens

tage for either. At center, May for

Both elevens are strong in the backtield,
with the possible exception of quarter

exciting races at the Benning meeting
this fall takes place tomorrow afternoon
when the United States cavalry horses
will be pitted against each other for a
handsome purse. The event, when origi-
nally given out by the Washington Jockey
Club, limited the entries to fifteen, and
Secretary Walton up to noon today had
received fourteen. The horses entered
are from the posts along the river, Fort
Washington. Fort Myer and down as far
as Fort Monroe. while it is expected that
Baltimore and perhaps Philadelphia
horses may take part. These horses will
have to be ridden by cavalrymen in uni
form, and the sport promises to be of the
very best. Maj. Gen. Grant, commander
of the Eastern Division, has given con-
sent to the race, and the result has been
to stir up all the posts hereabouts.
