athletes who have starred in colleges
as any other important city IN this
part OF the country. This fact IS borne
out by taking into consideration the sue
cess Of the many athletes who have been
developed under the eye Of local coaches
and who have later been listed on the
role OF fame in the athletic annals OF
many OF the largest colleges in the
country. Several boys who ct one time
carried the local schools 10 victory on
The baseball diamond, gridiron, or cinder
path have later on gained worldwide
regulations for their athletic abilities.
No better example Of this fact can be
cited than that in the case Of Jack Car
penter, the hero OF the Olympic games
who not many years since was a member
OF Central High School track SQUAD
carpenter got his start as q track ath-
lete under Bin Foley who is stin in
charge OF athletics at the 0 street insti-
tuition. After several months training
under the well-knOwn track authority

The scholastic realm, and he was advssed

letie pursuits. Next season he entered
Cornell. AZ ''eie@
During his first year at the university

Many Enter Colleges.
During the present season OF 1eoa rnarv
athietes have been developed at the local
schools who viii next year enter uni
Fersities and who viii undoubtedly hold
up the athletic reputation OF turuouts
from the local scholastic realm. The per-
1ormances Of many during their partici
patton in athletics Is sufficient basis for
the prediction that several, II not all OF
them viii develop into athletes OF the
first ranking.
Foremost IN the mind OF the writer is
Tom Pendleton, who for the past four
years has represented the Episcopal High
School in three distinct branches of ath-
ietes-oaseoah, football and track ath-
letics.
The plucky youngster has excelled in
each' and his clever work has been large
" responsible for the athletic standing
or the school in this section OF the coun-
try. OF the three sports, track work
seems 10 be his favorite and he spends
the greater part OF his spare time on
the ci1der path. During the past year
ne mas been pitted against the cream. OF
athletic talent in the East, and each time
has proved HIS superiority His great
est feat was accomplished in the recent
athletic games Of the Tome Institute al
Port Deposit. Nd. a.zEhich time he can
tured all three. events in which he an
Tered with comparative ease. in spite OF
the Ialt That he was pitted against the
pest athletic talent ever gotten together
IN these parts. His time in the short
distance events was nothing short Of
remarkable, and was the equal. If not
superior 20 the best marks credited col
eege athletes in meets throughout the
country during the past season.
VIII Enter Princeton.
Next year Pendleton win enter Prince
ton. and in him the Tigers have copped
real prize, who should figure promi-
henty In athletic victories Of the famous
university in the next four years.
Several athletes who have excelled in
athletics at the various Washington high
schools will also test their skill IN the
collegiate ranks during the coming sea
son.
In numbers Central High is first IN
rank. Five athletes who give promise OF
developing into classy athletes viii enter
the higher rank. The 1903 track team
viii contribute Henry Zeh and Richmond
Bryant, who during the year Just closed
have earned place among the best long
distance cindeT-pathers developed in this
city IN many a day Both have inquired
prominently in the athletic meets held in
this part Of the country. and have been
largely responsible for many Of the vic
tories OF the school
Zeh Chooses G. w. Z.
zeh contemplates entering George
Washington University in the fall; while
Bryant win probably choose Yale.
Edward Rheem viii be the only repre-
sentative Of the graduates on the baseball
team &c enter the collegiate ranks. Rheem
has fulfilled the entrance requirements at
Princeton and win enter the New Jersey
university In the fail Rheem has played
IN the outer pastures for the local high
school during the past two years. and has
filed the bin from every standpoint His
friends predict that year under a com
petent collegiate coach will make him a
strong asset for the Princeton ball team
Two players Of last seasons football
team, Clarence Pistol and Benjamin Vim
ton have decided to discontinue their
studies at Central and next season will
find them AZ Mercersburg Although
these players failed TO cover themselves
with glory during the football season,
they have all the earmarks OF good foot
ball players, and short time under q
competent coach should work wonders
with the pair. Vinton is a heavy man,
tipping the scales in the neighborhood OF
200 pounds. and should develop into for
midable guardian for the line. Pistol can
play at quarter back or behind 'the line.
and is game TO the core.
Small 20 Cornell.
John Small. who for the past two years
has been a player on Techs champion
ship football team. WIN next season be a
candidate for the Cornell freshman team
Small was one Of the fastest ard most
consistent ground gamers on the team,
and for the past two years has been the
pick OF gridiron authorities of Washing
ton for a position IN the line on the all
