HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Dutch Stentz, who has been out of the
recent basket ball scrimmages taken on by
the Stenographers, owing to an injury, eX-
poets to again don his toys and return to
the game in time to round himself into
condition for the contest this Thursday
afternoon with the Georgetown Prep
qunt. Business has been showing up
good In this sport, and has an enviable
record for a high school team, but will
be afforded an opportunity to display its
real caliber In the game with the boys in
Georgetown, as they have fast aggrega-
ton in basket ball. The return of StentZ
to the fray is a great relief to his team
mates, as he is considered one of the best
defensive backs for his weight in the Dis
trict, and his presence will undoubtedly
strengthen the Rhode Island schools
chances for annexing a victory this
Thursday.
Manager Howard of the Machinists
track squad reports that Capt Spransy IS
also showing to advantage in the high
jump. besides coping the sprints. He is
an all-arOund track man, and sets an eX-
cellent example for his men to follow by
working to his utmost in every event he
enters.
II was announced by Manager Hill yes
terday morning that Business would not
be represented in the Johns Hopkins meet
the 30th of this month, as his plans OF
sending a team to Baltimore had been on
set by the refusal of the athletic associa-
ton to furnish the entry fees. This is a
sad blow to track athletics at Business,
as every man who had chances of accom-
panying' the team on this trip has been
training faithfully for the past few weeks,
and this setback is bound to cause no
little encouragement among the cinder
path artists at the Rhode Island school.
Eastern athletes are at present fully
engaged by devoting their entire attention
to track work and indoor base ball train
ing The track squad is not one of the
largest in the high schools, but capt. Fes-
sender expects to spring few surprises
with some of the excellent material he has
on hand before the season comes to a
close. Under Bill Foley's training system
and Dick Woodward's advice on the fine
points of the game the base ball candl-
dates are obtaining excellent results, ana
a strong team is booked by the Capitol
Hills boys to represent Eastern on the
diamond this spring.
Spencer, the star halfback of Tech
crack eleven. reported for track training
recently, and, Judging from the speed he
displayed on the gridiron, should prove a
valuable acquisition to Coach Walkers
already strong squad of candidates. Spen-
Ger intends entering and training for the
dash events.
All prospects for base ball game with
the Philadelphia Central High School by
the local Central High School have fallen
through. and it was announced this morn
ing that a contest with Bethel Military
Academy at Warrenton. Va, had been
scheduled in its place. Manager kemper
has arranged an extensive schedule for
the Centralites, and 1t includes many out
side games with Baltimore teams, Jacob
nd Ey,ic Jinl,
Bryant who recently resumed his stud
les at Central High School, is fast regain
ing his old-time form as a long-distance
runner. Mr.. Foley has an excellent trio
of mile runners in Zeh. Richardson and
Bryant. and expects any of these three
boys to hold their own with the other
high school athletes at this distance.
It is the intention of Capt. Kane and
Manager Donnelly to start the candidates
for catcher and pitcher taking up light
work in the armory in the near future.
Business has an excellent opportunity to
annex the championship this spring, and
these two boys are doing all within their
power to bring about successful sea-
son in this branch of athletics for the
Stenographers. The funk rule is begin
ming to play havoc among the most likely
candidates for the nine, and Donnelly adj
vised these players to brace up in their
work so they will not injure the excellent
chances the Stenographers will have On
the diamond this year.
Misfortune was again present in the
practice of the Stenographers' basket bali
quint Monday afternoon, when Welker
who has been playing such a credital,ia
game for his school, had to retire from
the floor with an injured ankle. He is
taking extra care of the injured member
and expects to have 1t strong enough to
In the Georgetown Prep game
Thursday.
POWELL of Technical is rapidly coming
to the front as dash man and is COW
ering the short distance In excellent time.
This is his first year at steady training
and under Coach Walkers capable direc-
ton should make the other high school
sprinters sit up and take notice in the
local labor indoor meets which will soon
take place.

his schedule to date as follows: |
