settle down to real hard work on the
track. The school has set aside April 8
for the next interciass meet. and from
reports 1t promises to be the best held SO
far this track season. A novelty will be
introduced which will be a great induce
ment to increase the entries and also TO
make the boys work harder. The school
intends to award medals to individual
winners and to give banner to the class
boasting of the best relay four. In order
to decide which class has the best quar-
tet of runners, the first class will COM
pete against the second year boys. while
the third and fourth year relays will hook
up In competition. The winning team OF
each race will compete in the final match
and will be awarded. besides the beanti-
full banner the honor of being the best
relay four in the school. The boys are
showing quite a little interest in this
movement and it is bound to be we'll sup
ported.

east.
Business is scheduled to play Gallandet
today and Episcopal High School Fri
day. weather permitting. Schofeld and
Horr will be the probable battery for the
Rhode Island avenue school, while Burley
will also twirl them over for a few in
nings. The coach and captain are anx-
ious to see what they have I'm the way
OF new pitchers and will watch the boys
on the firing line with an eagle eye
Schofield made quite reputation as a
Cardinals in Alexandria. Smith. one of
the promising candidates for the pitching
honors at Business. was also stung by
the funk bug when the late marks went
in. The school also lost a good man be-
