v. A. A. EXPECTED
TO KEEP PLACE At
TOP OF ATHLETICS
Two Records Are Broken by
Members of Washington's
New Organization.

That Washington will. in the future,
have distinct place at the head OF
held and track athletics Is today the
opinion OF all who saw the members OF
the newly organized Washington Ath-
letic Association perform in their first
meet since the amalgamation of all
clubs of the National Capital Showing
proficiency in every event of the South
Atlantic championship. the Washington
contingent won the meet by a margin
OF fifteen points above the record of its
nearest competitor. Fifty-one team
points were scored by the w. A. A,
while the Cross Country Club, of Bal
timore, scored thirty-six. Pole vault
and hammer throw records were bet
tered by members of the w. A. A.
The two-mile run was the only con-
test in which athletes of this city failed
TO distinguish themselves, but their
failure to- score is attributed to the
short length of time in which the ath-
letes had to prepare for the grueling
race Harry S. Weidman, Of the Wash
ington Athletic Club. broke the record
for the pole vault, he having taken the
bar at the height of II feet s inches
This is two inches higher than the rec
ord held by John Sterrett, which was
established two years ago. Harry z.
kersburg, of Dowds School, made a
new South Atlantic mark for the 16-
pound hammer throw. His distance
was 1a feet AZ inches, but there is some
question as to whether the record will
be accepted by the A. A. L. officials, as
some claim it was made illegally. This
matter will be definitely decided at the
next meeting Of the A. A. u.
Washington athletes won first place
in the following events: Paul Blacki-
stone, 2O0-yard hurdles; Harry s. Weld
man, pole vault; Marshall Low, running
high jump; w. B. Gish. 16-pound shot
put and discus throw, and Kersburg in
the 16-pound hammer throw. Ira f.
Ryder won first place in the first heat
of the 1o0-yard dash, but was nosed out
in the finals, and only took the third
prize. Norman StenZ and Groome
showed well in the one-mile event, and
Brent Young was second in the 440-
yard event.

ATTRACTIVE DATES
SCHEDULED FORTHE
NJ. A. c. GR|D|RONERS
But Two Open Dates Re-
main on Card of Aggies
Eleven.

Two games remain to be filled or, the
Maryland Agricultural College schedule
which is announced today. The first
engagement, that on Saturday next. is
expected to be filled by one of the
teams in the city. and the other date,
on November ,, is being held Open
The schedule as announced takes in
number of games with teams in
Maryland and the Aggies are confident
ly expecting to win the majority of
their games. The first few days of
practice has developed the fact that
there are not the number of stars re-
porting that was at first expected, and
while the men are turning out in good
shape the problem confronting Coach
Byrd is that of developing a capable
line.
Or the new men showing up for the
line, Huntemann. Posey. Bowland. Will
liams. Koehler. Hindman, Eddy, Nc
Berney, Wilson and Atchison look to
be able to put up stiff fight for the
coveted positions. Some of these men
have had experience and should develop
into capable line men.
Johnson, Pennington and Coster are
working out for the end positions,
bel and Knode are in line for the back
field positions. The fact that a major
ity of the players are being drawn
from the freshman class holds out
pr omise that the team can be devel-
oped this year for capable eleven in
the future.
The schedule is announced as follows:
September 2S. open: October O. Rich
