MANY ENTRIES In
SCHOLASTIC RACES
Fight for High School Trophy Cup
Promises to be Big
Affair.

In mentioning the tight for the scho,
lsstic Trophy Cup in the George Wash.
ington meet Of Saturday, many have
failed to take in account the fact that
there will be other real contenders thar
the local Central High and the Tome
School The Baltimore City College viii
send over the pick of its team and ex.
poets to make a good try for the cup
They will have two good men in the scho.
lastiC fifty in Galloway and Tregor. but II
must be admitted that they Will have to
show great form in order to beat Out
such men as Reuter-, of Central and
Smith. of Tome. Other contestants will
include Speer, of Episcopal High. and
Laseola, Rock, and Jones, Of Western.
The Woodberry Forest School will also
make a strong bid in this event. as they
have four entries which will attempt TO
start the point winning in this first event
on the programme, so that they will be
able to take the cup back into Virginia
with them.
In the open fifty Central and Tome
are practically the only prep schools en-
tered. but 1t is hard to see with the class
entered there how the school boys can
be figured to win many points.
In the scholastic hurdles the entries
are almost evenly divided between the
five schools mentioned as fighting il out
for the trophy. WoodDerry is sending
up two good men in Westervelt and Car
ter, and Baltimore City College will have
too men of no mean ability entered, but
il is hard TO figure that any Of them can
take first place away from Blackstone
unless his recent injury should prove
more serious than at first thought.
Many OF the same men are entered
in the open hurdles, but their chances
or getting points there for the scholastic
cup may be figured as pretty slim when
we note the names Of such men as
Bradley Gish. ScheEandore, Of Carlisle;
Gooch, of Virginia, and McDonagh, of
Baltimore Cross Country
In the 1,OOO-yard run Central will have
but one green man, while Tome, of Bal
timore City College, will be represented
by several men OF more experience. In
the 6OO-yard novice, Central has again
but one nan, while the other schools
have several The other schools seem to
be scattering their entries more, and in
this way wherever possible avoiding run
ming too many of their own men against
each other. while Centrars appear to be
more punched.
The 44O-yard scholastic will be a hard
fouFht race, and here Western High has
its krgest number OF entries. sending
, n seven men. All Of the other schools
represented have mon in this event, and
Lockwood, Cathedral SchooIs best man,
Is also entered. Should Hamilton, of
Central, be in anything like the form OF
last year, il is hard to see how he can
be headed.
II an- scholastic points are scored in
the mile, It seems likely that they will
go to Lawrence. OF Central also, al
though Whitney. of Tech. cannot be left
out Of consideration. There are several
men entered from the schools in the open
40 aud the half-mile, but IT is impossible
to place them from past performances.
In the field events it would seem that
from the schools Tome alone will score
with Curtis in the pole vault and the
high Jump, and Smith in the shot-put.
StiII. EinsoIving, Of Episcopal, is also
spoken OF as a good man in the high
Jump.
Altogether. from the scholastic stand
point, it will certainly be hard-fought
meet. Tickets are now selling at Whites
Eporting goods store.
