Capt. Brooke C'Untz'O Brewer, Of the
Western High School track team, will
issue call for candidates in the near
future in order to get things in readi-
ness for hard and consistent work to be
! resumed after the Christmas holidays.
Prospects for another banner year at
the West End school are, to say the
least, very bright. with the bulk OF last
years squad now in school, including
three members OF its championship relay
four of 1872 Brewer, Stearns, and Rose
will form the nucleus for their relay
team, leaving only one man to be ac-
CURED in filling the shoes left vacant by
Edmund Jones, captain of last years
team. II is a self-evident fact that the
Red and White crew will not be fortunate
enough to land a man as capable as Was
its former leader, as Jones was the best
prep. school runner seen in this neck of
the woods in many a day. but it is a safe
bet that Western will be on the job when
the whistle blows.
outside Of its relay Western has some
mighty good men who will defend its
colors in the other branches In the
mile Probey is the best man in the
school, and much is expected of this lad
IN this event this year by his fellow nails
Bethel and Mackall will be seen in the
hurdles while Peck and Dixon are be-
ing depended upon to heave the shot.
Just what material is available in the
other schools is not known at present
oGt unless something astonishing occurs
western VIII repeat Its feat of last year
oy landing the honors on the cinder path.
BASKETBALL at Business and Western
Is Wen under way, but over at Eastern
httle work has been done, owing TO other
school interests which are interfering
with its progress. Mondays and Thurs
days are set aside for drill and on
Tuesdays and Fridays rife practice Is
reid On the remaining day "wednesday
Che girls are occupying the gym, and for
these reasons the only time the Capitol
Killers have to practice is at the noon
intermission, and little can be accom-
phshed at this time Just what arrange
ments viii be made has not been learned,
put something is sure to be done in IA
Vor OF basketball at Eastern.
The Business quint met defeat at the
hands OF the Friends team last week in
their opening game, but even. at this
the Stenographers are sure to be in the
race for the scholastic title. In Harris
and Boernstein the Penpushers have two
OF the best basketball players in the
local school, and they are sure to be
heard from before the close OF the sea-
son.
The real cause OF their defeat by the
Friends team was probably due to a sub
stltuton for Stobel, who is the best
oa asket-shooting man In the local schools
and II he had been allowed to play the
whole game a victory would more than
likely been scored by the Orange ana
Black.
The Western basket-halI SQUAD has a
likely looking bunch hard at work every
day In their gym and 1t will not be at
all surprising II the West Enders figure
prominently IN the run for the honors
capt. Jones, Doxon, Adams, Pepper, |
and Nicolson are the men left over from |
last years squad, and with these men !
serving as a nucleus. n fair team is ex- |
pected. The new men who are fighting !
for a job on the Red and White uuint |
are Smith. MackaIl. Fuller, Leetch, Cath-
sart Peyton, Welehen. Randolph, Ram |
sey, o'Brien, and Foley.
