Point Trophy.
JONES SHOULD BE
BIG POINT SCORER
Representative of Red and White
Capable in Dashes and
Broad Jump.
BY H. c. BYRD.

The inter-hgh school track and field
meet to be held tomorrow will be the
largest that has taken place between
the schools in several years. 1t was
stated at Central High this morning
that the list of entries was one of the
best that has ever been had and that
the number of boys who will compete
exceeds anything of recent seasons Also
more interest will be conferred in the
games, in view of the fact that for the
first time in a mighty long while it is
not certain that Central will score the
most points.
There are certain to be many events
in which the performances OF the in
d1viduals will be above the average
There are two or three men entered
who are sure to accomplish better
marks than any that have been scored
in recent years Jones of Western will,
if he is extended. run the 220-yard dash
in faster time than it has been done
in lately, and he should also negoti-
ate the 40 in time lower than the
average. The same man is practically
certain to win the broad jump, and, as
he is fairly sure to leap more than
twenty feet. there looms up no one
who will come anywhere near him.
Brewer and Rose of Western, Rankin,
Gibson and Hardell of Tech. and Good
man, Galloway and Speidell Of Central
are the LAOS who are expected to accom-
plish most for their schools. Brewer. next
to Jones, is perhaps as capable a sprint
as there is in the schools; Rose can do
credtable work in the pole vault, broad
jump and 40; Rankin Is by far the best
high jumper, Hardell is a quarter-miler,
who can do the distance in close to 81
seconds. according to his coach, and Glib
10 ~ q IN 70 I'm he hot =.
Goodman is a broad jumper and dash
man, Galloway is the fastest distance
runner. and Speidel is pretty apt to win
the pole vault These men are sure to
figure in every first place that is secured
and 1t is likely that the meet will be
determined by the number of seconds
that can be secured.
The one thing that causes greater in
terest in the meet is that Western has.
at least, an even chance to win the point
trophy The Red and White team admit
teddy is the equal of the one that will
represent the Central. and should show
we'll, even though, by chance, 1t does not
score the greatest number OF points. If
there Is no mistake, Central has won
every high school track meet for the last
sixteen years, truly remarkable record.
and now that another school stands an
excellent chance to beat 1t out II is small
wonder that exceptional interest is taken
in the prospects.
The meet will be held on the Maryland
Agricultural College track.
system at Central that it has been abe
to go through such a length of time with-
out loss. The Blue and White has been
under the competent instruction of Bill
Foley during the greater period of that
time. and that fact has done much to
place 1t in position where it could win.
None of the other schools has had an
instructor long enough to esta blish firmly
real system of development. and that
is the main reason why none Of them
has been able to win few times.
Catholic University is scheduled to
meet the Dickinson College nine to-
morrow. The Brooklanders will go
against team that is probably one
of the strongest in that section of
Pennsylvania, but on comparative
scores the local university stands an
excellent chance to win. The Dickin-
son bunch lost to the Navy, while
Catholic University won from the Mid
shipmen rather easily.
The Maryland Aggies will play
Delaware College a College Park, and
according to reports concerning the
strength of the Delaware nine they
will probably be against a real bail
club. 1t is said that Delaware has the
best nine that has represented it in
several years. and that seems to be
sustained by the fact that 1t com
pletely swamped Johns Hopkins.
The game will be played in the morn

reference with the high school track
meet in the afternoon. 1t was original
ly scheduled to be played in Newark
but was transferred to College Park
because of the examinations to be held
at VI. A. C..

pitching for Catholic University to-
morrow against Dickinson. The Brook

1t may be. though. that Coach Moran
will give each of his three mainstays
chance in order to keep them in good
condition.
Catholic University has five more
games on it's schedule. 1t will meet
Dickinson tomorrow. Next Thursday
1T will go against Notre Dame; Sat

to appear at Brookland, and May IS
