FORMIDABLE TRACK
SQUAD DEVELOPING
At WESTERN HIGH
West End School Expected to
Be Best Represented in
Dash Events.

One of the most formidable teams In
the history of Western High should
represent the school this season. 81
training performances of the squad can
be taken as an indication. The squad
numbers about thirty-five. and appears
to surpass the other high schools in
many respects, but especially from a
standpoint of sprinters.
In the dashes Western can reasonably
be expected to compete favorably with
any of the school boy runners OF this
section, and make a clean sweep of
sprints in the interhigh school games
in the spring providing the squad re-
mains intact. Captain Jones heads the
dash men, and is perhaps the best bet
of the Westenders. In the spring meet
last June he was barely beaten in the
century race by Fritz Reuter-, of Cen
trial. who was forced to cover the dis
tance IN 10 Us seconds to defeat the
Western captain. Jones has shown all
of the form this season which ranked
him among the best last year. Before
the seasons end he should command
respect as the leading sprinter in the
high schools.
Brewer and Rose, though not as
epcc0S dc CAPITA UNUSUALLY
fast for high school runners. They
have acquired excellent form as result
of steady training. and are good rum
ming mates for Jones. These head the
list of dash men, but any number of
others seem capable Of good perform
Rnces In scholastic competition.
During the indoor season western
will be represented In meets chiefly by
relay teams, though men are to be
started in scholastic events of distances
up to the quarter mile. Three relay
teams will be entered in the Johns
Hopkins, George Washington. and
Georgetown meets. Providing the first
teams showing proves satisfactory in
the indoor races and during outdoor
training, Western will, in all probabil-
fly have a representative in the Penn
sylvania relay carnival in April
There are comparatively no distance
men in training, but efforts will be
made to develop men for the longer
distances. The few field candidates in
school win not begin activities until
spring.
The list of those in training at west
ern include the following athletes:
Jones. Unz. Brewer, Rakemn, Rock,
Rose Needham. Bridget, Ansley. Dom
