Takes Scholastic Events in Games
in Boston,

BOSTON, February 2s.-Phillips-E Exeter
Academy athletes won the indoor cham
pionship Of the New England schools and
a second leg on the five-year prize cup
at the annual title games held by the
Boston Athletic Association today. They
amassed a total Of 25K points. scoring in
all but two of the nine events.
Worcester Academy was second with
II points, and Noble and Greenough
School of Boston third with IL
The feature Of the meet was furnished
by a special event-the Harvard Unfver-
sity quartet breaking the worlds record
for relay race Of 1850 yards in a
match with the Boston Athletic Assccia-
ton. Harvard's time was minutes 3
seconds. lettering by two and three
fifths seconds the record previously held
by their opponents.
Among the schoolboys the only re-
markable performance was that of c. M.
Jones of Phillips-Exeter. who equaied the
indoor interscholastic record Of 80 Sec
onds in winning the forty-yard dash.
Worcester Academy defeated Phillips
Exeter in their dual relay race in the
fastest time OF the day, minutes IA 4-5
seconds.

club and the Epiphany quint. The con-
test will take place at the Gonzaga Col
lege gymnasium.
The first game of base ball for the
majority Of the college teams is only
three weeks away, which means that the
clubs will have to do a lot of hustling II
they are going to get in shape to start.
for pitchers to get working right. and
it is too short If anything. for batters
to get their eye on the ball. The majority
Of the northern college squads have been
working for some time. and have conse-
quently a margin on the schools in the
middle Atlantic section. which are not
blessed with adequate indoor facilities for
workouts. The Johns Hopkins team is
said to have been working since the
latter part OF January in the cage, which
ought to give it a big advantage over the
other schools, especially in the first few
games of the season.
It is mighty nice for a college ball club
to have a veteran pitcher around whom to
build a capable hurting staff, and that
means that about half the problem is
solved. Catholic University is the only
one Of the schools in this immediate vicin-
ity that has not a real veteran to back
up it's corps of new hurlers. yet it has two
new men who are going to be very valua-
BILE if the reports of their ability are
lTue Anu even at tudt u u Ids at
least one good man from the staff of last
spring-Trayerx The Maryland Aggies
will rely on Hoffecker, Georgetown will
build its corps around Ffenle, and Gallau-
Diet will have as its mainstay Rasmussen.
1t would be difficult to find a better
college pitcher than Chris Fienle. Fienle
has the temperament and the disposition
which go to make a good performer on a
college team, and his general ability is
much above the average. He does not
have a world of speed. nor a record
breaking curve, but one thing he has
which the majority of other college hurl-
ers do not is ability to think. That has
won him many a game, and will win him
many more. And it is the best asset of a
pitcher, anyway.
Despite the fact that Catholic Univer-
used on the mound who are reported to
be fine performers, the most valuable
player in the college is likely to be Zach
airy. That youngster is a better catcher
than is playing in many a minor league
club, and he Is worth much to his team
The National Guard Athletic Associa-
ton will not hold an indoor meet this
year. Several reasons caused the idea
TO be dropped, but the plan is to develop
interest SO that an exceptional set of
games may be run off in 1915. In speak

The track and field games to be held
Saturday night under the auspices OF

ISOLATION will probably have more en-
tries of real class than have ever pre-
viously competed in a meet in the South
Atlantic States The fact that the Co

giving the big college men in the north
their opportunity to come to Washing

lance in the east this week.
Perhaps the most heavily represented

be Pennsylvania Not only will it have
in competition greater number OF men,
but it will also have on its entry list
some of the best performers in the
world. Patterson in the dashes. Lippin-
colt in the dashes and Meredith in the

anything in holding b track meet this
year. After looking over the field very
thoroughly We have become convinced
that there are not enough athletes In the
District to support q set OF games such
as we would care to hold. Our games
have always been for the District chang
pionship, and have consequently been
confined entirely to local talent If there
is not enough interest taken in the sport
this season among local boys to support
set of championship events. it would
be useless for US to attempt to hold

out again this year with avery capable

has proved himself very capable and has
shown an aptitude for pitching that is
exceptional. Many of those who have
watched him closely say that they ex-
pect him to be the star Of the series
this spring and that if he fails to keep
his team in the running it will be much
of surprise.
Within the next week or ten days it
is probable that every high schooi ana
