Cinder Path Wednesday
in School Yard.
SCHOOLBOY COMMENT
By "BUCKn HoWARp.

! IN tnlS season Dy the students OF the
various high schools will take place on
| Wednesday afternoon at Tech, when the
\ teams representing the junior and senior
| classes meet each other in a dual affair
! in the school yard
Some especially good performances are
/ expected TO be made, as the men have
been working faithfully for several weeks
| under the direction Of their coach, and
while no record-breaking is looked for
| who witness the games will no doubt go
home satisfied, with something to talk
about
Ex-Capt Robert Hardell stated yes
terday that the meet is being held solely
/ for the purpose Of getting a line on the
available timber. and also will help to
condition the men for the various in
: door meets to be held in the near future.
I As far as class rivalry is concerned,
| Capt. Taylor and his band Of Junior COM
rades look to have the call on the men
who are delivering their valedictory to
high school athletics. While there are
several good men in the senior class. it
is considerably outnumbered in star per-
formers by the lower grade.
One OF the big features OF the meet will
be the relay race between the two classes.
The junior relay will be made up of
Clarkson, Tibbetts, Parks, Cole, and Och
senreitcr. while the seniors will draw
four men for this event from Rooney,
Johnson. Hardell, Harsch, Gibson, ana
MCCARTHY.
The following athletes will take part
in the games: Juniors-Carr, WHEELER.
Parks. Tibbetts, Ochsenreiter. Cole, Clark
son, Taylor. Chase, and Mobley. Seniors
Lockwood. Beavers, Rooney. johnson,
Harsch. Mccarthy. T. Mccarthy. Gibson,
and Hardell.
The probable list Of events follow: 30
yard dash, go 40 and SSo-yard dashes.
mile high jump, standing and running
broad jump, shot put and relay.
With the aid Of several funks, it was
expected that "Tacks" Mccarthy would
be available for this years baseball team.
but that feet-footed outer gardner OF the
Manual Trainers has been throwing the
ink to a e-the-welI lately and is now
in line for midyear graduation. Mccarthy
is not the only ball player in the school
now that will graduate in February, as
Pony Stecd. the brainy little receiver
OF the past few years, is also to receive
a receipt for his four years of scholas-
tic work.
When the ball season rolls around the
persons in charge at Teck will find these
two men harder to replace than is now
expected. Steed was everything to his
pitcher and has often been responsible
for the good showing made by his hurl-
or. On the other hand it is doubtful
il the local high schools have ever
turned out a ball player more finished
than Mccarthy. He is a good hitter,
capable of bunting when needed, and
covers a lot of ground in the outfield.
The fact that the five high schools
have accepted invitations to participate
T.. hn IfrrN,s
the interest that is being AIKEN in this
affair. locally. When word was received
yesterday from Technical. Business, and
Western that each would send a large
contingent to the meet. plans for all the
high schools were started, as Central
and Eastern had accepted a few days
previous. All of the track squads are
now in training and close competition
for schoolboy honOrs is expected in these
games.
Most Of the local schools will also be
seen in the Georgetown meet, to be held
few weeks later. An attractive program
has been arranged by the authorities at
Georgetown for their benefit. Two events.
the 30 and 40 yard dash has been closed
to them. \ silver loving cup will be
given to the high school or preparatory
school that scores the greatest number
Of points. while a relay race has been
arranged for. and the school winning this
event, besides getting individual cups, will
receive q team trophy. So get busy,
sChOOlboys. and show your speed
Some bad stuff was pulled in the new
preparatory basketball league Yesterday
when the FairmOnt team failed to put in
an appearance in a regular league game
with the Army and Navy Academy. A
is said to be the cause
of the forfeit, but. il this kind of thing
is r"sOrted to in the future. the interest
is art to die down in he new Organiza-
ton. The forfeit was granted to the
Academy quint by Charles r. Cox, secre-
tary. in the absence of John O'Reilly,
the leagues president
When Edmund l.. Jones. at present
a star track man at Georgetown. grad
uated from Western, it was believed
that the Red and White would go
many a day before 1t developed an
other man as capable as the Blue and
Gray sprinter. Not detracting a single
iOta from the sterling high school per-
formanCes of Jones, Coach Morse has
a man now ready to go up against the
best scholastic sprinters in the coun-
try. The lad referred to is Sylvester
Westerns best bet in the
spring meet last year and this
years captain of track. Although a
star in track athletes last
year. MaXan is even more capable this
year. which places him as easily the
best dash man in the local schools
That he will prove the best in the
field this winter is conceded by all who
have seen him work.
Unless Business has in school a
pitcher with unknown ability, one of
the Wise boys will again have to come
to it's rescue. Ray" and Buck" have
had considerable experience in the box, |
although II is not their regular posi-
tion. Blundon. who was out for the |
position last year can hardly be de- |
pended upon to show anything from |
the rife pit as he did not fair very
well last year when he was called to |
work against Eastern In the absence |
OF Kelly.
