St. Albans' track stars. admitted
the best in the District, may be held
out of individual events in the
winter meets and nursed along Tor
the spring engagements unless
Coach George Green is coaxed into
allowing his youngsters to compete
in the sprints.
There is no question but that
R,ewer, Maxam, Carter, Wallace,
Hauser and Pridmore form as
strong a track team rs could be
wished for. Brewer and Maxam
have been invincible in the century
and furlong. Carter is the best of
the middle distancers in this sec
ton, and Wallace is not only a
fairly good sprinter, but an excep-
tional weight man.
What seems to stick in the mind of
the St. Adams coach Ia the fact that
last wear his youngsters were placed on
scratch and the Handicapped was so
liberal that wins for the Blue and White
were few and far between.
Il do not propose to put nv boys in
the Hopkins-Fifth Regiment meet and
then find majority of college athletes
receiving the limit handicap OH them.
said Coach Green. "ln the GEORGETOWN
meet last year Hornsby. of Tome, was
given the limit handicap in the open and
scholastic fifty. and was never even
pushed in either race. Brewer was
placed on scratch and never even had
Il chance to win. Rose. another st. AL
bans boy. was handicapped up to nine
teen yards in the quarter and could not
hope to get through for a place even.
III the same system of handicapping
is In vogue this season we will take our
chances indoors with RELAYS. and will
hold out OF other races until we can
get chance at the outdoor meets for
the schoolboys. continued Coach Green.
