Three of the local high schools have
lost stars of their track and field squads,
youngsters whom they Will nave great
difficulty in replacing. Western. Central
and Technical ranks were depleted con-
siderably last spring when several men
left the schools, some having graduated
and others having gone to other 1nstleu-
tions.
Three men were lost off the Western
team who are not likely to be replaced.
TYLER. who won the pole vault in the
meet at the Maryland Agricultural Col
leee. and got the points which enabled
Western to tie for first place; Rose.
sprinter, broad jumper and pole vaulter
of no mean ability. and Rakemann.
sprinter, have quit the school. 1t will
be almost an impossibility for Coach
Morse to develop men as capable within
the short time allowed before the impor-
tant meets to be held next spring.
Central and Tech lost several men. but
their main setbacks were incurred In the
graduation of Hardell and Galloway.
Hardell was the best quarter-miler the
high schools have produced in some
time, with the exception of Edmund
Jones, while Galloway held the same
distinction in regard to his efforts In the
mile. Hardell represented Tech and Gal
loway wore Central colors.
OF course, the coaches in these
schools have been working to produce
men capable of taking the places of
the lost stars. but the ones sent in to
run these events are not likely to be
as capable as the veterans. Every
mentioned was mighty
clever performer and al are pouna 10
be heard from in whichever colleges
they enter. AS a matter of fact, three
of them are already in college, Har-
dell and Galloway being at Michigan
and Rakemann being at M. A.. c.
Prof. Joyce is very enthusiastic about
the apparent revival of interest In
racing that seems to be
taking place in Baltimore and WASH
ington. Prof. Joyce, who formerly
was physical Instructor at Georgetown
and is now occupying the same posi-
tion at the Carroll Institute, is work.
ing hard toward this end and seems to
be succeeding considerably. He Will
hold an intercity event here early next
week, and will also have charge of the
south Atlantic championship. affair Sat
urday, January g. Here is what Prof:
Joyce has to say about the eventsi OF
next week and his own team:
Il think we are. going to. have two
taking every possible precaution to
have the course in good condition. Ar
have been made with Scout
master Taylor for the Boy Scouts to
act as checkers. SO that visiting run
ners will not lose the direction of the
course. I do not know just what
entries I will make, in, the intercity
race, but the choice will be from the
following: Williams, Healy, Stanley,
Bloomer, Dougherty. Schmidt, Covert:
Adams, Dillon, Matthews, Downey,
Black and Lynch. All these will take
part in the south Atlantic champion
ship event, and think will come near
landing it. They are all capable, per-
formers. and 1t is especially worth
while to say that every man; has been
developed recently at the Carroll In
stitute. not one of them having accom-
plished anything worth while before
going out for the team there I, am
glad to see greater, interest, taken in
cross s-country running, because I think
it Is good sport. and l will continue
to do all in my power to further it."
There is no doubt that the main rea-
son for the poor tackling being done
by the majority of college foot ball
teams nowadays is the forward pass.
1t is very seldom that an eleven shows
the clean, hard, low tackling that used
