81 ntZ Brewer, of -. Adams, and one
OF the fastest men that has ever matri-
culat"d in the local schools, was the
cynosure of all eyes as the result of his
sensational performances in the Meadow
brook Club indoor track carnival staged
in Convention Hall, of Philadelphia, Sat
urday evening.
Brewer. with only eight inches handi-
cap in Il 5C-yard invitation rae, ran third
to Myers the Irish-AmeriCGn champion,
and second to the far-famed LOomis. Of
the Chicago A. y. and holder of four
worlds records. In the Jo-yard open
event he finished second to sMyers. but
failed to enter the finals. as only one
man qualified in each heat.
Crawford another product of Coach
Green. Of st. AlbanS. finished fifth in
the open mii. with a handicap of forty
five yards. Many stars were entered in
this event. including Johnny Gallagher,
a former Georgetown star, who CAPTURED
second place.
Coach Bryan Morse and his Western
Pops" showed a new kind of the real
cayenne Yesterday whe'l word was re-
ceived that Earl Il. Fuller would ofticiate
in the next contest with Business. instead
of Paul r. Obst. After receiving what
he considered a raw deal, Morse pro-
ceeded to ask for waivers on Obst and
the protest was Immediately sustained
by DR.. William &. Hudson. president
or the league and coach of the Business
Qunt. There is not a man on the
team" said Capt. Peck Yesterday. who
wants to play another game with Obsr
officiating" The players came right out
in plain language and stated that Obst
did all he could, in every Western con-
test to win for the other team.
Fuller Is sure to give satisfaction, as
he is close student of the game and has
been associated with the Y. VI. G. \. in
Boston. which is the largest branch in
the United States.
It is very likely that after the Contro-
vcrSy over Mr.. Obst dies down the league
president and others associated with ii
will gather and sing that pathetic little
ballad, Were All Wrong. Queensbury.
Wc'r" All Wrong" Then each will try
to figure out just what motive caused
him to stray far away from the path of
reason to enter and sustain a protest
against Il Y. NJ &. \. official. This or
canization is extending the privilege of
the use Of its gymnasium, the best i'll
town. and furnishing two professional
officials without charge. Now. il follows
that the schools are apt TO lose tho right
to stage intcrhigh games at the 'l. and

looks as though a real ''Merklc'' has been
pulled.
Coach Harry CoIliflower has had his
Tech baseball charges outdoors for thu
past three days. and is optimistic over
the prospects for a good team. Inc
Manual Trainers are badly in need of
two infielders to take the places left
vacant by Joe IIanIein and Judy Simp-
son. of last year. hut from the way Capt
Roberts. a former outficlder. and Les
Myers. also of the pastures. it looks IS
though the infield will be well taken care
of Myers has been working out at first.
while Roberts has been cavorting around
third with Flood. OChsenreiter Is in the
shortficld, while EiSeman is among the
promising men at the keystone. With a
few more good days Collifiower is sure
to land good combination, which will
fortify the inner defense.
The schedule announced by George
Ellis. manager of the Eastern HlGh
School baseball team, is an attractive
list for the coming season. This IN
cludes seven games on the road which
