st. Albans' track stars. admitted
the best in the District, may be held
out of individual events in the
winter meets and nursed along for
the spring engagements unless
Coach George Green is coaxed into
allowing his youngsters to compete
in the sprints.
There is no question but that
Brewer, Maxam, Carter, Wallace,
Hauser and Pridmore form as
strong a track team as 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
tion, 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 year his youngsters were placed on
scratch and tho Handicapped was so
liberal that wins for the Blue and White
were few and far between.
II do not propose to put my boys I'm
the Hopkins-F Regiment meet and
then find majority of college athletes
receiving the limit handicap on them.
said Coach Green. "In the GEORGETOWN
meet last wear. Hornsby. Of Tome, was
-Eiyen 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
n 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
r Is In vogue this season we will take our
chances indoors with relays. and will
hold out OF other races until we can
get a chance at the outdoor meets for
the schoolboys," continued Coach Green.
st. Adams is planning to take part
in the indoor meets here this winter. will
go to baltimore. and will probably send
hve boys to the Meadowbrook games in
Philadelphia, January 49,. Tome PhIla-
delphia,y PRINCETON, ana Newark will be
tlsfted fot the spripg enlargement IL the
plans laid out are followed through.
