After the brilliant showing of the West
Philadelphia High School track team in the
meet with Northeast, the West Philies are
now the favorites to win the indoor cham
pionship title. The orange and Blue rum
ners and jumpers form a well-balan need
squad. AS runners-up to Central High last
year, the team across the river looms up
very strong for so early in the season.
Reukauff. who won the fifteen-yard dash
and second in both the standing broad
Jump and shot-put, was the individual star
for West Philadelphia, but the many sec
ond and third places won by the Speed Bows
gave them their victory. Barron Stead
em, Toner. Grub, Krier, Walsh, Pearson
Wilson and Roberts were the point win,
ners for the Walnut street school.
Northeass Highs particular star WAS
Rodgers, CAPTAIN of the team who won
three first places. One man cannot win .
meet, and though Rodgers won the stand.
ing broad jump, the 22Oiyard dash and the
quarter-mile dash, the visitors were de-
feated by a score of AZ to 30 noint.
Rodgers showed that he would win more
scholastic honors in the sprints and mid
die distance runs and is running in fine
form.
Episcopal Academy has an important in
door dual track meet with Friends Can
trail School next Friday afternoon but II is
very doubtful IL many of the EpiscopaI
point winners In the recent meet with Cen
trail High will be able to compete against
the Blue and Gray squad.

track sports at the Locust street school and
their loss is a great blow to Coach AIex

Episcopal Academy
Frequently one hears of the selection of
a school coach or official to take up duties
In some important college event last
week. when Penn played Rutgers, the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania officials called upon
Philip G. Lewis, chairman of the approved
board of basketball referees to handle the
whistle In this contest.
Professor Lewis. who Is thoroughly fami,-
lar with the intercollegiate League rules
under which virtually all the school teams
now play, did very good work in this con-
test In fact, he had been asked to referea
the first half, but he did so well the officiaIs
in charge asked him to continue his work
throughout the game.
Ii is worthy Of note that the high scboo,
officials and men in charge Of basketball
affairs among the city schools are asked 10
take part in the proper handling Of coIIegs
contests, and it is a big compliment to tbe
scholastic officials who are qualified to take
up this work.

There used to be a time" says a writer,
when proselyting or scouting used to be

what does he mean by There used to be a

correct truth regarding the situation?
d. K. Hobby Jones' Jr., the young
golfer will be fifteen years old this March,
The report that he is seventeen or eight
cen Is untrue In every detail. He is the
youngest golfer that ever qualified in an
amateur championship.
Most Of those definitions concerning
courage were wrong" writes F. H. L.
Courage is not only a matter of heart
but at times 1t is also a matter of stomach
especially when there is anything the mat
ter. have seen more than one normally
courageous man curl up and fade out with
bad touch of indigestion. And sleepless
night has made many a player look like
gutter the next day as he tried to keep up
his part with unstrung and unsettled
nerves."
This diagnosis is absolutely correct. Cour-
age is very often a matter of last nights
sleep or todays digestion. The job Of
being brave and bilious at one and the
same moment is no light undertaking.
The ball players have varied the old
motto Strike while the iron is hot" to

But, in the spicy literature of the game.
what new phases are to take the places of
those employed to denote the spitbalHs

have buoyed us up since Jack Chesbro and

the gum-fed delivery?
We can do without the spitball in the
game. but how can we survive this blight
ing deficit from the games literature? That,
Governor, is decidedly another affair. If
the fan is to be deprived of this ancient
treat some substitute should be found to
take it's place. Otherwise the supply Of
balm left in the Gilead of the game will
be insufficient to carry us along.
