TECHS ATHLETES
EASILY WIN MEETS

Defeating Eastern, Business
and Western on Track.

Athletes representing Business,
Western and Eastern High Schools
were no match for those wearing
track and field meets held in place of
the annual championships. In the
meet now designated as the cham
pionships the Manual Trainers got
very little opposition. except in one
or two events; and in the other set Of
games. termed the interscholastic
they had things just about as much
their own way. In the championships
Tech scored 81 points. against 80 for
Western and each for Business aud
Eastern. The points garnered by the
many third places. Western also fin
ished second in the interscholastics.
Business and Eastern did not score a
point in the competitions run under
that heading.
Tech Men Do Excellent Work.
Tech athletes did sterling work in
several events. and there would have
been some splendid competition had
they had more opposition. Without
being pushed several of the Manual
Trainers b]ossomed forth with per-
formances that would have stood the
test in almost any scholastic games.
Ben Carpenter ran the 220-yard dash
in 0.22 AS. much better time than is
usual for a race between schoolboys.
Hough did the half mile without
being pushed in "a As, a performance
which stands much to the credit of
the little fellow. Hough looked wnen
he started as If he did not have
strength enough to finish a half, but
he set a fast even pace the whole way
and crossed the chalk mark going
about as well as when he started,
Gross time for the mile in a walk
away race also was not in anyway
discreditable. Mcnamara did the
quarter in the championship event in
just q little over So seconds. which
is going at a mighty good gait, es-
pecially considering that he had no
opposition.
Tech showed that it had a good ALL
round squad in the fact that its
athletes won consistently in the sec
ondary meet as well as in the main
events. And several OF the young
sters turned in just as good or better
performances than>he men who were
throw with the javelin in the inter-
scholastfcs was more than twenty feet
better than the mark set by Guervich
in the championships. There was
only one second difference in the rum
ming Of the mile, and four seconds
difference in the half. Sherry in the
pole vault beat the championship
mark by inches.
Westerns athletes did good work,
though as a general thing they We're
outclassed by Techs more experienced
and stronger squad. New conditions
did not aid Business and Eastern to
make any better showing than they,
have in previous years.

tude'it will adopt at the peace confer
ence regarding the. freedom Of the
seas, according to the Daily Express

American naval program as set forth
by Secretary Daniels and says:
Official circles in London are COM

the grateful tributes to the British
navy by former President Roosevelt,
Admiral Sims and other Americans.
The British government is ready to
concede to the United States the
freest of all free hands in naval de-

of the extension of American sea
power as one of the best guarantees
of the peace Of the world and of real
freedom of the seas.

UP TO BEST
TRADITIONS
Sailors Conduct Selves Bet.
ter During War Than
+ During Peace Times.

Washington. Dec. 12.-The navy
lived up to its best traditions during
the war and sailors almost invariably
conducted themselves better than IN
peace times. Despite the large num-
Der Of men inducted into service from
civil life, which increased the naval
force 1874 per cent, there were fewer
violations of navy regulations. The
percentage Of court martials de-
creased from LIS to Ill in the navy
and from 2.72 to 1.20 in the Marine
Corps.
This fine record Of the sailors be-
havior was revealed today in the an
nual report Of Captain George r..
Clark, Judge advocate general, who
also took occasion to commend the
improved conditions in naval prisons,
which he attributed largely to the ef-
| forts Of the Welfare league. In re-
Fferring to excellent conditions at the
Portsmouth, N. H., yard, the judge
advocate general said the system
| there was initiated by Thomas Mott
