The william Penn Charter School
continued it's splendid work IN he ath-
letic field during the season just COM
pleted and walked off with virtually all
the honors in the Interacademic League.
The South Twelfth street institution
finished first in the football competition
with a clean slate in the titular match
es; first on the track championship
meet, with less than a point to spare /:
won the tennis and baseball title. and
in addition won the cricket champion
ship Of the Interscholastic League.
For some reason or other, the Penn
Charter teams during the last four or
Ave seasons have proved too strong for
ISOLATION. But the conditions may be
reversed next season, when the teams
meet on the gridiron. track, diamond,
courts and the crease.
Fifteen of the best athletes who rep
resented the Penn Charter School during
the season just completed and four
managers are among the forty-two
members of the senior class who re-
Thursday. The majority of these If
teen athletes played on more than one
team. due to the small number of stu
dents, so loss of these fifteen is equal
at a school with a larger enrolment.
Star All.Around Athletes
The work of several athletes stood out
more prominently during the past sea.
son than others. For instance. the play.
ing of Fleming on the gridiron and
on the diamond Is deserving of special
mention, as is that Of Tad Brown or
the gridiron, diamond, cinder path and
crease. He was captain of the track and
cricket teams. His bowling was the fea-
ture of the cricket season. Another star
performer was Jacobs. who played base
| ball, tennis and was a member of thu
track team.
