"rhe Interaccdemic Athletic Associa-
ton has suffered n severe loss by the
death Of Dr. Richard Mott Jones, for
forty-two years headmaster Of the Will
liam Penn Charter School From its in
Ception in 1887 the association has had
no better and wiser friend than Doctor
Jones. The first meeting called for the
purpose Of its organization was held
in the assembly room of his school on
February II. 1887, and ever since that
date the association has enjoyed the
privilege of his unfagging interest and
Illuminating suggestions.
In the branch OF athletics, as else
where, he was a pioneer who visualized
the developments Of the future and by
his cor2tancy and vigor helped pow
erfully to bring them about. Not few
of the rules that have made the assoca-
ton 80 successful for the last thirty
wears are due to his direction and their
wisdom is proved by the fact >that in
several cases they have been adopted
not only by other school leagues, but by
similar organizations Of competing col
leGes,

tion hereby records its sense OF the debt
il owes to The late headmaster of the

Russ White and Nick Carter, the two
best al-around prep school athletes de-
yeloped in this section for some time,
have matriculated at Swarthmore COL
lege, which institution appears to have
somewhat Of a monopoly on the best
athletes graduating from Northeast.
White and Carter. as members Of the
| football, baseball, basketball and soccer
teams. helped to bring many victories
to the Archives and they should have
| little trouble In adding to their athletic
achievements while at Swarthmore.
They have Joined the basketball squad
and under Joe Fogarty's instruction
should blossom forth as cage stars.
1t is in baseball and football. how
ever, that Carter and White are ex-
pected to do big things. Last season
Carter was the best punter In the
scholastic ranks, his boots averaging
fifty yards. In addition, he Is a first
class drop-kicker. While Nick did al
the punting for Northeast, White Is
capable of punting within few yards OF
his teammate.
Boxing in Schools
Central High School will open its In
door track season this afternoon with
Episcopal Academy as its opponent ir
the Mirrors gym. Neither team Il
overburdened with first-class material
so scholastic fans shouldn't look FOL

What's that You say Doctor Ker
physical instructor of South Philadel
phla High SCHOOL, Is planning To star
classes In boxing. We hope It's true

Of conditioning an athlete. Can yo'

ring and begin throwing jabs. jolt
and lust plain punches at one another
