HIGH SCHOOL STARS
At PRINCETON PREP
Sheehan, Tech, and Won
ScheIIe, Western, Local Ath-
Ietes, Enter That School.
BY II. C. BYRD.

Two former athletes from local high
schools recently entered the Princeton
Preparatory School, where George Green.
former st. Alban's physical director. is in
charge of athletics. Monroe Sheehan.
Techs star track man, and Marshall Won.
Schelle. Westerns swimmer and basket
ball player, have affiliated with the New
Jersey institution. Sheehan is represent
ing the school in track meets and Won
Schelle is playing on the basket ball team.
Sheehan probably was the fastest half
miller ever developed in the Washington
high schools. At Tech. without coaching,
he negotiated the half and quarter in
splendid time proving SO much better than
his opponents in scholastic ranks that
there was little competition for first place
in the half-nile events in which he ran.
Won Schelle played basket ball at West
ern, though his best work was done in
swimming. representing Western and the
Washington Swimming Club. Both ath-
letes should star under Green's direction.
Eastern High did not have an easy
game with Technical yesterday in the
high schol basket ball series, not by
any means. The Manuel Trainers
played very well defe8ively. the final
placed Eastern in second place. with
four victories and three defeats. Cen
trail leads with six games won and only
one lost. The contest dropped by
barely nosed it out unexpectedly.
Two basket ball games between COL
leges are to be played here today.
Gallaudet and Georgetown meet in
the Ryan gymnasium. at Georgetown,
at $3.50 o'clock. and Catholic Univer-
sity and ST. Johns Of Annapolis play
tonight in the gymnasium of the boys
- Ind
on basis of what the four teams
have accomplished in the previous part
of the season, Georgetown and Catho-
lie L. should be victors.
Country" Morris, former Technical
High and Maryland State athletic star,
plans to take an all-star basket ball
team to Martinsburg Friday night for
town. The game is arousing a lot
of interest around Martinsburg, as
Morris is we'll known in that town.
being manager of the base ball team
which represents it in the Blue Ridge
League.
Lehigh has offered Maryland State
two dates. on its foot ball schedule. In
all probability neither will be accepted.
The first, September 2S, is entirely too
filled by the Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute. A strong possibility exists
that State will not open its gridiron
schedule next fall until october IL. the
latest opening it has ever carded in
foot ball. Probably the college. will
not begin it's fall term until after Octo-
ber 1, and enough time to get the men
in shape is desired. Last fall the team
was compelled to play before it was
ready and injuries resulted, which were
carried throughout the whole year and
prevented the best development being
attained. Gallaudet has been offered
October 5; and. if it accepts, will be
played; otherwise there will be no foot
ball games for the States until October
H. If State could have seen its way
schools offering dates it would have
had a schedule hard enough for two
teams.
Catholic University and Maryland
State probably viii play two base ball
games this spring. one at Brookland
and the other at College Park. Catholic
University and Georgetown, which had
a split" in athletics some time ago, are
about the only institutions in this
vicinity which will not engage in base
ball contests with each other this
spring.
Basket ball is nearing its end for this
year. The high school series will finish
next Tuesday, when Central and West
contest. The following Saturday night
the four teams in the intercollegiate
League get together for their final
games. Georgetown has only one more
set-to listed, and after this week neither
Catholic University nor Gallaudet has
Independent meetings. With the excep-
ton of few isolated meetings. the two
games in the collegiate organiza tion
Saturday, March .. will wind up the
year.
