however, comes from some of the larger
Bschools, such as Mercersburg, Balti-
more Polytechnic Institute, George

Westtown Friends School and Perkio-
men Seminary.

for third. Central, which in former

only able to place fifth last year.

Nany prediction as to the possible high
'forers. Mercersburg, a new entry in
-bkae Swarthmore interscholastics, comes
\9Sith a championship relay team and a
fSquad of some of the best athletes in
1.-THE East. Baltimore Poly can always
Ebe depended upon to put fast team in
