y LETTER MEN

TENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL students
" still are hoping to have a crew this
season. Some time G the supervisory
committee on public high school ath-
letics passed a ruling prohibiting local
institutions to have crews. This unex-
pected and unpopular move caused
more gloom among the Crimson and
Gold students han those of other
schools, for Central has had a crew for
many seasons. while the others have
supported Fights now and then, mostly
then.
But a ray OF light. hope and every
thing is seen in the announcement that
on Friday afternoon the supervisory
committee will hold an open meeting, the
first of its kind in the history of the
controlling organization. Each school
Will be permitted to send three dele
gates from its student body, TO be
elected by the sophomore, Junior and
senior classes.
Elect Delegates
The Central elections were held last
week. The senior class will be repre-
scented by Bennett, of football and crew
fame; the juniors by Eddowes, a football
and baseball player, and the sophomore
class by Dietweiler. a member of the
track squad. These three have been in
structed TO urge the committee to recon-
slider their action toward crew work.
Professor Hill, the faculty adviser OF
the crew has promised to do his utmost
II meets can be arranged with Penn
fresh. Princeton fresh or any Of the local
high schools.
At the last meeting Of the supervisory
committee 1t was stated that Central
couldn't have a crew unless they would
have local school competition. Henry
Brachold, chairman of Northeast athletic
committee, has said that Northeast
would not have a crew this season
owing to the great expense and the lacl
OF coaching material in the school fac,
ulty. This leaves the matter entirely
up TO West Philadelphia High, as Ger
mantown, Southern or frankfort nevel
had a crew and little hopes are held on
for their organizing one this season.
During the last three weeks the Cen
trail students have been urging the form
ing Of a crew. 1t is expected that
mass meeting will be held shortly to plai
|, an active campaign. There is plent.
