Central and Northeast Expect
Rival Stars to Cause
Upsets


fight IL out for the city high school
track and field championship tomorrow.
but the interest in the final games will
not center in the performance of these
schools. Germantown High may win
a few places which may cost either
school the chance to land the title.
upSets are sure to happen, for Frank
ford. Southern. West Philadelphia and
Germantown have stars who arc sure
to exceed Ccntral's and Northeasts
speed limit in many of the events.
Central High has won the title scv-
enteen out Of eighteen times. For that
reason Northeast will try even harder
to wrest the honors away from the
! Crimson and Gold and with an eighteen
point handicap, amounting to an eight
point lead with the usual scoring con
dtions. this will be big advantage to
the Red and Black. II would simply
be guesswork 10 pick the winner as so
many things can happen the tide OF
victory may go either way. u is rea-
sonably sure that no other school will
| win. however.
! The spriutcrs will line up with
honOrs about even. Bumm and Killing
man are Northeast stars. while Nc
! Donald. Lasar aud Paritt are the Cen
tral leaders. Foley. Of Southern. is
also speedy and will likely take place
| near the front. Lazar's recent showing
stamps him as favoritc. but ther"
is no telling what Bumm will do. Bumm
. should win the 90 yard dash and Is

place. Will he come through!
Kisseilhofr Bears Watching
There is a youngstcr NJ Germantown
High who will bear watching. He is
Kisselhof. who is coming along at a
speedy gait in the quarter. Slcmmer and
Hcmmerley. Of Northeast Gillespie. OF
Germantown Leopold, Of Southern, and
Frazier. of West Philadelphia, will
probably place. Just which Of these
runners will finish sixth is a problem,
but they all look good for first or sec
ond and the finish should be n thriller.
The critics pick Slemmer or Hemmers-
ley to win. They have both made an
enviablc record in the quarter and half
mile events.
Captain Cullman.. Of Central High.
is n likely winner OF the two mile run.
Unless an upset occurs here this is Il
sure first place for Central. but sheer
grit and determination, combined with
the necessary strength and endurance.

probable scoring here.
Captain Keplinger and Ieibis. OF
West Philadelphia. are favorites for the
Orange and Blue. Long and Leopold
, but not in this case the Leopold OF
Southern. are the Northeast High favo
rites. and Long usually gives Cullmar
the fight of his life for first place. so il
should be an event well worth witness
ing.
Central High has the best class in tho
. hurdles, with Russell. Baral and Ford
in line for points. Russell and Bara
