BY BRYAN MORSE.

Washington college and high
school athletes are competing today
in two track meets which are of more
than passing interest. In the Cen
tral High School stadium the annual
field and track games for the title
are being conducted, with five schools
competing. At Kendall Green. Gal
laudet College is acting as host to
Maryland University and George
Washington University in a triangu-
lar meet. The high school meet will
be a one-sided triumph for Central,
which school expects to land its sec
ond championship within two days.
The triangular affair is tryout for
the athletes.
The year in athletics has been
tough shedding for Central Bounced
out of the title by two tie games in
football, buffeted about in basketball
by smaller teams, the baseball team
came to life under the direction of
Gould Menefes and Harry White.
Yesterday the baseball team won the
title from Tech in it's final game.
Today Bill Foley's track team Is ex-
pected to double the point total made
by the combined efforts of both Tech
and Western, the strongest opponents
Of Central. While Business and East
ern are competing they Ire not ex-
pected to do = great deal In point
scoring.
A few Of the high school athletes in
today's meet have promise for tho fu-
ture. Johnston, Kern. Melton, McFad-
den, Wilton. Shipley, Tyree and Wes-
sells, of Central, appear to class with
some of tho best that Bill Foley has
ever turned out.
Pugh and McNabb. of Tech: Davis,
Nicols. Wright and Douglas. Of West
ern. with Myers, of Eastern, stack up
with tho other good oness.
The triangular college meet IL de-
signed to start activities for the fu-
ture. Those in charge of athletics at
the three institutions have in mind
annual features for the development
of athletes and the creation OF more
interest in track athletics.
Plans went somewhat awry two
weeks ago when . deluge of rain
called of activities. Today the ath-
lstes arc competing and, while they
are not in tho best OF condition. can
be expected to give q fairly good ac-
count of themselves.

ty-nine goals to four in preliminary
