Two sports at Central High School,
swimming and golf. have been dropped
because Of lack of facilities. This was
announced by DR.. James Gallagher, as
sistant physical director, after meet
ing of the schools Athletic Commission
today:
1--WE have dropped swimming" said
DR.. Gallagher, because we are unable
to secure a pool. consider SWIM
ming the cleanest and best way of de.
velOpiny youngsters. but 1t cannot be
helped. Until Central Is able to get a
pool Of Its own the institution will have
no swimming team.
I'VE entered the Interscholastic Golf
League with the best intentions. Bit
lack Of links and the distance to the
nearest courses make It impossible for
us to have team. The expense, too,
was considered, but the main reason
was the lack Of links"
Preparations had been made by DR..
Gallagher to provide a good golf team,
one which he had expected would win
stars, including "Dickle" Wells. Gar.
lie. Ginsberg, w. Loeb, Charley Cor.
don, Baxter, Morrow, Rappc, Green.
span. Cohen. Hoolick, Riech, Leidner
and Brandies. The boys all were to
turn in an "honest co. on the Cobbs
Greek course before they could make
the team, and were striving hard every
day to do SO.

Ridley Park Busy
About fifty baseball candidates re-
ported for the recent. baseball call Mt
Ridley Park High School. Only three
veterans are back. and the material
isn't good. Anyway, that's the opin.
ion Of those closely connected with the
team.
Cochran, who did most of the pitch
ing last season. IS expected to come
through with some fine twirling again
this season. His fast one has hop on
It. and his curves are breaking nicely.
IQ hao n nc E..
a lot Of batters. ID. Robertson also is
showing lot Of promise, and probably
will see great deal of service in the
box.
Mike Moore. versatile athlete, will do
most of the catching. Last season he
played everything but first base, and
covered the positions in fine style. He
Is hefty hitter, and has a good throw
ing arm.
Coach Papenfus is having a time get.
ting his outfield and intield together.
At the present time he has only one
promising player for each position.
Ackleson, who played in several games
last year, probably will be at first base.
while Shelter will cavort in the outer
gardens.

Most Of last seasons players have
departed from the Swarthmore institu.
ion. II fact. the youngsters back from
the 102l squad were only substitutes. !
While at college Carter was con. /,
