well as ne ever uiu.
The Maryland athlete sprang into
prominence several years ago az
track star at Western High School
and at st. Adams Under the tutel-
age of George F. Green. who was
coach ut st. Adams at that time,
Brewer was extensively campaigned
In schoolboy meets.
+. w. Ruben picked him as the
premier sprinter among schoolboy
ranks in 1915 and credited him with
q record of 94-6 seconds for the
hundred. Brewers most advertised
feat was the victory over Howard
Drew at the Meadowbrook games in
Philadelphia in the "Meadowbrook
Fifty"
In addition with Crawl" Carter.
SILLY" Maxam and Ray Wallace,
Brewer won the championship In
door mile relay race from Jimmy
Curran's Mercersburg quartet and
broke the indoor record.
Brewer entered Maryland just
before the war started. He then
Joined the famous Usaac unit at
Allentown, Pa, was later trans
ferred to Camp jackson and gained
. neutenancy reporting to- the ra-
do station at College Park. Md,
and then going back to jackson.
Brewer playing two seasons with
tho Usaacs but did no track work.
During the past two seasons
Brewer has played football at
Maryland and gained national
reputation on account of his punt
ing and drop kicking ability in ad-
dition to his speedy work in broken
field running.
To our way OF thinking Brewer is
the best all-around athlete that was
ever developed in Washington. As
a schoolboy he played football. base
ball, basketball. ran track and
played tennis creditably. He has
pitched and played infield and out.
field and bats both right and left
handed.
Brewers track activities included
a. ~,nting up to and including the
quarter mile. He has run a quarter
IN 81 flat. He was good for better
than twenty-one feet in the broad
lump, has done five feet SIX in the
high Jump and was a good low
hui iler.
The Marylander 10 as accurate a
basketball player as he is a base
ball player and on account of his
great speed was a first class point
scorer. Outside Of these accom-.
plishments there appears to be
little in the way of athletics that
Brewer has not accomplished.
No claim Is made at this time
that Brewer Is as good as he ever
was. He sustained broken leg
two years ago and has done little
Or no track work since he left
prep school. ii. c. Byrd says
that In q month or six weeks he
will be able to produce and the
experiment will be watched
closely tonight in Baltimore and
later in the out-of-doOr meets.
Georgetown with a host OF first
class athletes will make strong
bid for honors tonight in the Fifth
Regiment Armory. The Hilltoppers
will have all of their cracks with
the possible exception Of Kanally
who Is under the weather.
But one South Atlantic event 10
listed for tonight's games which
leaves Georgetown free to COM
pete In nine open events and on
special 1000 race. The Blue and
Gray will probably come through
with first honors although Wash
ington and Lee, Hopkins and Vir-
ginia will press the Hilltoppers.
Technical High School. Central,
Western and Episcopal are sending
large numbers Of track athletes for
special relays and the interscholas-
tic events.
Georgetown is facing Fordham in
q special medley relay. Tech and
Episcopal are hooked up in trio of
relay events. Virginia and Mary
land Freshmen are running while
Georgetown, Hopkins and Wash
inRton and Lee are matched in the
South Atlantic mile championship.
