ford Tomorrow
keen CONTESTS PROMISED
By PAUL PREP

THE Intcracademic League track and
L field championships will be decided
on Walton Field, Haverford. tomor.
row afternoon.
The meet originally was scheduled to
be held on Franklin Field. but as the
Penn grounds are being renovated, 1t
was decided to hold the meet on the
Haverford College field.
Competition in the meet promises to
be exceptionally keen this year. .Hav.
erford School and st. Luke's School
have entries for the first time in his
tory. And both institutions have speedy
teams.
Penn Charter, Episcopal Academy
and Germantown Academy will have
hard job trying to win the title. No
one school has the title sewed up. as
was the case in former years. and each
has an equal chance to cop.
However. judging from past perform.
ances this year. Haverford School
seems to have slight edge on it's op
ponents. While the Maroon and White
is very strong in track events, it ss
going to drop flock Of points when
| the field events are held.
Haverford School has we'll balanced
should win the furlong dash with ease,
having recently run the distance in %
20. He also has a great chance to
win in the century as he is a regular
| 10 2-5 second performer in this num-
ber.
Jones, the Haverford captain. has a
great chance to win the '44O.' but ne
will have stiff opposition with Middle
ton, Of st. Luke's, running against
him. Stevens. in tln mile, also should
gather few points.
England seems to be Haverford's best
bet in the field events. He has a chance
of winning the shot. while Corson and
Weaver may place in the high jump.
| Penn Charter recently was beaten by
Haverford in a dual meet. but can be
counted on to make good showing in
tomorrow's meet. The Queen Lane
team has winners in the hurdle and
pole vault events, and may grab a few
! second and third places. Howell should
cop in the low and high hurdles, while
the pole vault Is surety.
Captain Hathaway is the outstanding
star on the Episcopal team. He Is n
speedy half-miler, and can run the mile
in splendid fashion, He is fast enough
to place in both of these events in any
small college meet, and has great
chance Of winning.
Episcopal also has brace of stars In
the hurdle events. Both Long and
johnson have been showing good form
this season, and will give the fleet
Howell plenty of competition.
! st. Luke's and Germantown Acad-
emy are the dark horses" of the meet.
Neither school has shown startling form
! this season, but both have some brilliant
athletes. Both of these institutions are
strong in the field events, where all the
other schools are weak. and may come
through. Middleton and Martinez, both
of st. Lukc's, can be counted on to
gather quite a few points.
Alexander Grant is in charge Of the
meet. Mr.. Grant has selected the best
officials in Philadelphia to handle the
affair. which will be started promptly
at 3 o'clock.
Haverford College has turned over
its entire athletic facilities to the prep
school athletes. and is doing all in its
power to make this the best inter-
academic league meet ever held.
