praise Of the treatment which he and
his partner, Francis r. Hunter. have
received on their European invasion.
whats all this talk about anti
American feeling in Europe?" Tilden
asked the correspondent while watch
ing the international hard court cham
pionships.
1--WE had been led to believe that
Americans were as popular as small
pox on the continent. I must say
that since Hunter and landed early
in May we have been received with
the greatest courtesy, many times
amounting to enthusiasm, and / take
my hat off to the European tennis
fans and the general public.
Germany was our first port OF call.
Both Hunter and l were received with
the warmest kind of a welcome. and
the most touching expression Of SEN
timents, although we defeated the
local champions. Then came Holland
where we practically were given the
freedom Of the cities. Belgium looked
upon us as long-lost brothers. and
here in France perhaps we have been
carried to the heights on the wings Of
Lindberghs cross-Atlantic airplane,
but / must say that never before in A
foreign country have we felt so much

w YHILE indications are that

NN it does not appear likely
that many records will fall
in the annual public high
school track championships tomorrow
afternoon at Central Stadium.
AS was the case last year there are
a number of mighty capable runners
In the schools. but few OF unusual
ability. only one mark was bettered
in the tracks events in the 1926
games Horace Hebb of Tech stepped
the 440 in 81 3.S seconds TO lower the
mark hung up by II. Noble Clacett OF
Central at Van Ness Park. way back
In 1906.
There were a number of new records
set in the field tests last year, how
ever and il seems that IL there are
marks to be broken it likely will he
some in this department, Those who
established new records in the 1926
meet were Coleman Jones of Central,
who heaved the jayelin 156 feet Al.
inches, to eclipse the toss OF 141 feet
7l-e inches, achieved by William G.
Roudahush of Eastern. in 1924; John
Mcdonald of Tech, who threw the
discus l20 feet inches, to beat the
throw of I20 feet : % inches made
by Arthur Baker of Central in 1924.
and the same Mcdonald. who hurled
the l2.pound shot for IS feet ll2

by Arthur Baker OF AZ feet 10 %
inches. Courtney Suter of Central last
year eoualled the pole vault mark of
II feet, set by Raymond S. CARRIER of
Tech in 1924.
Vault Mark in Danger.
On what the school boys have shown
this year it seems that only one boy
stands a real chance of joining the
ranks of recordbreakers. He is Henry
Mcdonald OF Tech. who in the Uni
versity of Maryland interscholastic
equalled the high school pole vault
Elark of II feet. Omer Jeter is an
0her Manual Trainer who might
"pull'' something tomorrow.
On the eve of the games everything
points to a red-hot struggle among
Tech, defending champion: Central
and Eastern. Tech admittedly is not
so strong as last season and has been
furthered weakened by the recent loss
OF Paul Casassa, broad jumper and
220.yard low .hurdler. Central also is
pot 20 formidable as in 1926. Eastern,
however has one of the best teams
in its history and will be striving
desperately to realize an ambition of
years by winning the meet. Western
has a Group of sturdy performers en-
tered, but is not expected to figure
strongly. Business will not be repre-
scented.
In the final analysis it would seem
20 be a. question of whether an unusu-
ely good Eastern team is capable of
Conquering Tech and Central combi-
nations that are not so strong as
usual, but are by no means weak. 1t
should be fine meet.
Here are the records at which the
echoolboys will be shooting:
