WILL PAY A VISIT TO OLD
RIVALS NEXT WEDNESDAY
Manual Trainers Won Last Year, But Hardly Figure
to Repeat on Aggregation That Easily Beat
Eastern Yesterday, 81 to &c.

~OACH Elmer P. GIap) Hardel
Is energetically pointing hi'
Tech High track and field
~ proteges for their opening
Spring test against the crack
Episcopal High team, old rivals, on
"Wednesday, in Alexandria.
Last season the Manual Trainers for
the first time since they have been
meeting the Virginians annually on
the cinder path triumphed by just
points. Hardell does not figure MS
boys to repeat Wednesday, but does
predict that they will give Episcopal
mighty hard tussle and will finish
within not more than s points behind
their hosts.
A fun squad Of about 80 Techites
will be entered, says Hardell, who re-
quests the boys to gather at Tech
Wednesday afternoon at 2:S0 O'Clock.
All having machines are urged to
bring them. that as many athletes as
possible may be taken. The meet will
begin at $50 o'clock.
II Tech can develop a Splinter or
two. the Manual Trainers are going
to put up the stoutest sort of fight
to defend their championship in the
inter-high meet next month. Harry
Mullen, their best bet in the dashes,
is lost for the season, but Hardell is
giving attention to a number of boys
who are showing not little promise
as dash men.
Among performers who likely will
score points for Tech in track events
this Spring are. Capt, Shaw Black
istone, Howard Florence, Paul
Casassa, Basil Postlethwaite, Bob
Bailey, Bob Havel, Ed Shaw, John
Griffiths. Cliff Adams, Fred Morhart,
Grin Blandford. Omer Jeter, Paul
Fellows and Griggs.
Jeter also is expected to prove ex-
ception,4lly formidable in the field
events and other boys expected to
show well in this department are
Henry Mcdonald, Ward Oehman,
Arthur Kriemelmeyer, Paul Wollner
and Rosenthal.
Techs mile relay team should be by
no means weak, despite that only one
regular Of last seasons combination,
Capt. Blackstone is at hand. Other
members are Bailey, Havel and Shaw.
Whether Tech will be represented
in the Penn Relays April 1880, has
not been decided by Hardell.
During the holidays the Tech boys
will keep on the job. They viii train
each afternoon in Wilson Stadium.
out every morning.
Dewitt will not take part in the
Penn Relays. as the affair comes
too near the date of the University of
Maryland scholastics on May Z. De-
Witt wants particularly to enter it's
squad in the College Park affair.
TomorrOw's scholastic card contains
a rrn f0nT1tG
and a golf match. A practice tilt be-
tween Eastern and T. T. Keane Co.,
seniors at Eastern will be the lone
diamond game here. Dan Ahearn will
lead his Western 1opefuls against
Alexandria High nine on the Virgin
fans field. Dewitt will face Forest
Park High of Baltimore in the tennis
enga cement and Tech and Western
will clash in a public high match on
the East Potomac links tomorrow
morning.
A practice game between Western
and Strayer's mines at o'clock on
east Ellipse diamond was the only
competition listed for local schoolboys
today. Dewitt had a game with Briar-
ley Hall Of Poolesville, Nd, but upon
request of the latter it was cancelled.
An engagement between the teams at
Poolesville April 20 also has been aban-
doned. These two tits alone had been
arranged for Dewitt during the holi-
days. The West End schoolboys may
arrange a. game with the Potomac
Savings Bank team.
Gordon Rath's Eastern track team
proved easy prey for the sterling Epis-
copal High combination yesterday on
the Virginians' field, but the local
schoolboys put up a brave fight be-
fore going down, SO to 81 points.
From an Eastern standpoint, the per-
Torrance of Miles, who in his first
appearance in open competition won
the mile, the triumph of the S80.yard
115-pound relay team, consisting of
Botazzi, Martin, Rogerson and Hollis,
and the stellar work of Joe Cosimano
in capturing both the 220-yard low
hurdles and the javelin, to lead his
team in scoring, were principal fea-
lures. Taylor and Hand were most
consistent point winners for Episco-
pal.
Hibbs Bank team fell before Stray
