be considerable doing the next
six days, the program is apprectably
lighter than those of recent weeks.
BY far the most interesting event
of the week is the annual event
high track and field championships to
he held Friday in Wilson stadium.
The affair. always a high spot on the
schoolboy calendar here, is unusually
attractive this year because no team
is outstanding. Central. Tech ana
Eastern, the latter for the first time
at least in recent years. are all re-
Sarded as having a real chance for
victory. Perhaps Central Is a slight
favorite. though supporters of Teen.
winner last year, believe the Manual
Trainers will repeat. II Tech wins 1t
win be its fourth triumph in as many
years.
Followers of Hap Hardell's boys be-
lieve that Eastern will score a consid-
cradle number of points, but that Cor
don Rath's proteges will hurt Central
most, pointing out that Eastern has
strong performers in events in which
the Columbia Heights team also is
formidable. However. neither the ad'
herents Of Central or Eastern share
this view. It is their belief that both
the Blue and White and the Lincoln
Parkers have combinations capable of
bringing home the bacon and that they
will do just that.
Western also has q number of clever
performers and may make showing
that will cause some surprise.
Among men that Tech will be de.
pending on are Postlethwaite, Bland
ford, Bailey, Hayel. Blackstone, Shaw,
Griggs, Adams. Mcdonald, Morhart.
Mcdonald. Hissey. Kriemelmeyer.
Edelblut and Jeter.

Zimmerman. Gilbert. Bennenson. Hys
man, Tressler, Buckley, Porterfield, r.
and w. Park and Stanley.
Coaches will wind up preparations
for the meet early this week, and by
Tuesday or Wednesday the athletes
will be all set for the classic.
Base ball and tennis teams of West
ern and Tech will meet Tuesday, and
those of Eastern and Bushes will
clash Friday In public high champion
ship tests.
Western appears a heavy favorite
to score over Tech both on the dia
mond and tennis courts, and if the
boys in red live up to expectations
they will clinch both titles, being vir
tuaily lin" so far as each is concerned
Both the Business Eastern contests
should be well contested.

men will face in a match for the out
door public high title Saturday al
