400 and 220 yard dashes and with
Lord Burghley and his Cambridge
teammates in special and relay events,
this years program promises to fur
nish some unusually good competi-
tioR. Nearly every section of the
country is represented and an entry
from Delta Collegiate Institute of
Hamilton, Canada, and the Cambridge
team give the relays an international
flavor.
The University of Wisconsin is
sending a complete team, including

have bunch of mighty sweet infield-
ers.
Coach Guyon also saw some things
yesterday in the way of pitching that
must have encouraged him, If the
performances of Andy Oehmann and
Ted Gossett, rangy right.handers,
against Episcopal can be taken as
samples they are going to prove
TO be mighty nice boys to have around
to help John CBiggyl Quinn, ace of the
staff. Oehmann was especially impress
sive limiting the visitors to hits i'm
the six innings he labored. Gossett
though touched up somewhat brislly
showed plenty of promise.
Elwood Shorty Kidwell, who has
been catching considerably in the
hope that Rankin. a good hitter.
could be used in the outfield, appears
TO be satisfactory defensively, but a
little weak with the stick. He got in
one lusty smash yesterday however,
that was good for three bases.
This is the way things stand at
Eastern with the interhigh series just
around the corner. Just how the
Light Blue and White compares with
the other public high teams the games
themselves must tell. The nine IS
coached combination, bristling with
pep and fight. And whether the team
wins or loses. provided it gives its
best, Guyon will be satisfied. And this
goes also for Principal Charles Hart,
who follows the fortunes of Eastern
teams closely.
Not single scholastic contest Is
listed for local field tomorrow. Coach
Hap Hardell will take his Tech High
track squad to Alexandria for its an
nual meet with Episcopal and Dan

Tech Episcopal meet 1t will be the
first test for the Manual Trainers and
is sure to prove the stiffest sort of
one. Last Spring Tech was winner
over the Virginians by just 2 points.
Tech does not expect tomorrow to
score over it's old rivals, who already
have downed Western and Eastern,
but Hardell figures to finish not more
than 8 points behind. Followers of
scholastic track hereabouts are await
ing the results of the meet eagerly,
figuring they are certain to give CON
siderable of line as to tho real
strength of the Tech team and an
idea as TO it's chances of repeating its
1926 victory next month in the inter
high championships.

Norway Settles Query,
Who Shot King Charles ?

An ancient dispute between Norway
and Sweden as to the circumstances
attending the death of the great Swed-
ish war hero. King Charles XII seems
at last to have been settled. King
Charles was killed by a bullet while
besieging the Norwegian fortress
Fredrikssten in February, 1918. He
was hit during the night, and from
the moment he died the rumor has
been widespread that a disgruntled
Swedish soldier shot the monarch
from ambush.
Swedish scientists have repeatedly
examined the wound in the king s
body, the last time only a few years
to establish whether the bullet came
from the Swedish or the Norwegian
side. A Norwegian clergyman now
publishes an old statement from a
man named Jon Nedlo of Myking,
whose grandfather belonged to the
garrison of Fredrikssten during the
siege and who shortly after King
Charles death confided to his COM
rades that he had fired the fatal shot.
His report runs in part:
while walking the bastions during
the night l saw dimly a gorgeously
uniformed man on the Swedish side.
/ fired shot and saw the man slowly
sinking to earth"
Taking into account the staff re-
ports that King Charles died in such
manner and the historically substan-
tiated fact that only one shot came
from the besieged fortress that night.
general opinion in Norway has settled
on Jon Vedlo as the killer of one of
the most brilliant war ,dngs of
