yoGr desire to see some action 2
visit 10 the stadium at Easter,
High School should appease your
hunger. All over the big field there is
something going on. While Charles NJ
tChiefe Guvon is drilling his Light Blue
eni White base ball hopefus on the
diamond, Mentor Gordon Rath is send
tn9 the Eastern track and field as
pirsniS through their PAGES i'll another
part Of the Enclosure and elsewhere IN
The far reaches Of the field Coach Elmer
r Eapl Eardell is diligently prepping
Tech Highs tracksterS
Yesterday the stadium presented a
particularly animated scene In addi-
;ion 10 the diamond and track athletes
the cadets put on a Snappy drill and
the stirring music of their band and
flying banners added pep and color.
Though Coach Rath has lost two of
the members Of the Eastern mile relay
team. which last Spring carried the
Light Blue and White 10 victory in the
public high championship meet he be-
lieves that he has material for another
fine four at hand. Capt Ted EntwtSle
and kenny Glow Of the 1927 combira-
tion are again available along with
William RoeeTSon. also with the squad
last wear. and there are three fine pros
poets IN Aubrey Martin. formerly OF
Langley Junior High: Albert Tolson, a
product Of Eine Junior High. and Ralph
Shackeiford, who attended Buchanan
School
Nor is the bright talent on the East
ern squad confined 10 the quarter -milers.
The sprinters are mostly green lot
snd none capable of filling the shoes OF
Henry Talbert, crack dash performer
Of last wears Light Blue and White
team, who has been graduated. has
come TO light thus far, though there is
some nifty looking material IN the
bunch. but there are a group OF eXcep- |
tionally promising aSpirantS on the JOB |
for the other running events. Alex
Goo6kowitz. who is stepping the half |
mile in ais. not bad for a schoolboy |
this time OF the season; Roger Smoak |
and others are showing their wares. I
Eastern is apt to be stronger m the field |
events this year than last Spring when /
weakness in this department cost Rath'S /
charges the public high crown. Had 1
the Lincoln Parkers been able 10 muster /
real strength in the discus throw they /
would have beaten Tech TO the title.
Some of the boys Coach Rath is de-
pending on to come through in the /
weights and jumps this year are Dale
Smell, Warren Anderson. Heinie Hoff-
man, Harry Bushong, Herman Riley.
Joe Wynn and Courtney Hayden.
Incidentally, Rath has hit on what
he believes viii prove valuable aid In
keeping his squad working hard. He
has posted a clipping from The Star
containing the summaries Of last
Springs public high meet on the door
Of the dressing room OF the squad with
the suggestion that all strive 70 equal
or better the performances therein in
oicateo. Until the time arrives when
o candidate is measuring to these
marks or coming reasonably close TO
them. Rath does not feel that the ath-
lete should begin to feel satisfied with
himself.
Despite that only one regular of last
years team is al hand. Central High
has high hopes Of getting together a
crecitabie golf combination. Lawrence
Kolb. captain Of this years team. is the
lone member remaining from the 1927
OUTFIT Dependables who have been lost
are John Shorey. Julian Heron. Burke
Edwards, Marshall Morgan and Ban
herman.
There are, however several newcom-
ers on the squad of upward of 30 who
appear decidedly promising and seem I
destined 10 gain regular berths. They {
are Tommy Webb. who has had consid-
cradle experience over the Washington
Golf and Country Club course; Nike
Oliver and Dolph Atherton, who have
shown 70 advantage In tests at Rock
Greek. and John Tierney. who has
given proof Of his worth.
Capt Kolb has announced that the
Central team will be selected on the
basis of showings in the public high
individual championship Tournament 10
be staged next Wednesday. These
choices. though, viii not necessarily be
permanent. Members Of the squad,
