Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-03

It probably will be some time
before a cinderpather with Ed
wards ability will be developed in
Schoolboy ranks here. He was a
star of the very first magnitude.
He could run all the distances up
to the half mile in fine style,
though he perhaps was bit better
at the quarter and half mile
events. He also was the bulwark
of McKinley'S fine relay teams
and a shotputter of decided worth.
1t was Edwards great work in the
annual Spring championship meet in
1927 that carried Tech to victory, and
he almost duplicated the feat in the
1929 games. He did his share last year,
but the failure of mates in the javelin
resulted in Eastern edging out Tech in
total points, so to 40. Edwards Is a
boy of truly amazing endurance. Pos
sessing q fine physique, he is good
student and, withal. modest, likeable
youngster His many friends here are
looking to him to continue his track tri-
umphS for Pennsylvania.
Capable tracksters who have been lost
by Tech, besides Edwards, include Brls-
sci, Oehmann and Leo and Austin Win
ston, jAvelin throwers; Smith, miller;
Rosenthal, pole-vaulter, and oyster,
hurdler.
Quinn, sprinter; Pickett, hurdler. and
Reichman, quarter miller, are about the
only dependables at hand as nucleus
for the Tech team.
Hardell plans to start his track as
pirantS at work the first week in Janu-
airy, the usual time he gets them in
action. The boys will work in the cor
ridors and gym of the school.
Business High Is hopeful of staging
an athletic comeback during the baS-
ket ball season. The Stenogs, coached
by the popular Lynn Woodwork, had
a sturdy court qulnt last Winter and
with a flock of seasoned performers at
hand, are hopeful of making as strong,
If not a stronger, showing in the COM
ing campaign. The Stenog squad has
been at work several times a week for
the past few weeks.
In last Winters title series Business
won three games and lost five. 1t gave
Tech, the champion, the toughest sort
of opposition, losing one game by only
IL to 18 and the other 20 to 80. The
StenoRs lost twice to Western. one of
these games also being closely contested,
the count being 26 to %. Twice Business
pasted defeats on Central, % to Is and
Al to 80. After bowling to Eastern, %
to 30, the Stenogs came back to take
the measure of the Lincoln Parkers,
46 to 26.
Though Coach Woodwork has lost
such valuable performers as jake
Lewis, captain and guard; Melvin
Payne, center: Hugh Mahoney, forward,
and Eddie Duryee and Morris Denni-
berg, guards. he has host of Stalwart
players at hand In Nathan Newman,
Bob Lucas, Lester Jones and Harold
Kotzin, forwards; Bill Duryee and
man, center and guard, and Fred Fin
ley and Linwood Jones, guards.
Other likely appearing aspirantS in
clude Harry Warde: and Ted Gardner,
forwards; Sid Lstbin, center, and David
Nemerofsky, guard. All these boys
have had experience as members of va
rious quints at the Jewish Community
Center.
Business will have a light, small
quint, but If WoodworthS charges can
keep eligible enthusiastically, something
many Business students have been un-
able to do in the past, they are bound
to worry their opponents plenty.
Harry Hopkins, who has been manag-
ing one Business team after another
for the past few years, is to be grad
uated in February and Sammy Cohen
will take his place as basket ball
manager. Hopkins will be sorely
missed by Woodwork and every one else
at Business, where he is unusually
popular. Gao Curtin of Eastern is
Hopkins lone rival for managerial
longevity in the public high schools.
Though the st. Adams foot ball
team Is not winning often this season,
