Techs Lofty Place in Sports
Due to Genius of Hap Hardell

doing fairly we'll in foot ball. but its
cinderpath standing was next to nil.
In 1923 he was made, athletic director
and varsity coach OF foot BAN and
track.
since that time mis- foot ban teams
have lost only two championship games.
Only once has Tech finished lower than
second in the high school title series,
and the championship was won OUT
right in 1928 and 1928.
On other occasions 1t was tied for
first place. In the last six years Har-
dell elevens have scored ,375 points
against so for opponents.
All this has been accomplished under
conditions that would have discour-
aged soul less fortified than Hardell
He has had no training facilities not
begged or borrowed. His gridironers
and track men have travelled many
miles getting to places to train. Not
infrequently they carry their equipment
home.
Elmer Hardelrs foot ball record at
Tech is brilliant, but In track 1t Is even
better. When he took command of the
Manual Trainers they had no team
worthy of mention. Central was so
superior to all other schools in this
sport that the annual championship
meet was held merely as matter Of
form. It was question usually Of how
many points Central would score or
which school would win second place.
But this condition lasted not long
after the dynamic Hardell got under
way. He routed cut all sorts Of young
sterS, shot 'em full of his own pep and
of some Of them he made athletes. The
foundation of his track team was laid
in 1920 and 1921, but 1t was not until
1928 that marked success appeared.
Tech won the championship that year.
Hardell carried on to what might be
termed a complete conquest of Central,
for the other schools had felt the track
tyrant'S power even as Tech, He
smashed completely the Central monop-
oily of cinderpath honors and made
Tech its successor. For i've, consecu-
tive years now Hardells teams have
held the high school championship.
Other schools have outscored Tech in
meets other than the title affair. But
that has been due somewhat to Har-
dell's system Of getting his boys in
trim. He believes that a sciloolboy is
better of If brought along by easy
stages. Hence in early competition the
Manual Trainers sometimes are left in
the ruck. In the recent University of
Virginia indoor meet, for instance,
Eastern scored 30 points against 10 for
Tech, but to those acquainted with
Hardell's methods the trimming was not
altogether indicative of what should be
expected in the championship meet this
Spring.
At Eastern. however. It is thought
otherwise. The Lincoln Parkers are
being handled by Mike Kelly, the only
coach who has won championship
foot ball game from Ha-dell in the last
six years, when Mike was Central
tutor.
Mike twice turned the trick-once In
1925 and again In 1927. He's q deter
mined cuss, this Kelly. and he Graves
Harden's scalp In track, too. He isn't
likely to find 1t easily detachable.

Union swimming championships
4 seem to have developed into a
duel between the star perform
ers Of the East and West, Walter
Laufer or the Lake Shore A. c.. Chi

Not satisfied with victory apiece in
the two events of the opening day, this
pair of Walters has entered nearly all
the other swimming events to be COM
peted for during the week.
Spence. winner of the 300-yard indi-
vidual medley swim last night, con-
tinues today as the leading competitor
In the 220-yard breast stroke event. It
was his great performance in the breast
stroke, third Of the medley that enabled
him to beat Laufer by hairs breadth
in an exciting finish. The race was
SO close that It required consultation
Of the five judges before the fastener
was given the decision by a 3-to-2 vote.
The time was 8 minutes 40 seconds,
more than seconds better than
Spence's old world record.
Laufer, winner OF the 100-yard free
style. In which his Eastern rival was
third, does not get a chance to add to
his iaurels today. He is no match for
the Spence boys, Walter and his younger
brother Wallace, who completes for the
Brooklyn Central Y. M. G. A. in the
breast stroke, and his club has no team
In the 40O-yard relay, the only other
swimming event to be contested. A new
championship record Of 81 As seconds

must satisfy him until more free style
