Three SCHOLASTIC
NESHAVE GAMES.
Tech, Central and Business
to PIay-0ther Squads
Will Practice.

~ EVERAL base bail mines OF the
District schoolboy group viii open
their schedules this week while
~ others will get In final ticks in
preparation for their starts.
Scholastic track, tennis and rifle shots
:lereabout also will speed drills this
week In order to be ready for opening
tests soon to be staged. H.
Tech, Business and Central mines all
have regularly scheduled games this
week, and Eastern, defending public
high champion: Western and several
other clubs plan to engage in practice
matches.
Techs diamonders will be the first
to see formal competition, being carded
to visit Alexandria for an encounter
with Episcopal High Tuesday. Bush
ness is slated to face Swavely at
Manassas, Va, Wednesday, on which
day Central is to play host to United
Typewriter Uniteds. made up OF Ameri-
can University athletes, in the Central
Stadium. Coach Seruch T. Kimble OF
the Central nine also plans several other
games during the week for his proteges,
including contests with St. Johns and
George Mason High Of Alexandria. but
he is not certain of the order in which
the teams will be met.
Much interest will attach to Techs
showing against Episcopal, as the Nc
kinney Quilt Is regarded as one OF the
leading contenders for the nag in the
public high series which opens April IL.
However, Paul Brown. Tack Ensor
and Homer Drissel, leading members
Of the team, have taken jobs during
the holidays and are not expected to b.
on hand for the game so its outcome
may not afford so much OF line on
the team after all.
Malcolm Edwards, former Wabash
College athlete. who is tutoring the
Tech squad for the first time. has
group Of performers of tried worth On
his squad, but his bright prospects have
been perceptibly dimmed through the
fact that Jules Sorrell. capable little
receiver. has been lost to the team be-
cause of the necessity of having to ur1-
dergo an operation. Sorrell DOUBTLESS
is one of the best receivers In schoolboy
circles hereabout and moreover was a
dependable batsman.
Brown, heavy-hitting outfielder, Is
being groomed for the backstop post
and just who will land his place in
the garden Is not certain. Capt. Drissel
and Willis Benner now appear rather
certain of jobs In the outer works.
As to the infield Edwards main prob
lem is the development of q capable
third sacker to take the place Of De-
marest, who has been graduated. Hienie
German. star first baseman. has again
clinched this job. Collins, little
but unusually clever secpnd baseman.
and Collins. tall shoristop.' loom as lead
Ing candidates for these berths.
Tack Ensor. a southpaw. who showed
plenty of class last season, is being
,fnS e. t,NA txr.Re ~
Techs hurting this season.
Lynn Woodwork. who has done con-
sistently well In the development Of
athletic teams at Business in view of
| limited material and inadequate train
| ing facilities. doubtless is the worst OF
as to seasoned material among the pub
| lie high group, having just one really
experienced player at hand in Charley
| Rich, first baseman. jake Lewis,
catcher, will not be available, at least
| for the first part of the title series. be-
cause of scholastic dificulties Eddie
Duryee, outfielder, also is not expected
to be at hand.
In addition to Rich leading infield
aspirants include Joe Brown. second
baseman; Bob Lucas, shortstop. and
Fred Finley, Spencer Chase and Bill
| Smith. third basemen. Those who fail
| to make infield berths probably will get
outfield assignments. according to the
| present outlook They will have to
reckon with Bin Sergeant, promising
outfield candidate however.
Eddie Leonard and Nathan Newman
shape up the best among Stenog mound
aspirants, while Roland Hargctt Is the
best bet for catcher.
/ Just how Central may do on the dia-
mond this season Is decidedly prob
! lematical. but Coach Kimble Is rapidly
getting a line on his material and hopes
| by the end of the week, after several
games have been played. to have good
idea as to just upon whom he can de-
pend.
Sanford Ross. bespectacled hurler. Is
the ace of the Blue and White pitching
corps. but there are several other likely
appearing rfloundsmen on the Job IN
Willie Park, Charles Jorg and Leonard
Megby. Dan Milwit and Francis Stan
are leading candidates for catcher and
when one Is not receiving he probably
will cavort in the outfield.
| Others who loom as regulars are.
Lewis Beazley, first baseman: Olive
| tBits) Shriver, second baseman; Ken
Fisher, stlortstop: George Brandt, third
baseman. and Sam Blase. outfielder.
| Cumberland, Colella and Butler, In
fielders, and White. outfielder. are
among others making determined bids
for regular jobs.
Tech, defending public high champion.
and Eastern will be the first scholastic
teams hereabouts to open their outdoor
i track seasons.
Eastern will entertain University of
Maryland freshmen April 10 In the
Eastern Stadium in dual meet. while
Tech will travel 10 Alexandria the fol-
flowing day for its annual opening en-
gaeement with Episcopal.
Central's first track appearance this
Spring viii be in the Dewitt meet April
90 at Georgetown University field.
