DEWITT HIT
by TRACK
SLUMP

Track, once a major sport as
Dewitt Preparatory School, seems
destined to undergo a serious
slump during the impending
spring, With a turnout OF only
five candidates registered to date
it is likely that a coachless rep
resentatives win be formed.
Clarence DuSsalt, former
Georgetown University haR.niler,
was considered as coach for Q
time, but the small batch Of
aspirants now In line makes the
appointment Of o mentor highly
improbable.
The discrimination Of the
annual Dewitt track and
field carnival 10 thought to
have had something to do
with this lapse, while the
Inauguration Of other spring
athletic activities has also
depleted the squad.
It must be admitted that the
five candidates available are Of
high caliber. Francis Knott,
Francis Bernard, Bill Summers.
Bob Burke and Milton Abramson
are all top+notch performers and
would ordinarily form the nucleus
Of a powerful team. Tom Keefe,
football star, has also expressed
a desire to turn out for the
squad and viii probably do 50
shortly.
The rut into which the rack
situation has fallen can best be
explained when it is noted that
only one entrant, Milton Abrarn.
son, will compete in the Univer.
sity Of Virginia games midway Of
this month. Abramson, q dash
man, Is exceptionally fast and
expects to get somewhere in the
competition.
1t is also reported that only
nominal entries viii be made
i'm other major track events.
On the other hand baseball.
which was reported to have
passed into discard some few
weeks ago, will be continued.
James Leighton Cornwell, school
secretary, announced as much
yesterday. ..a
The demand Of the student
body played an important part in
this move. Although the diamond
game will be followed through on
only a small scale it will, never.

WEAVER WINS
ALL-EVENTS

Buddy Weaver, now dubbed
"Pee.Wee," swept into the all
event title in the Rosslyn Inter
league tournament after a great
uphill struggle. Getting $50
start In the team matches. he
slumped in the doubles, being
able to only muster a 33l.
It looked like his goose was
cooked when he was suddenly
taken sick on the day he was to
roll his singles.
Undaunted the game youngster
took to the drives determined
to do or die. He totaled 125 and
124 for his first two games, then
faltered badly in his last and
vital effort.
Going into the sixth box
he needed two spares with
fat counts to win. With one
last, herculean try he got
four straight marks for q
ISL and won the title han
Oily with q 1917, 20 pins
better than his nearest rival,
Simpson with 1857.
Doyle and Simpson won the
doubles title with 713, ii pins
better than Gordon and Clark.

OGueTWlSe MCKINNEY Will nave
successfully defended its title in
one Of the most gripping series
spectacles Of all time.
Yesterday Tech was pressed to
the limit to ward off Central and
consequently a four-cornered lead
ership tie but, thanks to the all
around play Of George LassiSse,
managed to edge out a hairline-
decision, ~ to IS.
Central, returned victorious
i'm its first three 1880 series
starts, accepted its fourth
loss in o row, and automatic
elimination from champion
ship affairs.
This victory cinched a cham
pionship tie for Tech. Even
should the Gray flop before East
ern Friday a play-off will be in
order to decide the title, since
the Manual Trainers are now
well out in front with five games
won and two lost.
The possibility Of q three-way
championship tie, however slight,
was brought about in the first
game which found Western beat
ing out Business after a grueIing
session, 1915.
Should Western get the better
Of Central in Fridays final while
Eastern upsets Tech, the three
viii be securely tied up and a
play-off required to Straighten out
the matter.
Central supporters yesterday
were treated to a rapid sue
cession of thrills before their
idols passed into the champion
ship discard. Flaring out bril-
Hantly at times Bert Coggins'
boys took over the lead, but Nc
kinley always managed to arise
to the occasion at the psycholo-
gical moment.
1t was anybody's game until
midway in the last quarter when,
with Central leading, 20-1o, George
Talburtt was awarded two flee
shots. Talburtt cashed the first
and when he missed the second
Slim Diversion followed up with
the two points that put Tech
ahead for keeps.
Central showed to best adj.
vantage I'm the first half
when il forged ahead early
and maintained an ADVANTAGE
most Of the way, but Tech
staged o spirited rally near
the end to lead ut intermis-
sion, lilo. The last half
was o pOint-by-pOint fiasco
until Tech got started in
the stretch.
Acting Capt. Bobby Lucas tried
hard to close his clubs series
schedule with a victory, but
Business refused to outpoint West
ern and the latter remained in
the title race.
Lucas himself hoped in four
field goals and three foul sue.
cesSes to account for II of his
teams is points and therefore
closed the current series in a
whirl of glory.
Western had piled itself up a
1875 lead at the midway points
but was speedily overhauled and
seriously threatened before finally
winning out in the last period.

SCOOPS COLUMN
By SCOOP-HIMSELF

After Cot McComas had read his
name in this column last week he
asked Scoop why he never told any
thing on himself. He said delighted
in putting other peoples names in the
paper but never pulled any jokes on
myself.
Even as much as Scoop talks about
himself and Col. Bell every week, Cot
would have the nerve to say that.
Cot wanted me to tell the people
about the time some women walked in
on me in the Chic Gales department
of the Pressroom downstairs, but
there isn't really anything to tell. And
anyway, it wouldn't be in good taste
with the principles of this column.
Scoop promises to publish anything
about himself that the Maryland
State Board of censors or the Oakland
Women's I-Told- You-So club will
pass on.

A couple of Oakland's big game
hunters are feeling rather thankful
today because they aren't up in Oak
lands Hoose-gow. They were down
at Swanton the other day practicing
with their high-powered rifles, so that
they would be in trim for their trip to
Canada this fall when they expect to
work out on some deer meat, when a
game warden arrived on the scene.
He was about to place the hand
cuffs on them, believing they were
hunting rabbits out of season, but the
big shots proved that they were rapid
fire artists with words at least, and
they finally convinced him that they
were harmless members of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
wild animals, and president and vice
president respectively of the society
for the preservation of mamma Chin
chillas. Col. Bell was at his post as
usual and got "shot" at the game
warden.
