Last Spring Still With
Lincoln Parkers.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, R.

N11OOG11 III Is Q1IIICulC 10 pre-
dict the winner of the pub
i lie high school basket ball
championship series, which
gets under way next month, it is
not hard to pick a probable win
ner of the public high track meet
next Spring. 1t is safe bet that
Eastern will land its third straight
title in the annual games.
Field and track preparation will get
under way with a will at Eastern,
Tech and Central Immediately after
the Christmas holidays. Western again
will have small squad. Business, as
usual, will have no team.
Eastern. Tech and Central all have
lost valuable tracksters, but Eastern,
which had an unusually large and ca
pable squad last season, still has o
group of dependables at hand.
Central, too. retains a fairly good nu-
cleus. Tech, however, which had little
seasoned material, is now even worse
off,
Eastern last Spring swept to an easy
VICUOIy III LIlG ClCIc IQeeI, plllIlB up
66h points to 29h for Central and IS
for Tech Right now it appears that
the teams will finish in the same order
next May. Eastern must do most Of its
rebuilding in the running events, while
Central and Tech will have TO recon-
struct all along the line.
Prominent among the good ones
around whom Eastern will rebuild its
team is Bob Slye, who won three events
to score is points and take Individual
honors in the 1880 meet. Slye captured
the 120-yard high hurdles in 1875 sec
onds to clip q of a second OF the for
mer mark, the 220-yard low hurdles
in 264s seconds, just Is Of second
over the record, and was victorious in
the broad jump.
Other Eastern Talent.
Other leading members Of the East
ern SQUAD will include Fred Hutchin-
son, who counted eight points by win
ming the pole vault and placing second
In the shotput last Spring; Grover Ev-
erett, who was second in the 120-yard
high hurdles and third in the 220-yard
low hurdles; George Shorb, who was
third in the $50; Dave Sprinkle, who
tied for second in the high jump, and
Tony Palmer, who runs the dasheS.
Chester and Frank Miles, twins, are
among the graduated Lincoln Park
members of the squad of a season ago
who will be especially missed. Chester
won the mile and was o member OF
the mile relay team. Frank was second
to his brother in the mile and also was
second in the half mile. The Miles boys
now are at Duke, and, incidentally, are
doing well in athletics there. Frank,
running on the Blue Devil freshman
ross-country team, has won two races
recently. Chester played with the year.
Ling foot ball team.
Other Eastern losses include Conrad
Allison, who won the javelin throw
last season with q record heave OF 163
feet inches; Victor Farhood, who was
victorious in both the shotput and
discus; Charley Jenkins, who captured
the high jump; Dolphin Weber, who
was second in the 440; Don Swope,
who was a member of the mile relay
team; John Long, who was third IN
the iavelin and also broke the old
record; Paul Moffett, who was third
in the shotput, and Everett Oxley, who
heaved the javelin. Allison and
Jenkins now are at the University of
Maryland, Oxley at Detroit University
and Moffett at Catholic University.
Relay Team Gone.
Eastern has lost its whole relay team
which finished second to Tech last
season. In addition to Weber and
Swope the Miles brothers were on the
team.
Techs best bets are Al Reichman.
winner of the half-mile last Spring;
George Wohlfarth, quarter miller and
member Of the relay team, and George
Jones, low hurdler who is captain, de-
spite he did not win q letter last sec.
son; Eddie Quinn, winner Of the 100
yard dash, and Carl MacCartee. who
captured the 440, both of whom also
ran on the relay team, and Piggott
who was second in the 220-yard low
hurdles, are StalwartS who have been
lost.
It appears that Tech has a good
chance to repeat its victory in the
half mile and in the relay but beyond
that Is not expected to do q whole lot.
Centrars strength will depend in
considerable measure upon whether
Paul Hinkel, winner of the 220-yard
dash last Spring, decides to graduate
in February or remain in school until
June. Gene Colella, who was second
In the pole vault in the last title meet;
st. John, who was third In the mile,
and Ditzler, who was third in the 220-
yard dash are among seasoned Central
boys who will be available.
Riley, who was SECOND in the 100
and 900; Wilbur CroA, who was third
in the 100 and broad jump; Rose. who
was second in the broad jump, and
Brandt and LampSon, who were second
and third in the discus, are main losses
from last seasons Central team. Lamp
son also was second in the jaVeltn.
