IN RICHTER days Tor central are
x looming athletically speaking.
The boys in Blue appear to have
turned the bend in the road and
to be definitely headed for some OF the
glory that once was theirs.
For some time now, much longer than
any loyal devotee of Central rleishes, the
Coluhmia Heights boys have watched
major athletic prizes go to rival tnSti-
tutions.
There seems to be rather sound basis
now, however, for forecasting a return
to better things for Central athletics.
The Blue has ball team this season
which has shown an unexpected punch
in view of the fact that it is made up
almost altogether of boys of limited ex-
perience. Coach Ty Rauber has the
nine fighting and this means much in
athletic or any other kind of endeavor.
Bill Foley, veteran Central track coach,
appears to have squad which Is likely
to show we'll despite the loss OF Sucn
stellar material as Calvin Milans, high
Jump sensation, and Jim Proctor, clever
pole vaulter. The Blue might not have
done so we'll in basket ball as its fol-
lowers expected, but it did mighty well
in foot ball, giving Tech, the champion,
great fight.
Yep, CentraPs athletic stock appears
to be on the upgrade, all right.
And it would be pleasing to many, not
all followers of the Blue, either, to see
Central get back in the thick of things.
The school on the hill has a fine bunch
of coaches and fine bunch of students.
Moreover, it is becoming bit monoton-
Gus to have Eastern and Tech dragging
of so many public high titles.
Tomorrow will be visiting day for
schoolboy athletes of the District group.
Just one contest Is scheduled here, a
ball game between Forest Park High
and st. Adams.

ers will show away. Central will face
Princeton freshmen at Princeton, Tech
the Quantico Marines at Quantico and
Emerson the Navy Plebes at Annapolis.
Eastern and Tech relay teams will 60
to Philadelphia to compete in the Penn
relays, but not in the same race. West
ern's cracker-jack tennis team is down
for a match with Mount st. Joseph's
College High racketers in Baltimore.
Tech and Emerson fought to a "A
tie on the ball field and Westerns ten
mis- team vanquiShed Tome, to 2, at
Port Deposit, Md, in athletic contests

figured.
Base ball, track and tennis compe-
tition was carded today for District

On the diamond Dewitt and Business
