Evening star., 1931-04-29

Il mas held since LneSe pro-
grams were inaugurated
back in 1910 is to take place Sat-
urday, barring the unforeseen.
Forty-six high and preparatory
g.. schools are to compete in the 18
open interscholastic and closed
high school events, three colleges
Navy, Virginia and Maryland
will run in a triangular meet,
West Virginia appears against
Maryland in q base ball game,
Penn State in lacrosse battle,
William and Mary in a tennis
match and Virginia in fresh
man lacrosse game. This makes
a total of So institutions that will
be in competition.
As a matter Of fact, the facilities at
the Old Line school are going to be
taxed to the limit to take care OF the
approximately 800 athletes who will be
In competition in one sport or another.
Next year. with the construction now
planned. it will be another matter, as
twice that number could be handled.
but DR. w B. Kemp, and his committee
which is handling the meet, is, fgura-
lively speaking. scratching his head
almost continuously in his efforts to
make sure that all the athletes will be
comfortably fixed.
The greatest number of schools that
have been entered in the meet since
first it was held was 81, which was
last year Good weather Is about all
that is needed to insure an afternoon
of competition such as has never before
taken place in this section on a single
athletic field in the same day.
ALL the local high schools are
n entered in the meet, Eastern.
Tech and Central having big
squads. In fact. each Of these schools
figure 1t has q chance to capture the
meet. In former years they have been
right up in the running. Another
be Episcopal High, which is sending a
p big squad for the first time in years.
Allentown Prep, which won the meet
last year, was not invited TO attend
again because it is not believed that
its athletes last year conformed strictly
to the eligibility code set down on the
entry blanks. In fact, considerable
correspondence has taken place be-
tween the Allentown Prep School and
the University of Maryland athletic
authorities and the chances are that
when the matter finally is settled the
team point trophy which went to that
school last year will be awarded to
Central High. which finished second.
Hagt1 stovn High won the special
trophy for county high schools last year,
and it has entered q big squad again.
Hagerstown people feel that their team
has o good chance, largely because Of
the ability Of their star sprinter, Wild
mayer.
TN the triangular meet for the col
j 1leges, Navy seems almost a certain
victory. It was felt until recently
that Virginia would stand q good
chance, but records made by members
Of the squad IN comparison to what
the Navy men have been doing does not
indicate that 1t has anything more
than q slim outside chance. Maryland
Il certain to be rather a poor third.
However In the ether varsity events,
Maryland is likely to figure about an
even bet. Against West Virginia in
base ball and against Penn State in
lacrosse the Old Liners should put up
good battles
The track is in fine shape and ef-
forts are being made TO get the jump
ing pits IN Just as good. However, It is
unlikely that this will be accomplished,
as construction work IS just beginning
in such a place as necessities the
building of temporary pits for the meet.
ERRORS marred the base bal game
IL in which Georgetown squeezed out
s-s triumph yesterday over
Temple. It was the fifth win in eight
starts for the Hoyas and the fourth Of
the campaign for Hal Poole, ace Of the
G. U. pitching staff.
Temple got to Poole for IL hits, but
at that his exhibition was not 50 bad.
ErTofs by his mates got him in hot
water time and again.
Dick King and Bob Wholey, for
Georgetown, and Leon Whitlock and
Carl Clouser, for Temple, collected 5
bingles apiece.
